Meta Keywords - 12th of October 2009

Well after last weeks discovery that Cambridge keyword has quite a bit to offer me regarding search term wise. In this post I will be discussing Meta Keywords, their use, the advantages, and how hopefully they might affect my ranking in my next post.

I am going to include some Meta Keywords in my homepage that will hopefully increase my rank and not only Meta Keywords but try and include the word Cambridge to help in the keyword density.

After doing some research I have seen the keywords from my competitors, and I have decided to use these keywords:

<meta name="keywords" content="SEO, Search Engine Optimisation, Consultant, SEO Consultant, Search Engine Optimisation Cambridge, SEO Consultant Cambridge" />

Even though Google doesn't count keywords towards optimizing a website, most of the websites that are highly ranked do have that, so I can assume that it has at least some effect on rankings.
