Not sure if this is the right section but I've received great support and help from this sub forum so I figured I'd start here. So when working on projects for work we often use tags and keywords for SEO. My question is a simple one- if we use a key word like ophthalmic technician jobs do we also have to use the key words "ophthalmic technician" "ophthalmic" "ophthalmic technicians" or are the SEO algorithms smart enough to create other keywords from my one keyword?

other examples :
if I have ophthalmic front desk career
Do I also need ophthalmic, ophthalmic front desk, front desk career, ophthalmic career, front desk career?

if I have ophthalmic managers career
Do I also need ophalmic manager, ophthalmic career, ophthalmic managerS career, etc.?

or will the SEO algorithms recognize terms within terms? Thanks in advance for your support.

All i can say is there is a shitload of tool for creating lists by permutation of keywords. Whether or not these are of any actual value?

Keywords are deprecated from all major search engines minus Yahoo

Focus on headers, image alt texts, and communicating better what the content is on your web page over meta data

just to clarify
I mean focus on headers, image alt texts, communicating better what content is on the page moreso than using meta data

keywords in the meta data are basically irrelevant to SEO even in Yahoo, they only add a very tiny amount (if at all) to raise their position
simply for the reason you can put anything inside of keyword tags, but actual displayed items on your page can't be used to rig search results since that is information the user actually sees

people actually clicking on your site will raise your SEO

You should check out the program IBP because it will tell you which keywords are right for your site and how much traffic those keywords get. Other then that just do some research on competitive keywords for your niche. PM me if you need any help, I have page 1 ranking for over 20 high competitive keywords cross sites.

your page is ranked 9 when I search "site discounters"
lol

read what I wrote, you might learn something



See I don't even have the description meta tag setup and my site is ranked #1, above Facebook
whereas your site is listed below Facebook and so on, stop giving advice here, seriously, you need to read up on your information before giving out false information

Death banger doesn't realize that google caches his site.

I've seen several posts of this guy talking about how awesome he is, yet if you look at his site he's got a stock wordpress theme that hasn't been customized at all and still looks 10x worse than the theme.

There is such a thing as bad advice - listening to someone who doesn't understand basics will get you in trouble.

Obviously you can't read because on my edit i said old site and parked it about a year ago in October. I guess no matter what I say and proof to you nothing will change your mind
