|  moookid | Apr 22, 3:56am | It's important to realise that simply making keywords italic and strong won't really have much effect. It's about context - the google (and other) engines are smart now; you need to structure your site with appropriate links, you need to write your pages smart keeping your keyword density at the optimum level, and using header and paragraph tags properly (using XHTML strict and CSS). There is no 'this is what is best to do' formula for SEO anymore.. you have to understand all of the concepts and make the best use of them in the context of your situation.
AFAIK italicizing keywords doesn't make any difference. If you're working towards XHTML strict (which you should be!) you should be avoiding italic tags anyway :) |

| | fluomundi | Jun 8, 1:40am | | can anyone explain keyword density and the % of keyword per page/post. I have not read anything about this yet. |
