  1. 23.05.2018 Optimize Keyword Density With The Expert From Semalt, Natalia Khachaturyan Keywords cause a lot of confusion to business owners which is why some of them may be skeptical about starting SEO. Currently, there is a ?ux of companies who claim to offer services that can get a website to the top of Google results. Such questions as which one of them is lying and which one is not, or whether investing in SEO is the right choice are bound to arise. In this regard, the Content Strategist of Semalt, Natalia Khachaturyan, offers a simple solution to the highlighted problem: Most people commonly misunderstand the use of keywords in SEO In 2009, Matt Cutts explained that Google was no longer using keywords as part of their search algorithm. Despite this warning, people have continued to have this misconception that keywords are vital to their SEO. They continue to use the keyword meta tag despite the fact that Google.com disregards them completely. Keyword Stu?ng https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1843.html 1/3

  2. 23.05.2018 When SEO was still in its infant stage, among the problems that search engines tried to cope with was keyword stuf?ng. Initially, search engines could only focus on the on-page factors before they became sophisticated enough to handle off-page factors such as the use of backlinks. Keywords were among the on-page factors that web developers would place in the backend of a website using a keyword meta tag. The tactic quickly became misused by an activity known as 'keyword stuf?ng.' Keyword stuf?ng is one among the many SEO tricks used as Black Hat tactics. Many people got wind of how they could stuff a lot of keywords (some of which were irrelevant) in the tag to manipulate information visibility. Users could not see these keywords, but it led to the delivery of misleading and inaccurate search results. Google's response was to disregard the meta tag during web indexing entirely and have continued to make this clear. As much as people think of this as a myth, the truth of the matter is that Google no longer uses keywords meta tags in its web search. If Google ignores the meta tag, does it mean that keyword stu?ng will not hurt the website? Contrary to popular belief, keyword stuf?ng does hurt the website. As much as keyword stuf?ng offers no SEO value, it increases the chances of not ranking at all. Google has found a way to search for other forms of keywords stuf?ng. Cutts con?rmed that the release of the Penguin algorithm in 2012 would, in fact, decrease the rankings of those sites thought to violate Google's existing quality guidelines. One of Google's guidelines that have long been in place is the avoidance of keyword stuf?ng. It states 'Don't load pages with irrelevant keywords.' It suggests that despite Google not using the keyword tag for SEO purposes, it's algorithms still look for issues of stuf?ng and manipulation. Other black hat tactics include: Invisible text. Invisible text. Many spammers stuff keywords in the text by matching their colors with the page background. The idea behind this is to hide these keywords from the human eyes but not from the search engines. Through this, spammers hope to increase their relevance on the search rankings without changing the website's appearance. Hidden text and links. Hidden text and links. Other hide text behind images or use the Cascading Style Sheet as an alternative to keyword stuf?ng. They use tags which make it possible to hide them in the respective browser but keeping them readable to the search engines Keyword stuf?ng outside the keyword meta tag. Keyword stuf?ng outside the keyword meta tag. Even if you over-use keywords in other tags on the website, it could have adverse effects on the site rather than improve its ranking. Always strike a balance between writing for a human being and the search engine making sure that all content reads naturally. https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1843.html 2/3

  3. 23.05.2018 Duplicate tagging. Duplicate tagging. Refers to when the user replicates titles and meta descriptions across the site. Google does not view this as repeated content thus assuming that it is relevant. Instead, it treats it as duplicated content and thus ?lters it out of the search result. Where do we go from here? A sound approach to SEO is multi-faceted. However, it all comes down to focusing heavily on the content provided as well as relevancy. People must change the way they approach SEO and shift from using keywords to search terms. https://rankexperience.com/articles/article1843.html 3/3
