Google: We Don’t Use Keywords Meta Tag

Don’t bother with keywords meta tag, and focus description tag on what makes users click.

Spending time stuffing the keyword meta tags for your web page? Don’t bother.

That’s the official word from Google, which says it doesn’t consider what you put in your keywords meta tag at all. You may as well leave it empty. The company hasn’t used the keywords meta tag for many years because it was often abused.

For a while people have suggested that the keywords meta tag meant very little, if anything. But still a bunch of people have peddled the notion that they’re important. Countless search engine optimization packages analyze your description tags and keyword tags compared to competitors to try to decipher what you need to include in them. I know that I always put a couple keywords in for pages that I develop. So it’s good to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Also, that long page description you’ve been writing for your description meta tag? It doesn’t play a role in search rankings. But it is sometimes used in the search results display. So rather than stuff it full of keywords, just try to make it most relevant for potential visitors.

Even more important, focus on making your web site valuable to visitors.

Y Combinator Companies Pick Go Daddy for Domains, Google for Email

Go Daddy and Google popular among Y Combinator companies.

Ycombinator Where do Y Combinator’s startups register their domains and host email? Here’s a handy chart generated in August using domain-profiler.

Go Daddy dominates the domain registration business for Y Combinator startups, according to the chart. Go Daddy also has a large share of the SSL market. On the email side, most of the startups are fans of Google.

When it comes to web hosting, a good number rely on Amazon’s backbone, and SoftLayer and Slicehost also have a good share of the business.

Another thing you might notice by looking at the list is that many of Y Combinator’s startups are customers of Bad Web Site Naming, Inc. From webmynd.com to wundrbar.com to bountii.com, perhaps Y Combinator needs to offer some more advice on name selection.

The Number One SEO Secret

The number one way to get search engine traffic to your web site.

Want to know a search engine optimization technique guaranteed to get “loads of traffic” to your web site? How to get “laser-targeted” visitors? I’m “going to spill the beans”.

It’s not the SEO secret Google doesn’t want you to know about. In fact, Google’s Matt Cutts has even publicly discussed this fantastic, white-hat technique to get better search rankings. You just missed it.

I’m about to disclose this secret, and I’m not going to charge you ~~$97~~ $47 for an eBook (but my advice also doesn’t come with a money-back guarantee and I’m not going to show you a screenshot of my Clickbank account).

Ready. Here it is:

Create compelling content.

That’s right, folks. You didn’t hear it here first. Google has been telling you this for years, but if fell on deaf ears.

Here’s how this incredible system works. You create a web site, make it usable and valuable to web visitors, and build it up over time. You don’t farm out article writing to someone in India. You don’t copy articles from article directories. You don’t splog. You don’t stuff your meta tags. You actually create your web site with your visitor in mind.

Then a funny thing happens. People start linking to you naturally. It’s not like you can ask Microsoft, TechMeme, and TechCrunch to link to you. But if you create compelling content, they will.

There’s really only one drawback to this not-so-secret SEO trick: it takes time. You actually have to care about what you’re doing. But unlike other “tricks”, you won’t find that Google one day decides to drop you from its index.
