Step 8: All About KeyWords

What are keywords?
When you type some thing in google search box, have you ever noticed that in search results some of the text is bold while other is normal. That bold letters are keywords in your search query. Google matches keywords in search query to keywords on the website.
So basically keywords are the words in your site which will be looked onto by google while searching.Technically speaking , these are the tags that one can define inside the META TAG of the webpage. These tags are the definition of your website for search engines, so one should define them with care. Please see links below for "How to add keywords to your meta tags?"

Example, if I type FLOWER into my search, the first site that comes up is going to be the one that has FLOWER in the meta tag, and the word flower found various times throughout the article. Search engines are not people, so the use of proper key words in your tags and content is very important in search engine optimization for your site, allowing those searching for your particular topic to be guided to your site. Make sure you choose keywords RELEVANT to your topic. You want the traffic coming to your site to be those who are interested in your particular topic. Appropriate keywords are like a telephone number for your page, and when someone types in your "number" or keyword, your page shows up.

How to determine what keywords to use?
Think about your content, and think of yourself as the person who will be searching, what would you type into a search? Review your website, and pick out words you use frequently. List these words and phrases as they will form the basis for optimizing your web pages so that they will rank higher on the search engines. The more specific your keywords the better. Remember that single word keywords will have a lot more competition for top ranking search results than phrases.
