3. Use the keywords from your list to optimize your website by adding one or two relevant keywords to the title, headings and the general content of each page of your website.

Tips & Warnings

• If your website is new or you don't have any data in your log files, or static reports, simply use a free keyword suggestion (found on the Internet) tool to find keywords relevant to your site.

• On the home page of your site, use only the keywords that best describe the general theme of your website.

• On the internal pages of your website, identify the subject that is most important for that particular page and use only the keywords related specifically to that subject.

• Use the keywords from your list in the strong tags, file names, image descriptions, table summaries, image file names and meta-tags.
