Q: Use of Commas in META keywords phrases?
Christopher A Krokos
- Thailand Thai Export
- Asia Oriental Antiques
- Jade Gem Jewelry Silver, etc.,
and I don't want to repeat the word THAILAND or THAI in each phrase.
How should I go about it?
QUESTION 2: Is the use of COMMAS absolutely necessary to separate
each keyword phrase or can I skip using COMMAS at all?
Kind Regards,

Different people are going to tell you different things about the
comma's in meta tags. In general, you do not have to use comma's at
all. By using commas you will be able to specifiy a particular
kephrase, when using comma's, each word is taken by itself.
As for your keyphrases, do some research and find what the most common
search prhases are for your products (look at cometing sites etc.).
Once you find those, those are the phrases you want to target.

If you want a word to be part of a phrase then the phrase must be separated
by commas from other phrases and words.

They are not phrases unless each phrase is followed by a comma.
Without commas phrases are just words.
And use commas to separate words, and also to separate phrases.

I thouhgt it needs a space after.

I wouldn't bother so much about the META KEYWORD TAG. Most SE's do not look
at it at all. Focus on the Title, H1, Alt Tag, body text and hyperlinks for
your keywords. I agree with Anthony's explanation about the COMMAS.

Wow, I didn't know that! And thank you for pointing this out :-)

Well I am not a professional web builder but I know what the
Page Title is :-) But....what are those things?
(1) H1
(2) Alt Tag
(3) Body Text as I understand this the content of the particular page?
(4) Keywords Hyperlinks??? I understand "keyword" and "hyperlink",
but what do they mean together?
Please explain and I am sorry for being such a dummy :-)

Great, I read Antony's note and I got the message. Thank you :-)

underneath your text which may or may not cause you layout problems -
probably personal preference though. I for one will be extremely glad
to see NS go under, especially with Opera on the horizon.

>(1) H1
= Header I think !? Big letters on top of a page. Isn't right ?
>(2) Alt Tag
=Alternative text tag: You place it on a picture, you know when the
cursor is on an image, a little box appear with somthing wrote inside.
Something like image001. Instead of putting such a name, you use it to
put a keyword instead like Mustang if your page is about cars.
>(3) Body Text as I understand this the content of the particular page?
Yes, the text is important, it most containts your keywords. Font
size, first lines are important. Text on top is considered to be
important for s.e.
(4) Keywords Hyperlinks??? I understand "keyword" and "hyperlink",
but what do they mean together? = the text within the link itself
must be a keyword if possible.
Must place your Keyword everywhere.
Sorry for my bad english.

Well, with my poor web building skills I may just skip <H1> - <H6>
issue. I can't even create Alt Tags. I can't do much building a site
with Microsoft Publisher 2000, right?
>I for one will be extremely glad to see NS go under, especially with

Any way, in order to be more searchable by our famous robotic SE is it
wise to place an invisible text (in the same color as the background)
in very small font size on the top of the page and above everything???
Does it make any sense to you at all? My way of thinking is: if SE is
looking for legitimate text information at the top of your page,
perhaps it is what I should have done??? Or am I simply DEAD wrong?

space is not necessary after a comma.
a blank space counts as a character.
there is a limit to total number of characters recommended
I think it is 200 for keywords META tag.

key words, counting spaces as characters, exceeds recommended maximum number
of characters for particular grouping.

The important thing to remember is that using Meta Tags for "description"
and "keywords" does not hurt in any way.
All major search engines offer friendly tips on how to set up your website
to try for betterlisting in their particular search engine. Check Yahoo,
DMOS, AltaVista, etc., just the biggies.
Check out these tips, print them out, study them, and try to apply them.
Basically, your title should be short and include a high percentage of key
words.
Your index (home) page should include a high percentage of key words high up
on the page.
So what are "key words"?
They are words that someone searching for info on your products or services
would reasonably be expected to use in a search.
Important! Trim all the fluff, baloney, BS, and unnecessary text from your
pages.
And read the following references for HTML info..
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/www/htmlPrimer.html
Also do a search using key words like "html design". and others.
the Internet is full of FREE info on HTML language.
More questions?

I think it's more of that for keywords in metatags. I think 200
characters is for the description tag. I shoulg go digging in my
notes taken at my beginnig of learning this stuff.
