how to show up in google using certain key words

[jiam1]

Could someone advise on how to set up a website (using html code or...?) so that when someone googled using certain words, the web site address of my site will show up?

Thanks and regards.

Use those words in your page's title and text.

Google's algorithm is very good and any attempt to trick it will be punished by bumping it lower.

To get a better rating, make a better, more popular page. To be found on google at first, include such content on your page. If you want "Fish" to bring up your site, be sure to include that somewhere on your page. But, really, it's all automated by google's analysis. And it's generally pretty good.

research SEO practices.

Search engine ratings follow a structure.
Using proper headings <h1><h2><h3> etcetc...
and descriptive titles / meta data will get your page rank higher.
also the longer you site is online as Daniel and John stated the more frequently it will be accessed, thus bumping up the site activity and search engine rating.

meta data will get your page rank higher.

Not with google. Other search engines may still use this (most don't), but google does not, as far as I am aware.


Note that there are two separate levels here:

Example: your website is about "deep sea fishing"

1. Google finds your page and people can find it. Now, "deep sea fishing" will bring it up within the first few thousands results, and it will be somewhere with just "fishing".

2. People actually visit your site via google. Now it gets bumped up. Once your site becomes the most popular, it will be at the top, if that ever happens.

So, you can do any tricks imaginable to get google to add your page to a category (and sometimes google will ignore that), but that will only get you listed. Then it's just a matter of popularity.

Google and Yahoo maintain the same methods of search indexing nowadays, and the basic works are like on a point system, the more points you have the higher the rank.

I don't know the point values as such but a basic break down goes like this:

1 point for every click from google to your site.
1 point for every properly coded page
0.5 points for every click from your site to google
2 points for every site linked to your site


there are others but those are the basics. Google and Yahoo, as Daniel touched on, no longer warrant Meta Data in their search indexing. It is about content and click-throughs now.

If you have interesting content, and other sites link to you, you willbe more popular on the search engines.

According to me, I firstly recommend to learn SEO. Secondly, meta is one of the important thing I assume is necessory to be on the top on any search engine.

This is the code of meta put it in the head section of your webpage:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="" content="">

The more improved meta will help you to be on the top of any search engine. I hope to see you some where up when I will find anything regarding to your site.

Daniel just said that it wouldn't.

[djr33]

No. Google and Yahoo (and others) IGNORE meta data like that.

And if you bloat your page enough with it, they may bump you down in the ratings.

[BLiZZaRD]

Well, in a sense you need to be specific. Because they all use some META, like the robots, index, no follow (although this is getting less and less support) as you SHOULD use robots.txt

and they all still use the description content. If you do not have a description tag, then they will use the first 20 or so words found on your site.

But as far as keyword content... they don't even parse that anymore.
