Keyword Cloud

Mr Marketer · 11-22-2009, 02:45 AM

I'm helping a collegue with some off page SEO for his website. He's in a rather small nich only about 188k search competition. We've done some web 2.0, link wheels and bookmarking. Initially we saw some movement, but for the last week or so there's been no movement, and the site has bearly moved in rankings.

One thing I am not experienced with yet is keyword clouds. He runs a Airport Limo service and his keyword cloud has many combinations of keywords, most all of them include the word limo or limousine.

Could the keyword cloud be hurting his rankings? Too much keyword density?

I doubt it, I've had some crazy high kw densities and it didn't seem to "hurt" my rankings, but it also didn't seem to help. Just make sure there's a lot of other content on the site or your rankings might bounce around as the spiders find different content on your site every time they visit. Although, rankings sometimes bounce around a lot anyway...

Most new sites go through a period of either no ranking, or very slow rankings for the first several weeks or so. Keep building some good backlinks and you'll see it move upwards. It takes some time though for everything to be found and settle in. You might even disappear for a few weeks, but keep building good links and perhaps add new pages of content to get ranked for other keywords.
Good luck.

Its only added link list just to tell search engine bot that you have a categorize/compilation of article based on a specific keyword.

Just watch that you don't do any KW stuffing.
