Hey Warriors,

I have a number of website being found on the top page of google but I am looking to promote a website for someone but there is one problem, they dont have the keyword in the contents. Its relavant contents but doesnt have the keyword in the contents.

How do I overcome this problem?

I was planning on writing a number of unique article and have the keyword in the anchor text of some of these articles. Then I was going to social bookmark all these articles. Will I be wasting my time or with patience will this website be competing for a top spot on google like the rest of my websites?

Thanks

Laurian

  Hi Laurian,
  
  It certainly is possible to rank for a keyword that is not found on the page, however it may require a massive amount of backlinks.
  
  It would be wise to ask the website owner to add the appropriate keywords to page titles, meta description, headings main content and internal anchor text.
  
  Thanks

  Well, it depends on what Bill Clinton started--depends on
  what is, is!
  
  What is actually a keyword? Is it a search term or something else?
  If it is defined as a search word you are keying for, I submit
  that it is indeed possible to rank #1 without that keyword
  showing up on a page. I have seen many personal sites
  that use one's name as a dot com. For example, let's
  say Bill Smith. I have seen websites like billsmith.com
  with nary a mention of their name. But, sure enough,
  do an search for this exact name (and the more
  unique the better), voila! Numero Uno or at least on
  the first page. The more unique name you have the
  more chance of it showing up #1. I remember when
  cyber squatting was popular, many people snatched up
  celebrities names dot com. Irritated when surfing to them
  and realize it is just a page with ads and no content.
  But it ranked #1 for that name.
  
  My business partner Stephen Carr, has stephencarr.com
  Go there and there is no mention of stephen carr.
  (yes, the meta tag for author does state stephen carr,
  but nowhere is stephen carr mentioned.
  In fact, the only stephen carr is in an image.
  
  Do a search for stephen carr, it shows up #5 on yahoo
  and #2 on google. Not bad for no content about any
  stephen carr. Yes, it does have links for info about
  stephen carr, but the first page is what shows up and
  does not mention stephen carr. If this mattered, I would
  contend that the linked site would actually show up, not
  the index page. I could be wrong. Someone will educate me.
  
  Who would do a search for stephen carr? He was
  a popular soccer player from Ireland. There was also one
  from Australia who was a figure skater.
  
  In short, depends on what a keyword is.
  I assume if you have a domain that has some
  unique combination of words, that alone would be
  good enough to rank #1 in rare instances.
  
  Of course, it all depends on your definition of what
  a keyword is. Question: Can a search term not be
  considered a keyword?

I've managed it a few times through strong backlinks so yep it can be done. But it's not the best way to rank for your target keywords.

A coupe of years ago, I received a chain email asking us to google search for a specific word in french (a synonym of stupid, which I cannot recall). The first result was the official page of my province's Prime Minister!

So yes, I would say it is definitely possible to rank a page for a keyword it does not contain!

Thanks

The anchor text of your backlinks can help you get listed for that keyword (I assume you mean an exact keyword phrase, right?).

So if the page only contains the phrase "Monkeys go crazy" but you want to rank for the phrase "Monkeys go apeshit", then build backlinks with "Monkeys go apeshit" in the anchor text.

Thanks

Is it that sensible to try and rank for a keyword that isn't include in the website content? Its likely to lead to a pretty bad user experience and bounce rate, thus negating the point of get the high ranking in the first place!

Man that is too much! I am ROTFLMAO! Made my day!

Good points, however.

It is definitely possible. The classic example (which I am surprised no one has mentioned) is the keyword "Click Here". Type it into Google, and you will find that Adobe contains 4/10 rankings on the first page, including the top 2.

However, if you search the source code and the page contents, the keywords are nowhere to be found, and the page isn't relevant at all to the keyword "Click Here".

However, due to the massive amount of backlinks from people using the anchor text "Click Here" when linking to those pages, Adobe outranks many websites that actually have "Click Here" in the content.

So yes, it is possible. It is more difficult, but it is definitely possible.
