Hey guys!
I was just looking at the Squirrly plugin for wordpress and one of the things it recommends is bolding keywords in the actual blog post to help google figure out what my content is about. Is this going to be beneficial or should I disregard that recommendation?

    Do you see BBC.co.uk highlighting keywords and bolding them?

    Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

    No don't do it. This was a strategy that was only minimally effective a couple years ago (worthless now) and now only succeeds in making your site look stupid.

    I agree, especially with do not do any underlining. Try to post to your blog daily if possible and post content close to your niche. It's important to know who wants what you are selling and know who your audience is.

    I agree with the rest DON'T do it, but if you are going to do it just bold one keyword not all of them.

    Now what you need to do is post great unique content to your blog at least 2-4 times a week if not every day.

    You need to have a Article, video and a image if possible to get the most juice from google, you also need social signals on each of your post so Google sends you some more love.

    Once you have post to your blog you need to add back-links to each post, now some people will say that back-links are dead, but in reality they are the ones that are dead wrong. I add back-links to every post I make I will continue to do it to all my blogs or websites because they work. Also add the article to Article directories and add the video to all the video directories and the image to all the images directories and linking back to your post.

    Do this right and you will have traffic coming to your website.

    If you are new it will take some time to see any real massive traffic but if you stick to it, it will work for you.

    Good luck.

      I think it doesn't matter already knowing that google algorithm is after of the quality of the content and how it is valuable to your target audience.
