please go to my website below and view source and you will see my keyword section in the code is blank. My web guy said he left it blank because it has no weight in rankings. is this true?
My site is ranking good for the easy keywords but no so good for the competitive keywords.

  • Google doesn't use them because they were abused years ago for seo advantage, that along with invisible keyword stuffing on your webpage

    • Completely agree with this. It couldn't hurt to have them on your site, but there probably won't be any advantage to having them

      Thank you That is what he said but I see so many sites jammed with keyword there so it made me wonder.

  • Yes and no. It's true that Google doesn't put much emphasis on meta tags for your site to rank well. However, Google is not the only search engine. Yahoo and Bing still give much weight on a website's keywords to rank your site..
  • Are you hoping to rank for the keyword 'carpet cleaning tampa'? I was just wondering as you have it in your signature, but the phrase does not appear much in the content of the page that links to. It is in the title and appears once in the text, but there are no H1/H2/H3 tags with this term in and the density is rather low.

    • So are you saying the key phrase needs to be on the main page? because I have that phrase many times throughout the pages of the website just not jammed on the first page.
      Also what are H1/H2/H3 tags?
  • yes you are right, i have also not seen keywords at your site.
  • It would help with your on-page SEO if the key phrase appears in the content, title, headings, etc. of the page you are trying to get to rank highly for that keyword - this may not be your homepage, I was only asking because that's where the link in your sig points to.

    Which page on your site are you trying to get to rank highly for that key phrase?

    H1/H2/H3 means Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3 - these are HTML elements within a page. Here is a basic explanation: Heading Tags and SEO
