Here are some tips for optimizing keyword tags:

* Include web page headline with <h1>Headline Tag</h1>

Ranking Well for Particular Keywords

Here are some tips for ranking well for particular keywords:

* Avoid highly competitive keywords

Trying to rank well in Google for a keyword such as "weight loss" is nearly impossible. There are simply too many competing sites... Sites that are highly optimized with high PageRank, thousands of backlinks and that has been around for years.

Rather focus on less competitive keywords where you can have a much better chance of getting a good ranking in Google. It is better to be on the 1st page of Google for a keyword that gets 10 searches a day than on the 80th page of Google for a keyword that gets 100 searches a day!

Some very well established article directories such as Ezine Articles can often help you in getting on the front page of Google. In other words, if you write an article for your new website it will most propable rank a lot lower in Google than if you submit that same article to a top article directory. You would obviously link back to your own website from the article, thereby getting traffic and backlinks.
