that is the question of the decade. here are my recommendations but before I place forward them, I want to tell you this is something I researched long and hard and there is a lot of ill-treat answers that people are giving and thus is making your job harder so be careful key words are very vital and linkbacks it used to meta keywords and descriptions were the key but not so much anymore I ran crosswise a link that has some AWESOME information in it. there is 2 videos you can watch that will educate you on this (they are free) and you can also sign up for a newsletter (highly recommended, I recieve it) I also recommend to subscribe to my blog or my newsletter I am constantly writing fresh articles and thoughts for people such as yoursself and you can test my theories and articles. I have a passion to help peole not sent them down the ill-treat path. If I can be of any further help feel free to contact me. My links are the starturfuture. I have article all throughout the web so you will be seeing me. also the last link at the bottom is a meta tag generator in case you feel you need to go that route.

Meta data is only used by search engine spiders. It appears above the HTML code that forms the underpinnings of your site’s presentation layer.
Meta data includes such things as your site’s name, URL and key word tag. Once the most vital factor in search engine results, keyword tags in meta data don’t have the weight they once did.
SEO tips:
1. submit your site map to Google and Yahoo. This provides spiders with a set of directions and “personal” invitation.
2. Add HTML title tags to each page. Each tag becomes a Google listing, thus providing many more site access points. That’s why, if I search “Harry Potter” on Google, one listing on the first search engine results page (SERPs) will be for Amazon. If I click on it, I’m taken directly to the Harry Potter page very than coming through Amazon’s front door.
3. Even though meta data stays the same from site page to site page, add it to every page. SE bots are none-too-bright.
4. Avoid keyword stuffing. 2-3% is excellent. Anything over 5% starts to sound like gibberish.
5. Use embedded text links in the main texts of your site. Search engine spiders follow links, so if you give them a lot of links within your site, spiders stay longer, index more and provide a more accurate picture of your site.
6. Use your HTML description tag to appeal to humans, not spiders. The description tag content appears directly under the blue link for your site on SERPs.
7. Avoid anything that even hints at black hat tactics, i.e. no invisible text, title tags match page data, keyword density of less than 5% in main text; 50% in headers.
8. Place keywords in headlines, underlined, bolded or italic text.
9. Focus on your top five keywords and phrases at first. Then, gradually expand your list.
10. Irrevocably, visit Google’s webmaster central. This search engine runs the web world so you might as well do exactly what the Googlistas want, and they tell you what’s legal (and excellent) and what isn’t regarding SEO.
Excellent luck with your site,

The most effective way to advertise on the Internet is
to first set up a website and publish its domain name
on major search directories such as Google.com,
Yahoo.com [at?...... and
MSN.com in view of the fact that 85% of Internet shoppers rely on these
search directories to provide them with goods and
services. In a sense, these search directories are a
very large Internet Yellow Pages.
Nevertheless, should your website or opening webpage
fail to contain "generic" keywords, then anyone using
such "generic" queries will not be able to learn
your website. Your domain name [URL] of your website,
in a sense, will be invisible, undiscoverable.
You may want to deliberate some simple algorithms which,
when observed and committed in designing of a website
with placement of innumerable critical metatags that can
surely achieve a high search engine presence and
increase Internet traffic to your website. These
metatag strategies work well with published webpages
at Google and Yahoo.
Point: Should you make an extensive Sparkle-based
website, make sure to fill-in the property entries
such as the Title, Description and Keywords. Failing
to do so, leaves no hard HTML or ALT resource that can
be readily indexed by search robots. Also deliberate the
Internet consultation and their incoming setup. For
example, if they are on analog/dialup, Sparkle webpages
take too long to load up and therefore analog users
will likely lose interest and discontinue entering the
Sparkle site. On the other hand, anyone on hi-speed DSL
lines, will welcome Sparkle pages which load quickly. So
before designing a pure Sparkle websitge, question the simple
question, “Who’s my end user – is he on dialup or
DSL?” And if you had to choose between these two users
for most marketability, then select analog users
in view of the fact that 80% of most resident users are still analog
Internet subscribers and pure HTML calculated webpages
is best for them.
A non-Sparkle-based website which relies on hard text,
is far simpler to be indexed by search robots. Limit
the use of stylized text saved as .gifs in view of the fact that as a
graphic, they are not indexable by search robots.
Avoid use of frames in view of the fact that any number of search robots
are unable to properly classify textual material.
Placement of Metatags:
A ranking or search peacefulness does take place with Google
and Yahoo and it starts with the “Title” metag which
should consist of no more than 65 characters separated
by commas. The “Title” should describe in generic
stipulations, the goods and services, followed by a location
from which the resource is located, i.e., city, state.
The placement of a domain name which is not generic
within the “Title” is not appropriate, unless your
domain name is a major recognizable brand name.
The second metatag is the “Description” which is
usually 25-30 words to form a complete sentence which
best describes one’s goods and services.
And the very last category – “Keywords” are also
somewhat limited to 15-16 words which can be plural
and compound in nature. Again, avoid manifold entries
which could be mistaken as “spamdexed entries” which
is defined as the loading, and submission of
repetitive words into a particular metatag category.
“Spamdexing” when learned on a webpage and reported
to Google’s spamreport.com can result in the
elimination of your website from their search
directory.
Here’s an example of a very highly-placed website on
Google.com: Start with the very “generic” search query
“sandwiches downtown los angeles,” taking note to not
abbreviate Los Angeles to “LA” and of course, leave
out the parentheses (“). It will bring up some 2.4
million+ search results. Check out everywhere “Nazos.net”
is ranked. It’s ranked No. 1!
Again, Nazos.net’s high web presence was achieved by
genteel web point and placement of relevant metatags
according to Google’s publication guidelines.
Excellent luck!
