Adding Keywords to my site, will Google notice?

Hi all.

My first post in this forum on DevShed, so bear with me.

I have site, and I have just added the meta tag keywords to all the pages. The site is on google, because I can find it if I type in the sites URL. Now I have added these keywords will google automatically ( or any other search engine for that matter) automatically notice this?

Ot do I have to do something for Google to re-rank my site and find the key words?

Thanks for any help on the matter.

J Noble

Google will not 'automatically' see that your page has meta tags with your keywords in it.

More often than not, more SE's will all but ignore the meta keywords tag in your headers.

The real way to get good placement for keywords is to make sure that you have links coming from relevant site with your keyword/s as the anchor text, and to make sure to use the <h1><h2>... tags in HTML to accent an important part of your site (the keyword). Google will give more weight to the latter mention items over the meta tags.

Also, it might be a while before Google re crawls your site, at which time it will pick up the changes. (meta tags,content)
The PR of your site has a bit to do with how often, and how deep Googlebot goes to/into your site.

Just some food for though.

Also, welcome to the SEO forum!

also make sure to create a sitemap. this way you can tell google exactly how important parts of your homapge are and how frequently you want google to come by and check for updates. when you manually updated some pages, resubmit the sitemap and sure enough google will crawl it
