Exclamation Is this a NO NO in googles eyes?
Hey all, I was working with my website trying to get it optimized as best I can, and I thought I would test something out. I put all of my keywords at the very top of my page, they arent hidden in anyway so I dont think google would have a problem with it. But, when I did it my keyword relevancy went up to 100% from 84% . Check it out and see what I mean HERE.
Is that against the google rules or not?

I've seen people do this all the time. It helps the google search but it really takes away from the website itself.

Does Google ban you from their site forever and ever Amen? No ...

Does it hurt your overall concept & design? Yeah ..

That's my opinion though so please don't take it the wrong way.

You may want to check out OTHER search engines as well, and try and submit your link to them. A lot will let you and it'll help get word out about your site.

Google is a big site, but not everyone uses it

One of the more vague Google Guidelines :

Quote:
Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"


Does what you tried help the user? No.
Would you do this if search engines didn't exists? No.

As the previous post mentions, you will not be banned for doing this, but it is frowned upon. I wouldn't recommend it.
