Seo - Misc.

SEO-LAD

Most likely this is because the page content has changed but Google's copy hasn't been updated.

I agree. Keep on truckin'.

Jeff Blackwell

That sounds about right.

Notice how I cleverly titled this thread MISC, so I could keep coming back with more? Here's another basic question. Does the alt text in images count toward word density? Also, I would like to check the desity of some of my pages. I tried keyworddensity.com, but couldn't make heads or tails out of the results. Are there any others?

Jeff Blackwell

To my knowledge, "all" code on the page counts.

Here are a few: http://www.seobulletin.com/blog/index.php?s=density

thanks for the help! (one of these days I'm going to stop re-inventing my website and actually publish and submit it! What a learning process.

I know, some of them are like Greek to me, too!

Ok--you knew it was only a matter of time before I came up with some other trivial SEO question. In an effort not to disappoint...Here's my question:

I understand the logic that having links within your site to a certain pages gives it weight for SEO purposes. I've also seen references relating to keyword density and using keywords in links. Does that mean that: 1). within that page X which is optimized for keyword 'X', it doesn't hurt to have text links that include the word 'X' OR 2). Does that mean that links within your website that refer back to page X, need to have the keyword 'X.'

What I am asking is if I put a link in the footer of my pages to Page X (that is optimized for keyword X) if the text in the link needs to include the word 'X' or it can say a different word without affecting its benefit to page X.

Did that make any sense??
