*Wrap up
I am getting a lot of contact work lately. And with it comes a lot of questions about SEO. So, onto the question.
Question: I am going to do some limited SEO work for a client. She wants me to research keywords for three web sites and write the META tags for each site and no site content will be rewritten to include keywords. Is this a good approach to get search engine rankings?
Answer: In my experience, the best way to get rankings is to combine META tags with site text rewritten to include keywords. Over time, META tags were severely abused so search engines started given visible site text more weight. Today, META tags are fairly irrelevant to most of the larger search engines though some of the smaller ones still use them. As I have stated in many of my SEO articles, the best way to get rankings is with your page’s Title tag and site text.

I am also the chapter leader of DigitalEve Columbus and I recently redesigned the web site. One of the developers who was helping me with a RSVP page also put all the site pages in to ASP. The rankings for the HTML pages were very high. So I am interested to see if the pages will keep their rankings in ASP. I will let you know. Feel
free to email me any questions! Thanks for reading my newsletter.

"I wanted to let you know that our rankings on Google are now in the top 3, on almost every search we've conducted (most of them are in 1st place)—without using quotes to call out specific phrases.
This is in searches that result in over 20,000 pages per search. We're backlogged with orders until late June, possibly July. You ROCK!” Diana Holycross, Tiles with Style."
