At the beginning there was only a few websites. Today with the internet growing faster every day, there are so many websites, and not all relevant for everyone. This is why we have search engines; they help us find the most relevant websites for us at the moment.

To make it easy for the search engine robots to know what a website is all about, tag or keywords were created. These are a one word or one phrase that describes you pages the best, for example "Planning a wedding".

If you don't use keywords the robots will take longer to find your website, but if you douse keywords, and even use more targeted keywords, the chances the search engine robot will find your website faster.

After choosing the best and most targeted keywords for your web pages, there are more ways to help the robots index your site and you should use them all, but not over use them. Start with a title for your page; this helps not only the robots, but your visitors and future customers too.

After the title, use a description for your web page, a short summery about your website, a little preview for your reader and also, a little clue for the search engine robot. Use your chosen keywords in the description, will help for faster indexing.

If you are using html, insert your keywords in the links title tag and in the images alt tag, this will also help for getting fast results, and will provide a short description for your reader about the links and images on your site.

Make sure to repeat the keywords in your content, however do not overuse it, or is will look like spamming and will end up getting you banned from the search engines and not the best results you want to see.
