Google Webmaster's Keywords aren't making sense

  • Unknown's avatar

    My blog is very new and I was excited to see that the Google Webmaster Tools have come up with some keywords. But to my dismay most of them are complete garbage. Here are a few of them:
    Skip
    Blog
    Email
    New
    Post
    Wordpress
    Sidebar

    And others that have next to nothing to do with my blog.

    I have just a free account right now so some of the solutions that I’m finding on the web that require editing HTML won’t work for me? How can I get some real keywords picked up by google?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I only see one Post in the blog linked to your name – not much for Google or anyone to latch onto – try writing a few more Posts and see what happens.

    All of those things are a part of the very core of your blog. The reason Google’s picking up on them is, you haven’t done anything else. The internet is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.

    I was thinking that it would pick up on my tags for the article for keywords. I’m very new at blogging and with the subject of SEO. I might just be paranoid that I’m doing something wrong but I’ll just keep on posting blogs.

    Thanks!

    It can take the search engines a little while to get things straightened out and more accurate. I’ve seen them pickup up and list the tabs in the navigation before. Basically the search engines are sort of a mess.

    Keep blogging and building up content and they will start getting things right. It will just take a month or so.

    What really brings the SEO is WORDS. Search engines love text.

    If you think you can use tags on a single post to draw traffic to your blog you are wrong. You need to produce fresh content frequently. If you think that search engine bots cannot detect keyword stuffing you are wrong. If you think that search spiders cannot detect that the tags used are not found in the text you are wrong.

    Regarding number and relevance of tags on your single post please read this support entry > global tags > missing posts The rule of thumb when assigning categories and tags is: use the minimal combined number that accurately reflect the content.
