Is it possible to have a keyword phrase in your keyword meta tags? Example: is it possible to use the phrase “new cellphone” as a keyword phrase, by not separating the words with a comma? Or do keyword phrases in meta tags not exist? Would it just be better off to list my keywords like this? “new, cellphone, …”? Expert advice needed…
1) You can use both keywords and phrases. A combination would be recommened. In your example, you can use “new cellphone,new handset,new mobile phone”. There’s no need to use space if you are already using comma as a delimiter 2) You should be selective of the words in the keyword meta tag because you should limit yourself to only 10 to 12 words. 3) Make sure that you keywords in the meta tag are also found in the content of your pages. 4) Do not use too much repetitions of the same words. 5) Avoid using the same keyword tags in all of your pages. 6) Many engines do not bother with the keyword meta tag. This is because the emphasis is on the actual text content and headers rather then the meta tags. I believe it must have been overly abused to a point where some search engines can’t be bothered with this tag anymore. Place more emphasis and effort on your content.
