Hi all, Two more SEO questions for the experts please.

Should keywords be separated by just a comma, or a comma and space, or does it not matter?

If I am trying to reach out to people searching for an investment adviser in Hitchin or St Albans or London etc, will it be sufficient to have "investment adviser" as one keyphrase and "Hitchin" "St Albans" and "London" as other keywords and the search engines somehow pull them all together or do I need to have "investment adviser Hitchin" and "investment adviser St Albans" etc as keyphrases.? If it is the latter, it will be so much more difficult to have all the keyphrases show on the web pages which freewebsubmission.com seem to rate as being desirable.

For me it is like a golfer that has a good round so from them on he always wears the same lucky shirt when playing (comma and space) as far as listing the keywords together or separately I do both just keeping in mind not to use the same word weightier together or separately more than 5 times. Concerning the web site analyzer on freewebsubmissions it checks the relevance of the keywords and description to the text content of the page that I have found very useful in custom designing the way the search engine see and list my sites. Another program that I use and have found useful is a program called Copernic Agent:

It lets me set markers on my competitor’s websites that notifies me whenever they update their pages

Here is a great tool. Aim for 100% relevance with between your content and title, description, and keywords.

 If your not sure what keywords are best compare them at http://www.google.com/trends

Thanks Colatax. I have used Freewebsubmission.com and this is similar. What is confusing is the outcomes from the two sites. Just two examples:

www.focusedfinancialplanning.co.uk/investment.aspx gets a keyword rating of 89% from freewebsubmission and only 47% from submitexpress.

www.focusedfinancialplanning.co.uk/lifestylefinancialplanning.aspx gets 95% from freewebsubmission and only 29% from submitexpress

Am I missing something here?

Kind regards

Hello focused2:

You will notice slight differences between the keywords that the two analizers detect, that is what is causing the differences in the results (the algorythms are slightly different). Here is yet a third analizer you can try http://www.highforce.com/metatag/meta-tags.html

Thanks Scybyte.

I like this one best of all - just like I'd probably buy the most flattering mirror I saw!.
