Use of HTML for Keyword Placement

Proper use of HTML is essential not only for the development of webpages and blogs, but also to convince search engines that the site has relevant information and is worthy of being ranked. One of the least used areas of the page for search engine optimization is the webpage title.

Search engines don’t care about how clever your title is, or how you may have used big words to impress your audience. What these search engines do care about is locating keywords. It is suspected that Google’s search engines don’t look past the first 120 characters of any title, and it is believed that the use of punctuation in your title will count as some of those first 120 characters. Like looking for Los Angeles apartments, the search engine crawlers don’t want to spend much effort looking for your keywords. Therefore, it is very important to choose your title so that Google will take those keywords into consideration when ranking your site.

HTML is invisible to the readers, but the author of the site needs to ensure that the site’s title and description adequately contain the keywords within the first 120 characters. Don’t stuff your title or description; the search engine only needs to find it once and it doesn’t care how many times you use it, but your readers might!

Make your title and description interesting and relevant to your site. It should be a kind of teaser, enticing people to click on the link to go to your site. This is the first exposure a reader will have to your site and if you want to gain organic traffic then you need to give them a reason to click on your link.

Understanding the basic use of HTML to properly place your keywords in the site’s title and description is imperative to ranking well with the search engines.

W3C Woes

The Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C), being one of the leaders in the development and disbursement of structured information standards, has fallen under a lot of heat. Although the service provided through the consortium is undeniable, and the need for such organizations is equally acknowledged by all industry players, certain aspects of the management of the W3C leave room for improvement in the eyes of many.

One of the major issues of contention for the global consortium to deal with are accusations, often not too far from the truth, of a disproportional role played by larger multinational corporations, often overshadowing the multitude of smaller players. The W3C has been criticized heavily, as a result, for essentially writing guidelines that match the needs of the dominant corporations while ignoring issues of concern to these smaller players. This coupled with an obstinately stubborn history of not being open for change or adaption has proven to be quite disheartening for many representatives of smaller, local interests.

A more specific example of a Worldwide Web Consortium woe would be W3C’s inability to create an HTML specification that would be adapted by the growing internet community. For example, the W3C didn’t make great efforts to deal directly with actual Web designers that would constitute the majority of those who should’ve been applying the HTML specification. All-in-all, these efforts resulted in what can’t be termed as being anything but failure, as even today, the vast majority of users don’t properly apply the specifications.

This can be considered as nothing short of a lack of communication, whereas the presence of communication is the defining feature of a consortium. Without proper support for dealing with improper implementation, W3C’s turning a blind eye to such issues led to a culture of incorrectly used HTML code (not according to specifications) which would still ultimately “work” even if not entirely appropriately or even if it provided for difficult reading, therefore, difficult changes and improvement. Summarily, this has led to the present state where though browsers can typically render, the existence at such a level of this problem could ultimately have been avoided.
