Directhit

submit page - the keyword box?

[mr_dredd2]

I've always wondered exactly how important that keyword field is on the directhit submit page. Any thoughts anyone?

Kicking this to the top because I'd like to hear the answer to this as well.

I also fill it in, and hope it is very unimportant to rankings received on each page.

I've done some submittals with keywords, without, and with some off topic - just to see if it did anything different with the different pages.

Problem was, the spider never came round on all of them to let me know if what I did was good, bad, or ambivilent.

They don't spider very often, at least, for new stuff, and I've been watching closely on many new things for almost a year...so Direct hit if you can get in, might produce something, but as is, it's a zombie.
