How does google get my Keywords so that people can find my site?

[garyjos]

Hello


I have written to [e-mail], I only got a general reply which did not answer my basic question.

My question is how do I get google to find all my keywords in order for some one to find my site?

It appears to not notice the keywords in the meta data section, at the beginning of my main page?

I know google looks at the text content of my main page.
So I have now added visible keywords on my main page at the bottom, as it appears that google does not notice the keywords in the mata data tags.Will this work?

Thanks For Any Help

Gary.

You're correct - the Meta Keywords are so easily corrupted by junk sites that Google no longer accords them any weight.
The Meta Description is occasionally used in the SERPS snippets, if, for example, the page is graphics based, but it does not count for as much as a good title and an <h1> in defining what your page is about.
