SEO & Keyword Use for Hubs
Other than utilising the google keyword tool (to hopefully find a lovely niche) and attaching tags to your article, where can I find information on how to incorporate my keywords into my hub effectively. In normal website world, you use H1, H2 etc. Does that apply here and if so how?
There are some simple techniques that you can incorporate to effectively make use of your keywords. The most important step is to choose the right keyword (if not the best). I have really suffered because of my decisions with wrong keywords. So, its really important to choose the correct keywords. The other thing is to correctly make use of them. The same onpage principles apply to Hubpages that are applied on any other website. You need to put your keywords which are the most prominent to the spiders. So, put them in your title and in the titles of your capsules. Also, don't forget to give your images alt and title tags and fill your keywords there as well. Also maintain a nice 2% density in your content but put them more frequently in your opening and closing paragraphs (or capsules). I know these are basics but they are the most important.
Hope this works.

You see, I started a hub on one topic and then changed my mind in the middle of it.Now, back then I had no idea you couldn't change the URL later, so I was horrified when I was stuck with a URL that couldn't...

I've read a lot about the importance of doing keyword research, but then you also get the impression that to really do that research properly can take a long time unless you get lucky early on or really know what you are doing. So I wonder, with some people pumping out huge amounts of hubs, are...

There are tons of hubs on keyword selection and the various tools one could use to make the process easier.But, like most things 'net - they are mostly copies of copies of copies or poorly strewn together theories by intermediate writer-marketers ..So I ask... what was truly masterful, what made...
