You must have noticed however that I am changing the keyword strategy for the next three to four weeks especially keeping some of the immediate link building needs in mind. A Google PR update in the next three-four weeks seem imminent and that's why the experiments. I will settle with a strateg this month.<strong>@Kurt</strong>, The recrawing will depend on how your sitemap's timestamp changes and its frequency as well. Regardless of that a save as unpublished followed by a 'Publish' will make sure that the SEs are informed of the changes. Simple save may not do this. @Kim, thanks… You must have noticed however that I am changing the keyword strategy for the next three to four weeks especially keeping some of the immediate link building needs in mind.

I've been looking at this recently with my elephant site. I've found that elephant is too generic but that a lot of people are looking for baby elephant. I've been playing with that phrase to see how it works out for me. Hi Ajith – I really like the way you used a personal example to explain the best way to select keywords.
