I actually do not bold keywords, but my important lines or phrases in the post.<strong>@Nicholas</strong>, thanks. I will write about keyword optimization and related tools soon.<strong>@Shirley</strong>, most of the keyword tips are word-of-mouth or read-elsewhere...though I found some of them to be true. I too get some decent traffic for those pages that are optimized (e.g. the example in this post alone gets 10-20 vists day)<strong>@Donace</strong>, thanks for sharing your experiences. Internal linking with keywords is really important as you rightly said, so is self-linking.<strong>@qarla</strong>, for blogs like yours you need more than one strategy. You should use more 'hot trends' based keywords and then for all-time-favorite posts, use proper long term keywords<strong>@Chinese girl</strong>, internal PR updates happen on a regular basis. It could be a matter of few days before your internal pages get indexed and granted PR. I see mine changing very often.<strong>@Madhur</strong>, thanks buddy, am glad to know that it was useful to you.<strong>@Kurt</strong>, thanks a lot for keeping this post bookmarked :)<strong>@SK</strong>, Thanks bud.<strong>@Harish</strong>, you are welcome buddy. After all, it's a blog for bloggers :)<strong>@Richael</strong>, optimizing keywords will follow soon... This weekend I have not been keeping and hence wrote a little more about internal optimizing.Not sure whether it's strong tag or b. But I am yet to fully subscribe to this idea :)<strong>@Pras</strong>, external will only inform the SE bots that the target page pointed to by the link is an exernal domain page. This may sound redundant as the SE bots can anyway get this information from the href value. Unless, some search engine spiders are specifically programmed to check for this word, I don't see any other implication here. @Lax, it’s still a mystery… I actually do not bold keywords, but my important lines or phrases in the post.

I think bold facing keywords (< b tag) does not have any effects on SEO although some SEO guys have pointed out the importance of strong tags (<strong) tags.

Nice post and I am looking forward to the next part about Optimizing keywords.

Anyway, Ajith I recently read an article regarding how important the Page Rank is to an Entertainment Blog. It's because we are always on a "breaking" news post. The higher the Page rank, the more we have the chance of getting the top spot of the search engine. I'm a bit surprised with the Bolding of the title. Nice!

Use of keywords extensively within a page and in all possible areas (headings, titles, urls, links, anchor text, etc...) is super important. I have noticed that the pages which I have spent time optimizing are indeed targeting their keywords better than other pages.As for your advice on using keywords several times in bold, I haven't actually done this. I usually stick to 1-2 times. And I might also place it in emphasis tags. I also have never 'self-linked', however, I find that a lot of people do use this tactic.Great tool.<abbr><em>Shirley's last blog post... <a href="http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/google-adsense-vs-affiliate-marketing-programs/" rel="nofollow">Google AdSense vs. Affiliate Marketing Programs</a></em></abbr> Nice writeup.
