To optimize a website for free traffic from major search engines such as; Google, Yahoo, and MSN, it is very important to have content on your website, and pages with your website, that search engines will recognize as relevant.

When writing content it is important to not only consider the human visitors that will read the text, it is also very important to consider the bots and spiders, like GoogleBot.

Search engine bots and spiders will visit and crawl your website to index the content and make a calculated determination of the "perceived relevance."

Establishing relevancy of keywords and keyword phrases using the content is only one important factor of search engine optimization that should be considered when optimizing a website.

Please Note: Using the content within a website to establish relevancy is very much like using content from other websites and articles. It is important to write optimized content using the same keywords and keyword phrases that are defined in the mega tag and the title tag of the web page that the content is within.

As I evaluate websites for internal search engine optimization factors, I often notice that webmasters try to define too many keyword and/or keyword phrases for homepage and other pages within the website. (This will cause poor keyword performance.)

Here are a few good things to consider when writing optimized content to help increase performance of keywords:

• When many keywords and keyword phrases need to be defined for a website it is important to have many pages with only a few keywords defined to each page.
  

• Use optimized content on each page that is relevant to the keywords that are defined for each page.

• Try to use the same keyword phrase from your title tag a few times while writing the content for the web page that are you optimizing, this will help to increase the "perceived relevancy."

• The same keyword phrases that are defined in the meta tag should be consider for use in the title tag and within the content of the web page, as well as the in the meta description text. (I would just like to note: Some webmasters use meta tags all the time, some do not.)

• Using anchor text within optimized content will help to increase keyword performance of the keywords that are hyperlinked as anchor text.

• Use anchor text to links to link to other pages within your website, and other websites, that are similar and relevant to the text in the hyperlink.
