Over the last couple of days we learned of some new Google changes. It has been years since Google has rolled out some new search engine changes. Some of them are exciting and some, well blah.
1. Page Load time will affect your ranking - So, this is pretty interesting all along it didn’t seem to matter a whole lot. Your page load times, if they were really slow were annoying to your visitors, but wasn’t as impacting on the search engines. Now all that changes. I have a few areas that this is a serious concern, guess what I will be working on in Q1? (more…)

Not sure who out there is not aware of this, but yes my friends it’s been true for a long while now. I guess it’s a slow day in SEO, for Google to have to make a special point about their not including the Keywords Meta within their algo.
So, for those of you who have been under a rock for these last 6 years or so, Google ignores your keywords meta tag! There you have it news you can and should use!
**I have to confirm this for sure, but I was under the impression this is NOT the case for international search engines. From what I understood from Vanessa Fox and others in Seattle this passed June, the Keywords Meta is seen and sometimes recognized within other search engines from around the globe. I think it just isn’t that bad a practice to include a few 2-4 relevant keywords in that country specific language within your Keywords Meta. Certainly couldn’t hurt! If anyone can debunk this – please let me know!
