SEO Lessons – Search Engines and Stop Words

Writing with SEO in mind can be confusing. Following my lessons will help you to learn about content and SEO. You may already be aware that there are many words search engines ignore. I am talking about stop words. Stop words are words that have no meaning, or words that have an ambiguous meaning, and which are therefore hard to interpret.

Some search engines will completely ignore stop words in order to crawl faster and to avoid confusion as of what a site is all about. As part of your keyword research it is important to know what stop words are, as they can dilute the potential of your keywords in search queries significantly.

We all understand the importance of keywords when writing content for our blogs and websites, but if we want to show up on the first page of a search engine we really have to narrow down the focus on SEO, and wisely choose only relevant keywords for our niche.

So how does it work? Can you use software? You can use stop words naturally in the content of the text or body of your article, if you don’t use them your site will look unnatural. You do not need any software, but I have made a list of stop words below for you to review. You just have to avoid these words close to keywords. Think about locations such as anchor texts, meta titles, meta keywords, and links. If you follow my advice you will increase visibility in the search engines.
