Working on the web for years I've seen the changes in search engine protocol. Additional point to your article would be the alt="" tags on images. This is a great place to slip in code for the spiders to read. As for the "title" tag put a couple sentences completely fleshing out your information similar to the metadiscription. Even if your visitors are unable to read the text the spiders will be able to. In the viewable area I always include phone numbers for my clients who accept phone calls. Including a description of the service area is good as well but be specific. One last point about having good search results. Having links leading to other sites and links on other sites leading to yours raises the relevancy of your site in the rankings. Not only can you drive traffic to your site but the search engines equate these links to indicate value on your site. Good stuff.

Yes, for those who are on top of what's happening with SEO and search engines, keywords may be losing some of their perceived import. For those who want to see Caffeine, which is a project, not a release, it's here http://www2.sandbox.google.com/. Writers, bloggers and small web owners are bombarded with advice revolving around the mystique of keywords. We hope to dispel some of that and your observations really helped! mkp Thanks, John, for the comment and for reading the article.

As the unveiling of Google's new search engine yesterday shows, which has been dubbed "Caffeine," Google has pretty clearly de-emphasized keyword density and keyword stuffing. You make a good point about the long tail of search queries though. I have found that optimizing for very niche, specialized keywords can be a boon. Very true, but this is a little out dated.
