Keyword Prominence
Posted on | March 20, 2010 | 3 Comments
Your keyword prominence is simply the placement of your keywords in your content. In seo, it is not only important to use certain keywords in your content but ensuring you have proper keyword prominence.
Typical seo practices will encourage you to include your keywords as often as you can without making your content difficult and un-natural to the reader. This is very true, but solid seo practices should also include the proper placement of those keywords in your sentences and paragraphs.
Seo keyword prominence is placing your keywords close to the beginning of sentences and paragraphs. As with adding your keywords often but retaining the readability of your content, simply placing your keywords at the beginning of your content will not work. Your keyword prominence must fit in your content making sense to the reader and easily flow with the rest of the containing content.
Some seo practices recommend the usage of bulleted lists containing your keywords to further increase your keyword prominence. Of course once again, the list needs to fit with the rest of your content otherwise your seo efforts will be in vain.
A keyword prominent list may look something like the following.
- Keyword prominence increases your seo value
- Seo practices include proper keyword prominence
- Your keyword prominence is the placement of your keywords in your content
- Using proper keyword prominence is a good seo practice
Clearly the list above does not entirely fit into the rest of this content, but I think you can get the idea of using your keywords in lists to increase your keyword prominence.
In Short
A solid seo practice called keyword prominence is basically placing your keywords near or at the beginning of titles, sentences, and paragraphs including bulleted lists.

Yes, far right column below the search feature you can subscribe to the rss feed. I regret to say that it has been a very long time since my last post. I have found it very time consuming to keep up with several blogs and various other web projects. I do however have plans updating the site with new articles and possibly recruiting some help for adding more content on a regular basis.
Thanks for the comment.
