SEO Question: Ignore certain words in your blog
 

Anyone know a sufficient way to get google to ignore certain words that appear in your keyword density? I can't believe there isn't some sort of plugin in wordpress for this.. (or maybe I haven't found it yet)

For instance: You have a blog with 20 posts on your index page... since all posts were made in October, "October" ends up being near the top of your keyword density list... :uhoh

ATTN Baddog: Please don't charge me 500$/hour to answer this question... :disgust

Simple

<word rel="nofollow">October</word>

New HTML5

:thumbsup thx

LMFAO

You know it never ceases to amaze me the number of people who know that Google somehow has the genius to make the world's greatest most sophisticated search engine -- but yet concoct all manner of SEO theories based on the premise that Google are utterly and hopelessly fucktarded morons.

:1orglaugh

google. does that sound like an intelligent name to start with? lol.

Welcome to GFY. :1orglaugh

Appears in Google Webmaster Tools / keyword significance :uhoh ...

Why are you still here? ... :uhoh

Why do you want the word October on your site that many times? Remove it from the code.

If you really must show the dates, make png's for the overused words like "October".

It shows up per post, which it should, since it'll show surfers how often the site is updated

October 21st, October 22nd, etc

I asked this question before and I think you responded with the pic thing

I'd rather use the word rel in this case though

Surely, Google being Google, they would ignore (devalue) common words like months, days of the week, times, Etc. The majority of people that work at Google aren't mentally deficient.

Use a theme that doesn't name the month in posts. Or, wait until November.

Build a page with that code wrapping the entire page and see what happens, I don't think it will work like you hope.

It makes much more sense that if you DONT want a word overused on your site, you DONT put it on the site that many times.

Remove the posted_on php call in the theme, done deal.

Then why does Google being Google not ignore these words in Google webmaster tools?

avoid the dreaded october penalty.

What in God's name are you talking about? wtf does wrapping an entire page with that vs. JUST one word that appears about 20 times have to do with anything?


I want the dates to show for surfers... the word rel would be a much quicker fix than replacing all months with pics...

Google is fully aware of blog posts and dates attached to each. Google October, and you will only find 4,000,000 in which not 1 of them are blogs. If Google was going to rank everyone based on the use of the Month in the blog posts, there would be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000+ results on constant rotation. The fact that it shows up in your webmaster tools does not apply to the algo used in ranking your site based on Keyword Density.

You've got this figured out then, have at it.

So what would be the best option? Completely ignoring it or using the word-rel attribute anyway?

why bother man. it's not going to affect anything.

For starters, why not tell us about the word-rel attribute and what it means/does.

Man it's hilarious who's advice you've chosen to take and who you've chosen to ignore.

:uhoh :uhoh :uhoh :uhoh ??

There's been 3 options

majority - ignore it / doesn't matter

word-rel

picture replacement... (would be a bit tedious)

which one should I do?

My guess is if they think October is a recurring theme on your blog you better have a blog about October. Otherwise try writing some better content.

Ignore it, focus on your content, build your links, generate user interaction... Quality quality quality

Why do people get so caught up and waste time with things like this... Really.. It's not going to be an issue so just move on and focus on building more sites, pages, networks etc.

Three options? If you don't want the word "October" to occur so many times on your blog, then remove it. It's not rocket science.

what a fucking idiot.

if the word October is ranking too high in your keyword density, and the only time you are using it is for the date, the solution is pretty simple.

Add more text.

Don't delete the date function though, google picks up that your a blog and reads the date as an updated post. The date feature is beneficial

I just hang out and wait for the laughs to start when idiots ask obviously retarded questions... :2 cents:

Don?t forget to remove: Posted by, Comments and Tags
:2 cents: Keyword density is so yesterday.

I busted my ass trying to rank for "the" and "and" forever, to no avail. My keywords were stacked, whats up with that?

I think your lunch break is over... back to work faggot :thumbsup

I'm with redwhiteandblue, wait until November :) LMFAO

seo is cool dudes
