What has remain unchanged from the beginning is the hunt for “Keywords”. Keywords are still playing vital role in SEO techniques. People search and search a lot, almost for every query they face in life. They put it in Google to find answers. These queries are SEO keywords. These can be exactly matched, broadly matched or long phrases. Google nowadays behaves more like human and this is what SEO’s job to identify how it behaves for targeted keywords. For example, by typing “apple” in google search box you will surely not see apple fruit sites ranking in search engines, but Apple company, Apple phones, Apple company wiki information, Apple company store etc. This is what search engine behavior. Keyword stuffing or keyword density is a Stone-age story. Now you need to use keywords more smartly for SEO benefits.
