Google Webmaster Keyword Significance.
-
In my google webmaster tools the most significant keyword google attaches to my site is word 'VAT' as in, Value Added Tax. Followed by Basket.
I can see why this is, as the word VAT and Basket is on every product page, but it really is not a keyword I want to target.
Does this have any negative effect on other keywords I am targeting? What should I do about this?

On a forum site I have, "post" is one of my most common words. My personal opinion is that I wouldn't worry about it too much as long as some of the other stuff IS on target, and you're also not seeing signs that your site is hacked (it is time to get worried if you see pharma words as significant keywords).

Making the phrase "inc VAT" into an image that still looks just the same but isn't indexed via the text search would make it go away. But if every price includes VAT, why don't you just say, "All prices include VAT," and be done with it?
-
My newbie thought is it's fine to have VAT on every page, but if webmaster tools thinks that your site is about VATs so there needs to be more content to tell google otherwise. The only way to tell google what your site is about is through the content.
EGOL - how did I do

Hello,
I can't turn the VAT into an image, that makes no sense. I have to mention the VAT on each product, however I dont want it to focus on it as a keyword.
What I mean is, will this effect other keywords I am targeting?
Thanks.

It sounds like you are talkin' more about taxes than about your products.

That part of Google's webmaster tools is a bit crude, but if you want to get rid of that bit of text (as it's not helping you anyways) you could turn it into an inline image next to the price.

How do you determine whether to pursue keywords suggested by Google Instant?
I have heard that a good source of keyword suggestions is looking at what pops up as suggestions when you start typing into Google. My question is how do you know if it is worth your time to create content around those suggestions? If you enter these suggestions into Google's Keyword Tool, often there is no data on search volume.

Am I Doomed with Low Volume Keywords?
I've been pursuing an internet startup for over a year now. We've figured a lot of things out along the way and even managed to start making some modest revenue ~$3,000/month. We're just now starting to dig into SEO and I'm realizing that most of our keywords aren't very high volume. The best have 1,000 local searches per month (exact match) with most being a couple hundred local searches. I'm worried that I've picked a market that's too small, but I don't have the SEO experience to know if this is normal or not. Most of my keywords are rated 'highly competitive' and also are stacked with CPC ads upon Google search. I'd love to know what others' experience with keyword volume is and if I'm just overreacting on limited knowledge. Thanks!
