I think I "hijacked" a posting...sorry about that if so--still learning how the forum works.
OK--from what I can piece together from reading numerous posts about SEOs/renaming pages ("retrofitting" in my case, since I've already published), this is the procedure:
- Open web page(s) in BV,
- "Save page as...",
- (This step is the one I need some very specific guidance on.) Add the keyword(s) to the name, e.g., index.professional-organizer/household-spaces_paper-control_home-offices.bvp (not html), with appropriate keywords for each page vs. simply repeating the same set for every page name. (Here's where confusion reigns for me... is this the place to add keywords, or in the "title" box of page properties, or BOTH?)
- (Save page and) publish
- Delete old page(s) from cPanel
- IMPORTANT!! Must one also add these same (page-appropriate) keywords to each of the navigation button properties, i.e., make the navigation button links identical to the page names?
- Is there any reason to add keywords to contact/ success pages if they contain no real "content" aside from the form and a "thank you" remark?
Everything is working quite well on my website at the moment, and I'm very concerned about fouling it up somehow with this keyword addition business... This seems a rather complex topic, but I perceive its major importance for getting a site on the road to recognition.
Many thanks to all who have contributed their tidbits of experience and understanding--it's of
huge significance to those of us who are not "tech savvy."
