@tracknutSep 23.2009 — Interesting list. What do the percentages mean, and who are they "influencing"?

Thanks

@andr105Sep 23.2009 — So, as I can understand, the most effective are those keywords which are used in the Title Tag and in the Root Domain Name. Am I right? Oh, and thanks for the info, it can be useful for me!

@aj_nscSep 23.2009 — I agree with tracknut, interesting list, makes sense, but holds no water until you can cite something or tell us what the percentages mean/how you got the numbers.

@RegDCPOct 21.2009 — Good list.... I would move the 3&#12289;Keyword Use in the Root Domain Name (e.g. keyword.com)&#12288;(60&#37? up to the #1 spot.

@ssystemsOct 23.2009 — What was the benchmark used for the influence percentages?

@opifexOct 24.2009 — Might want to consider the source of the drivel (referenced a couple of times in the list posted)...

Simply amazing how many times "keyword" appears when "content" doesn't make the list, but then they aren't an "organic SEO" company.

Success!
