Comment tag optimization


Using Keywords in comments & placing comment tag near body opening tag (<body> ) will improve your ranking slightly - Caution : Don't spam it

What is HTML comment tag -

Html comment tag is used to comment on HTML code & mark it up for easy understanding .

Syntax - <!--Your comments here -->

This tag can be placed anywhere on your page - inside the head section or inside body section .

For the purpose of improving keyword relevancy you can place comment tag in the body of your web page ,ie ( between <body > </ body > )

 

e.g. : <!--starting of navigation or adsense code starts here -->

The text placed inside the comment tag is not visible in the browser .So comment tags became a tool to spam search engines , this made search engines to reduce the importance of comment tags .

If you write a comment tag keeping in mind that the real purpose of comment tag is to increase the readability of html code ( earlier days the html pages were hard coded using notepad ) to avoid confusion . But now so many WYSIWG ( What you See is WHat you Get ) Html editors available , but still comment tags are used for marking begriming& ending of navigation code or some Java scripts etc ..

Comment tags are very useful if you have graphic rich or no text page to optimize . In such cases you can depend on Comment tag & Image alt Tags for making your page relevant to targeted keyword by including that keyword in your comment or Image ALT .

You can use comment tag to mark sections of your web page , & if it can be justified you can add your important keywords in comment .

<!--blue widget product navigation ends here-->

</body></head></html>
