Here are your keywords from a sample post on your site: <code> <meta name="description" content="Everytime I tell people that Green Day are punk for kids whose balls haven't dropped yet, I am assaulted with kicked shins, whining and cries of But what about" /> <meta name="keywords" content="21st century breakdown,21st century breakdown review,billy joe,green day,green day new album review,green day peacemaker,jordan stiva review" /> </code> You see that you've setup all in one SEO to use the first sentences from your blog post as your meta description. This is the description the search engine uses as the text in the search rankings below the linked title. You need to use the main keyword phrases in the first 3 sentences of your posts. I usually synopsize what the post is about in those sentences. The "keywords" meta were generated from tags and those carry little if any weight with search engines. You can see from the description above that the only keywords you got in were "green day" and you completely missed the name of the album and "review". Keywords are just for linking, they're for titles, descriptions, URL's, filenames, alt text for pictures, etc. pay better attention to the keyword you use in the first 3 sentences of every post.

Very interesting read. I've currently started up my own website and am working as an online copywriter. As an online copywriter I'm working with many blogs, creating lots of links between them and constantly linking to the main site. We are 3rd for our two main keywords in google, but trying to push off the other two is proving quite difficult. We only started the blogging SEO around a month or two ago though, I add around 12 blogs per day (over 20 different blogs). Do you think this will pay off in the end? Also, I've recently started bolding links and a few keywords. Does this help? On another note, if you could possibly take a look at my new website and give me any hints? <a>The Music Mag</a> Thank you. Very interesting read.

Contact Wordtracker to see if they do this, I know that they collect data for UK, and some other European countries - maybe data is available for India now.
