Does word order matter for SEO?
By Mike | June 18, 2007
Well the question was asked
Well, I’m a newbie to the website/blog world, so I wonder if I even know enough to know what questions to ask.
Does word order matter at all to SEO? Would Google see these three items differently?
1. Minneapolis MN real estate
2. real estate Minneapolis MN
3. estate Minneapolis real MN
etc…
Now first thing I want to make clear I am not nor do I claim to be an SEO expert. I do follow and read a lot about it as traffic from the left hand side of Google can be quite nice to have. MSN and Yahoo too.
I will say that one of the reasons I switched from using Bunny Tags to using the Ultimate Tag Warrior for my blog was the ability to set my title tags with SEO Title Tag.
It lets me make my title reader friendly and my title tag search engine friendly. From tests that I have done and tracked the closer to the beginning of your title tag that you get the main keyword the more weight Google gives it.
For example before I added the UTW and was able to edit the title tag I would give some thought to the actual blog post title and would use something like “Askimet - Why should I use it” versus “Why should I use Askimet” when I wanted to rank for the term Askimet.
Now I can use one for the title tag and one for the title of the post. So my feeling is that for the title tag the order does matter at least for Google which is what I primarily track for my ratings.

Where can I learn more about tags? I am using a WordPress site hosted by http://www.famousagents.com. It does allow me to put a a title on the top of the post as well as a different title tag. I am using whatever the default setup is for tagging. Is UTW something that I plug into my system or something that I subscribe to?
