I missed this comment — sorry about that.

Not ridiculous at all. You need to decide what you want them to be. What SINGLE action do you want visitors to take? Do you want them to sign up for your newsletter? Do you want them to click through to your affiliate offer? Do you want them to buy your product?

Based on that, think about your searcher. What keywords are the best match for the outcome that you want?

In your case, you might want to look at the google keyword tool and see what people are searching for.

A quick look shows….

dog pictures
funny dog pictures
cut dog pictures
bulldog pictures
dog portraits
dog art

I know that “dogs” is part of it, but that is too broad. Something like “dog art” maybe, or “custom dog art”? How to I decide?

Joe — I have not looked at the H1/H2 handling in Firepow in about 6 months. Andrew released a plugin that does the right thing. Recommend that you use that.

I am not sure what you mean by “hidden”

Make sure your keywords are in your heading (H1) tags

if you are using the h1 tag in firepow its hidden along with the h2? is this ok?

I sort of forgot about this site — reviving the case study is a great idea.

good SEO is when You create pages with correct semantic, using h1 – h3, paragraphs, lists etc. Don’t write explicitly for search engines, write for Your visitors. If the can get a clear view on WHAT the page is about looking at the title, the description (wich will show up in searchengines), and then using the h1 – h3, everyone have done what they can. Then it’s all up to the “off-page”, wich SHOULD be built naturally 🙂

When I first started in Internet Marketing, I spent countless hours worrying about SEO details that do not matter for most of us. I will never get those hours back, but hopefully I can save some new people some time and energy.

Why don’t more people listen to this advice? Just what you teach here will get most people to the front page of Google.
