The most important ' component ' of a web page, if it concerns to come high in the search engines, are the so-called keywords. A keyword is a word (or range of words) where people are looking for in the search engines. If people want to learn more about horses then they type in the search engine e.g. "horses". If someone wants to learn more concerning web hosting they type "web hosting". Therefore both "horses", and "web hosting" are keywords.

It is very important that you know which keywords are important for your Internet site. Thereby it is not important which keywords you yourself find important, but which keywords potential visitors will type into the search box when they are in search for information which is on your site to find.
Even afterwards take the time to think about concerning the keywords: "what would an average person type into the search engines box?". Make a list of all these keywords.

For example:

- concours - feeding - hippiqué - horse

- horses - horse-riding - horse-training - jump - rider - riding school

After you have considered as many relevant terms as possible it is also important effectively to know how many people search on your keywords.
