If the user want to short a grass he definitely type as "lawn mowers" in the search query, so if you use a keyword as a lawn mower this will inform both the users and SE that your site is about lawn mowers which is used to trim the grass :) The fact is that, in order to do a effective online business you want to satisfy both search engines and users because your keyword should tell what the site about is, so you want to concentrate on both search engine and users.

Unless the copy is engaging to the reader then the fact they arrived is meaningless. There are many ways you can optimise a site for search engines without obsessing on the written content. With regard to targetting Yahoo, they are less discerning about the quality of the links than Google and are infinitely easier to impress. unfortunately the traffic levels are not as exciting and so concentrate on Google is my advice.

I know what you mean about 'google' being used to mean all search engines. I think they have about 68% of all search. It's just a kind of lazy shorthand really. To be honest, I'm not a real expert on search engine optimisation. I only come at the subject from a copywriting perspective, and I've only ever looked at Google. Someone should write a killer post on the differences between SEO on Google, Yahoo and MSN. I know there are a lot of smaller search engines really coming through at the moment as well, such as Lexxe (www.lexxe.com). I'm not sure how they are different. But the algorithms must be different. So much about web publishing is about targeting niches, maybe we should all think more about targeting specific search engines, and getting traffic not from Google, but from the other 30% of search. That would be quite a big niche... I might research this and see what I can find. Thanks for visiting the blog and commenting.

When writing SEO, does one only take into account Google's habits? What about Yahoo? MSN? Is there any benefit of targeting Yahoo, without targeting Google?
