I redesigned my site, it validates now, and tried to avoid any spammy techniques (I must admit a had a few good years with keyword repetition.) Unfortunately the "spammers" outrank me easily. They copied everything I use to do. They copy content over and over, use multiple sites with the same stuff and just varied keyword stuffing. Keyword stuffing is not dead. Duplicate content is not dead. Its all alive. And I am talking G here. I'll wait. G will also come to its senses "where I live". Well, I am in a very small market, with just a few competitors.

What happens is all the text gets highlighted. I think what Jennifer meant was that if you have hidden keyword text you'll be able to see it once it's highlighted - otherwise it was blending into the background of the page. And no, your keywords are not highglighted in a different color. (Unless you're using some SEO tool I'm not aware of - LOL.) Jennifer - you got me wondering about the light gray text agains a white background used in the footer of one of the site's I manage - it dropped off of Google's radar a few months ago after already gaining page rank. It'd be worth a try for a small tweak in the CSS file. Nick – CTRL A is the same as Edit…Select All. What happens is all the text gets highlighted.

Nick,

If you don’t have hidden text you will not see anything unusual when performing the CTL+A test.

Yahoo tends to place heavier emphasis on keyword density, so optimizing for Yahoo by adding keywords could cause you to lose ranking in Google. For example, if you type in "product liability attorney" in google, the site will be number 1. Type that same phrase in Yahoo and nowhere to be found. Well, it is about the 40th page. We are beginning to wonder if Yahoo favors those that pay to get in rather than those that submit their site for free. On the sites that I keep my keyword density on a particular page between 6-8.
