Keywords

These are descriptive phrases and words separated by commas attached to your pages. You should focus more on using phrases because that is usually how people enter keywords when they do a search for a web site. To be considered search engine friendly, you should not have more than 875 characters in your keywords and you should not repeat any word more than three times.

Description

This is a description of your site that is attached to your pages. Use descriptive words and avoid filler words such as the, at, in, etc... Your description can be up to 150 characters long to considered to be search engine friendly.

Title

Your title should be descriptive and contain the keywords you think are most important. Choose your titles carefully! Search engines use these to index your site. For example, titling your page "Kim LaRocca" will not bring you a lot of traffic. However, a title like "Kim LaRocca - Palm Beach County Florida Real Estate" would serve you much better. When choosing your website's title, ask yourself: what is my product and who is it for?
