Search Engines: Scour Pays You to Improve Search Results

Scour has since relaunched in early 2008, as a metasearch engine combining the three most used

search engines: Google, Yahoo and Live Search. They plan to reward users with a certain point value for each search conducted through the Scour Tool bar. Once users have accumulated a certain amount of points they can be redeemed for cash.[1]

Involved with the preparation of your content is analyzing the keyword(s) for your given industry. Just putting Keywords in the keywords meta tag will get you no where without those Keywords existing in your content. This is known as Keyword Density, basically the more often you're keywords the more relevant your content is for the searcher in the eyes of a search engine. Keep in mind an ideal density is around 3.5% per word in you phrase. When writing your Search Engine Optimized content don't forget about the end user. If you can't get your keyword densities bang on, then don't worry about it. I prefer to have a lower density but higher quality content for the end user, than having spammy content and a lower conversion rate. The end goal is still to convert your visitors to your products, services, or whatever your goal may be. Users, unlike search engines, are not interested in Keyword Density so beware of keyword spam. And a final note on Content for this introduction is that it is advisable to constantly update your content. The longer your content goes without updates, the staler the content gets, and the lower your search engine positioning will drop. However with enough Link Building this can be negated.
