SEO Quiz

Questions and answers

1.  What should be ideal keyword density? (select one answer)

   1. 1-3%
   2. 3-5%
   3. 5-7%
   4. 7-15%
   5. Depends on a page
   6. Any value will do
   7. What is keyword density?

Explanation: There is no “right” or “ideal” keyword density. In fact, any value will do, from 0% (no target keyword on a page) to 100% (page’s content consist of only one keyword). Keyword density was one of the major ranking factors in the dawn of search engine era, but now it plays no role in SEO.

2.  Which way of filling the META keywords tag is the best in terms of ranking? (select one answer)

   1. Any way will do
   2. Separate keywords with commas
   3. Separate keywords with spaces
   4. Separate keyword with spaces and phrases with commas
   5. Any way will do assuming you put in your target keywords
   6. Any way will do as long as you put no more than 10 keywords in it

Explanation:
There is no optimal way of filling the META keywords tag, because this tag is not important for ranking anymore. It doesn’t influence the rank of your website, so you can easily forget about it, or fill it any way you like since it is ignored anyway.

3.  Should you prefer underscores to dashes in filenames? (select one answer)

   1. Yup, underscores are better
   2. No, dashes are better
   3. No difference
   4. Some search engines prefer underscores, others prefer dashes

Explanation: Really, there is no difference. Search engines are capable of reading any filenames and they don’t prefer any of the word separation symbols to others in terms of ranking. Also, filenames have only a tiny impact on search engine rankings, so you can name them any way you want.
