We all know it's good practice to put in-context keywordsinto page titles, meta tags and alt tags. But here are a few places you may not have thought about. 1. Tables - You're most likely familiar with what a table tag looks like. They generally look like this <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0"> or some variation, right? There are actually two areas within a table tag that keywords can be applied to. The table ID and Summary. A table tag written in this manner will look more like this <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" id="Accommodation Rates" summary="A breakdown of rates for Accommodations at Estancias Los Potreros">. 2. File Names - HTML, images, CSS files, php scripts, cgi scripts, asp scripts, java apps, video clips, sound bites, and every file you use to create your web site can be named using keywords that apply to web site content. Making sure these titles also apply to purpose of file itself is also very important, especially if file type can be indexed by search engine bots, like php and flash. If name of file has very little to do with what file contains, it will have little to no affect on your keyword density. 3. Reference Tags - A normal reference tag looks like this <a href="http://www.ride-americas.com">. A title can be added to this tag making it look like this <a href="http://www.ride-americas.com" title="Horseback Riding Vacations in Argentina">. This can also be applied to mailto: reference tags. Because this text will be seen by web vistors when they hover their mouse over link, it's good practice to keep it relevant and to-the-point. Never sacrifice user-friendliness
