So none of the SEOs out there are publishing real SEO tips anymore? Well, here’s a small one to keep in mind that can make you a wee bit more competitive while maintaining a decent level of decorum in the keyword spamming department. I call it “Search box suggestion keyword spam” and it is dripping with plausible deniability so Matt shouldn’t have any issue with it.

Got a search box on your site? Okay, chances are it’s top right or at least close to the top of the page. It has alt text, of course (right?). It has a little button logo or click spot, which is of course properly named with a keywordy label, and of course keywordy alt text, right?

Well, does it also have a line of “example” keywords to show your visitors how to use it? Is that example readable text? Is it keyword rich? Why not? For one example, click here.
