1 Keyword in URL  First word is best, second is second best, etc.

2 Keyword in domain name Same as in page-name-with-hyphens
 
3 Keyword in title tag Keyword in Title tag - close to beginning title tag 10 - 60 characters, no special characters The Florida Update EVEN penalized for this, as part of the OOP. That was absurd, but effective.

4. Keyword in description meta tag Shows theme - less than 200 chars.(Was part of Google Florida OOP)
Google no longer relies upon this tag, but frequently uses it.

5.

5. Keyword in keyword metatag

Shows theme - less than 10 words.(Was part of Google Florida OOP) Every word in this tag MUST appear somewhere in the body.If not, it will be penalized for irrelevance.NO single word should appear more than twice.If not, it is considered spam. Google purportedly no longer values this tag, but others do.

6. Keyword density in body text
5 - 20% - (all keywords/ total words)
Some report topic sensitivity - the keyword spamming threshold varies with the topic?

7. Keyword in H1, H2 and H3  Use H1 font style
8. Keyword font size
9. Keyword proximity (for 2+ keywords)
10. Keyword phrase order
11. Keyword prominence (how early in page/tag)
