That's how a
search engine
'UNDERSTANDS'
what a page
is about.

SURPRISED?

devours every word you write?
WHY?…
Gives your content her
COMPLETE attention?
Wouldn’t that be nice…
😂
78% of your readers
scan any new page
they come across…
FACT
… and those who
do take time to read
are only reading
less than 30% of it.

Keywords MATTER to
SEARCH ENGINES…
because keywords
MATTER to PEOPLE.
