Keywords are important — everybody knows that. But just how important are they, really, for SEO folks like us?
- Well, they are so important that Google introduced encrypted search in 2011, just to render life more difficult for all of us.
- Google has embraced a semantic approach
to content in recent years, and even more so after the Hummingbird update — in fact, concepts and intents are considered more important than keywords. - Google now displays in bold search queries answers to specific questions in the SERPs — one of the reasons being that keywords alone carry little significance.
