Stats from Google

[Marty Knapp]

I do some SEO and for those of you with web sites, one of the best 
things you can do to help Revolution rate well with Google is to use 
*descriptive* text links from your web site to the RunRev web site. The 
big question is what do people enter into a Google search when they're 
looking for this type of product. It may not be "Revolution" at all. 
Once you know what people actually type, using those keywords in the 
anchor text of your link will be the most beneficial. The best case 
scenario is when a topically-related web site (in this case, software 
development) places a one-way, keyword-rich text link to another site 
(runrev.com). When all three match, you've done your best. Graphic links 
are not of much value from an SEO perspective.

Perhaps if someone from Runtime could let us know which keywords it's 
wanting to be ranked well for, those of us with web sites can use those 
keywords in our links to them. The home page of their web site does not 
appear to have a keyword meta tag (?)

I'll poke around a bit in Wordtracker (a keyword research service) and 
see what I can find as well.
