      Hi All,

      Where is the best place to position the keyword / keyphrase within a heading?

      i.e. for keyphrase Red Shoes Which of the below would yield better SEO results whilst ensuring readability to us humans.

      Latest fashions in red shoes.
      or

      Red shoes at an affordable price.

      Thanks Mark

        Hi Mark

        All things being equal, the closer to the beggining of the tag your KW are, the better in terms of SEO.

        Now, remember that the title has to make sense, because it and the description tag of your page appear in SERPs. Try to write them so that the user is enticed to click on your SERP entry.

          I would run with the second one ..

          But from there, you could also go with things like:
