Webmaster Tools Content Keywords & Meta Tagging

[s_EOgi_Bear]

In Webmaster tools , Content keywords give an indication of what Google thinks a site is about.

This site is a health site ( online shopping - health supplements )  - but one of the terms it thinks the site is about is "Dollar" . I'm guessing this is because on every page there is Currency Selection from multiple currencies.

How do I tell Google that this part of the page is nothing to do with what my site is about?

Thanks for your reply in advance!

Hi Marty,

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It doesn't mean that Google thinks your website is all about dollars or that you'll start ranking for dollar-related keywords. It's just a list of the most common words Google found on your site, and in my experience, it's not a very useful feature in Webmaster Tools.

There's also a "Significance" bar next to each keyword. I would bet that "dollar" might have a lot of occurrences on your site, but Google has assigned a low significance to it.

If you really want to get into analyzing the content on your site, you might want to look at something like the the Moz Page Grader (https://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader) or Scribe (http://scribecontent.com/).

Webmaster Tools isn't telling you that it thinks your website is about Dollars, its telling you that it sees that mentioned often on your site.  You really don't need to fix anything, but perhaps adding more content about your target keyword will help push that down a bit.  Are you saying something costs "88 Dollars" all over your website or actually using a $?

If its the latter, that would be very interesting.  If its the former, remove dollar and use $ instead.  Cheers!
