Keyword
A keyword in an internet search is one of the words used to find matching pages. It was popularized during the early days of internet search as it was not possible to ask plaintext questions and find the desired sites. Searches gave the best results if only a few key words were chosen and searched for. These "keywords" captured the essence of the topic in question and were likely to be on all sites containing relevant information. Keywords are still used today and many modern search engines have methods for determining which words in a search string are important and ought to be treated as keywords. Common words like articles (a, an, the) and conjunctions (and, or, but) are not treated as keywords because it is inefficient to do so. Almost every site on the internet has the article the and it makes no sense to search for it. A Keyworder is a person who assigns these search terms. visit our site at
