How many webmasters even know about that tag? 1% perhaps.

Then other people will start searching for that name, and you'll rank decent because nobody else is using that name for anything. Barring that, you have to think of a juxtaposition of concepts that nobody else is thinking of.

To bad we all are using these techinques ourselfs, actually we are forced to do it since others would have the edge if we didn´t.... sad but true. <strong>Answer:</strong> Yeah Marcus, the competition forces everybody to find and employ the most sophisticated methods to improve rankings. But as it is now, I don't think this will end up very well. When too many people use SEO, the quality of the organic results will drop even more than it has done so far. This is so true!
