    Keyword positioning

    How much will keyword positioning affect your ranking?

    Take for example, "rays-photography-resources." If we are optimising for the keywords "photography resources", which would be better:

    1) rays-photography-resources
    2) photography-resources-online

    ... in terms of heading tags, anchor text, alt text, title text etc.

    Is it important that the keywords being optimized for are at the start, as in option 2 above? Or doesn't it matter where they appear, so long as they are there?

    I'm talking purely from an search engine point of view, not a human one.

    Also, would "photography-resources" be better than all of the above because this is 100% keywords. Or doesn't that really matter, beyond one or two extra non-keywords?

    Cheers,

    Richard.

    #2 keyword position, especially in things like your title, can make a difference so #2. For your domain though it'll be less of an issue (if one at all).

    photography-resources by itself would be better for the reason you surmised.
