If I use multiple versions of a phrase, would it be seen as keyword spam?

HVR asks: "I noticed that, for example Texas widget and widget Texas, return different results. I think the gist is the same but the results were different. Id like to include both terms/phrases on my page but wouldnt that be considered keyword spamming?"

Can you please add captions or clean up the automated captions? I couldn't make sense of the video with the automated captions.

We've added human-created captions to the video, so it should be understandable now.

Good video. Keep adding more videos please. Advice: don't write your content for the search engines, write good content for your users!

Your "plumber" example is poor. The fact is (as you know well) all those variations of "plumbers" are typed in very often in each case. This is why it is hard for these local business to rank well for all a variations without making their copy and meta tags look like SEO crap.

As I understood what Matt was saying in another video ... he stated clearly that Google does not use meta keywords. If ubstudens meant just that he want to repeat a word in content itself, this is a bad habit and should not be done anyway. Like you said, create good content, if words and phrases repeat within, thats natural and in anyway acceptable.

If you were replying to UBSTUDENTS I believe he didn't mean metakeywords. He was mentioning keywords in the content . And google does use them but as many times mentioned instead of doing calculations how many times you used a word on a page just create good content and make people aware of it.

as matt said in another video

... GOOGLE DOES NOT USE KEYWORDS!

Spend your time on good content instead of keywords. Make your site worth to return for.

And also work on being relevant.

Cooperate, do charity work, ... in other words take care that the people talk about you, and if they do, make it attractive that they link or visit your site.

Also note that Google does not use the meta keywords tag at all, Google ignores that completely.
