Google doesn't just look for one keyword anymore: What does this mean and imply practically?

[Min George]

I just read somewhere that Google is not looking for just one keyword anymore. Is it that I must have more than one keyword in my content to rank on Google? What is the implication of Google not looking for one keyword anymore?

Nowadays, having a particular phrase repeated over and over again as keyword doesn't work. Google understands context and meaning no rather than keywords.

Absolutely. Google no longer searches for just one word; it looks at the overall meaning of what you write. This means you need to use multiple words relevant to your topic to convey your message clearly. The result is that if you write meaningful and useful content for the reader you'll easily rank higher. Even without memorizing a single word.

You are correct entirely. Repeating keywords unnecessarily now can be regarded by the web crawlers as low quality contents and would cause your ranking to drop.

I have found that technique of repeating words loses reputation of your website in front of the systems. You should write quality content first to rank high without using old tricks that make you look fake.

Google never looked keywords only for ranking, there are multiple factors that determine ranking, keywords are one, and other are backlinks,content originality, etc.

I play Google by combining keywords and backlinks to stay top. Keywords alone not enough to carry me, I have to find strong links to promote my name and get enough traffic to the website.

I think it just look for overall meaning and put it there ,it doesn't really look for one work its juts doing a whole thing

i think You still need keyword in Google honestly ,they still look into keyword,I don't think Google actually ignore keyword,they still look at keyword

It will search for more keywords, making it more accurate when searching for a website, information, etc., that you need to find or search for.
