Do spiders read FP "Comments"?

's Computer Specifications

Suppose my site is about advertising boat charters for fishing in Florida.
Would the search engines like it if I were to copy and paste the same FP
“Comment” on every page of the whole site with a repeated identical list of
key words such as “fishing, boats, barracuda, tuna, marlin, rods, Florida,
sea” ?
The site visitor will not see these but the search engine spiders will.
Stupid idea??
Thanks
Lochi

No. Use the Keyword meta tag and make sure you page has visible content to match the keywords.

Hi Lochi,

The search engines will ignore it, so it won't hurt or help you. Get your
page looking something like this,
<title>Fishing Charters In Florida</title>
<meta name="description" content="Fishing charters in Florida....about 10
words giving users a good reason to click">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Fishing Charters In Florida</h1>
etc...

Repeat the key phrase a few times in your text. Then email everyone in your
area, tourist offices, chamber of commerce, restaurants, hotels etc and ask
to swap links. Then submit yourself to www.dmoz.org That should be enough to
get you ranked well - a lot of these type of sites are quite amateur so
competition shouldn't be too strong.

Thanx Guys!
I do not follow what Jon is saying, because I never look at the HTML view.
I simply do my whole site in "page view" and FP looks after the meta tag
stuff automatically. That right?

No. FrontPage does not look after the meta tags, apart from placing a
default title such as "New Page 1" in the title tags, and setting
language meta tags.

To use the GUI (and avoiding HTML/Code view) with the page open go to
File->Properties
In FP2003, on the General Tag, fill in Title, Page Description and
Keywords
In other versions use the Custom tag to Add meta tags in the User
Variables section for description and keywords, the title is the
General tag as for FP2003.
