While I’m at it, I might as well also over extend “x ways to…” 
.
In the “Focus Pages” to do, I wrote
Sprinkle your keywords like seasoning – lightly.
At the time I thought the metaphor was ripe for overextension. So here we go…
- Sprinkling seasonings lightly can make your dish tastier for the critics (search engines).
- A mixture of seasonings that goes well together can be tastier than putting in more of a single seasoning.
- Dumping the seasonings in with too heavy a hand can give your consumers (visitors, and maybe search engines as well) indigestion.
- Make sure your seasonings are well stirred throughout the dish.
- Who wants a five course meal all the same? Use differing, but complementary, seasonings on different courses (pages).
- Ensure the seasonings you use are palatable (understandable), to your consumers. (Are we overextending yet
) - Don’t add poison. (Well, duh!)
- There’s a time and place for just dumping random seasonings together to see what they do but you don’t serve that experiment up to guests to your home(page). Not unless you really wanted to discourage them from coming back anyway.
- Make sure your seasonings have not passed their use by date.
- Make sure every group that likes the seasonings you’ve used knows that you use them and, hopefully, recommends you to their members. (We must be by now, surely )
- Sometimes it is better to grow your own seasonings. Sometimes you should use the same as everybody else. It takes experience to know which is best in a particular situation.
Have I missed any?
