About the body text in your webpages

What is body text?
Body text is the written text that is seen on the webpage. Body text used in the HTML source code and inserted within the …. tags which appears just after the …. tag.

How do search engines look at body text?
Search Engine secret: Many search engines give importance to keywords and text found in the body of the text in the beginning of the page. The assumption being the text in the beginning of the webpage is more significant/relevant than the text at the end of the webpage. Some search engines also use it as part of the description about the website.Body text design tips: Include in the beginning of the body text of your website, words or phrases that are associated with identifying a website like yours. As the beginning of the first sentence may also appear as description for your website in search engine results, it makes sense to write it to paraphrase about the website.Example of body text beginning: Dream Submit reaches your website far and near over the Whole World Wide Web……

What if there is no text in the beginning of the website?
If the website page has no text in the beginning of the document, but has an image or a shock wave file, etc., then try to use text next to it or just after the image and hope the search engine would still index it.
