A High Rankings Forums member asks if the order of keywords matters in site copy. Of course, the answer to this is yes. After all, if you create content that doesn't read well for your visitors, they won't stay on the site long enough to purchase, or let alone understand, what you're trying to sell.

At the end of the day, when it comes down to copy, if you're unsure, do some keyword research to validate what people are searching for.

Forum discussion continues at High Rankings Forums.
