Hi,
Recently I tested my own and other C5 sites I have made in a SEO tester based in NZ.http://keaseo.co.nz/
My score was pretty bad despite me optimising my site with Keywords and articles etc etc. (I don't have many backlinks)
But the strangest thing was the keywords that came up as optimised in my site.
It was basically html and css tags and addons like menu, padding, slider, position etc etc. Now to the best of my knowledge these words do not appear on my website anywhere, except in the dashboard, on the database maybe. They dont even appear in my .php docs.
I tried other non C5 sites (and admittedly sites I hadnt built) and these words did not appear.
I wonder if anyone could test this out http://keaseo.co.nz/
and perhaps offer some explanation for it. I am confused.

mmm good call, of course – cheers
OK, it seems that there is invalid markup. But I'm confused as when I run it through a validator and then html tidy it tidies up the html with a lot of extraneous stuff and it changes the markup of some Concrete tags.
For instance this:
becomes this:
Is this right, btw even doing html tidy on all my pages doesnt solve the keyword problem.
I admit I'm a self taught html person from a design background and my mark-up is probably pretty crappy, but I really need to sort this out.
What do you advise as the next step?

For instance this:
<link href="<?=$this->getThemePath()?>/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
becomes this:
<link href="%3C?=$this-%3EgetThemePath()?%3E/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Does your original code render correctly and have keywords reported correctly?
If so, stick with that?

I don't really think this is an issue of your site- it is of theirs. for example, frontslider appears as a keyword 3 times based on their report. From my quick look it appears 3 times via inline javascript- my guess would be they aren't stripping all the tags correctly. Just tried with a plain yogurt site and had some of the same issues.
OK That is interesting cheers for that. I'm going to contact them. The other thing though is if you run other websites through it it doesn't do this and the keywords are listed correctly.
That's why I wondered if it was a Concrete thing...

seehttp://keaseo.co.nz/seo/reddit.com... theres keywords like img margin- its not just c5
A lot of sites seem to have no trouble, but some others, and well coded ones too, do.
Soo, I think I will send them an email and ask them about it. Theres no point having a site with keywords like menu and padding. (unless your a restaurant with comfortable chairs)

First thing I would so is check my theme, make sure all the tags in that header are formatted/closed properly.
