List of stop words in SEO- Search Engine Optimization

Multiple numbers of stop words in SEO

Stop words in SEO are such specific words that are separated before or after processing of natural language data (text). For SEO objectives, these are notably traditional words that most search engines skip over to save space in their databases and to speed up the process of crawling/indexing the web page.

How stop words can hurt your SEO?

Stop words in SEO are filtered words that can obstruct your SEO efforts, especially if used repeatedly in your site’s Titles. They simply waste valuable space, which is very limited in certain areas due to truncation in search engine results.

Areas to explicitly bypass the use of stops words (if you must shorten things up) include:

• Page title tags
• Webpage URLs
• Meta descriptions (as much as possible without reducing readability)
• Image Alt text (wherever possible)
