: How do I get google to see keywords on a one page web application site? I'm going to have to link to the web site to explain this, http://www.diagram.ly, it's a free service, so I hope this
I'm going to have to link to the web site to explain this, www.diagram.ly, it's a free service, so I hope this doesn't break advertising rules.
Basically, it's a one page web application, I don't want to create a web site for it. Some background text loads and if JavaScript is enabled, the web application itself then loads.
The problem is that Google only seems to be picking up the title of the page and the text on the footer, so the site only appear on Google search for very limited text (based on the title and meta description mostly).
I was hoping that search engines would pick up on the background text and index that. The text is factual, not keyword stuffed. Yahoo seems to pick up the text, just not Google.
Does anyone have any experience of how Google would view such a site and where I could put the text for a better result?
Edit I should mention that Google Webmaster Tools lists the site keywords as "Component, diagramly, feed, mxgraph, share and twitter". Basically the footer and little else.

One part of the ranking algorithm that Google uses is the number of pages on the site. Sites that are only one or two pages are harder to get ranked. I recommend you add a few more pages to the app. Maybe a how to page. Be sure that these pages are linked to from the html (not inserted by javascript).
Also, how many backlinks do you have to this page? You will need to get backlinks, especially on a one page site. When you get backlinks, use the anchor text of the backlink for keywords that you want to rank for.
Like your app, very cool. I do not know that there is much you can do to get a one page web application to rank highly in Google, but Google should be seeing the paragraphs of text that are in the HTML of the page.
For higher ranking I recommend writing an about page that serves marketing purposes, an in-depth about page that covers the technical side of things, and as many help pages as you can muster. One help page for each key word or phrase that include links to external resources and back to the application should make a real difference in your Google rankings.
