I have a website for hosting my "Responsive Pagination" jQuery Plugin. As you imagine these pages have a lot of code blocks showing how to use different parts of my plugin. Now that my site has been online a couple of weeks I want to work hard to increase my page rank because I'm a few pages back even when searching for multiple directly relevant terms.
When looking at my "Content Keywords" section of Webmaster Tools, I see that most of my keywords are being pulled out of my code snippets, which are words that will likely never be searched:
(pagination occurrence count is 26, the rest are 10 or less)
Out of these words, only a few (pagination, responsive, dynamic, jquery, plugin) are relevant to the content as a whole. Yet since I use code example so much a lot of them are being pushed down.
Can I block Google from using these words as my keywords? Since I'd just be blocking some and not increasing others would it have any positive effect or just lose some potential search terms?
