While looking at Google's cache of my site i noticed the keyword "seoph" on my heading is not highlighted. It seems to me that Google cannot read it the way it should be read as "seoph". Its probably because of the color formatting i made. What do you think?

I can see a remedy to that.
isulong <span style=”letter-spacing: -1000em”>seoph</span>s <!– followed by your colored letters –>s
So you get seoph as a complete word. Close proximity to Isulong. And still have the colored text letter for decorations. You will get the benefit of having isulong seoph in the H1, but still will not be highlighted in the cache since it has the -1000em letter spacing.
Now you owe me a nice sidebar backlink, hahaha. Joke lang, pero kung gusto mong tutuhanin, ok lang din. Nyahahaha. Keep up the good work!
maybe color is a factor. do you try changing it just a black color?
hello BENJ,
Let me try that one when i get home later.
Can i just put that style into my CSS file?
All your letters are seperated by font tags. Google can’t recognise it as a word if its broken up in this way. Use an image like seomoz are using on their site.
Color is not a factor at all here. Try to highlight the word yourself. As you will notice, you will skip the “o”. The code will separate letters when they are each a different color. This is what Google sees” <span style=”google_blue”>s</span><span style=”google_blue”>e</span><span style=”google_blue”>o</span><span style=”google_blue”>p</span><span style=”google_blue”>h</span>
The problem is not that they are colored, it is because they are different colors.
Hello Gio,
First of all Best of luck for the contest you are participating, I see you hold the first possition for the keyword.
Now about your problem, a Quick walk through your source reveals that on the header you are using to decorate your text colors like this -
<span style=”google_blue”>s</span><span style=”google_blue”>e</span><span style=”google_blue”>o</span><span style=”google_blue”>p</span><span style=”google_blue”>h</span>
This makes different chars of the words ”seoph” stand like a sperate word, thats why google is not counting it as seoph but it takes it as s-e-o-p-h
Remove the span tags and you will see that google started taking it as keyword.

If you do a Google search like:
site:seoph and then click on the cache link in the SERPs you will notice that the keyword seoph is highlighted.
The highlighting of the keywords is normally only available when viewing the cache linked from the SERPs and is only display function of cache search from the serps. This has no bearing on the your Google rankings.
yes i don’t think its going to affect my keyword ranking for “isulong seoph” either. i’ll just leave it that way for a while. We’ll see.
