SEO for PDFs

Are you optimizing the PDFs on your web site for search engines? If you're not sure, you probably aren't. The (good/bad - take your pick) news is that you're not alone. Search for the title "untitled" in Google, and limit your filetype to PDFs. Here's how:
intitle:untitled filetype:pdf

Currently, Google returns nearly 21 million untitled PDFs! Somebody has some work to do...

If you're using Adobe Acrobat, simply choose "File > Document Properties" and you'll see a very intuitive form. Enter your title, description, and keywords - just as you would on a regular web page.

These few extra steps can pay huge dividends in your SEO campaign. You'll often find your PDF documents ranking very well for your targeted keywords.
