Add a variable called default_page to assign a fallback page

Use a loop to create a new dictionary page_to_keywords that groups keywords by their pages

Add a final entry to page_to_keywords for the default_page with an empty list

SEO specialists and web content managers use keyword-to-page mapping to improve website visibility and user navigation.

1

Create the keyword to page mapping

Create a dictionary called keyword_to_page with these exact entries: 'home': 'index.html', 'contact': 'contact.html', 'about': 'about.html', 'blog': 'blog.html', 'services': 'services.html'.

# Create the keyword_to_page dictionary with the exact entries
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces {} to create a dictionary with the exact keyword and page pairs.

2

Add a default page variable

Add a variable called default_page and set it to the string 'index.html'.

SEO Fundamentals

keyword_to_page = {
    'home': 'index.html',
    'contact': 'contact.html',
    'about': 'about.html',
    'blog': 'blog.html',
    'services': 'services.html'
}
# Add the default_page variable below
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Just assign the string 'index.html' to the variable default_page.

3

Group keywords by their pages

Create an empty dictionary called page_to_keywords. Then use a for loop with variables keyword and page to iterate over keyword_to_page.items(). Inside the loop, add each keyword to the list of keywords for its page in page_to_keywords. If the page is not already a key, create a new list for it.

SEO Fundamentals

keyword_to_page = {
    'home': 'index.html',
    'contact': 'contact.html',
    'about': 'about.html',
    'blog': 'blog.html',
    'services': 'services.html'
}
default_page = 'index.html'

page_to_keywords = {}
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use a loop over keyword_to_page.items() and check if the page is already a key in page_to_keywords. If not, create an empty list. Then add the keyword to that list.

4

Add default page entry to the mapping

Add a new entry to page_to_keywords with the key as default_page and the value as an empty list [].

SEO Fundamentals

keyword_to_page = {
    'home': 'index.html',
    'contact': 'contact.html',
    'about': 'about.html',
    'blog': 'blog.html',
    'services': 'services.html'
}
default_page = 'index.html'

page_to_keywords = {}
for keyword, page in keyword_to_page.items():
    if page not in page_to_keywords:
        page_to_keywords[page] = []
    page_to_keywords[page].append(keyword)

# Add default_page key with empty list to page_to_keywords
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Assign an empty list to the key default_page in page_to_keywords.
