Thanks for the tips! It's the first time I think I've seen the:

put in those terms - but that totally make sense, thanks. Going to start doing something like that from now on :)

A very helpful SEO trick I learned myself was to make sure your keywords are written at the beginning of the article, and the lower Google finds the keyword in the article, the less the page rank will be. I learned this while writing my own post with keywords encoding and character sets.

Good question.

I think right now for search engines there are no implications.
