Most users need not worry about this as it only applies to apges that are being opened up to be visible to unregistered users, and thus search engines such as Google
Pages that are able to be viewed by unregistered users are also able to be indexed by search engines. Thus content on these pages needs to use appropriate keywords to improve indexing of the pages and WikiVets ranking on Google
Pages visible to search engines should use more words that are perhaps not so useful on other pages. for example the use of vet and veterinary and more common names such as dog (rather than/as well as canine). This is because users of WikiVet know it is a veterinary resource but search engines or naive users do not. Therefore include vet etc. on these pages so that the search engines pick up on this. this allows WikiVet to be better indexed but also provides more relevant hits for the site. Secondly think what users will search, i.e. dog is more likely than canine for most conditions etc. Obviously do not degrade the page content or simplify it but perhaps use both terms or reword sentences to contain more keywords that may be more relevant for non-registered users search for veterinary topics on search engines.
