How can I make google show a link to my website when words are entred
into its search field that don't actually appear in the main page
of/anywhere in my website.

I think these keywords need to be put somewhere not in the body of the
index.html page and I think something called "meta data" is needed but
don't know if this is right.

Any help very much appreciated.

Do a Google search on Search Engine Placement. You'll find loads of
information!

The short answer is "You don't". (Although if a user searched for
(e.g.) "consider" and you have "considered" then I believe it will
match).

Meta tags have been so abused that search engines pay next to no
attention to them.

Dear sirs,
So therefore because of this, you no longer need to use the Meta
keyword tag in order to get placed in a search engine. You may be able
to put these words into a hidden div, but that is the closest I can
think of to having displayable text that isn't displayed. Just create
a div like this:
<div name="keywords" style="position:absolute;visibility:hidden">
your keywords that you want hidden
</div>

If you later want to reveal that text, you can just use JavaScript like
this to change it:
window.document.all.keywords.visibility = "visible";

Google and other search engines will penalize you for hidden keywords.
This is the same thing as white text on white background. The bots have
been trained to spot it.

And for users who do not have javascript available, how are they going to
see it?

The best thing to do is use sematically correct markup, and put your
keywords into the actual content. Don't try to play games with the bots,
they win every time.
