Depends from search engine. Usually this three words must be somwhere in
page
text or keywords meta tag. For some engines anywere on page even in
comments.
Where words are influneces how pages are ranked. it seems that Altavista
ranks
pages higher thn Google if there are your words in keyords meta tag.

In keywords is usually only few words describing page content. For your
exmple
there is keywords fabrics, chicken wire.
