Search engines ignore comments. (Otherwise people could just add all
kinds of terms that have nothing to do with their site, to get hits from
people who are looking for something else.)

If your page has only seven words--well, exactly. Your page can't be
about all that much, and whatever it is about, it has almost nothing to
say on the subject. To people looking for material on that subject, it
won't be as useful as a lot of other pages with much more content on the
same subject. It wouldn't make sense for a search engine to rank it highly.
