Writing an Effective SEO Article

Writing an SEO article is of great importance to writers, bloggers, business owners and readers as it can get relevant information at the earliest time. Search engines like Google, Yahoo proactively index a highly relevant article or post to searchers to ensure internet users can get reliable and fact on their topics of interest.

Writing an article for Search Engine Optimization involves a lot of skills that whoever wants to become an SEO writer needs to learn and master.

Although there are key things that need to be understood to write an effective SEO article and for the article, I have included 3 items below that needs to be thoroughly understood to write an effective SEO article.

Keywords

Keywords are simply the words or texts that search engines are able to picture from search content and accordingly pop out related results. As an advice, if you really want to use an article to drive traffic to what you sell either offline or online you need to understand what keywords are being used by search engines users. So you need to do thorough keyword research before you start writing.

Among my recommendations tool for keyword research is Google's Keyword Tool or SEO Book Keyword Tool. To optimize the use of your research keywords, there are very important of your content or posts that you need to embed the keywords. 

In my experience, I always made use of embedding my keywords in the body of my posts or article or news. This is very for search engines to identify my posts as being relevant to the users but the most important is the title of the article. As an SEO writer, try as much as possible to include the keywords in the topic as this what the user’s sees before advancing to click on any links. But don’t forget that first paragraph, especially within the first 2 lines, must contain your researched keywords.

There is one question which is not always addressed by many articles regarding the number of times we can include keywords within an article post. A very informative article should not be less than 350 words and irrespective of the content sizes, the good practice is that your keywords should be less than 5%. In my advice, never use the same keywords more than 3 times within your article posts.

I love graphics. Most article directories and news blog nowadays include graphics into their posts as it’s an added value to the readers. The best way to achieve is to use part or all of your keywords as the title of the image you wish to embed within the body of your article.
