3 Keyword Writing Tips
Writing articles around keywords has got to be one of the most tedious and uninteresting tasks for many webmasters. Whether you’re trying to boost traffic, increase sales, or simply gain the marketing exposure that your business deserves, writing articles to promote your business can be a great strategy. However, it’s often a tedious and unrewarding task, with the best performance not always coming from the greatest time input. Keyword article writing, also known as SEO article writing, is a strategy as old as search engines itself, and forms the backbone of any sensible SEO campaign. These three tips are designed to both ease the strains that can come with article writing and increase the results of your SEO writing campaigns. Put your pens down, brainstorm some keyword ideas, and get ready to write. Here they are:
#1 – Write first, and add keywords later.
This strategy is a great way to get the highest quality content, suitable for both the search engines and the most dedicated and specialized human readers. Whether you need to gain clients and customers or just increase page views to boost your Adsense earnings, increasing exposure through a well written article is one of the best ways to do so. Increase you content quality and convert only the best traffic by writing with human readers in mind first and foremost, and editing and formatting your content for search engines after the writing goes on. It’ll clear up your content, increase your abilities to convert readers, and create great word of mouth traffic to you.
#2 – Invest in a little inside research.
Want to pump out SEO articles at record speed? It all starts with learning about your subjects. For some people, SEO is all about pumping keyword count and maximizing the views that your articles attract. While these people get a little bit of traffic, they’re not the type that have huge client bases and massive sales. When you balance your SEO keywords with a little common knowledge and specialist information, you can attract two different crowds to your writing. The first is the me-too crowd, here to read your content and pass over your sale techniques. The other is the enthusiast crowd — the types that are ready to buy and desperate to spend their money for great content. Do your best to attract the second type of visitor above all others.
#3 – Plan your article titles before you write.
This little tip could shave 50% off of your article writing time. For many people, creativity comes at different times of the day. From 9am to midday, we’re full of creative ideas for page titles, article ideas, and other content works. However, at those same times we can’t bring ourselves to touch pad to paper and create the content that brings in those visitors. At other times, we’re ready to write but unable to form the ideas that make great articles. Combine these two different states and use different work styles and times to make your articles combine great idea and great execution.

Very good tips, Earl. I always heard that you should do your research and write around your keywords. Your first tip “Write first, and add keywords later” makes a lot of sense. Get good quality content first and then fit your keywords into that. Good advice. Thanks.

I think one and two can be done before posting/publishing. But the third one you should always do before posting/publishing.

I sometimes like to find a quiet spot where I can let my mind wander and see where it leads me. And then the realization sets in that I am at work. Boy, now that is a quiet time buster. But I do find myself coming up with great ideas when I least exppect it. Having a pen and paper near helps because if I do not get it down then I may not be able to phrase it like I had thought about before.

I too always have a list of topics and the title often changes after writing the article but having a list of potential topics allows te subconscious to go to work long before I start writing.

Your third tip is very important. The title is what will get people to read the article in the first place, so you need to make sure it interesting, but also has your keyword in it.

Powerful & profitable info, Earl – thanks for sharing it!
One note about Point 3 – I keep a pad on my desk just for blog post ideas, and make note of a subject any time I think of a good one. If I don’t have anything specific to blog about right then, I pick a subject and write the post. Sometimes the subject is a good title for it, while often a better title presents itself through the course of writing the article…
So if you’re stuck for a title that contains your target keyword or keyword phrase and still creates enough interest to lead people to the article, go ahead and write what you want to say first, then read through it and pick an appropriate title from that.
