You have probably heard that keyword-rich articles are the best internet marketing tools that you can use to grow your ebusiness.
If you don't know where and how to begin, this easy-to-follow guide will help you get started on the right foot: 1.
Keyword research.
The first thing to do is to know the keywords that you are going to use on your articles.
Sure, you can do the guessing game but if you want to get reliable information, I suggest that you use keyword suggestions tools.
There are some that are offered by giant search engines for free.
These are highly recommended because they are very reliable and user-friendly.
Aside from giving you the most popular terms, these tools will also give you the search volume for each term and phrase to give you an idea as to which ones are very competitive.
You'll also get a list of alternative phrases that you can use for your articles.
2.
Keyword density.
How many times should you use your keywords on your articles? Right now, it's safe to stick with 1-2% keyword density.
That means, you'll get to use the keywords that you're targeting 5-10 times for articles that contain no less than 500 words.
3.
Seeding the keywords.
Where should you be placing your keywords? Help the search spiders in easily locating your keywords by placing them on your title and at least once on each of your paragraphs that contain no less than 100 words.
As much as possible, place them either on the first or last paragraph.
