When you start to craft content with SEO in mind, you need to start with an objective and design for that. Having a defined set of keywords, a target keyword density and related keywords are all important to sculpt a proper SEO article. At ArticlesOnTap.com we know SEO Article Writing – it’s our forte. We know it because we live it and use it in our very own article marketing efforts every day.

So, what are the keys to good SEO article writing success? Here is a brief set of general rules to follow. Please note that to do this and truly be effective you need to start off with a proper SEO analysis of your site and have attainable keywords ready to target. Without that research, you’re “flying blind” so to speak, but here are some basic guidelines.

• Select a Primary Keyword for your article
• Select three or four secondary keywords for your article
• Use the primary keyword in the following locations:
  • The title of the article
  • The first sentence of the article
  • The last sentence of the first paragraph of the article
  • The last paragraph of the article
  • Other times in the body of the article, but, as a general rule, do not exceed one time per 100 words of content
• Use the secondary keywords only as they make sense in the course of writing your article
• Write naturally and do not keyword stuff

Okay, so that’s a very basic guide – enough to get you started. There are other factors that are applied as well depending upon the niche, the competitiveness, the SEO analysis data from your site, etc… but if you follow those rules you’ll have about 85% of it covered and be far ahead of most other sites when it comes to SEO Article Writing. Remember that to be successful with SEO or Article Marketing that you must be patient and consistent. So many people do it for a month or less and then wonder why they don’t get great results. The real secret is consistency – you just have to keep working at it and releasing more keyword rich and targeted content and the results will come in time if you have done the proper keyword analysis.
