Article Writing Tips – Write for the Audience
When you set out to write an article for your website or blog, make sure you do so with one aim in mind – to satisfy your human readers. But what do I mean by this statement? Well, many, many article writers make the mistake of writing their articles purely with search engine optimisation (SEO) in mind. Here’s the deal though – search engine algorithms have evolved tremendously over the last few years and what once was considered to be the norm (i.e. writing with a specific keyword density in mind, placing keywords in specific parts of the article, etc, etc), is now very much outdated. Think about it – search engines really do want to present the very best search results to their users; this means as related as possible to the query that was input into the search box. They aren’t going to present a result based solely on the keyword density, or whether the main keyword has been presented as near to the beginning or as near to the end of the article – they will present results that they feel the user can benefit from most.
Bearing the above in mind then, it would make sense to write an article as naturally as possible, letting it flow smoothly and allowing the reader to effortlessly devour the information contained therein. In other words, write an article that speaks directly to your audience, one that offers value in relation to the topic covered. At the end of the day, content that is deemed useful will engage the person reading it and will therefore meet their requirements (the reason for reading the article in the first place).
Surely an article writer will find it much easier to write naturally rather than write something specifically with SEO in mind? When you are looking to write a piece to be proud of, the last thing you want to be doing when the creative juices are flowing is to be stressing over keyword placements and density, and other such distractions. Any experienced article writer will tell you that they cannot produce their best work if they are weighed down with SEO related issues.
The next time you sit down to write an article for your blog or website, focus on the topic at hand and make sure you write the article for the reader – not for some search engine bot!
