Keyword Research Strategies For Article Writers - page 3

by Carole , 1/2/2006

There are many, many more you can find and different ways of analyzing their potential with just a few minutes of work, but you get the point.

Now you want to put them to use. Just like in an article directory, you're going to put your low-competition keywords at the bottom of the article. I put mine underneath my resource box. 10-15 keywords or keyphrases works good. But something else is happening here too - more instances of the keyword "Adsense" are appearing on the page, thus enhancing keyword density.

Really, you're killing 4 birds with one stone:

You're giving yourself a unique advantage over article directories which have copies of your content. No need to worry about them getting all the search engine traffic (general users) and stealing it away from you.
You're increasing your search engine rank through greater keyword density and getting a larger reach through keyphrases actually used by web surfers.
You're reaching article publishers more effectively by mainly focusing on the keywords and keyphrases they are using - not what the general user population uses.
You're also getting a major advantage over other websites listed in the search engines, allowing you to compete not just with low-competing keywords and keyphrases, but with higher-competing terms as well. You might be surprised how a single page on your site will jump to the top 1-10 results among 100,000's of other websites.

Good Luck!
