Tips On How to Write SEO Articles by Michael Cantrell
Posted on: Fri, 02 May 2008 18:46:00 +0000
 If you're new to freelance writing you may or may not have heard of SEO article writing. The term SEO stands for search engine optimization, and this is when a person who owns a website wants their site optimized to achieve higher rankings in the search engines. An SEO article is an informational piece that is optimized with specific keywords dispersed through out the body of the article that help to drive traffic to a particular website and help it move up the rankings. If you desire to be a successful freelance writer, it is essential that you learn how to write SEO articles.
One crucial aspect of learning how to write SEO articles is called keyword density. Don't be intimidated by the "technical terms" you may hear in connection with search engine optimization, as keyword density is actually a pretty simple concept to learn. Keyword density is the amount of times a specific phrase or word appears in the body of an article per 100 words. The keyword density is usually what determines the level of optimization that particular article will have in the search engines. The keyword density will vary with each project you take on, as each of your clients will have different needs and requests.
Another important part of learning how to write SEO articles is your writing style. While most SEO articles are written in an informational style, you still need to be able to connect with your audience. Most beginners learning how to write SEO articles struggle with learning how to balance their natural writing style around the placement of the keywords in the article body. It's important that you write naturally, as if you were talking to one of your best friends. This will help you to connect with your readers on a personal level and will make the content much more effective for driving traffic to your client's website.
It's also essential and vital to your career as a freelance writer that you write 100% original content. It can seem very easy when you're first learning how to write SEO articles to just copy and paste pieces of an article together and pass it off as your own work. This can be potentially damaging to your career, as most clients check the articles for plagiarism. Your clients are purchasing your services to have unique content that is creative and educational. They aren't paying you to be lazy!
These are just a few tips to help you learn how to write SEO articles. As a freelance writer it is absolutely essential to your success to learn and perfect this skill. If you don't learn how to write SEO articles you are missing out on a huge market and a lot of money so put in the work and reap the rewards!
