How To Write SEO Friendly Content (Newbie To Advanced)

Before I go into these steps, let me explain the concept of keyword density. The number of times a keyword is mentioned on a given page can help determine how that page is optimized for search engines. When it comes to keyword density, it seems like a density level ranging from 1% to 4% is the best recommendation on how to write SEO articles, without exaggerating on the use of keywords. I would recommend a keyword density of between 1% and 3%, in order to be safe and to avoid using it in places where the article can be read easily and in italics.

Keyword research. Let’s say you are done with the initial keyword research phase and you have the target keyword (or keywords) ready. To get a rank for this word, you should do a Google Ad-words Tool search to a) check your keyword competition and b) try to write unique content that is not available on your competitor’s site. .

Use of header tags for headlings. You should always use subheadings when writing an article. You can do this by using h2 tags. This helps you keep your ideas organized and much easier to read and they also provide a great place for keyword placement. The search engines pay close attention to the keywords entered in header tags, so try to use the keyword in a subheading to be noticed by the search engine.

Titles, H1 tags and meta descriptions are important. One of the most important places where you can use target keywords is title, headlines and meta descriptions. Write an attractive headline of impact that people want to click immediately. For example, if the keyword is “car” you could use a title like “Learn how to drive a car” or “How to choose a car that suits your lifestyle” or something similar that is relevant to the written content.

Keyword density. To be effective for a search engine, an article should either be focus on target keywords or keyword expressions. On average, an SEO article should have a keyword density between 1 – 4%. To determine this density, make the ratio between the number of keywords or keyword expressions that appear in the article and the total number of words in the article, or you can use a special application to calculate it.

 

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this SEO of a thing I've just started HTML classes,I've not gotten there yet but with time certainly I will.

 

If you want to write SEO friendly content, begin by using a long tail search term in the tile. Long tail search term is the term people type on the Google, or any other search engines, to perform searches. If your title matches the exact search term, your content will be easily available on search results.

 

Content formatting plays a great role in on page SEO. You need to divide your article on multiple sections and give a good subtitle for each of these sections. You can use secondaty keywords on subtitles.

 

These tips might work for a blog, but possibly not for the forums because on forums we do not have much rooms to apply many of these SEO strategies. I mean where do I use H1 tags.
