What’s The Point of Unique Content?
October 20, 2010 by Joseph · Leave a Comment
If you are trying to drive traffic and gain prospects, you need to pay attention. Your content may be killing you.
The easy part when it comes to blogging is finding information about the product or service that you are advertising or suggesting to your readers. You may have the greatest website on the planet and you are selling an item that makes the light bulb look like the stone wheel. The problem begins to arise when you begin writing your blog posts about these items. You can find information on the internet about what it is you are selling but you cannot take it word for word and place it in your blog. That is called plagiarism and it can land you in serious hot water.
The problem facing today’s article writers and bloggers is content. Many people do not even take the time to rewrite product descriptions or change articles to where the content is unique. They then submit these blurbs or blog posts to article directories so they can get back links to their webpage. The huge problem is that most of the popular directories have a plagiarism checker and very, very strict rules about having 100% unique content. If your article is a mish mash of stolen wording many of these directories will reject you due to duplicate content or plagiarism. That looks incredibly bad on you. It is even worse if the original authors find out.
The key is writing, or having someone else write, 100% unique content. You need to write your blog or blurb to where it is free from plagiarism. That means not lifting content from different places and just changing one word. You need to look at the material, summarize it in your mind and then write something new from the information you have gleamed. Yes, the other page helped inspire you and gave you information but the blog you write is all your own. You can then you a customized service that puts your blogs out there and gives you back links to your own webpage. You usually have to write a 100 word blurb to go with it but that is child’s play for you once you have writing the actual blogs down to a science.

If You Want Traffic Learn How to Write SEO Articles
November 17, 2009 by Joseph · Leave a Comment
Website owners who are interested in building an effective traffic flow should look at article writing for generating interest in their opportunity. Writing articles filled with helpful and unique content is a magnet for target prospects who are looking for exactly what you are offering.
If you are going to write an article for your site you should certainly maximize your effort and learn the skills that will drive visitors to your opportunity. With that as the case, it is important to learn how to write SEO articles.
What are SEO articles?
SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimized” and it means that the article is written in a way that will attract the search engine spiders and result in good rankings in the search engine results.
Today, Google is the largest and most used search engine, so most people write SEO articles to Google’s preferred standards. Writing SEO effective articles will make the other search engines happy as well. SEO rules change from time to time as Google becomes more sophisticated, but there are a few basics that remain the same.
Meaningful keywords or keyword phrases that identify what the article is about must be selected. Usually, three keywords are used in a single article. The primary keyword should be contained in the title of the article as well as in the first sentence of the text, as close to the front of the sentence as possible. The secondary keyword must be contained in subsequent paragraphs of the text, as must the tertiary keyword or keyword phrase.
Throughout the article’s text, variants of the keyword or keyword phrase can be used. For example, if you primary keyword happens to be “health” you might use the words well-being, healthiness, healthy, unhealthy, sick, ill and even healthcare are variants of the keyword. The smarter search engines will pick this up.
Keyword placement is also important when learning how to write SEO articles. By using the exact keyword phrase once and then using the words of the keyword phrase separated by a few other words can increase your SEO ranking. For example, “healthcare practitioner” as a keyword phrases could also appear in the text as “healthcare providers and practitioners” and still count toward keyword density.
Optimal SEO articles usually have a keyword density of about 4% for the main keyword and 1.5% for the other keywords. Articles with too high a keyword density will score lower on the search engine rankings than those that meet the density optimization rules.
As your articles are ranked by search engines, you’ll find that what is known as keyword spamming, packing an article full of keywords creating an abnormally high density, will result in your article failing to show up in the search results. This is to prevent people from creating nonsense articles that are just strings of keywords.
Other penalties include trying to hide keywords by using white on white text or black on black text. The smart search engine crawlers of today recognize this trick and it will not help with your SEO article ranking.
By learning how to write SEO articles, your web content can attract visitors to your website. Today, web content must be valuable for people to want to visit any website, but even if you have great information but it is written in a way that the search engines will not index it and place it high in the search engine results, your information may never be read by anyone except you.
