Website Traffic Secrets - Why SEO is Critical in Your Writing

So now that you have figured out that writing articles and creating blog entries is a great way to create a stream of free traffic, you need to think about how to maximize your time investment. After spending your precious time creating articles you would like to think you are getting the best possible return on that time investment right? In this article I will cover a few tips that should help you make the most of your articles and blog posts.

Title Tips 
  
When you begin your article the first thing to spend a few extra minutes on is the title of your article or blog post. The first thing to do is to try and make the title unique. There is no point using a title that already exists on 10 other articles. You are just making your task of getting noticed harder for yourself. 
  
Next make sure that the title is relevant to the content. Don't mislead people but don't be too vague either. It should be clear to the reader what to expect in the content. Lastly make sure that the title has your main keyword or key phrase in it so your article gets displayed with the correct searches. 
  
Watch Your Keywords 
  
In your writing you should make sure that your keywords and key phrase is used in the main body of your content to ensure. Search engines scan the content as well as the title to evaluate when to display your writing. A warning at this point though! Be careful not to use too many keywords. Putting tons in your content will get you penalized and you will lose out so by all means use keywords in your writing but don't go nuts! 
  
The Power Paragraph 
  
I always spend a few extra minutes on the first paragraph of any writing I produce and I call it the power paragraph for good reason. In searches the first paragraph can be used when displayed in results. This means people many evaluate you just on your first few sentences so this could be make or break. Make sure you craft it to pull people in as well as you possible can. 
  
Keeping these tips in mind when you write can help you create a far more powerful piece to attract traffic. Best of all these tips take hardly any more time than you are already spending on your writing and of course they are free.
