Website Marketing Expert – Gerald Duck gives his top 10 tips on writing search engine friendly articles.
- Short precise and descriptive article titles.
- Article must not be to short, it should not be mistaken as an extract from a main article (even if it is).
- Ensure article is indexed by search engines and established on your own page before publishing on article sites.
- Ensure article reads correctly and is written for readers not search engines.
- Try to stay on topic of the article and not drift in to writing about other things.
- Think of each article as targeting 2 or 3 precise phrases maximum and ensure the exact phrases are used within the body text of the articles.
- Think carefully about layout, using paragraphs, headers and bullet points.
- Do not litter article with external links, restrict the amount of external links in the body text to a maximum of 2.
- Try to keep your articles themed and categorised, if writing articles on multiple subjects group them together accordingly.
- Always use the same author name on your themed articles and include your attribution information on every article.
