Keywords – Okay, so SEO is important. The keywords used in your web content need to be the same keywords you are working to gain SERP for with your website. It is important to focus on a main keyword or long tailed keyword phrase and a few sub-keywords.

Choosing the keywords is just as important as using them within the Internet content. The keywords are what the search engines will use to rank a website. If the website is focused on a tiny niche, like “free, open-source software programs”, it is important to use that keyword and variations of that keyword that are similar in meaning. The use of a long tailed keyword like this works with Latent Semantic Indexing, or LSI. LSI is the art of using keywords that people commonly type into search boxes.

Description – The description of an article is often included on article submission websites and not on website content. This could be a huge oversight. New websites post a brief, catchy description before the beginning of their articles. Why? Because people read the description first and are drawn into the topic of the article. This keeps them on the page longer and reading more of your content.

Title – Without a doubt, a powerful title is key to catching the attention of the Internet skimmer. The reason the term “skimmer” is used is due to the nature of people who browse the Internet. Readers want articles that are on topic and interesting. If the title is dull, there is very little chance that the reader will continue through the rest of the article. Furthermore, if the title is catchy, there is a better chance that other websites will republish the content on their websites, which helps to gain more backlinks.

Article Length – Another huge facet of writing for the Internet is the length of an article. EzineArticles, one of the most popular article submission websites, tells writers to keep articles within 400 to 500 words. If the topic stretches out longer than that, the attention of the reader could be lost. Articles with more than 500 words could be broken into more than one article and with content still being King, this means more content and more potential backlinks.

Too Much to Learn? Why Not Outsource?

If learning the art of writing for the web seems a bit overpowering, there are companies willing to work with your content or provide content creation and backlinking services for your business. Choosing the right business is about time. The fastest service will NEVER provide the best results.

Writing content for your website requires knowledge of writing content for the web. While search engine algorithms are constantly changing, there is one thing that will never change. Content is important, great content is more important and a strong title is what holds the entire package together.
