Keyword Articles - More Than You Ever Wanted to Know

I love writing keyword articles.
Most people dismiss them as mindless, repetitive garbage writing. But that couldn't be further from the truth. Keyword articles got a bad rap because they were indeed written horribly and you can't have an interesting article saying things like , "Electric dog polishers were found to cause mesothelioma and studies on mesothelioma found a direct link between the use of these items and mesothelioma" ...blah blah blah you get the idea.

Fortunately, Google did us all a favor and made their spiders realize when a keyword article was just repetitious spam and now if an article has the keyword repeated at inappropriate levels (inappropriate according to Google) then it will be dismissed as relevant and not counted in the overall importance of the site.

That's the other beauty of keyword articles; they must be unique. You can get all the keyword articles that you want free from a good number of article databases and guess what? They won't matter a hill of beans for your page rank. If the keyword content is already being used elsewhere your content won't matter to Google because it is not unique and you just drove down the other guy's relevance by copying their content -whether they know it or not.

One place many keyword article writers mess up is when they don't get creative with the keyword phrases. There are so many ways to stash a phrase in a keyword article that the reader will never know they are reading something informative as well as SEO friendly.

Let's say you had the keyword phrase Sedona Ariona real estate is your keyword phrase.
You can't just repeat that over and over and expect the reader's eyes not to glaze over and have them fall into a boredom coma.

Instead get clever, and learn the rules of keyword articles. A big one is that punctuation does not divide a keyword phrase as far as a search engine spider is concerned. This leaves a lot of room for getting creative with your keyword articles.

Example using Sedona Arizona Real Estate as a keyword phrase:

• Sedona Arizona real estate is a growing market in 2007
• When visiting Sedona, Arizona real estate agents can show you how to make the city your new home.
• It is not just Sedona Arizona. Real estate in Phoenix is growing too.
  
  

Using the keyword phrase in a quote is another clever way to conceal it.

• "No community is growing faster than Sedona Arizona" real estate agent XYZ Person stated.
  
  

Using the keyword phrase in a list works well too.

• The city with the fastest growing home market is Sedona Arizona
• Real estate is growing at 12% per year.
• Schools in Sedona are also highly rated.
  

Add words before or after the keyword phrase and chances are you can take what might be a really boring piece and make it entertaining and SEO powerful.


See how easy that can be to have both a well-written keyword article as well as an SEO powerhouse for a client's website?

Use these tips and if you're not already, make keyword articles part of your website and if you already work as a keyword article writer, use these tips to make your articles even more interesting.

Keyword Content Loves Google Adsense

We run Google Adsense on all of our sites and that's no secret - obviously you see the ads.
What's cool is that people really click them. It's not much per click but it adds up and that's the beauty of Adsense.

People are jaded and soured on Adsense and with good reason. If you go into it wrong - you won't make a dime and you could get disheartened really quickly.

Many people that diss Adsense went into it this way: there are even packaged sites out there doing a brisk business as far as being sold and they usually consist of between 5,000 and 10,000 articles that are dated and badly written. Worse than that, since the articles aren't unique content, they get dismissed by the search engines as duplicate content and not only does a new site with high hopes of making a living as an Adsense site get dashed off the get-go; the websites that have already posted those articles are being penalized and buried in the search engine rankings as non-relevant content.
So the only people that are making $$$ on this venture are the people selling the Adsense in a Box.

I personally reviewed an Adsense in a Box type of product that came with roughly 11,000 of the worst articles I've ever read and the seller's Adsense account is embedded in every page. The links were done, the site was ready to upload. The newbie might put in their own logo and buy a domain and then post it and see that there were Adsense ads running and never even snap that the ads were benefitting someone else.

Anyway - thanks for the clicks - we appreciate it and keep writing!
