Integrating Your Keywords into Your Content - Your Readers are Your Top Priority
(Page 4 of 4 )
You need to develop your content for your readers. That's the bottom line. I am sure you have seen web sites out there with a ton of unrelated keywords slapped somewhere on the page just for the sake of rankings. Not only are those pages horrible, they are an insult to every visitor coming to the site.
Those pages are not published for human consumption but for a "dumb" robot. Yes, there is an obvious reason that those keyword rich sites rank well but they will never gain any popularity or momentum with web users. Guess what? It is possible to write great content for humans and also get the same results as the sites built for the robots. The difference is that when your site makes sense to humans, it follows that it makes sense to the search engines, but it doesn't work the other way around.
If your keywords are true to your site and your business then putting together your keyword rich content so it makes sense to your visitor should not be a problem. It will take some creativity but here are some ideas to help you think more like a copywriter.
As I stated before, writing content as an expert for a broad audience can have its pitfalls. It's important to be descriptive. Always ask -- and answer -- the questions of who, what, and where when you go about writing or re-writing your content.
For example, many web sites have a frequently asked questions (FAQ) page. On many sites you'll see FAQs or at the top of the pages you'll see Frequently Asked Questions. Frequently Asked Questions about what?
A creative SEO will use every opportunity to place their targeted keyword in their content. By simply adding "about Colorado skiing adventures" to the end of FAQ, I am adding more descriptive text to my content which will both please my visitors and the search engines.
You now have a better understanding of how to choose your keywords and then think creatively and weave those keywords into your content. The most important point I can leave you with is to make sure you truly invest in your content for your readers and not invest your time and money into ranking well with content that doesn't appeal to humans. Your visitors are your key to success.
