Anyone can write a basic article with eloquent wording and proper paragraph structure. Writing for the search engines requires some thought and planning. Writing SEO Optimized Articles will increase your chances of benefiting from the viral qualities of article marketing.

Include your main keyword in your article title, at the beginning of your first paragraph’s first sentence, and in the last paragraph of your article. Once you determine what your keywords will be, then incorporate them into the title of your article and a few more times throughout your article. The first words you use in your article, namely the title, will dictate what the search engines will focus on. Once the search engine reads your title, it goes on through the rest of the article looking for evidence that the title is related to the actual content.

Make sure that you don’t get penalized for keyword spamming, though. If you place your keyword in every other sentence, it makes the article less readable by humans and will most likely not be accepted by any of the most popular article submission sites.

And finally, incorporating your keywords in the anchor text in your authors bio at the end of the article will make sure that your website is targeted with your keyword. In other words, don’t just place your website address in the author’s bio, but make it a link with your keywords as the anchor text.

Of course writing SEO optimized articles is not the most important thing to focus on. The quality of the content is most critical. Your article must make sense to human readers and be interesting and relevant to your keywords. In addition, make sure that your article does not contain errors such as grammar and spelling mistakes as this is a definite indication of a poorly written and half-hearted article.

To sum all this up, begin your article with a keyword-rich title. Repeat your keywords in about 3% of the article content and include your keywords in the anchor text of your author bio. In addition to proofreading and spell checking, this will insure your article is completely SEO optimized. 

Remember to make the title catchy. You need for the title to catch the readers’ eye as well as the search engines. Make sure that your article is at least 500 words. 500- 750 is a good range for your articles. Many directories will not take them with less than 500 words. That’s the basics to writing an article that will get th best possible rank in the search engines for particular search phrases.

To begin with, you must know what keywords you will be targeting in your article. A keyword or keyword phrase is what search engines use to categorize your content and make sure it is indexed properly and shows up in the search results when someone does a search for your keyword on the Internet. Before we even start to write the article you to want to pick 2 or 3 keywords that you are going to use often throughout the article. These keywords are what you want to rank high with for search phrases.
