How to write effective SEO copy

by Amy Jo Browne

Created on: December 24, 2008   Last Updated: January 03, 2009

For some people SEO (search engine optimization) comes very easily. Others struggle but there is a trick to writing SEO articles. Once you see it in action, I am sure you will agree with me that this is quite easy to do.

I will not to go into some big technical discussion, because I feel that's not how people learn. I believe that most people are visual learners, so therefore that is how I will teach about SEO.

SEO is the style of writing articles, which can be found by the search engines easily. This is easier than it sounds. I know some of you may be looking at this and saying, to yourself I cannot do it. To that, I say you are wrong. It is not hard to prepare your articles for the search engines, you really simply just have to sit and write it much as I have sat writing this one for you.

I am going to tell you what SEO can do for you, and with this article, you are seeing it in action. My keyword is SEO, notice how many times it is sprinkled around in the article. You thought search engine optimization was going to be a tough subject to learn I told you it was not.

What can this type of article writing do for you? It will help bring visitors to your articles. If you are making money on page views this is exactly what you want. Do you remember the movie the Field of Dreams, where the man built to baseball field in all the ghostly superstars came back to that field to play a game? The same holds true with this type of article. If you do in the article with SEO, you build it that way visitors will flock to your pages and this means an increase in visitors. The increase of visitors means in the increase in pay, and the farm of page views.

Trust me this SEO stuff works and you will find that as I did that a article which is optimized for the search engines. There is not really a need in promoting because it promotes itself if it is a popular subject. Truthfully I do not promote my articles I know everybody says you should thought I simply have an e-mail signature, and RSS feeds on my space and face book and I seem to do pretty well with those, along with the SEO articles, which are highly searchable.

Looking back at this article, you will see that the word SEO appears somewhat often and that is because you have been reading an article, which has been optimized for the search engines. I chose to use that key phrase or keyword, because it is highly visible in.

See I told you that SEO was very easy, perhaps next time you listen to me. Just remember your keyword or key phrase needs to appear at least once every 50 words. Add it 2 times to the first and last paragraph, and sprinkle it through the rest of the article.
