have a fresh perspective when you look at it again. You'll see more clearly where you could have been more concise. In many cases, you can increase the incidence of a keyword simply by making the text smaller in relation to that keyword.

Write on a Site with High Traffic

More than once I've copied and pasted the same article from one site to another, almost verbatim. On the initial site, the article got no traffic. Almost the exact same text on a higher traffic site got several hundred views in a few months. So in some ways it doesn't matter how well you optimize for keywords. If you're on the wrong site, nobody will see your writing.

Optimize Your Associated Content Producer Page

If you write for Associated Content, you can optimize your Producer Page. Do this by writing a lot of articles on a single topic. Your page will be more likely to come up in a search for that specific topic, especially on the AC search engine.

Don't Over-Optimize

The most important factor in keeping the quality of your writing high is not to overdo the optimization. In many cases, search engine optimization won't do any good. In other cases, despite minimal search engine optimization, an article will take off with thousands of page views. Also, every once in a while, you should write an article that is not optimized for search engines at all. These articles should be written to show off your best writing skills. Try to write on a variety of different subjects, and promote your writing on other sites. That way your best writing won't get lost in the shuffle.
