Articles Writing And Keyword Density
< < < Articles Seo
Articles have been known to be the driving force in driving traffic to a website. Articles are a factor in giving site high rankings in search result pages. The higher a site ranks the bigger slice of the traffic flow pie he gets. With a huge number in traffic flow, there are more profits and more potential for other income generating schemes as well.
But, it is not just about stuffing your site with articles; they have certain requirements as well. These requirements must be met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will provide for your site.
Here are some tips to help you and assist you in making your articles. Below you will read about four things all articles must have to make it successful and helpful in making your site a profit earning and traffic overflowing site.
An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry, Meningitis, Tax Lawyer and Etcetera). It could be anything they want.
The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain an auto parts site, you must be able t have articles about cars and their parts. There are many tools in the Internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out.
Keyword density is an indicator of the number of times the selected keyword appears in the article. But mind you, keywords shouldnt be over used, but should be just sufficient enough to appear at important places.
If you repeat your keywords with every other word on every line, then your articles will probably be rejected as an artificial articles or spam articles.
Keyword density is always expressed as a percentage of the total word content on a given article.
Suppose you have 100 words on your article (not including HMTL code used for writing the article), and you use a certain keyword for five times in the content. The keyword density on that page is got by simply dividing the total number of keywords, by the total number of words that appear on your article. So here it is 5 divided by 100 = .05. Because keyword density is a percentage of the total word count on the page, multiply the above by 100, that is 0.05 x 100 = 5%
The accepted standard for a keyword density is between 3% and 5%, to get recognized by the search engines and you should never exceed it.
Remember, that this rule applies to every page on your articles. It also applies to not just to one keyword but also a set of keywords that relates to a different product or service. The keyword density should always be between 3% and 5%.
Simple steps to check the density:
Copy and paste the content from an individual article into a word-processing software program like Word or Word Perfect.
Go to the Edit menu and click Select All. Now go to the Tools menu and select Word Count. Write down the total number of words in the page.
Now select the Find function on the Edit menu. Go to the Replace tab and type in the keyword you want to find. Replace that word with the same word, so you dont change the text.
When you complete the replace function, the system will provide a count of the words you replaced. That gives the number of times you have used the keyword in that page.
Using the total word count for the page and the total number of keywords you can now calculate the keyword density.

BONUS : Be A Well Paid Writer, Starting Today
Imagine writing a few words, several times a day, and waiting for checks for $10, $50, two hundred dollars or more to pop through your letterbox some time soon. Thats what life is like for writers of short manuscripts, commonly called fillers, who can make this a full time writing career or a wonderfully profitable hobby.
Fillers are short written pieces, sometimes just a few words, ranging from readers letters, to verses, jokes and cartoons, recipes and household hints, overheard conversations and odd things children say, press errors, and much more.
Demand for fillers is growing fast as people spend less time reading longer features, preferring instead shorter, fact-packed pieces that can be read during coffee breaks and in whatever little spare time most people have.
How to Get Started Today
Becoming a published writer, and being paid, is as easy as reaching for pen and paper, a few envelopes and stamps, and studying magazines for current published fillers. To be a published writer really fast look for prolific users like Readers Digest, Womans Own, Writers News, most hobby and special interest publications and virtually every womans magazine.
Read other peoples published and paid for contributions - not all attract payment - and model your work on those editors have already chosen. Notice how some editors favour comments on past published features in the magazine, while others choose pictures of children and pets, and others recipes, poetry, jokes and so on.
Look further at magazines that most closely match your interests and writing preferences and look for editors notes on how and what to write for payment which youll usually find on the contents page or in special readers letters and filler pages.
Make a list of possible subjects to write about and begin collecting ideas for letters, jokes, hints, as required by your target magazines.
Start by listing all main points you might include in your letter or filler. List these in order of importance, from 1 for most important down to however many points there are. This is usually the order they will take in your finished piece, but not always, and some editors favour keeping the most important, sometimes second most important piece to close the feature. As always, study your target magazine first.
Write your piece, in simple style, not trying to impress and without using long and complicated words. Make sure each word deserves its place in your manuscript. Go through with a highlighter pen marking essential points and looking for any which might be deleted.
Make your lead as strong as possible. Try including something to shock readers or search for an odd and little known fact about your subject. Anything to attract and retain reader interest. This is what will compel the editor, and ultimately his readers, to finish reading your work.
Letters can be handwritten, other fillers should be typed on A4 paper, double spacing, with wide margins.
Add your name and address at the beginning of the manuscript and number all pages.
Add an introduction letter to fillers stating subject, word count and your own name or chosen pen name.
Submit your letter or fillers and wait. Dont hassle editors, youll only antagonise them and possibly turn them against you forever. Once your first manuscript has gone, start work on the next, and the next.
Main Points for Filler Writers
* Sentences and paragraphs should be short and punchy. Longer sentences and paragraphs are offputting to readers. And, of course, editors, too.
* Begin by writing about subjects that interest you in magazines you read yourself.
* Try to be different. Even if the subject is common, look for an unusual feature or aspect to focus on. Make it one readers can relate to and make sure nothing similar has featured recently.
* Watch out for special sections in some publications, where editors invite features on a common theme, sometimes a grouse, frequently complaints, often asking readers to recount their most embarrassing moments, and so on.
* Keep your eyes and ears open for anything remotely interesting to use in your letters and fillers. Listen to what other people say, particularly children. Watch out for odd signs and business names, and have your camera ready to record them.
* Never copy other peoples work in your target magazines. This is breach of copyright, but there is no copyright on ideas, so what you see in one magazine can be borrowed to form the basis of a filler you write for another publication.
* Study at least a dozen or so publications of the type you would like to write for. Rank these in order of preference, according to filler types, payment, subject matter. Start writing and submitting material for those highest on your list.
* Think pictures. Think illustrations. Instead of sending just words to your target publication, include a photograph, maybe a cartoon or line drawing. This will increase your chance of being published. As always, careful study of your target magazine will establish editorial preferences.
* Always have a notepad and pen at hand, and preferably a pocket camera and mini recorder. Its amazing where inspiration and ideas strike and how often there is nothing handy to record the incident. My best ideas come when Im in the bath, ironing, gardening, or walking the dog! Those notepads pinned to every wall and popped into my handbag have repaid their cost many times over!
* Be professional in everything you write, however brief. This will bring your name to the fore when editors view your work. Being professional also opens the door to longer assignments, like articles and columns and maybe even regular commissions.
* Never assume that what suits one market will also suit another. It wont. Each market must be studied as a separate entity.
* Do not submit the same piece, or something very similar, to two markets at the same time. Editors hate this, especially where that other market is one of their major competitors. More importantly, you will lose all credibility as a writer.
* Send your manuscript to the appropriate person or department. This will usually be indicated in the publication itself, usually on the readers letters page or in appropriate sections reserved for fillers. Otherwise, address your work to the editor whose name usually features in the early pages of your target magazine. Alternatively, look in Writers and Artists Yearbook or Writers Market for the information you require.
* On the question of when to retrieve your work and submit it to another publication, most writers agree that three months is the very minimum you should wait before assuming your work has been unsuccessful. Some writers wait longer, up to a year for high-paying markets like Readers Digest.
* Keep your work in circulation. Keep accurate records of everything you write, including where it is currently on offer and where it might be submitted next. Incidentally, resubmission doesnt apply purely to unsuccessful pieces; published pieces can also be revised and resubmitted to new markets, but not too soon after publication and preferably not to major competitors of your main markets.
* Above all, enjoy yourself, this isnt hard work after all!
