Although you're writing your articles mainly for your target audience, you will also have to think of the search engines and their algorithms each time you tap on your keyboard.
Why? It's because you want these engines (particularly Google) to make your articles show up prominently on relevant search page results.
The higher your articles' page ranking are, the higher your chances of getting online users to see them.
Here's how you can write good articles for search engines: 1.
Start the day by knowing if there are any changes in the algorithms of major search engines.
I wouldn't lie about it; this can be a bit challenging as these engines are not announcing any changes that they're making.
So, what you can do is to mingle with expert SEO writers on relevant forums and social networking sites and ask for relevant up-to-date information.
2.
Look for the most in-demand keywords.
The most popular keywords in your chosen niche can change any minute.
So, before you pick your topics for your articles, do a keyword research first using tools from major search engines.
List down the words or phrases that are constantly being searched for by your target audience and think of ways on how you can convert them to article topics.
3.
Optimize your articles.
Right after you finish writing your articles, optimize them by inserting the keywords that you're targeting and their synonyms all throughout your content.
These keywords must appear once for every 100 words.
They must also appear on your titles and resource box (if you're distributing them to directories).
