There are many reasons to write an article.
You may be doing it just for fun and experience but you may also wish to expose your article content to visitors of the search engines like Google.
There are ways in which you can aid this process.
There are a few things that can help your article rank well in the search engines.
One of them is the proper use of key words and key phrases.
When people are searching on the net they are using search terms and phrases in order to find the information they are looking for.
You can examine these words using a keyword tool.
One of the most popular keyword tools (and free) is the Google keyword tool.
Just go to Google and put in "keyword tool" and it will come up top of the list.
then, in the dialogue box, put in a topic or subject that you wish to write about.
Press search and you will be shown a list of the terms people are using to search for that topic and how many searches, approximately, there are.
You can use these terms to help rank your article.
You should use the terms in the title of your article, in the first line and towards the end of the article.
This will be one simple way to boost your rankings in Google and perhaps the other search engines.
All of this will depend, of course, on other factors too.
People will be more likely to find your article content by simple search engine searching.
