Writing Contents-with Keywords By Wadner Tranchant

When you type something on the search box of a certain search engine, do you wonder how the top-ranking websites got their respective places? That’s because they’ve practiced the proper way of writing contents for the web. If you want your site to top the search engines one day, you might want to start with one of the most basic SEO (search engine optimization) practices there is: using keywords.

For starters, keywords are usually composed of just one word or phrases which define your chosen topic and these are also what people type on the search box. These words are your gateway to popularity; but if not used properly and strategically, they can also be your highway to doom.

Here are few basic tips that will get you writing contents of good quality in no time:

• Know your keywords beforehand by assessing your chosen topic. For example, if your topic is about the color blue, list down possible sub-topics about it. Your keywords can range from “light blue” to “travel blue green” to “the origin of the color blue,” and the list goes on. This is important because if you just stick to “blue” as your keyword, your site will be buried under other sites that have more specific and planned contents.

• Avoid keyword stuffing. In other words, do not stuff your article with redundant and excessive keywords. Some people mistake SEO as a strategy in which you have to smother your content with an inappropriate number of keywords so that it will climb to the top of every search results. This is highly discouraged because it gives the impression of a poorly-constructed article. If you commit keyword stuffing, your content might be labeled as spam and your site might also be ignored by search engine spiders.

• Plan your keyword placement for a highly effective article. It is recommended that you include your main keyword (or keyword phrase) in the title, first paragraph (preferably in the first sentence) and last paragraph of the article. You can also scatter your main/secondary keywords anywhere in the article's body, so long as it doesn’t come off as spam-looking. Again, the important thing here is to avoid keyword stuffing.

• There are some keyword phrases that are very effective in optimizing your site's visibility, but are grammatically incorrect (e.g. “hotels and resorts Miami beach”). To fix this problem, you can do the following options:

• Use stop words in between keywords. Stop words are common words that are usually disregarded in search engine storage to save space. Examples of these are “a,” “an,” “and,” “the,” and many more.

              Example: “...hotels and resorts in Miami beach...”

• On the other hand, you can also put punctuation marks in between keywords to maintain the accuracy of the latter.

                Example: “...hotels and resorts. Miami beach...”

Writing contents for your website can be a little difficult with keywords in mind, but don’t worry about that. With proper keyword planning and placement, your content might just lead your site to the top spot in no time.
