SEO Tips

SEO if you’re new to web marketing pretty soon you’ll come across this term: S.E.O . S.E.O stand for Search Engine Optimization, meaning improving all of your webpages and net content, e.g., blog entries, articles, and so on.

The answer’s simple, yes. As I build my home business and engage with many folks who are at varied stages of private and business development, I have more of an appreciation for their needs.

Sear Engine Optimization

Remember, you aren’t just trying to attract the search engines, you want to make sure your article makes sense for human readers too, actually this should be your main focus. You don’t have to short change your readers just to keep the search engines happy, you can do both.

You want to strive for a keyword density of no more than 3%. Obviously the longer the article the more keywords you can include and still make that 3% goal.  I recommend you keep your article and blog posts at about 350 to 500 words in length.

That is the optimum length because it is long enough to allow you to include some useful information without being so long that it turns off any potential readers. If your article is too short it just looks like it is all for the purpose of keyword stuffing and many search engines and article directories don’t appreciate that.

On the other hand, internet surfers are notoriously short on attention span, so to get the most out of your articles you can also include bullet points and keep your paragraphs short and to the point. Also, don’t make your articles too long, over 500 words, or too short, less than 350 words.

There is a lot more you can do with search engine optimization if you want to invest the time and effort. But, for most people just a little knowledge and keyword placement in your articles or blog posts can really help you get more traffic to your website.  So can you answer:  SEO – is SEO crucial and why?
