#1 Keywords for Article Marketing Success

You have heard that doing keyword research is essential to your article marketing success. In learning how to submit articles, it's crucial to learn how to properly use the keywords that you've compiled. This article will teach you what to do with your keywords in relation to your resource box.
 
There are two types of keywords that are in your list – the first is a shorter type that is 2-3 words long. This type of keyword phrase is one that you would like your website to get a high ranking for. In other words, when your target customers type this phrase into Google, you would like for your website to appear high up in the results list, ideally in the number one position.
 
The other type of keyword phrase is called a "long-tail keyword." Those are longer phrases, usually 3-8 or more words long, and they're ideal for using as part of your title and as the subject for your articles. These longer phrases are ones that you'd like your article to rank for (rather than your website).
 
When you're considering using your keywords as part of the resource box, you'll be looking at the shorter 2-3 word long phrases. These are the phrases that you want search engines to associate with your website.
 
Alright, so how do you use your key phrases in your resource box?
 
Many online publishers will allow you to use HTML code in your resource box, so that you can make particular words form a link. When the reader looks at your resource box, he'll see text, and part of the text will be linked. When the reader clicks that hyperlinked text, he is taken to your website.
 
Why not just use your keywords in your resource box without hyperlinking them?
 
You could certainly do that, but you'd be missing out on some serious SEO benefits that linking your keyword phrase offers. You see, when Google looks at a web page and sees a bunch of text, it pays special attention to any text that is hyperlinked. The reason is that Google is trying to determine the subject matter of the web page, so that it can correctly categorize it and appropriately include it in results lists when someone does a search for that subject matter. The assumption by the search engine is that words that are hyperlinked have special significance to the subject of the page.
 
So, when you are creating your resource box, it is extra beneficial to make it so that your keywords are linked.
 
my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts. Studies have shown that the easiest type faces to read on the Internet are san serif fonts. Popular sans fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, and Arial. Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
