A few tips about the keywords

keywords, words, labels, blogIn order to make your posts easier to find for the search engines, you must think about trying new techniques in the writing process of your posts, beside the good old figures of speech.
The most important of this techniques should be the managing of the keywords. On the web, keywords aren’t the words used to reveal the internal structure of the author’s reasoning, they are the tools used to be noticed by the search engines.
With the help of keywords, you may control how people will find the post in search engines or what they will have to type to find your information, but you also should ask yourself what keywords others are using, because if your keywords are very common, your information will be lost between thousands of posts with similar ones.
For a better result, you may use keywords in titles, tags and links, but you should use them in the content of the post too. You must be careful though and try not to overreact and ruin the post’s content and the reader’s pleasure. The overfilling of the text with keywords is also called keyword stuffing and everyone agrees that loading your page in attempt to manipulate is more often causing a negative effect. SEO experts suggests that the density of the keywords should be somewhere between 5 % and 20%, but I prefer the lower limit for the content’s sake.
Some people like to find keywords, then write an article that could contain those words, but you can try to reverse the approach, by writing a good article, then figure out how to integrate the keywords, you can find it sometimes easier and it usually works for me. This way, your text won’t seem artificial and it won’t offend your reader’s intelligence.
You can check at all time your progress of the post’s optimizing process with a keyword density analyzer.
With all this been said, just remember that most of the times, it’s best to have quality rather than quantity.
