    There's no such thing as SEO writing. All SEO writing is to the SEO writer is strategic keyword filling---it only has a minimal insignificant effect. The only SEO you must know is that you use the words that you want people to search, simple as that.

    But there is no SCIENCE called SEO writing---you want to know why?? Because Google engineers the web for readers not for webmasters. A Google engineer optimizing the Google algorithm, is going to construct the code so it detects you SEO writing, keyword filling people, and then rank you lower than someone who has written passionately and significantly.

    In other words by writing with an SEO-mindset, you are fighting against Google, you will lose eventually. If you write for your audience, you're likely working WITH Google, and Google will appreciate it.

    I'll give you an example, I wrote an article filled with keywords, bolded certain keywords, made a keyword filled title. It got ranked pretty well in search engines, got many hits over time. Maybe has 3,000 reads by now.

    Then I wrote an article. Worked hard on writing something interesting and amazing. Used a lot of images. Wrote useful content. Then my readers liked it, they submitted it to a social network. And in only 4 days, I received 40,000 reads. PLUS--- Google ranks it FIRST page on many high quality two-word keywords, now instead of getting maybe 20-30 hits from Google on various keywords for that article, I get 100s!

    You see? SEO writing, pseudo-science (look keywords!). It's not pseudo-science as many will argue, because those people are making a living on the pseudo science. (Like one guy in this thread, is selling a manual rofl)

    Tarkan I now officially proclaim you a fool. Just because you cannot achieve success do not slice at those that have proven themselves. When you feel up to it, I would not mind a challenge where you would end up donating proceeds to a charity that helps feed hungry children. That is what I love, helping real life people. Babbling on is nothing, show your piece. I will turn it into value. Sell it to a client and donate the proceeds to a charity.

    Put your mouth, where your heart should be. You are in a stalled position, and I have people in less than six weeks pass you by, You simply refuse to learn, when you have so much to learn. That is the biggest problem, when a person has a problem and will not admit it. You are a lost cause. Someone I starting helping today has trouble just holding a keyboard, but his mind and soul are in the right place------pity on yours!----------

    Your incoherent writing proves that you are no writer, dyadvisor. I have achieved plenty of success without relying on your pseudo-science--simply by writing content people want to read not content optimized for search engines.

    I get thousands of visitors to my websites simply because of effective content, while you struggle to get your site onto a certain SERP. What success have you achieved? Prove it--oh wait, I forgot you just want to sell your manual. You offer services without proving your worth.

    Tarkan you are not only an idiot but also a super jerk.

    I am not incoherent, my fingers are disabled and now type slower and less accurate.
    I spend any spare time of my remaining days helping others.

    My talents have rewarded me with 2 houses and land that you probably could not even cover the taxes or insurance on.

    In less than 3 months, despite prescription bills of $18,000 a year, I have still managed to help at least 10 people better their career with writing. Last week I had a serious blot clot and am under extreme stroke observation from a hospital.

    That is not going to stop me, and neither is your extreme ignorance. Since I perfected a science of writing and added my creativity to the art of writing, I have been financially blessed. It is my goal to run over those too blind, to help those that want a better of style of life.

    You are a spoiled American, I am an American street fighter. The difference being that I open my services to people of India, the old Soviet Union, Pakistan, Netherlands, South America, and the USA. ALL people were born equal, and it gives me such an inward reward today, laying here right now, to know that they have used their skills and eyes to the world to pass you by.

    Content writers like you can be found anywhere an nowhere. I would gladly see people that need the money to survive compete with you. They deserve it, you sure do not. So I am still waiting for the charity challenge, I can do that while in the hospital. In the mean time do not spread your self glory on the train to nowhere.

    ---to others I apologize, even while seriously hospitalized, I hate seeing such manure being spread----

    Those of us who really know what we are doing will agree to that.


    Correct, again.

    I tell my readers to do a search on any subject, and look at all the sites that write for their visitors, and only a few keywords are put in the actual page.

    In fact, very few put keywords in their code.

    They write for their readers, with just a few touches of keywords.

    People spreading the url of that page will take care of most of the job.

    Yeah, no shit, huh?

    You noticed that also? He posts crap, and lies, just to get attention. ... It's like a sickness for him. What's that word???

    A few of us left here who are not noobs are getting tired of such garbage from posters with very little experience in anything related to writing, which is why there are so few of us left here.

    "i write for u for $3" is another reason. lol Jesus.

    Hell, I'm on my way out of this board also.

    Thanks for the thread.

    You are pretty much dead on with it.

    And for those of you who have an actual brain...write for your readers, be damn good at it, and throw in just a touch of keywords.

    Write because you do indeed love it!

    Napoleon: I joined this forum for one main purpose. To help people around the world make a better life for themselves with improving their writing and marketing skills. This has already been clearly proven in results. I do it all FREE.
    On the other hand you have a washed up porno writer, who has over 3,000 times tried to ruin threads on this post and three other forums.
    If you can do a better job than me, and take over 10 people from places like the Ukraine, India, Pakistan and others, please feel free to take my place.
    I have donated hundreds of hours of my time in developing a 100+ guide to assist them at no cost. What are you contributing for free.
    So either freely contribute 40 years of knowledge that can all be financially backed up with the methods involved, or side with a nasty person inside and out, who has no intention of getting people past the $10 writer he is.
    With my health conditions, I would gladly pass you the torch if you have sufficient time and knowledge to donate, and then record it all, so others may see it, step by step.

    -------------your reply would be sincerely appreciated---------check my postings, check his-----but please do not talk until you know some truth---------many members look to improve, where do you stand?----------------------

    Are you really sure you're a writer? What have you wrote? If this text above is a sample; Well, I am speechless.

    Also, I'm a bit intrigued by why you wanted to put black color on already black text. Was it to emphasize your anger?

    Note that you called me a super-jerk, but you were the one who first targeted me in this thread by saying "Tarkan I now officially proclaim you a fool."

    Are you talking about the Alexa results on the site on my signature??? Yes you are, let me explain to you that Alexa is not always accurate.
    Here's some more accurate Google Analytics results. I know, Google is only giving me so few hits :((((( so fewwwwww, it's too bad that Digg is skewing the statistics, I guess it's because they actually like the website...
    This is just THIS WEEK (June 19th to June 25th):
    digg.com (referral)
    26,347 50.39%
    (direct) ((none))
    17,406 17.54%
    google (organic)

    Tarkan Alexa is owned by Google. So if you say Alexa is not accurate, are you also saying Google is not accurate? You are using their analysis. By the way, a fool has a similar meaning to ignorant----unaware of the actual facts.

    The first post was for your filthy friend and in no way implicated you. I personally do not believe in guilty by association. I have nothing I have to prove.

    People now using my techniques are the ongoing proof. You are insistent your methods are the gospel. I am saying that the book of knowledge is much wider. But only to those that realize it. I checked your search terms most often used, and they do not even relate to your site. Never think that you are super good, and above others. There is always someone right behind you.


    If you and Perry want to Battle my skills fine. I really do not know where you personally stand. I do know you are far from reaching the peak.

    I use computer programmers, because that area I have little knowledge in. But to say my multi-million dollar results in the last 40 years of combining writing, sales, and marketing is wrong. That I doubt.


    My new website, not even officially open, is all SEO optimized. It has dropped from the 16.6 million mark of Perry's site, down to 721,000 already. It shows a trend of reaching the top 100,000 sites in 6 weeks. No tricks, no relying on social bookmarking, twitter, facebook, or any other trend that way or may not pass. ALL ORGANIC natural SEO search power and carefully written articles. Articles that inspire while teaching others. Yet packed with Power.

    If you bothered to look, I have an article posted right now on the forum. If you want to see my writing style it is right there to view. You might want to do the same.

    I could go to the grave with my knowledge and "secrets", but instead choose to now allow others worldwide to benefit from a little boost to a big boost. Providing FREE help and suddenly FREELY giving secrets is something I enjoy doing. That is where my love of writing and humanity show.--------------------------

    OK, if anyone is still reading this mess and is interested in actually learning something...

    Alexa is owned by AMAZON, not Google. Just go to the Alexa site and look at the footer on the homepage.

    As to how sites get ranked on Alexa..."The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and data obtained from other, diverse traffic data sources, and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach)."

    Do a search of any webmaster forum and you'll find tons of folks with little regard for the rankings on Alexa and providing tips on how to game the system. The numbers are easily skewed by getting friends and family to install the toolbar and make frequent visits to a site.

    Any statistics mentioned from Alexa should come with the clarification, "of the people who have downloaded and installed the Alexa toolbar, xyz's site ranking is xxx,xxx,xxx."

    'Tis disappointing to see so many here claiming to be writers but you can't even maintain a civil conversation without name calling and all the other filth. I can't believe that I'm actually missing Jen's presence around here. She'd have shut down the lot of you long ago.

    Criminy. So, I haven't read every single post in this thread. I read a few on the first page and then read some on this last page and from what I can tell it's gone down something like this:

    OP: Write because you love writing, don't be a content factory! (valid point)

    Some other People: Agree! Yay! Me too!

    Certain Person: None of you know what you're talking about! Here's how to truly make money, blah blah, poorly written, poorly spelled postity post post

    Someone else:Uh, it looks like you're missing the point. What the OP said was...

    Certain Person: You're an idiot! You don't know what you're talking about! You're an amateur! Waaaaah!

    A bunch of other people: We're going to jump into the fray! You suck! No you suck more! Your Mom! YOUR Mom! I hate you! I hate you more!

    Then suddenly: PORN!

    Everybody: bicker bicker porn bicker bicker porn bicker bicker, calling someone, basically, a child molester because they don't agree with you, bicker bicker,

    YMC: Finally a voice of reason in a bunch of giant babies. (like a breath of fresh air, really)

    I too miss Jen. I almost never come here anymore either and I am a professional writer who does earn her living with her words and who did use to get quite a lot of enjoyment out of visiting this board and talking the trade.

    If only I had the time to mod this place... I'd start walloping a bunch of you with my "get the frack out of here" stick.

    I would argue that this forum section has more passion, calculation / intelligence then ever and if that comes at the cost of some rivalries so be it :p

    One thing I've noticed unfortunately from $/word article writing and especially article rewriting is having the 'blah blah blah' syndrome where you no longer care about the subject / adequete (sp) rewrites. If you find yourself with 'blah blah blah' syndrome too you need to take a break and might even have to drop the deal entirely as working under this mindset is devastating to the quality of work

    YMC Congratulations it is all yours.

    My health, has become an issue. My mind is strong, but I will not tolerate mockery of being disabled. In fact at least 3 of the people I help with lessons also I have found to have disabilities.

    Would you like a list of the people that I AM HELPING to contact ? I think it be better they contact you.

    You may then provide them with consistent posts, over a hundred pages of instructions built on proven skills, guide them along, give them additional resources, donate your time, and of course everything for FREE.

    Then you can witness how cheap commentator seats are.

    So from now on YMC, it is up to you.

    I have no idea what you are getting on about. Buried in a bunch of namecalling and other nonsense, you made a pair of comments that I knew were incorrect. I posted the correct information and a general comment about the lack of a moderator allowing these off-topic personal attacks to overcome what could have been an interesting conversation.

    You came out of nowhere and joined this forum "to help people" while at the same time promoting a soon to be launched "article directory for writers" and an ebook. You are far from the first or last to join a forum with the "I've learned a lot and now want to share it" approach. If you are as web savvy as you claim, you should have known some members would be suspicious, if not hostile, to that approach.

    Even so, many here read each of your posts on their own merit and joined the conversations in hopes of everyone learning something. When they were on-topic, sometimes I agreed with your comments, sometimes they gave me food for thought and other times they made me cringe in disagreement.

    As soon as you said your disability sometimes precluded you from typing well, I gave you the benefit of the doubt that your posts weren't a true reflection of your writing abilities. Unlike others here, my comments have stayed on point and have nothing to do with mocking your disability - I am no stranger to pain and take great offense at your accusation.

    It doesn't matter to me if you are able bodied or not, this is an open forum and you are not the only one with an opinion. Your answer to contradictory opinions has been personal attacks. One would expect someone claiming to have made millions writing to be able to support their point of view more positively than that.

    YMC Like I said, you think you can do better. So, my reply is to go ahead and prove it.

    I am not promoting a single product for sale. Show me where? Never was the point of disability made at you, but as an illustration that people with handicapped situations often become more motivated. I am the one constantly mocked by some low down people. That I never reflected toward you. I do not want sympathy for cruelty, I just merely check out the source who is often hiding a closet of trash. So no, it is then when I will put myself on the firing line and wound those predators. If you were in the same situation, you would realize you cannot demonstrate leadership if you let sick minds control you.

    My supported view has already been given by those I help for free. If I offer a product for sale on a personal website later that is my business. Unlike, your ads, nothing will be sold here. I stand by my word and my experience.
    Right now my lesson manual is not for sale. It is given for free to those I am helping. In fact later, if I decide to offer anything else on DP, it will be free, they will simply get it free for being sincere, no matter the price.
    In fact, others that are sincere, will always be able to obtain what I am offer for free. I refuse however to help those with improper attitudes. Want to verify my 2 home values, go to willow.com. Want a list of my limos and classic cars, I will show you the insured values. My investment funds, built for my wife, however are for her eyes only.

    You miss my point completely. That being I can take some sincere in learning and head them in the direction of making more money than I ever did. Free, plus I will help get them professional clients. Having made money in itself is not a real issue. Sharing with others what to use to get there at no charge, I have yet to have anyone yet that I am helping question my wealth. I let my teachings do the talking.

    You seem to be quite a doubter about the goodness of fellow man. I do not care about race or country of origin, more about the determination to succeed.
    I would be more than glad to have you make true learning posts. I get messages and emails on a constant flow. Even some good comments. Then come the other ___, and those looking to criticize any move I make.

    Please let me know your intentions. Right now this forum is lacking a sufficient quantity of quality posts. What proof would you like to see from me. Do you want to talk to some of my clients? You saw the article that I posted in the forum section, SEO style. In less than a week its status is currently at #7, all time favorite. Would you like to see my hospital reports, I have 2 from within the last week. If you contact my learners, you will see I have a very positive, and motivating approach. I do not know if you are skeptical, but I certainly never made any unfavorable opinions against you, in fact if you remember I complimented your website for professionalism.

    If you think there are tons of leaders of there, good luck avoiding the money hungry gurus. So if you think my leadership abilities are not needed you are welcome to take over. But make some good quality post first, and then continue to fill in while all the side-liners attack. I have that ability. I have nothing financially to gain. I would rather go down in a few people's memory as the "real thing." Something you will rarely have reappear again.

    It's refreshing to see another poster, whether she he likes me or not, correct this guy (never mind his mental state). And I will end it on that note, not to way another word, believe it or not. :p


    I agree with this also.

    I see VERY few lighthearted, good-natured articles out there.

    The more you can get an editor, online or off, to at least smile, the higher your odds go up in getting him to say, "Let's see more."

    Show a bit of humor, be down to earth, relaxed, likeable, and, real, and you will get more jobs.
