    I don't know probably the best way is to just write an article with unique content while using a lot of keywords - I don't think that there is THE way. Anyways, a blog I really enjoy is copyblogger.com. A lot of really good stuff there, just check it out. (It isn't my blog :))

    Or you can hire people for that. (oh ok musicMan12 said it)

    Hi, I'll just run through the steps that I do when writing articles.

    When I have researched a viable keyword phrase for an article I type the keyword into google search with quotes, for example the keyword phrase for the article was how to grow cabbages I would type "how to grow cabbages".

    From these search results I then look for 3-5 good quality articles on the keyword phrase, read them through, absorb them and write notes if need be but don't copy a single word directly. The aim is to write your own unique content.

    I find writing my article much easier by breaking it into steps rather than trying to write the whole darn thing at once. I try to make sure all my articles have at least 500 words.

    Title or Subject line (1 sentence)

    Introduction (1 paragraph) 100 words

    Main Content (3 paragraphs) 100 words per paragraph

    Conclusion (1 paragraph) 100 Words

    Your articles need to flow, the intro should lead the reader to your main content. You need to tell the reader what the article is about and what they will learn if they keep reading.

    Obviously you main content should contain the important information your reader was looking for. Pick three points to elaborate on and build each of your 100 word paragraphs around these points.

    Your conclusion should round up your article, tell your reader what they have just learnt and how it will benefit them.

    I don't concentrate too much on keyword density myself, I just make sure my keyword phrase is mentioned in the title, introduction, each of the three paragraphs and the conclusion.

    I know that is only 1% density but you really should be writing your articles for the reader more than anything else. Your keyword phrase is spread evenly through your article and that should stand the test of time with the search engines in my opinion.

    The best way to write articles that are highly searched is to find keywords that pertain to your product that are highly searched. Usually longtail ones are best. Use overture or the free wordtracker tool to do the keyword search.

    Then write your articles with the keyword or phrase in your title twice, and once every hundred words in your article, that should be good.

    Learn early on that "highly researched" doesn't mean using sites like Wikipedia as a source. Think about writing a college paper, and what a professor would consider a legitimate source. Stick to things like that, and you'll have much higher quality research (like company press releases if it's about a product, direct interviews or quotes from an expert source, official records, etc.).
