My 30 word SEO copywriting analogy

Hi all,

I thought id contribute and give my little snippet on SEO copywriting:

“A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.”
Sean | Organic-SEO-Blog.com

I'd be curious to hear what you think of your analogy, and your own analogies on SEO copywriting

 

so is "no unnecessary" the keyword phrase?

I like the analogy, the "...machine no extra parts..." speaks clearly of effeciency(very nice), but I'm not sure about the "...drawing should have no unnecesarry lines..." part.

Style and creativity are what seperate one bit of content from another - after all how different are Joe's red widgets from Salley's red widgets? With-out flare, style and a bit of creativity (IE extra lines) content begins to grow stale and uninteresting.

While I'm no writer, I wonder if more of a distenction can be made between writing simply for keyword density and writing with more wholistic SEO in mind. Writing for SEO can be quite a bit more than simply maintaining strict keyphrase theme support.

I'm realizing more and more that the quality of a pages content contributes as much to the long term SEO value of a page/site than the standard SEO elements (title, description, h1).

While the writers and the link spammers battle rages on over who is king (content vs. linking) I say its a dead draw. Either with-out the other is pretty pointless - but if you have a decent site, with interesting content, writen in a compelling manner - you'll gain solid readership ofer time, or at minimal convert more traffic to $$.

Of course - that's an overly wordy way of saying - "Yeah, nice analogy"

 

I only read that and echo the 'nice analogy' part.

 

latoya, haha always tuned for SEO

AzAkers brilliant;y comprehensive response, im honoured. I agree, if all sites were optimised to be the same, they'd be dull. They all must have style zest

Oosha and you all, thanks for your responses

 

I'm just curious about SEO writing. How many times a keyword should be used in the article?

 

You'll get different statistics, but 3-5% is most common. A piece written by an expert on a topic will most likely contain keywords without having to check the actual percentage, but if you'd like to check to satisfy your own curiosity, there are sites out there that will count words and phrases for you.

 

Not bad at all bro, I like it.
