Often I've found content writers complaining against brutal aftermaths of SEO. They claim that SEO shatters the whole central theme of subject and thus makes something that they weren't even trying to deal with. Is SEO that much brutal against Content cohesion and coherence?
SEO and writer must connive each other in order to know the right content of what to write and what to publish.
Would it be better if the content writers know something about SEO, or let the SEOers having good writing skills to write? That won't do any hurt to the coherence of content and can achieve good SEO effects at the same time.
Content and SEO must go well not be compared. Don't add anymore keywords if it won't relate on the theme of the contents. Put it on another article.
High quality content is actually good for SEO. Content writers won't ever say that. The actual thing is to keep your content relevant to the page, and make sure it contains keywords that you want your page to rank for. Dispersing the keywords across the article won't lower its quality :/
Ha-ha, you talk like Google. When they want to introduce a new algorithm update, they usually say something like "a lot of users have been complaining that..." Anyway, a bad dancer complains about the microphone on the stage. So, a bad content writer would complain about SEO. Besides, too many keywords in content is not the trend these days. Run on page seo audit on a top ranking site of your competitor and see how many keywords they use on page. I'm pretty sure, the density won't be high.
