Article writing question?

Anyone please?

hi,
when you write articles, you need to mention keywords that you wish the searches would use in order to find your article. Place your keywords in the title of the article, upper part, middle and the bottom.

To make your article writing effective for you the main thing is identifying the keyword which is most used by customers to search for your product/ service. Then you need to write interesting articles with a keyword density of 2.5% - 5%. The keywords should be used in a way that the sentence makes sense rather than just adding keywords haphazardly. This needs to be done regularly to get results. One easy fix to learning to do this is to read what your competitors are writing and write the same in your own words

All the best!

First of all, 2.5-5% will likely get you banned from Squidoo for spamming and it will likely get your work de-indexed by Google for keyword spamming. You need around 1-2% keyword density.

Really though, you can't worry so much about that. Instead, just focus on writing the best articles you can write. I find that the keywords usually come naturally when I do it that way anyway. If they don't, you can always try to find places to put them later on.

In all cases though, don't take such awful advice as to do 5% KW density. Only spammers who don't know anything about search engine rankings do that.

The cheapest way to find good keywords to use is with the Google Adwords tool. It's free. Just enter a keyword that sounds good to you and it will spit out a list of possibilities with competition levels and monthly searches. While it's not perfect (which is why professional keyword research tools abound on the web), it's pretty good and certainly good enough for getting started. Just search on Google for it.

Regarding your site, it's nice and clean which is good. However, I'm kind of put off by the huge amount of white space after the title. Also, I'd love to see some pictures as well. Finally, go easy on the exclamation points. It's a very common tactic for non writers to use exclamation points on almost everything they write because they think it makes their stuff more exciting. It's actually just a huge turn off though and looks amateurish. Here for example, you use them four times in five lines (plus, two lines have no punctuation while the others do, which also looks bad):

Best of luck. I hope that helps.

thanks for the tips on not keyword spamming and the site, i shall try and change all of that now!

My suggestion would be use your keyword in title, a couple of times in the first 60 words of the article then a few places within the body providing it works naturally - thats the key - the keys words must flow with the article
