Use your keywords and lose the pronoun - Article writing tip.

I was writing away today and found myself writing a sentence as follows.

"So if you are looking to buy one for yourself I would go to.........."

Then I thought to myself that instead of using the pronoun "one" I might as well put in my keyword which in this case was "acoustic guitar for beginners"

So I changed the sentence to

"So if you are looking to buy an acoustic guitar for beginners I would go to..........."

This is pretty simple stuff but I thought I would share it anyway.
You should not over do the keywords but in my opinion you should use them at least twice in the article body. This sort of keyword can be hard to include naturally in your text.

    Good post, Ken. To make it even stronger (a call to action) I would change it to something like:

    "So if you are looking to buy an acoustic guitar for beginners, go to..........."

    This is written in the "command form" and gives a strong call to action.

      Good tip Angela.

      @Kenj
      Also a good tip and that is something I try to do but you also have to be careful about using your keyword too many times if you're submitting it to EZA.

      I had an article rejected for overusing my keyword (which I didn't think I was doing) so I actually had to use your tip in reverse, taking the keyword out and putting in a non keyword substitute.

        Well Angela

        I have to say that your "command" tip is better then mine
        How dare you

        I am going to use that for a few articles and push a few of my readers around a bit.

        Thanks
