Quality articles are a key tool in generating web traffic, and knowing how to compose them will help you waste less time posting pieces that will not be read.

"Hitter" Key Words

The first step in composing an effective SEO article is identifying targeted key words. You do not want to stuff multiple words into one article. If you have 2 or 3 key words that you use as your focal point, you may use another few key words to increase relevance to a particular market segment.

For example: If you are writing about cell phones, you may choose key words such as wireless, and mobile. Surrounding each entry of your keywords you may include iPhone, Blackberry, or some other hot item that is relevant to your key word.

If you are selling or promoting rate plans more than the phones themselves, you would use appropriate terms for that.

Key Word Density

While there is no specific science to hitting the perfect key word density, a range of 2-5 per cent is a good bet. Generally, anything more than that can get lost in the search engine because it is 'stuffed' too full.

Key Word Placement

Article Title and Tag Header. Your title should be creative and include a popularly searched key word string. Tag Headers are important and should consist of popularly searched key word strings.

A good way to achieve proper placement throughout your article is: One key word per 100-150 words.

Definitely in the first sentence.

Definitely mid article.

Definitely last sentence.

Include Hyperlinks

Search engine love hyperlinks and back links. If you have multiple article or blog submissions, make sure you link them together. Plus, it gives your readers and target consumers an opportunity to connect directly to you.

Keep Paragraphs Brief

Keeping smaller paragraphs that are each separated by spacing not only makes it easier for your reader to digest the information, it also makes it easier for the search engine to identify your article as being 'relevant' to a key word search.

The Benefit of Topics, Numbering, and Bulletting

Listed type compositions are some of the most popular for search engines that are looking for the most relevant references on the web. Often times you will see a lot of 'definitions' for search items on the home page...That's because they appear to the search engine to be the most informative. The more informative your articles and blogs are, the more recognition your product or website will achieve.

    Great tips. I think it will help a lot of people. I have recently discovered that shortening my paragraphs get much more readers, comments and clicks.

    I am still looking professional, but it makes the article easy to read.
    Also I like making the first sentence or few words bold on my blog to let people know what it is about.

    Unfortunately till recently I did not focus much on formatting and I suppose I was losing out a lot.

    Happy you covered this.
