In light of the Google’s recent changes? I’m still sorting that out! They seem to be really rewarding content. I’m hesitant to make any kind of recommendations today. They do seem to be cracking down on keyword optimized anchor text, both in your internal links and any backlinks (yours or others’).

Basically Google wants you to be authentic, and provide genuine content. They want to reward quality – http://insidesearch.blogspot.ca/2012/04/another-step-to-reward-high-quality.html

Looks like the game is changing…

And does the 2-3 keyword phrase per page still apply in light of the recent Google algorithm changes? Merci beaucoup;

How many times should the SEO keyword phrase be used on ONE page?

Thanks for your comments, Penny.

Yes! Always, always write for the readers. I think that we can expect great innovations from Google (and others) in the way websites are ranked. I really do believe that good writing and quality content will be rewarded, and the search engines will get much harder to game.

As for your second comment, funny enough I only had a typewriter and no computer until about 4 years ago. How quickly things change 🙂

Strictly as an aside, I had to smile at your graphic. I guess vintage typewriters are cool in concept, but unlike computers, they don’t work without paper.

I really did enjoy your article. It’s nice to have a solid affirmation of my own opinions now and again.

There are so many skills to learn today that business owners just do have time to learn them all. And that’s ok. That’s what I’m here for 🙂

I’m hoping that this post, and others like it will help people realize how easy it is to get started and incorporate these techniques into their everyday, online writing. It just takes practice, and after a while it becomes a habit.

Thanks for the powerful, yet simple SEO copywriting tips!

I’m amazed at how many people just never follow the basics.

Great job!

I absolutely agree, Kate. Even if your site ranks well in the SERPs, people aren’t going to stick around to read it if it’s sloppy and obviously written to please the search engines. Your visitors are there because they want to solve a problem. Help them with this and chances are good that you’ll succeed with your SEO.
