Storytelling means sharing information in a way. However I guess we all grew up listing stories. I still wanna become an astronaut, and I don’t mind being lied to, that I still have a chance 🙂

A person who knows how to write while keeping his viewers entertained is a talent. I know some SEO sites who embrace the informal ways of writing. These sites gain large amount of regular readers. 🙂

Short answer; when engaged in activity to get you found by active buyers, stick to the facts and let the story take a backlink. When you’re working further up the funnel seeking fame or when talking to your fans, look for ways to more aggressively promote your story. Why? Because when stories are crafted well they get re-told/shared. Make sense?

Great article, Mandy! I’m currently in a three-way debate with a client and his Web developer about whether SEO articles need to be engaging or not. The Web guy says “No” since their main purpose is SEO. I say “Yes” becasue we can’t assume that those articles will be read by search engine crawlers alone. Your post definitely adds power to my argument.
