Keyword and SEO vs. Assocaited Content- tell me 3 things.....

1. Write about popular topics. You may have a lot to say about an obscure frog in South America, but people want to read about Hannah Montana. 2. Write your article, then count how many times you've used the keywords you're aiming for. Rewrite until they're at least 10$ of the text. In other words, if you write a 600 word piece, 60 of the words should be a keyword. 3. Use your main keyword in the title and in the subtitle if you can do it without it sounding awkward. Use it more in the first paragraphs because that's where a search engine looks first, but try to sprinkle it throughout the piece. Hope that helps. I haven't written for AC for quite awhile, but I have several articles there that are doing pretty good.

I write too for AC and I'm learning as I write,. I have found a very good article on that aspect. It is written by jcorn at AC. Perhaps you can visit the site and search for it there. I forgot the URL. He writes a lot about many things which are very inspiration and informative. I've learned some tips from him. From what I understand, you could use the first paragraph of your article as the "come-on", it worked for writers there. Good luck with your writing, we can link and help each other out. happy new year.

The 64 thousand dollar question... I have writer's block and SEO troubles too. I've been with AC for three years as well, started my fourth year in August and my writing comes in spurts. I watch the CFCs and I also get calls from another site that I gave up on writing for but I keep getting the calls for inspiration, but still nothing. All I can suggest is ask other people what they want to read. This is something I got off the forums. Ask friends and family, colleagues what they have tried searching for and not found what they needed. Then go from there. But thanks for bringing this up. I would like to see other's suggestions as well.

Thanks for starting this thread. I am new at AC, so the info that has been provided so far will be helpful for my development on that site. I'm going to add this thread to my favorites list so I can find it more readily than my responded threads, and hopefully find out more ideas.
