Writing articles for the internet is not like writing for other media.
No one will ever read your articles if they can't find them and no one will find your articles until you master the concept of keywords.
Keywords are the words and phrases people enter into Google or other search engines to find information on a particular subject.
Remember, no one is looking for your article, they are looking for information about a particular subject.
Let's suppose you have an article writing job for an article about barbecue grills.
You'll want to use the keyword "barbecue grills" several times in the article, once or twice for every 100 words.
Then when people type "barbecue grills" into one of the search engines, they will be more likely to find your article.
Next, you can become more specific.
Are you writing articles about propane barbecue grills? Then use the phrase "propane barbecue grills" in your article.
Are you reviewing a particular brand of grill? Use the brand name.
People will be searching for it.
The more specific you can be, the more likely it is that someone will find your article.
It is important that your keyword be used in the first few words of your article.
You want it to be very obvious to the search engines what your article is about.
Put it right up front where it can be seen.
Use it in your title.
You want the search engine to see it but you also want your reader to see it.
You want him to know your article is about the subject he typed into the search engine so he'll read it.
The idea of using keywords does not apply only to writing articles.
If you are writing blogs, writing reviews or any internet writing jobs, you'll want to master the use of keywords.
Remember, when writing articles or anything else on the internet, keywords are the key to success.
