Invasion of the Keywords
All Hail Keywords. All Hail Keywords
Recently I was reading some writing on the web, this site in particular, and came across a number of articles written for the web that were so heavily keyworded that it got me to thinking - in my own writing for the web I should use keywords the way these authors did. I should replace every original thought and pronoun with a keyword. Using keywords should help my writing for the web, shouldn't it? After all keywords are important. Keywords are good. Keywords make writing for the web more focused, easier to find, and much more entertaining to read.... Don't they (i.e. keywords)?
Are keywords bad when writing for the web? Are keywords good when writing for the web? Are keywords a necessary evil when writing for the web? These questions about keywords and keyword usage are answered in the keyword tips below.
Writing for the Web Keyword Tip One
Keywords are easy to use when writing for the web. Just remember if you use keywords in a clever way, it's virtually impossible for spot keywords. They (keywords) don't stand out at all when keywords are properly utilized.
Besides no one really reads writing for the web that doesn't have keywords; after all, how could anyone find an article written for the web that doesn't properly utilize keywords?
Writing for the Web Keyword Tip Two
Use keywords in bolded titles like the writing for the web keyword tip above when you are writing for the web. This use of keywords ensures that your own writing for the web seamlessly integrates your keywords into the article you have written for the web.
Writing for the Web Keyword Tip Three
Using keywords instead of pronouns is a great way to maximize the number of keywords you use when writing for the web. Any writing for the web that substitutes pronouns with keywords is a much better piece written for the web.
Writing for the Web Keyword Tip Four
Keywords. Keywords. Keywords. That's what's important when writing for the web. It's the location, location, location definition of success. What's good enough for real estate is good enough when writing for the web. Just repeat that over and over. Keywords. Keywords. Keywords.
Writing for the Web Keyword Tip Five
Keywords make your writing for the web sound so much more natural than not using keywords in your writing for the web. Just take this article written for the web as an example. Articles on writing for the web using keywords read much better than articles written for the web about writing for the web that don't use keywords. The important factor in writing for the web using keywords is to remember that keywords add clarity to your writing for the web. A well-written writing for the web article with proper keyword usage is indistinguishable from other articles written for the web that don't use keywords.
Writing for the Web Keyword Tip Six
Use a summary to increase keyword density. Those extra keywords tacked onto the end of any article written for the web adds much-needed keyword density to your article written for the web.
Summary of Writing for the Web Keyword Tips
Just to recap. Writing for the web requires the proper use of keywords appropriate for whatever you are writing for the web. Keywords (or keyword) usage makes your writing for the web much clearer and much more entertaining. Keywords are not bad. Keywords can make your writing for the web much better. Keywords let the reader know what you are writing for the web about. Keywords make sentence construction much easier than not using keywords in your writing on the web.
When you are writing for the web using keywords, writing with keywords and using many keywords will help your article shine in ways that other writing for the web that doesn't use keywords, include keywords, integrate keywords, focus on keywords or properly place keywords.
Thank you for reading my writing on the web about keywords. Keywords are literally the AC writier's best friend when it comes to writing for the web even if your topic is not about keywords. And if your writing for the web uses keywords (and keyword phrases) properly, no one will even notice how you included so many keywords in your writing for the web.
So remember the key word in writing for the web is keywords! Keywords!! KEYWORDS!!!

Post a CommentI love keywords...
kewl...
Too funny!
Just came in to comment on the excellent selection on the accompanying picture Although I'm pretty well-versed on kw,kw density, lsi, etc., since it's you, gonna give it a read since you know what you're talking about.
Thanks Zac. As far as keyword density -- I don't know. I don't check it. This was just a rant of sorts after reading several AC articles so chock full of keywords that I simply couldn't continue reading -- some of which were my own.
way to use "keywords" will haha
Thanks Sundance. By the way, please note that tip one should read -- "virtually impossible for someone to spot keywords." Also, leaving out necessary words is a great way to boost keyword density.
Good job Will! What was the density? Since the internet will be replacing other sources of information in the not too distant future, I'd be interested to know if you think the complete dumbing down of America is nearly complete. Will those among us who are followers be finally trained like Pavlov's dogs when they hear the keyword? Will the pronoun cease to exist because we simply don't need it? I'm scared! Nice way to make a point.
