    Search Engine Optimization… Not Just Keywords Anymore

    google-searchYou are probably aware that your success as an online writer hinges on your ability to write content that is both compelling and “discoverable”. Put simply, if search engines can’t find your article then readers can’t either, but if it’s not compelling no one will bother to read it.

    Sometimes it seems that you must compromise in order to get both, but a skillful writer knows how to weave the two together to create intriguing and discoverable text. It is a skill that is honed to perfection (or nearly so) by successful online writers who have taken the time to learn about SEO and put that knowledge into practice.

    Many new writers mistakenly believe that carefully placed keywords are all it takes to rank high with search engines and spend time crafting an article with the proper keyword density, only to discover that their work does not rank high with search engines.
