By this point, you should have targeted some keywords from your research and you should see your articles showing up somewhere in the search engines, but since you’re going to want get more traffic to your articles, you’re going to need your articles to be listing higher in the search engine listing.

Now that you’ve decided on what keywords you’re going to focus on, you’ll need to add those keywords to your articles. You’ll want to be careful when doing this because the search engines have gotten hip to people stuffing keywords into their articles. Stuffing keywords into articles is considered spamming and you’ll get delisted in a hurry should you go this route.

What you want to do is insert your keywords in a way that does not appear unnatural. In other words, you want your keywords to flow smoothly throughout your article. Also, you want keep your keyword density in the 1% – 3% range. Put simply, one “short” keyword (2-3 words) and two “long” keywords (4+ words).

Picking up from my last post, researching keywords isn’t really that difficult and while there are many keyword research tools out there, Google’s Adwords Keyword Tool is the tool of choice when it comes to researching keywords. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Google is the most popular of all the search engines out there.

Now, there are 3 things you must keep in mind when conducting your keyword research because they play a very important role in determining what keywords you’re going to target. Those are:

# of Searches

If you’ve already figured out that this simply refers to the amount of searches for a given keyword, you’d be absolutely correct. Simply put, if a keyword or keyword phrase shows a high number of searches, it shows you that people are showing a high level of interest in that particular keyword or keyword phrases. If that’s the case, then that keyword or keyword phrase might be one that you’d be interested in.  Read more... (536 words, 14 images, estimated 2:09 mins reading time)

Continuing from my previous post, I’ll now go into a bit of greater detail on the first of the 5 elements that make up a successful article campaign. Keep in mind I’m no expert and am sharing what I learn with you as I go.

Let’s get right to it then, shall we?

Basically, keywords are simply words or phrases people use when searching for any particular subject online. The phrase “keyword density” refers to the amount of a certain keyword or phrase per 100 words. Essentially, the more keywords or phrases, the higher the density and vice versa. Google and the other major search engines use a mathamatical algorithm or equation to determine your search engine rank in relationship to the keyword density of your article. Now, each search engine has their own algorithm but each of them use their particular equation to determine the search engine rank of a blog or website and that’s why you might rank higher in one search engine and lower in another.  Read more...

The definition of email marketing is the use of email in sending newsletters, offers and other content instead of more traditional methods (phone or direct mailings). Because of spam, online merchants have gone to great efforts to ensure any electronic communications do not come accross as such.

Given these troublesome aspects, how is it that email marketing has become such a valuable tool for marketing a product or service?
