Just What is an SEO article?
Copyright 2006 Mark Nenadic
What makes an article SEO? The use of a key phrase or keywords
sprinkled liberally throughout a pile of gibberish? That does
work, occasionally and if you've ever done your search and
pulled up a page that had absolutely nothing to do with what you
were looking for, then you were likely taken in by the
duplicitous use of SEO articles.
SEO articles increase the search engine worthiness of a website.
In fact the catch phrase of many web designers is content,
content, content. Developing quality content is important for a
web site whether it sells vitamins, candles, kids clothing or
photography equipment.
Since the Internet still possesses a large number of
possibilities for entrepreneurs, setting up a one man shop
operation to sell any type of product to an audience that can
span a continent or several is entirely possible. Setting up a
website is integral to any business and not just the big boys. A
part of setting up the ideal website is to make it SEO
compatible, allowing search engines to not only find the website
but deliver it in response to various search parameters.
Imagine opening a small storefront in a local town and providing
niche items. The likelihood of finding customers is there, but
you won't be doing a $100,000 plus a year in profits in the
first year by limiting to a local market. Adding a website
expands the market to a wider area. Funnily enough, people in
the local market may very well shop the website when they might
not even have driven to the store! But when a business opens
their Internet doors to commerce, they need to populate their
presence across the search engines and that is where SEO
articles and design come into play.
SEO articles are how businesses can increase their web traffic
through visibility to search engines. Niche stores can offer
decorating tips, craft advice and more. By using key phrases in
entertaining and informative articles, their SEO articles
fulfill a two-fold purpose: increase their visibility to search
engine spiders and giving customers a reason to surf in and then
stay. The possibilities for content creation are as limitless as
the imagination and it doesn't take a large company to deliver a
good product or good content, it just takes a little wherewithal
and creativity.
