Self SEO > Copywriting Articles

Are you one of those who copy and paste articles daily from other blogs and websites and still waiting for an increase of incoming visitors, but likely see no result? It's normal that people are simply grabbing content from other sites and paste on their own sites but, to be honest, I can tell you it won't work. Even if you did post it very early, just 2 hours after the original site did, you page will still end up ranked lower than it. The key matter in great seo content writing is that not as simple as copy and paste. Follow the following to ensure you keep a good attitude in online copywriting.

Write the less competitive one
As I said, before you write, always do a search on the Internet to see if a lot of websites have done the same topic. A "how to rank high on search engine" topic can be so competitive that there are already 32,100,000 websites writing about it. In this case, always try to change the title. You might do something like "how to get high ranking online". This has 10K websites containing the information, which is a lot more less competitive than the previous.

Sit down and take some time writing
After deciding your topic, sit down and make yourself believe that self writing will pay the price. Writing an article is time consuming but if it can rank high, it's worth it. A good proper formatted article is valuable on the Internet. By saying good format, it means that you should have proper h1 or h2 titles, underlined or bold on the keywords, proper related outbound links in your article and widespread keywords with the right keyword density. Always keep your keyword density between 3% and 5%. The more will result in spamming look by spiders.

Related outbound links
Don't neglect the importance of outboound links. A website without any outbound link looks suspicious and abnormal to search engines. The key fact is, only keep related links on the page. For example, an seo related article can only contain links to seo related websites. Before you write the article, go to Google and search for the topic you are going to write. Look at the top 10 ranked websites, analyze their content. You can copy some of their content and paste them on your site, but do put a reference link back. This is a good chance to include related outbound links in your article. Widespread your links throughout the article.

Promoting your article
After you have written the article, it is now the time to promote it. One thing you can do is visit blogs and forums and open a discussion about it with link, pointing back to your web page. Please only do this on content related site, webmasters do not like people leaving links of unrelated content. Secondly, you can submit articles to article directories such as eZine, etc. Many webmasters actually copy and paste these articles, some even have automatic tools to update their sites using new articles posted on those directories. This is a good way to improve your website's link popularity because there is your homepage link below each article. You should also put a short bio at the end of your article to encourage people visit your website.

In conclusion, good rankings do not come from nothing. Putting hardwork on it should guarantee you rank well. If it doesn't, there must be something wrong. Have you changed your url, title, directory structure, etc? Always don't make changes on these things once you have posted. Keeping a good attitude on blogging, writing online should give you a chance to see the ligh on top.
