In my last post I discussed how to write keyword articles so in this article I want move on from this and explain why keyword articles are so important.
As you know, keyword articles are the most common ghostwriting job that you will get and there is a reason for this. Clients actually need keyword articles. Keyword articles are used in SEO (search engine optimization) and clients need them in order to rank highly in search engines.
When people search for something on Google or any other search engine the results that they get are based on these keywords and the websites that rank highly usually contain content that relates to your particular keyword.
When search engines are ranking website pages the first thing that they look at is the title meta tag of the page. This is where the primary keyword should be placed so that is the first step for clients when they are optimizing their websites. The next thing is the content and again this is where keywords come into play. The primary keyword is again used in the title of the content on the page and once again in the first paragraph. Most website owners will put this keyword in bold or italics to highlight it better.
By now you should be starting to see the importance that your keyword articles play. Keyword articles are basically used for search engine optimization and this is extremely important for any website owner yourself included.
Keyword articles are also used in submissions to article directories and these also help with search engine ranking. In the resource box most website owners will use their primary keyword as the anchor text for the link back to their website which again helps with search engine optimization. The more links you have to your website, the higher you will rank in the search engines.
Keyword articles are extremely important and something that you need to understand fully. You are going to come across them time and time again during your ghostwriting career so I suggest you take some time, read some articles, practice writing them yourself, and if you still can’t get to grips with them, take a look at the keyword articles section of the Ghostwriting Uncovered Manual where they are explained fully including examples.
What’s your opinion on keyword articles, do you think they are a waste of time or something very valuable?
Until next time,
Keep writing,
Amanda
