Natural Keyword Dropping

Posted on September 9th, 2007 by IBabel under SEO

Since this is my first blog as I have always had targeted sites, this is my first experience with really diversing and typing naturally and often. And one primary thing i’ve noticed is how the best way to get ranked, well, is to just type for humans. It’s been said over and over and it’s true, don’t write to optimize for search engines because for a start it wont read completely naturally to the average person. And if it’s Internet pros reading your blog then it’ll be obvious and they’ll just read another blog. It wont become anodyne reading because it’ll be to formal and everyone writes like it, they try and drop in relevant keywords, they plan to. Which is fine, obviously optimize to a degree, SEO is a good thing. But I think focusing more on that than the issue of making your writing original and fresh is wrong.

If you write naturally and let it flow as it comes, it will seem spontaneous and fresh to people reading it therefore making it better to read. Which is the reason I don’t edit much at all once a post is finished. I type and let what comes out come out so it’s as spontaneously written as possible, doing this also helps your brain diverse as much as possible, naturally, whilst staying relevant therefore dropping in keywords naturally without noticing. Also you’d be surprised what people search for and what you can get picked up on maybe not because of PR or backlinks but simply because your content is so unique that Google prefers it to the copied, duped and predictable stuff.
