A Complete Study in Writing Good Articles for SEO - Part II
Try to use a really strong article description When you write your article description make sure you use your main keyword in the description and to use supporting keywords (LSI) so that the search engines will index your article correctly.
By doing this it will help with your search engine rankings.
What on earth does LSI mean? Latent Semantic Indexing.
Right, what exactly does that mean? LSI can also be referred to as Latent Semantic Analysis and it is basically a method to identify relationships or patterns between words.
Most search engines use this method to help categorize your articles but more importantly the engines expect other associated keywords that are related to the main subject or topic.
I have mentioned in Part 1 about the Google AdWords Keyword Tool.
It's a great tool for finding keyword combinations and associated keywords (LSI).
There's a free tool for finding these word sets at Google Sets all you need to do is type in a few keywords and it will output relevant keywords to the one you typed.
You can then use these keywords in your article.
By doing this you will not only enrich your article but also provide relevant keywords that the search engines expect to find within it.
For example.
