Sometimes we rush straight in without enough time on this essential element. Do it right and you have a great chance of raking in the cash.

But also write for your visitors. When you do this and have your keywords in the back of your mind it's surprising the amount of LSI words that fall into your writing. I believe LSI is the way forward with onpage SEO. Keywords keywords keywords, ignore them at your peril.

I'm glad that you think that keywords and SEO are important. Quite a few bloggers pay no attention to them. I agree that just relying on those is not enough but they help a lot. I'll work on improving on the other points. Vance Hi Justin,

Even when it's not needed. If you're using it for outbound click tracking, there's no need. There are tools to track clicks even without obscuring the links. Regarding #9 (outbound linking): Some people are so stingy with outlinks, thinking that their precious PR "juice" will get dissipated that they don't link out. What they don't know is that PR is only part of the ranking equation. If you search for "lenovo removes sysrq key" you'll find my article on that topic at #2 in Google. I link to the #1 and #5 sites, but I still outrank the #5 site (Slashdot). Regarding #10 (Javascript): What I find amazing is how some sites use Javascript even for simple, normal links.

The optimum balance between a well written article/post (with the human reader in mind) and the carefully researched SEO worthy keyphrases relative to the topic is almost like an art... hence the difficult time many people have in writing non-boring content. However, I have a suggestion, if I may... not necessarily for your personal benefit as much as in fact intended for your readers. Mix your content wisely. Research a few good topics to become the backbone of any website and write more SEO focused type of content on them, especially in the beginning, when you build the first pages of a website/blog. Later on, forget about SEO as your main concern... at least in the traditional way it is seen by many people. I don't say absolutely do not target a keyword or a few, but most important would be to write with your human reader in mind. Think about it - what use is there to a website that pops up first in SERPs for the given keywords, if visitors will only pass by and say it's not worth reading even the first paragraph? Tip: If you don't feel comfortable with that, then write the SEO optimized article first... then re-write it in a way you would like to read about the topic yourself. Re-write it again if needed. Add a bit of flavour, a bit of your soul in there...much more worthy like that! There is no better strategy than to develop a long term relationship with your readers. Your Internet Marketing Objectives must not deny you being still a normal person with normal human feelings. Let them show up! Steve Lorenzo SEOVirtuoso in a sharing mood... ;-) John…

I have narrowed most of my marketing down to Article Marketing, Seo, Blogging, and Social Bookmarking. All four of these things go hand and hand for me. For those that do article marketing, I recommend article base. Article base allows you to use three links inside you article body, something that I have not seen with other article directories. This will help you with your page rank, especially if you link the right keywords. To Your Success Good Post, Content is very important in this industry.
