Search Engine Optimization: SEO Advice

To earn money writing online articles, short stories and poetry you must follow SEO rules.

Why?

Because you want to be on the top of the first page of the search engines!

Be honest do you bother to go any further than the first page? I don't.

One of the Best Ways on How to make money online

The first thing is to write the best article short story or poem you can.

Good quality content is important for your reputation as a writer online.

There is no point having a great article, web page, website or blog if no one can find it on the Internet.

How to use Search Engine Optimization

You must follow the rules of Google and Yahoo if you want to sit back and enjoy increased traffic to your articles online and increased cash made from writing online.

You have written a great article online. Pity no one can find it.

You can have a wonderful article published on the Internet with the correct grammar and spellings. You can supply all the facts and include photographs and videos to back up your article subject.

The rules are simple to understand and easy to implement.

Here are some tips to help you with your quest of How to make money writing online.

The Url is the first most important thing to get right.

If your article is about games on Facebook the correct placement of keywords in your URL is essential.

Think of how you would go about looking for information on games on Facebook.

What would you type into the Google or Yahoo search engines?

Would it be Games on Face book or Facebook games?

What happens when you type in Facebook only?

If you do this now you will see that the first keyword is Facebook login, Facebook, Facebook applications, Facebook search etc.

You will not see games anywhere here because that comes under applications.

So I would suggest a title and url for your article on facebook games would be: Facebook applications games. Best games previewed.

Or if you are writing about a particular game, say Farmville then it would be: Facebook applications games.

Farmville game on Facebook reviewed and explained. The length of the URL should never be longer than ten words.

Heading and keywords

Now you need to repeat these keywords in the title of your article. This is also a must in order to increase the traffic to your article online.

It is no good just repeating the keywords without making it into a good title. Let’s use our Facebook url as an example’

Facebook applications games. Farmville game on Facebook reviewed and explained.


I would write as the heading for this article:

How To Play Farmville Game: Which Facebook Games Applications Are Best. Rules And Cheats Reviewed And Explained For The Beginner:

As you may have noticed each word starts with a capital letter. This is because Google and other search engines take this as each word is highlighted as important. Result = You get more traffic.

A catchy title is no good to get lots of readers to your article.



It looks good and is grammatically correct but quite useless for getting traffic to your site. Think about what you type in when you are doing a search for anything on Google or other search engines. Use plain language and type in a sentence that is commonly used.

If these rules are followed you will definitely see a major improvement in your traffic and readers and therefore earnings from writing articles and blog posts online.

You have written a good heading and included all the keywords in your url.

Keywords in the text that increase the traffic to your webpage and article

You also must include these keywords in your first paragraph

You could say: I enjoy playing the Facebook game Farmville.

So I have decided to write about this Facebook application here.

I play this game for hours on the internet so feel I am experienced enough to give my views on it.

The rules are explained below and I have also reviewed some of the best ways to get gifts and FarmVille cash.

The above example shows in bold how you have included all the keywords in the first paragraph.

You must do exactly the same for the last paragraph. Write a summary of your article and include the keywords above.

The correct Tags

Tags are also very important for SEO. The correct tags puts you higher up the Google and Yahoo pages, the higher up you are the more people will click on your url.

The words to include must be all in your url and heading. Also any others that are in your article that also connect with the keywords and url.

Increasing traffic to your website.

Once you have learned the rules of keywords, tags and correct URLs then you as an online writer needs only to produce a good quality article, short story or poem.

The search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing will find your writing online and put it up there high on their search pages.

Readers will then search for the topic you have written about and your article, poem or short story will be read.

A satisfied reader is more likely to click on the adverts and this is how you as an online writer can make money online.

These rules of SEO are important to follow in order for you to get cash for working online.

So if you learn how to increase traffic to your articles, blogs and websites you learn how to make money online writing.
