Why Internet Optimization Is So Much Fun
Search Engine Optimization. Doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, does it? Even when you call it SEO, it still just sounds so… technical. Thankfully, SEO doesn’t have to be some sort of dreadful thing.
In fact, you may even find that SEO is downright fun. Simply put, search engine optimization is basically taking keywords and using them within your articles or website text, and those keywords are the same as the ones the people try to search for when they use search engines. It’s really pretty simple. For example, if you are selling baby blankets, you would optimize your site for all the phrases that people tend to use when searching for baby blankets on the web today.
You’ll find that in many different ways, SEO can be fun. If you do it right, it really doesn’t have to be all the complicated. Once you look at the process as a fun one, you’ll enjoy it more and it will become easier for you. Need some ideas to make it fun? Well, one great idea is to start out just writing what you want to say in the text for your website. Don’t actually worry about the keywords or anything, but just sit down and write. Once you have completed the writing, go back and take a look at it. See how much you have already used phrases and words that are relevant. Then you can go back and add in more keywords that you’ve missed. When you use pronouns, such as “it” you can replace the pronoun with your keyword.
Of course while you are having fun with SEO, don’t go too crazy with it. Remember that too much SEO can be as bad as none at all. While it may look okay to you, it will make the text overdone. Usually you’ll find that it is recommended to have about 1-2% keyword density within your articles. Basically this means that for every 100 words that you write, you should have 1-2 keywords in that 100 words. So, if you write an article that is 400 words long, then you should have anywhere from 4-8 keywords in the entire article. When you are trying to hit the right amount of keywords, make it into a game and see how close you can get to the right amount the very first time that you try.
Yes, SEO needs to be well balanced, but it is nowhere near as difficult as so many think it will be. If you take the time to be well informed and you work at it, you can make SEO fun to work on. Just make sure that you do your SEO like you would chocolate chip cookies. You need enough chocolate chips to have great flavor, but if you have too many, you will have a huge mess. Remember this when working on SEO. Make it fun, keep it balanced, and you’ll find that the SEO just falls into place for you.
