Keyword Articles - What’s All The Fuss About?
By admin | July 12, 2007
Keyword articles are by far the most common ghostwriting job that you will receive so why is it that many people are confused by them?
Keyword articles are articles that are created around a series of words (keywords) given to you by your client. The majority of these articles follow a strict set of guidelines that include primary keywords, secondary keywords, keyword variations, and random keywords. When writing these articles you will be required to use the primary keyword once in the title and once in the first paragraph and that is it. This keyword should not appear anywhere else in the article.
If your article contains secondary keywords again these are only used twice throughout the article and should appear in a sub heading and once throughout the article.
Random keywords are words that can appear anywhere in the article but should appear naturally.
If the keyword article you are working on contains keyword variations these are what the density of your article is based on. If you are writing a 300 word article and the keyword denisty required is 3% then your keyword variations should appear 9 times throughout your article.
Keyword variations are a variation on your primary keyword so if for example your primary keyword is buying handbags, your keyword variations could be something like buy handbags, buy handbag, buying handbag. Now I know that some of these keyword variations might not be the easiest to work into an article but you don’t have to use all three. You can use just one or two of them as long as you meet the density required.
Articles that use keyword variations normally don’t contains secondary keywords or random keywords but if they do the same guidelines apply.
If you are serious about your ghostwriting career then keyword articles are something that you will definitely have to get to grips with. There is a complete section on keyword articles in the Ghostwriting Uncovered Manual so if you haven’t already purchased this book maybe it’s something you should put on your to-do list.
Until next time,
Keep writing.
