Writing an SEO article is never as simple as it seems, but with the knowledge of what search engines look for in text of articles, you can quickly learn how to write powerful optimized articles that bring in big results.
How do the Search Engines find my articles and pick keywords?
Search engines scan your site and link to your articles based on the keywords present in the articles, so before you start writing your article make a list of the keywords you want to target. If you have a website based on African Safaris, your list may look something like this:
African
Safaris
Vacation
Honeymoon
Choosing the right keywords can be difficult because people, not machines are the ones searching for the keywords in your articles.
You can overcome this by using SEO tools that provide sample keywords for different phrases and common search terms. Most importantly, write as many articles as possible. An article on African Safaris focusing on American tourists would have different keywords than one focusing on European tourists. Another variant would be an article focusing on first-time visitors to Africa, and even another article on those who have visited before and plan to go back a second or third time. This ensures that everyone looking for information on African
Safaris finds your articles and your website.
How many keywords should I use?
You should try to focus on 3-5 keywords in each article. If you choose too many or too few keywords, the article can become difficult to read and not effective. Once you determine your keywords, you can look then focus on the density of your keywords. Keyword density refers to how often you use the keywords in your article. Aim for one keyword used in every three sentences. This makes search engines see your article well, and makes them easy to read by humans as well.
How long should I make an SEO Article?
The length of an SEO article can vary, but most articles are about 500 words in length. Articles can be shorter of longer, depending on what you plan to use them for. A blog entry would need to be shorter, around 100 words, while a long story could be as long as 2000 words.
For general website promotion, try to have several shorter articles instead of one long one. This creates the appearance of more pages on your site, and also creates more links to your site in the search engines. If you must have a long article, try to break it up over several pages so that the multiple pages are generated in your sitemap for the search engines.
Varying your keywords can lead to higher search engine rankings for your articles. Instead of an article with the keywords ‘african’ and ’safari’ everywhere, create a second article with ‘africans’ and ’safaris’. This will ensure that no matter what search terms people use, your article will be high on their search results list. You can also use variants of your keywords in the same article – this may even
come naturally as you write the article since we write in normal speech patterns.
And finally, be sure to use proper spelling and grammar while writing SEO articles. Making sure the articles are easy to read can lead to links to your articles, giving you even more exposure.

Will Google Chrome Win The Browser War In 2009
0There are a lot of reviews of 2008 and predictions for 2009 when we step in the New Year.
That Google released its own browser Google Chrome ranks in the top 10 software news in 2008, and some experts predicts that Google Chrome will take up a market share of 10%~15% in 2009. Google Chrome is great, but it is not easy to change old routines and make users switch from their current browsers. This prediction will come true or not? We will keep an eye on it.
Google Chrome is a wonderful browser with a simple and clean user interface. It is quite different form IE 7 and FireFox 3. Based on the features of Google Chrome, can it win the browser war in 2009? We will review the special features of Google Chrome. And I have made a demo with DemoCreator to show these features.One box for everything:
The address bar is also the search box. And it automatically suggests related queries and popular websites based on your input. It is a multifunctional box.
New tab page:
This is not a blank page. It shows us the Links to websites you visit the most, recently closed tabs, and recent bookmarks. It is quite useful for me to find the most visited websites.
Application shortcuts:
This feature enables users to create an easy entry for the special website service.
Dynamic tabs:
For better experience, you can change the tabs position as you want them to be. And Chrome also allows dragging tabs apart, to create separate windows.
Crash control:
If a page breaks in Chrome, it won't take the browser with it, so although you will have to reopen that crashed tab or window, you won't have lost anything else you are doing in other tabs or windows.
Incognito mode:
If you don't want pages you visit to show up in your web history, just choose incognito mode for private browsing. It can protect your privacy.
Safe browsing:
Google Chrome warns you if you're about to visit a suspected phishing, malware or otherwise unsafe website. I was supposed to show you this feature in the demo, but I could not find a sample website like this for a test.
Instant bookmarks:
Chrome simplifies the process of bookmark adding. Just click the star icon at the left edge of the address bar and you have got it done.
Importing settings:
It is easy for you to import your browsing history, saved websites, and passwords from your default browser to Chrome. It reduces the troubles if you switch to Chrome from Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Simpler downloads:
When you download a file from a website, you can your download's status at the bottom of your current window where you can monitor the progress of your downloading file.
There is a new and innovative browser choice for users. Google Chrome does deserve a try. To make some software guide video or website demo, DemoCreator is available.
