In order to be helpful to searches and better than the competition, requires getting a number of facts, straight in your mind, and then onto your page, before you hit the publish button. To be better than the competition, and most importantly, helpful to searches, requires you to make certain that you have covered the topic being written about, fully. This means, adding relevant keywords and keyword phrases to your articles. You’ll need to think of any questions searches may need answering. Including your keyword selections, written so that anybody could understand.
Use Relevant Keywords
relevant keywords
Relevant keywords and relevant keyword phrases are important to both searches and the search engines.
Search engines require title tags, to accurately reflect, what your page is about.
Searches use your titles as one of the distinguishing factors, when it comes to choosing which result to click on. Your titles are critical in giving a searcher a quick glimpse, into what your article is about, and in helping the searcher decide wether it will be relevant to what they are searching for.
Answer questions searches might have
When drafting and writing your posts, it’s imperative to keep in mind, the questions that searches, on this topic, might have.
Before doing your final edit for your post, have a re-think about the topic you are writing on and ask yourself this.
If I was writing this for a twelve year old, is there any questions, that they might ask, that I have not answered in this post.?
What would searches query to find me: Include those keyword selections

What is industry jargon type keywords and keywords?
Often when companies write about different things that are specific to their business, they will forget about the people that might be searching for this information. The people that probably don’t know the industry jargon.
For example, you might remember when you first started looking at advertisements for your blog and seeing CPM written everywhere. Very few will explain further, the meaning of CPM or cost per mille.
Eg: from Wikipedia
CPM may refer to:
- Advertising
- Cost per mille, the advert cost per thousand views
- Cost per impression, the online advertising cost per thousand views. M=1000 in roman numerals, so CPM = C=Cost P=Per M=1,000 as in banner advertising, you pay for each 1,000 ad views your banner gets.
How many of you actually knew that the mille in-fact stood for the M = 1000 in roman numerals. Well you do now. Don’t you think, searches would be more likely to return to a site that was thorough with their terms, making certain that their posts used all the words that everyone could understand, rather than just the words that the in industry crowd can understand.
