What Readers Want

The importance of SEO is clear. Visitor traffic is necessary to run any website. And ranking well in search engines is one of the good ways to attract more traffic to a website. There are lot many techniques that can improve the amount of visitors to your website. You can hire an expert to SEO your website or you can learn and apply the techniques yourself. But sometimes, in this process, the content becomes unnatural i.e. it loses its flow that binds the user. Keeping some guidelines in mind, this can be avoided and good SEO content can also be appealing and interesting for the readers.

These days, how readers react to your website off-page has become increasingly important. But this does not diminish the importance of keyword rich content on your page. The keyword phrase should appear on the webpage several times to show its relevance. Of course, you don’t want to compromise on readability just to increase your ranking. The good news is you can do both. You can write a good, interesting, compelling, and engaging and keyword rich content at the same time.

The keywords should most definitely appear in the title. The title showcases your content. The title should have the keywords and also should make a promise to the reader. It should develop an urge in the reader to read the entire content. The opening of the text should be keyword rich as well. It is on the basis of the opening paragraph that the readers will decide whether to read further or not. A promising opening will engage the reader. Also, it is also used as a summary by most search engines. So, it should be the best, but also not reveal too much and develop curiosity. It is highly recommended to use the keywords in the sub titles as well.

Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid too general information. Readers are looking for specificity. The more specific and concrete the content is, more it is liked by the readers. The goal of copywriting is to persuade the reader to take some sort of action. This should be remembered and the content should remain relevant and meaningful in the quest of adding more and more keywords. The write up should naturally and seamlessly take the user towards a conclusion that seems pretty obvious.

The reader should never become aware of the repetitious use of keywords while reading. If the text is interesting to read, it will also accomplish its goal.
