There was a time when keywords in any article were paramount. Without such then your article did not have any chance in SEO. You were not ever tecognized as a writer. Many writers could heap keywords in their posts which ended up to be a hindrance rather than the boost intended. This was due to the fact that search engines controlled writing online. Normally ads were the ones that paid online writing. Things are changing.

Keywords And Your Article!

A keyword and an article are like twin brothers. One cannot go anywhere without the other. Keywords do boost your SEO and ensures that your article reaches the outside world through this Search Engine Optimization.

What Are Keywords In An Article!

As the word suggests it is like a key to your article. The way a key unlocks a lock and so a password unlocks your article. It is a word or a group of words that when they are typed in Search Engines, your article appears. It identifies or optimizes your article with others of the same calibre.

Where do you put Keywords in An Article?

What an interesting question? The keyword should at first appear in the title of your article and article URL. It should also be featured in the summary or meta description of your article. Why not it also be found in the body of your article especially at the beginning paragraph and the ending paragraph too.

The Number of Times a Particular Keyword should appear in an article.
Yes, how many times! Here, I mean the body of the article! One can use the keyword about four times. Remember overusing the keyword will saturate your article and it is not advisable. Likewise using few keywords will also underrate your article. Subheadings should have the keyword too.

How Many Keywords In an Article?

We need to know how many keywords should be put in a standard post. Should you use one, ten or a thousand? As we indicated earlier, it is a word or words that are identified with your article. Supposing one article of three hundred or one thousand two hundred has one hundred keywords? It will be that your post will be made up of keywords only. Another problem will be that every word will be identified to your post. I suggest then that we put one keyword for one standard post.
