The most time consuming task any SEO or SEO Agency will undertake is the process of link building. Building links soaks up so much time that having a tool that can identify achievable, authoritative on topic links is invaluable. Over the years we at Doublespark-SEO have tried all of the tools out there, with varying degrees of success.

Last month we signed up for a 7 day trial with a new tool InfluenceFinder, we have used it on a number of projects so far, and without doubt it’s the best too we have tried so far, and have signed up for a regular monthly deal. The speed in which we can now identify quality links has now reduced by such a margin that this tool is giving a great cost saving.

I’m so impressed that over the next couple of weeks I’ll be writing a full review of the product.

Want to attract huge targeted traffic to the website, improve search engine ranking or build credibility online, start writing keyword rich articles catering to your business. Writing keyword rich articles and distributing them online is one of the successful SEO techniques.

Keyword rich articles allow the website to convey their information and content to the popular search engines and that too in the most effective way. For instance, if a customer is searching for some information regarding buying a new pair of golf shoes, the terms that will be often used include best golf shoes, top golf shoes, cheap golf shoes and other related keywords. Greater the number of articles with these top searched keywords, higher will be the ranking of your website.

Here are 5 tips to follow for keyword rich articles:

Tip 1

The best way to add targeted and highly searched keywords is by finding highly used keywords with the use of keyword suggestion tools like Overture, Word Tracker and Keyword Discovery. This contributes tremendously in knowing the total number or volume, a particular keyword being searched or demanded by the web users. Take for example you wish to know the targeted keywords to be added in your article about “keyword rich articles”, these tools will show you the result of numerous keywords such as keyword rich, keyword article, web article, keyword writing, RSS feed and web content and their popularity. One can also look at the competitors’ view source page of the website to get appropriate keyword suggestions.

Tip 2

One should also use the keywords that are more specific rather than less specific ones. Let us take that you are about to write an article as freelance copywriter fees. Your main aim should be to add the popular keywords that are linked to the respective topic and not the general field of copywriting. Freelance copywriting or freelance copywriting prices are much used and beneficial key phrases as these keywords will be actually searched by the users. But on the other hand, freelance copywriting is a very general keyword phrase and might bring up a large number of high ranking websites than your informative and appealing website.

Tip 3

One must ensure the title of the article should be keyword rich, as it is also one of main focuses of search engine spiders while crawling the websites. While making keyword rich title, try to build the title by starting with the keyword. For example if your article is on benefits of credit cards so make a title like Credit Cards- 5 benefits to avail.

Tip 4

It is also imperative to make sure that you add the most targeted keywords in the very first 80 to 90 characters of your article. This will definitely help in making the search engine spiders to focus on your article and give it a high ranking.

Tip 5

Another crucial tip is to fit the keywords in the starting and last paragraphs so that the readers can stay connected with your content and increase its overall readability.

A good SEO knows that search engine optimisation is just a means to an end. Once you lose sight of that, it is very likely that you will someday end up lost in strategies and methods that are out dated and cannot compete with newer and more efficient strategies that deliver what the client really wants in the end – conversions. This is true because you will be focused merely on generating more traffic when what’s more important is getting traffic that will result in action that your client needs, which is more often than not purchasing a product or service. In some cases, the action your client needs might not be a sale but signing up for subscriptions (free or otherwise), signing up for campaigns, answering polls or survey, giving out contact numbers, etc. Whatever that action is, as soon as the visitor does that action, you can call it a conversion.

SEO exists because clients need a way to rank well in search engine results pages in order to get a good sized traffic, which they hope will end up in conversions. What this means is that while getting tons of traffic is good, the traffic is useless if none of them end in conversions. The funny thing is that with all the interest in SEO, there is relatively very little interest in conversion rate optimisation (CRO), as if having a higher conversion rate will not directly lead to increase in profits! I am not putting down SEO, not at all, but might point here is that as SEOs, you have a great opportunity to extend your services to something that will benefit your client even more through conversion rate optimization. As an SEO, you are already helping them with the very crucial step in getting the traffic they need, why not branch off by offering the additional service of getting that traffic to actually turn into profit?

Whilst it great to have lot’s of new users sign up on a daily basis, I have been getting irritated by up to 50 emails a day telling me that a new user has registered.

Having spent some time looking through WordPress settings and not finding a way to switch this off, I started Googling.

Came across this plugin:
