SEO Copywriting – Rules to Write By

November 15th, 2009

Rule #1 – Never…ever….EVER…think you can stop learning. I’ve written for clients and thought, “This is the greatest copy I’ve ever written.” Only to read it later and think, “Wow. I am doing WAY better now than I was before.”

How do you get better?

Read, read, read. I make it a point to learn from the best in the business.  It’s not about asking questions all the time, it’s about asking the RIGHT questions that will reveal the tried and true methods. What are they doing to make their copy better? What is it about their vision that makes what they write “click” all the time? The answers to these questions help my job to make visitors to your website, customers that much easier. If all I did was write all day, the odds that I’d miss something that could boost your sales increases by the day.

With Google changing and Bing rising, having copy that speaks to both the SEs and your target audience is even more critical. They change and so do good copywriters.

The Trouble with Copywriting & SEO Content Experts

September 3rd, 2009

The more research I do, the more it seems as if there are a whole bunch of people who profess to know everything there is to know about Search Engine Optimization. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from all this research (besides the fact that many “experts” have very thin skin), it’s that no one really has all the knowledge, or the answers (well, maybe except for Google!). There is no SEO Holy Grail!

The truth is, the rules can change on a dime. Staying on top takes continuous effort. Take a look at some of the top websites and the competition that may be outranking you on certain keywords or key phrases. None of the those sites are stagnant. There is always new an interesting content to being promoted or new pages written. There’s a good reason for that…the search engines like it!

It takes hard work for websites to be successful. Thankfully, I have been fortunate enough to learn from some very smart people about SEO and even they would tell you that they don’t know everything.

Why Having Unique Content for your site is important

August 29th, 2009

Having unique content on your site gives your business a greater chance getting on the first page of Google, Yahoo and Bing. Hiring a copywriter that constantly creates new and interesting content for your site can also ensure that your business has a better chance of staying on top as well.

But, what makes up unique content? While I could go on and on about this subject, I think the guys at SEOmoz do a much better job breaking it down why unique seo content is a critical part of having a sustainable and lead generating website…

Keeping SEO Simple

August 7th, 2009

One rule that I try to follow is the KISS rule. Basically, if you haven’t heard of it, KISS stands for Keep-It-Simple-Stupid.

Sometimes I fail miserably at following that rule, but when it comes to SEO, I try very hard not to overwhelm my clients with jargon, code, and terms that make any one’s eyes glaze over.

If anyone asks me for details, I’d definitely help them out, but for the most part, as an SEO copy writer, I try to stick to what I do best, writing relevant content that will drive traffic with qualified leads. Obviously, the more qualified leads that contact you, the better chance you have of landing a sale, or becoming that resource that you want to become.

In order to do this one thing must happen before anything else:

You must have substantive content that focuses on a few keywords that are relevant to your unique business!

One example of this is wikipedia. Type in any term into Google and, more often than not, a wikipedia page will be on the first page. Why?

Content, content, content…..and MORE content!

Wikipedia is constantly expanding, growing, and in the eyes of Google, updated and, therefore, important (I’ll try and write a post on this soon…).

Ultimately, your site needs new and relevant content in order to either rise to, or remain on, the first page of Google.

More to come soon!

Why hiring a blog writer is a good idea

August 7th, 2009

Having a blog is a critical aspect of SEO. Many of your competitors may have a blog. Some are using it with great results. Others haven’t updated it in months, maybe longer.

If you have a blog that’s gathering dust, or if you’d like to start up a new one, then hiring a blog writer is a great idea.

Why?

Well, one of the main reasons that people fail to maximize their blog’s full money-making potential is because they:

  1. Don’t have the time to update their blog
  2. Bang their head against the wall because they run out of ideas
  3. They’re just not confident writers
  4. They don’t understand how a blog can both positively and negatively affect a person’s business

That last point is critical. Setting up a blog and making sure that it’s filled with relevant content is absolutely critical. This is where hiring a competent blog writer is a good idea.

How do you know you’re working with a good writer?

Listen to the questions they ask. For instance…if they don’t even care to ask, “Can you tell me what you, or your best salesperson does to land a sale?” or, “If you were looking for your business online, what would you search for?” then, you may not be talking to someone who will do a good job for you.

Needless to say, if the web copywriter that you are considering DOES ask those questions, then you know you’re talking to someone who understands SEO and what it takes to get your blog, and your business higher rankings in Google.
