I came across this video when I was searching for ways to increase traffic to my website.
I found a few clues to use simple article writing to accomplish my goal.
Google has again changed the way it indexes content so what was OK in the past, does not stand a chance today. I want a simple way to write articles that will survive the future changes and I found some great tips in this video.
I do not endorse the product advertised here simply because I have never used it. The principles explained require no fancy software though. It is up to you whether you need to follow through and explore the software mentioned. I am happy to share my traffic with them, if viewing the video does increase my traffic.
There Are Four Major Parts To Simple Article Writing.
Keywords: Long-tailed And Short.
Keywords used to be the only requirement to getting Google to rank an article. It is still very important and it makes good sense to use keywords effectively in your simple article writing. Something I learned from the video was the use of semantics. Semantics is using your main keyword and related keywords to fulfill the end result. No longer do we have to follow the rigid tactic of seeding your simple article with keywords. Keyword stuffing was frowned on early in the game.
Now you have a keyword and a select group of other related keywords that you can draw on to compose your content. Using Google’s own Keyword Tool is great for that, but there is another free tool that will give you related keyword suggestions as well. The Google Contextual Targeting tool. Put in your keyword and it brings up a listing of related keywords you can also use. The further you drill down the more related and effective the keywords can become.
Spelling, Format And Grammar
We are, after all, doing simple article writing. You just can’t get around the fact that spelling , grammar and format are not important. They are. Content may be king but if the wording and the format does not allow a reader to gain access to that content, you will loose them. That is not a way to increase traffic and that is the goal. You don’t have to be perfect. Make sure you break your article into paragraphs and sections. Use heading and sub headings to pin point content. Use good English and grammar. It is quite simple after all.
I feel the reason Google is now using grammar as part of the criteria is to avoid the use of automated content generators and content spinners. These software programs are notorious for spewing content that has all the points of a good article but it reads terrible. Those that use spinners and auto-content generators beware. You may be wasting your time, poor quality content will not increase traffic.
Content Relevancy
It stands to reason that good relevant content is the goal and is a primary way to increase traffic. Here I learned a simply formula to great content. Start with the end in mind. Formulate a question or target a problem and lead the reader to the end result of solving that problem. Simple article writing at it’s best.
Links
There are two types of links to be aware of. Links that connect to other articles in the same domain or website and those links that connect to other sites on the Internet. It like having an intercom telephone where you can either call someone on another phone in the same house or call out to anyone in the world. Having both types of links is beneficial to increase traffic to your site.
Providing the solution to the question is the goal of the article. At the end of each article after you have provided the solution, link to other articles on your site that offer similar content that the reader may also like or end the solution with a new question and give a link to that content. This is a simple way to build your links both in house and offsite. These links are just another way to increase traffic.
In conclusion we have shown that there are four parts to simple article writing. With these four parts working together, you’ll see that they increase traffic to your site by allowing Google to rank your page higher in the search index and by referrals from other site via the links your provide.
