Hence coding should not hamper movement of the user as well as the robot that is the algorithm used by the search engines to index and rank sites. The robot should move around the portal efficiently and should be able to cache all that can help in indexing and ranking.     

User friendly architecture should include friendly easy to remember URLs and should not end in #$`..RRR as most dynamically programmed website do.

Using Keywords in Search Engine Optimisation

Keywords - Content & Link Building 

Keywords are compact group of words and phrases that impart information about a topic. They may be descriptive as well as deliver context about a topic, service or product. To some it up few words define a whole gamut of meaning.  

Keywords find major use on the Internet on the websites and blogs and elsewhere. A medium where short text is read more than long text a keyword would inform the visitor on the SERP what it is all about rather than reading whole descriptive text. The keyword than would prompt the visitor to move on if that is what he or she is looking for on the Net. 

Keywords also called search terms are central to any written text, domain a naked link and a short tweet. 

When writing content the search term usage is bound by rules. Usually the first line should contain a search term and so should the last line. The headlines, title and description should contain the terms as well. But the rules intervene and do not allow repetition of terms beyond a certain limit. This may be a guideline of search engines but overall purpose is to create good contents - readily and interesting. Just imagine if you encounter the same word again and again in an article ...you will certainly be disgusted.    

With the increasing popularity of LSI the content writing for visitors and the search engines has taken an interesting turn. Unlike before were keyword infested contents were tolerated the current change has made writeups more natural. Hence whence writing text you should do so naturally any forceful intrusion of text would be frowned upon and possibly lead to a penalty.    

Keywords are most targeted by SEOs or webmasters in copy of website and blogs. The limitation applies to them as well. For external link building repetition of search terms surely leads to a penalty.

Therefore anchor text usage demands that you use primary or exact match terms in limitation and supplement it with long tail and partial match terms. Using brand name in anchors is again a good idea.

Remember the purpose of links is to add information and if done properly using an authoritative site you get lots of juice for ranking. 

Keyword usage is part of content creation for marketing. The terms should arise after extensive research and the relevancy should not be in question. With passing of time webmasters realize the terms most used by visitors in search. Proper usage leads to readability and information which attract natural organic linking for better ranking.

Contextual Link - Inline Linking - Keywords

Contextual Link

A contextual link is placed on chosen words in the sentence usually surrounded by more content in article or blog entry or micro blogging entry etc. The chosen words are naturally occuring the keywords that highlight the link and offer information about the website or blog. 

These connects carry greater weight whence surrounded by relevant search terms. Unlike links in the footer or sidebar they are rarely ignored by the visitors and are also valued highly by the search engines.   The is done during external or outbound links as well for internal linking in website for on page seo. The inner links are crucial part of architecture of a website and also carry some juice.

Note* I do not resort to inners if the web page contains links to footer or sidebar in order to avoid spam.   

Contextual links are placed in order to provide further information which is unique and relevant. These whence placed in the body of the content blogentry/article/webpage also invite organic linking which is most respected by the search engines. Hence you have to create appealing contents with unique information which the visitors would like to visit again and again.    

Inline Linking 

Also known as hotlinking this is called a piggy back ride where in an external piece, image is connected back to the owners website or blog. As a matter of ethical practices the owners permission should sought before creating the inline connection. Albeit you are not destroying the copyright you are still using the other parties band width as well as may be presenting images in blurred form. The owners may not like their content/website displayed on yours for myriads of reasons.    

Keywords : Anchor Text 

Keywords are words and phrases associated with the contents and are relevant. They are part of the language as we process naturally and are compact source of relevant information. Whence embedded in a link they are termed as anchor text.    

Code Example: Anchor text shown in red. 

<a href="xyzabc.com">keywords</a>

Contextual links containing anchor texts are indispensable source of information to search engines. They index and rank websites based on these links plus a whole lot of metrix embedded deep in their algorithms. But misuse of keywords or anchors can lead to penalization.

Content is King! Make it Rule!

I am not going into the nitty gritty of grammar or structured narrative. What appeals sells! But still you cannot ignore the basic rules of writing whence you create content. Keep in mind readability and the user appeal when creating informative articles. Extensive long write ups are not often read completely.  But yes there is much more to it for creativity and innovation are the buzzwords for success and they apply here as well.  

But research and deep knowledge of the topic is a must for advertising content creation uses glib in which the copywriters working for Ad agencies excel. They are paid for it. The art of writing should not necessarily be frivolous it can be informative, revealing and descriptive. Also master the art of writing headings, subheadings and titles these are conversion and eye catching tools. They are essential for formating as well act as keywords for search engine optimization.      

As far as Internet Marketing is concerned content creation is absolutely essential. But you must remember that consistency in a campaign is very important. Constant publishing of content and regular sharing or book marking is required to reach potential web saturation. Topic relevance is an absolute must you have to stick to the topic. This can be seen in blog writing professional blog writer restrict blogs to the topic of their expertise. Hence create blog for a specific topic. Writing ability means able to pen down writeups on diverse topics for this a research methodology has to be followed.  

Content can be created on website, blog, user content creation sites, ebooks, article sites, forums and microblogging sites like twitter and facebook. You can publish articles in LinkedIn as well. Short piece of contents are directly pasted on social networking sites along with images, videos and graphics. 

Like I said earlier expand your creativity to reach a level whence it becomes appealing if you wish to be a success online. Writeups are not only for link building they are powerful explosive conversion tools besides they create awareness for brand building. 

It is important to create different write ups each time, this is what makes the task time consuming and onerous. Do not repeat the piece becomes boring and lack new information!

The old adage stands like eternal truth whence writing is concerned. Practice makes a man oops also a woman perfect. Practice a lot by constantly writing this is the best sharpening tool.
