The document outlines strategies for effective SEO by emphasizing the importance of keyword placement without compromising content quality. It provides three key tips: leveraging social media for traffic, creating audience-focused content, and avoiding keyword stuffing. The focus should be on valuable information and proper content placement rather than solely on keyword optimization.

2. The Battle of SEO: Placing keywords
within your article to “get noticed”
by Google, without over-doing it or
making it obvious.

3. An SEO strategy is
tricky and depends
upon creating that
perfect balance
between keyword
usage and creating
compelling
content.

4. Squeezing
random words
in here and
there just
makes your
article look
funky. How can
you fix this?

6. Here are 3 Stellar Tips to help your SEO strategy

7. Focus on how
to be social,
not how to do
social.” – Jay Baer

8. Tip 1:
Social media is your
best friend

9. “When you create attention-grabbing posts and
your followers click through, Google notices
your site’s traffic spike, and you boost brand
awareness.” (Forbes Magazine)

10. After creating content,
strategically place it around
social media.

11. Focus on what time your target audience is
online, where they receive their information and
what types of articles they usually opt to click-through
on social media sites.

12. Don’t focus on throwing keywords in your post,
focus on the placement of your post.

13. “SEO is a marketing
function for sure, but
it needs to be baked
into a product, not
slapped on like icing
after the cake is
baked.” – Duane Forester

15. Tip 2:
Write content your
audience is
interested in.

16. Your content should
obtain information
that will engage your
audience, while
being both valuable
and informative.

17. If you prove yourself to be an expert in your
industry and post content that your readers find
enjoyable, then they’ll keep revisiting your
website.

18. This means that you should write
about information regarding the
industry, not your company. Don’t
be a narcissist blogger.

19. Focus on providing useful information, not
squeezing in every keyword.

20. Tip 3:
Don’t stuff keywords
into your posts

21. This may seem fairly obvious after the first two
tips, but keywords should not be your focus.

22. SEO is awesome, but it
shouldn’t be the
number one concern
when creating
content.

23. Keep the keywords in the back of your head when
planning content, but don’t have that keyword be
the sole reason for a post.

24. It’s more important to
focus on who you’re
writing for, where you’re
placing the content and
what information you’re
providing, than what
keyword you’ll be using.

25. View your SEO
strategy as a
“guideline” for the
topics your target
audience is most
likely interested in.

26. “Authenticity, honesty, and personal voice underlie
much of what’s successful on the Web.”
Rick Levine

28. Bottom line: If you focus on creating amazing
content and place it strategically around the web,
then your target audience will click through and
your blog will achieve the traffic that you want.
