How do I write for SEO?
-
Hi there,
I am starting to write a blog and I wanted to know how to write for SEO correctly? I have been reading a lot about this subject lately and I found very different opinions in terms of length and keyword use.
Could you give me some advise about this?
Thank you!!

Best thread ever.

Choose your subject, select your primary keyword, search and find the article that ranks in the top, write a better article than that

Hi Lucy,
The best way to 'write for SEO' is to take your subject and produce the best page on the internet, ever.
Once you're happy with the page, start to include keywords or phrases your audience might connect with, or search for.

Here's the technique I use.

Hi Lucía,
I was just watching a video that you might find useful. Rand Fishkin created a Whiteboard Friday article titled: What does it mean "Write for SEO" in 2018? I think you will find the answer to your question there

Will SEO Blogs Divert Traffic from Main Web pages using same keywords?
Our company has drafted several SEO blogs using certain keywords. If we post these SEO blogs to our website and social media channels , and the blog keywords are also used on our main website pages, will the blogs divert or dilute traffic to our main web pages? Thank you for your expertise and insights in advance.

Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?
Good day. I am writing articles for submission, I would just like some help with the page structure. Do I only include the link for the page that I would like to promote or is it advisable to include other page links, such as home page or the parent category too? Any help would be appreciated

Is this a worthwhile SEO tactic?
Many 'list' articles break down so that number one is on page one, and you are asked to click 'Next' to see number two. Number two is on page two, etc. For example: http://www.prevention.com/health/health-concerns/12-replacements-high-cholesterol-foods Is this done simply to keep bounce rate down? Is it something I should try, or is it frowned upon in any way? Will it help bounce rate? If it's a good practice, how would I do this in a Wordpress blog post? Thanks!

Hidden text that's not really "hidden" - seo
Hi guys, I have a question for you about a thing I saw on a website. I've attached the prints.
Content Development | | ricardomargalho
They have like "hidden text". It must be good for indexation, they can
target a lot of important keywords in it, and still keep the website
"clean".
Is this penalized by google if discovered? Do they see this as black hat? Thanks, Ricardo ?name=Captura+de+ecra%CC%83+2012-08-11%2C+a%CC%80s+06.00.36.png ?name=Captura+de+ecra%CC%83+2012-08-11%2C+a%CC%80s+06.00.36.png ?name=Captura+de+ecra%CC%83+2012-08-11%2C+a%CC%80s+05.59.56.png0 -
