Keep Up Your Keyword Density

When choosing a topic for a successful blog you need to try and focus you topic as best as possible. This will give you the most chances to be higher ranked in Google Search Results providing you with more traffic.

Although this may sound easy to accomplish for beginner blogs there is often too much temptation to stray from the topic of choice due to writers block, wanting to blab about your recent victories, or a number of other reasons. As a blogger with little time to waste on matters that don’t add positively to your blog I suggest fighting the temptation as best you can to blog off topic.

As you begin to blog more and more about your niche topic you may also find yourself writing as though the topic is implied. Although this may save you time while writing it will, in the long run, hurt your search result rankings. One of the best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tips you can follow is to keep up your keyword density within you niche topic.

Take for instance the blog in our network Wicked Backhand. We could easily omit referring to the word tennis since the site itself implies that it is a tennis focused site and words like stroke will refer to tennis stroke rather than paintbrush stroke. However, writing tennis stroke will help search engines “remember” that they are dealing with a tennis article and when someone searches for a tennis stroke we will have a better chance of being near the top of the results.

Don’t over due it though. You could easily write a keyword 50 times in an article but that borders on spam and search engine algorithms frown on that. Now we don’t know the magic keyword density number but as long as your sentences make sense you should be set.
