Don’t let your content stagnate
Google are continually making amendments to their service to optimise the reliability and quality of their rankings, and it is widely agreed that relevance and integrity are things that continually need to be adhered to, especially when considering how vast the wealth of poor material out there is.
The latest changes to Google (once again) mean that fresh content is favoured, which means producing high-quality written work on a regular basis is key, rather than simply setting up a website with a number of articles then simply letting the content side of things stagnate.
Make your website stand out
When you consistently add fresh content to your website it demonstrates that you have your eye on the ball and that you are knowledgeable in your field. Well-written and engaging content makes your web content seem less ‘salesy’ and more informative and if they are enjoyable to read, they are more likely to be shared, meaning more traffic and sales in the process. When uploading product descriptions to your site, it is also beneficial to write original and fresh content rather than simply duplicating the manufacturer’s descriptions, which will be used by numerous companies. Original and unique content will make you stand out, and show you to be dedicated and enthusiastic about the items you sell (to both Google and visitors).
More likely to be shared
If you lack the time to update your website(s) with new fresh content on a regular basis, then it’s a good idea to invest in the services of an SEO copywriting company, who specialise in producing high-quality content with a robustly professional approach to grammar and spelling. It has been noted that since Google brought the recent ‘fresh content’ changes into the service, websites that aren’t as prolific when posting fresh content have started to see a loss in traffic, meaning that fresh content is even more valuable that it was before. Prolific posting may seem a chore, but continually updated websites show customers that you are engaged and involved with any developments that may be relevant to your service, and if articles are of great quality then they are more likely to be shared, leading to more traffic for your website.

Did you know?
Spottedpanda.com, in a recent article found that SEO works best when hyphens and commas are used as header separators (though some search engines are known to automatically remove the commas). Cutts argues that a search engine result four or five entries down a list is just as valuable as a leading one. Keywords should be in URLs to maximise their ranking in results (though the difference this makes in real terms is arguably marginal), and whether you use slashes or hyphens to separate keywords in a URL, there is no disadvantage to choosing between either of these. HTML sitemaps are also recommended in order to help both Google and individuals find out information. There is apparently no penalty for unleashing a multitude of pages at once.
Websites that write the ‘nofollow’ value into their html, are apparently not penalised for doing so when it comes to Google rankings and pages with a wealth of links are similarly welcome. 301 redirects (where a page is moved to another location) are not detrimental to search engine rankings either, although they should be used with common sense in mind. It is also advised that mobile web pages have their own sub-domain name.
More SEO advice
Cutts seems to emphasise the idea that typing anything into Google leads to an abundance of relevant and high-quality material, and that Google is constantly working to find new and innovative ways to maintain this. Whether this is true or not seems subjective, but it is good to know that the issues surrounding duplicate content are now cleared up. This information, coupled with the ‘+1′ button, a good tool to measure quality, means that the tasks of an SEO copywriter seem somewhat clearer and further enhances the idea that content of a well-written and informative nature is the key to SEO.
How optimised content secures both rankings and reputations
Whilst an attractive-looking website is still something of great value to a service, enhancing your reputation and image, it is the written content (SEO Copywriting) on a website that can be the key to optimising your ranking in search engine results. A wealth of keywords relating to the service you provide is the main tool used to ensure this, but the quality of the content itself adorning your website is perhaps the ultimate factor in securing hits, creating a buzz around your website and ensuring that your content is shared amongst social networks and forums.
Trust
Engaging and informative copy ensures that your service is trusted, seen as knowledgeable and ultimately becomes a trusted force, ultimately increasing sales and cementing your reputation. Generous use of keywords (with limits – as experts we know the correct keyword density to use) leads to a higher placing in search engine rankings, but search engines are increasingly becoming tailored to identify over-use of the same keywords, in order to filter out spam-like content. A plethora of different but relevant keywords relating to the same topic is a primary method of optimising your place in these rankings, so the message gets across in an engaging and non-repetitive manner and your ultimate placing in search engine rankings is not compromised.
If you have more money than time to write copy yourself, it is advisable to hire a respected writer to fulfil copywriting tasks on your behalf. However, if you are considering writing the copy yourself you must first ask yourself:
This helps ensure that the content on your site is of the same quality as the level of service you wish to secure, enhancing your reputation across the board.
The way you communicate with your audience online is crucial to elevating the image of your service and can be a make-or-break factor in terms of achieving the successes you aim for. This means that content needs to be trustworthy, reliable and credible. Search engines pick up on the popularity of your website as well as keywords so it is essential to make the content of your website as outstanding as possible.
Would you design your own website? Of course not! So why would you try to write the copy yourself (or the SEO articles/blogs linked to your site) if you’re not an experienced and qualified SEO copywriter?

Help your audience to know where you are…
When aiming for an optimum position in the search engine rankings, it’s vitally important that articles and blogs on your website are tailored as closely as possible to your target audience.
Are you visible?
If your target audience are unaware of you, and you aren’t coming close to the top of relevant search engine results, then it can be an uphill struggle to get the hits and traffic you seek to keep your service afloat. The main method used to optimise your position in search engine rankings is by tailoring your articles so that the keyword or keywords, and as many popular variations on them as possible, are found on your pages, blog posts and articles.
It is advisable to include as many terms and phrases closely related to the ultimate keywords and phrases as possible, and your keyword or keywords need to be in the title to optimise your website’s position in search engine rankings, ensuring that the search engine deems your article as relevant as possible to the keyword typed into the search engine. Other tricks used to enable this include the use of the keyword and related words as many times as possible in the first 90 words of articles so the search engine picks up on this, and also to make your keywords as specific as possible, rather than simply using a vague keyword around your theme.
Speak to the experts
However, it is best to speak to a professional SEO Copywriting company (like us) as we know the best ways in which to ensure your article is correctly written without a hint of spam, duplication or other such problems.
A method used to identify keywords that are relevant to your theme is to use a keyword suggestion tool – not only will this enable you to heighten your place in search engine rankings, but it will also allow your article to seem less repetitive, without compromising the ultimate aim. A strong closing paragraph will also strengthen the persuasion of your article, and prevent the feeling of it ‘tailing off’ towards the end.

How to gain customers through engaging copy
Web searchers can be faced with a wealth of inconsistent material when searching for information on a topic, and a reliable source can be difficult to identify when faced with such a barrage of web pages on a topic. Trustworthy information and articles that are enjoyable and informative gives your website more integrity and assures your service is held in high esteem, whilst cementing repeat visits. As your reputation grows, so does traffic and the number of individuals passing through your website. If you seek to increase sales, a customer wants to know that you are something of an expert in your field, which means that quality content is the key to your online success, meaning more hits are secured and ultimately more sales are confirmed.
A customer is more likely to associate your service with quality if every element of your service is consistent with this, not just from the products you sell, but the appearance of your website – essentially your shop window, and the image you put forward to sell yourself. This means that well-written and engaging content from an SEO copywriter is the key to an online promotional campaign, and an interesting article is likely to be shared on social networking sites and forums, creating a buzz around your article and therefore your service itself.
Though keywords are an effective tool to gain high positions in search engine rankings, a plethora of relevant terminology that search engines will still pick up on is often better than simply filling an article with over-zealous use of the same keyword, making your article seem more like a considered piece of writing and moving away from accusations of ‘spam’, making your piece sound less robotic and forced. Creative and engaging copywriting increases trust in services and ultimately enhances your reputation amongst an superabundance of competitors.

The Effect of Google + Button on Search Rankings
How the +1 button can create and measure an interest
The Google ‘+1’ button holds a wealthy potential in increasing a service’s ranking in search engine results. Its ease-of-use, together with its potency as a rating of a web page’s usefulness add to an indicator of web buzz and interest, two concepts known to feed off each other to multiply a service’s reputation in the endless field of the net.
The more ‘+1’s a page acquires, the more prominent a website is likely to appear in terms of relevance and quality which in turn adds to its ranking in Google search results. In tandem with Google + itself, this means that further ‘+1’s are likely to be generated after being initially recommended by a trusted source which means the value and integrity of a ‘+1’ is high.
A Growing Trend
Google + is a service that seems to recognise the growing trend of sharing over searching, and the ‘+1’ is an implication of online word-of-mouth and a pointer towards real appreciation and recommendation, as Google works hard to ensure ‘+1’s are genuine and not generated by abuse of the service, protecting their own reputation in the process and the reliability of their results as a whole.
Google + is a network where contacts are likely to be made on a professional and trendsetting level as well as on a personal one, so has the potential to be a very valuable and trusted resource and gauge of popularity, as it carves out its own niche away from somewhat unfair accusations of being a Facebook clone. The ‘+1’ button is a valuable promotional tool that has the potency to increase awareness of your service and build upon admirable reputations, if used properly.

The standards expected by article submission sites are extremely high, and getting an article published on one of these sites can be a foot in the door worth its weight in gold, not just for the service being promoted, but for the author themselves.
SEO Copywriting – Article Writing
Whilst blatant advertising is frowned upon, an interesting, persuasive and well-written article can be the key to a wealth of internet traffic, causing the reader to investigate further and build up multiplying levels of interest. The more articles that are accepted by an article submission site means the more cemented an author’s and businesses reputation becomes as both parties benefit from being associated with quality and integrity, with articles being linked to and shared via a variety of platforms, such as social networking sites and online forums.
Meanwhile, if an article is accepted onto an article submission site, certain guidelines are in place that respects the needs of each concerned party. The author’s URL and contact details are included in the final piece, meaning their services are advertised, and any links are kept in the piece, meaning that subsequent web traffic is made a strong possibility, and traffic for a services own website is likely to increase as a result.
People generally subscribe to Ezine articles as they want to be kept informed on the latest developments in their chosen field, whilst the strong standard maintained by such websites means that the service being promoted is likely to come to be more associated with rigid expectations of quality. If the article is a considered piece, it will not read as obvious self-promotion and therefore acts as advertising, albeit free of charge, and if an article is enjoyable, it inevitably creates more interest in the services of both the author and what is being promoted. All in all, Ezine articles provide a service that benefits all those concerned and are a unique way of maintaining up-to-date communication with your desired audience.
