1. Research. First thing to do is to understand what it takes to get an article show up on top of search engines listings. What you can do is search any keyword on Google. Then, pay attention to the first article that you see on search page result. Read it over and over again. Your goal here is to identify the SEO techniques that were used in this particular article. Through this, you'll know what you need to do to properly optimize your own copies. Also you need to Identify the popular search terms in your chosen niche using keyword suggestion tools. List them down and convert them to article topics. For example, if you want to target the phrase "cheap wedding gowns", you can create an article that offer tips on how future brides can find cheap but high quality wedding gowns. 2. LSI technique. The next thing to do is to identify the terms or phrases that are synonymous to your chosen keywords. Taking the "cheap wedding gowns" for example, you can consider using "affordable wedding gowns" as they have the same meaning. 3. Learn from SEO experts. If you have the time and the money to spare, I suggest that you take advantage of SEO seminars that are usually conducted over the phone. Through this, you'll be able to speed up the process of learning the ropes of SEO article writing. Write down useful tips and techniques that you can surely make use of. 4. Always use keyword suggestion tools. Even if you think that you know the keywords that your target audience might use when searching for information that is related to your website, I would still recommend that you use keyword suggestion tools; just to be sure that you'll get reliable data. 5. You can make your articles search engine-friendly by using Meta descriptions and HTML codes, by using anchor texts, by following the recommended keyword density, by knowing exactly where to put your keywords, and by using latent semantic indexing technique. 6. Write your articles. Forget about the keywords first when writing your articles. Focus on giving your readers what they deserve; high quality, useful content. 7. Optimize your articles. Start by inserting your keywords on your titles. These should be the first words that your readers would see. Instead of using the title "Guide to Finding Cheap Wedding Gowns", use this instead "Cheap Wedding Gown: Guide to finding One". Then, insert your keywords on each of your paragraphs. It's best if you can insert them on your first sentences. This way you can help the search spiders in easily locating them. 8. Keyword density. Right now, search engines' acceptable keyword density is 2% of your article word count. That means, you'll be allowed to use your keywords 6 times if your articles contain 300 words. 9. Use anchor texts. When permitted, convert the keywords that you're targeting to anchor texts. Highlighting them and making them clickable will surely make them more visible to search spiders.
