    Thanks for the awesome blog post Erwin! Amazing tips indeed. What do you think about some folks that focus too much on keywords and lose focus on content! Should we write valuable content 1st then check with key phrases?

    Thanks buddy! Valuable content should always be 1st. Build off your main keywords when starting and don’t let it consume your article.

    Good Shot, Erwin; I feel that I am still learning — always learning — how to tweek not just my headlines, keywords, and tags, but making my blog valuable content-rich without over-loading it. I’ve heard too much of a good keyword thing can be bad for my blog. Is this possible?

    Thanks Erwin great info! And I agree, content is king – and I know we hear that all the time, but it is true. Also I am finding that content in your comments is also very important. Recently, 3 clients found me from other blogs where I made comments on. Keywords are certainly important, but as Yusuf mentions and you agree …. valuable content is always 1st. I really enjoy your blog!

    Hey, Thank you for the kind words. :)

    Hey Saber,
    If what you mean by “good keyword thing” as Keyword stuffing then yes. If you start “stuffing” keywords throughout your blog thats not relevant to that particular post or page then it can hurt you. When search engine spiders starts to crawl your site and find keywords that are not relevant to that particular page then it sends a red flag and will hurt your ranking. I can go more in details on this subject but I hope that answered your question a bit :)

    Erwin,
    I had to reply thru here ’cause I’m at work and the ‘net is restricted,
    preventing me to get to your blog….
    Yes, “stuffing” is the word, so my next question is — and I understand
    the 90/10 content/offer ratio thoroughly — is there a ratio of keywords and
    phrases to the total number of words in any given blog?
    Chat w/U soon Bro!

    Hey Erwin!

    Thank you for submitting your content to the Building a Brand Online Link Roundup!

    I like your point on making the blog readable and easy to digest! Some people get so carried away in providing all this awesome value that the reader gets lost and overwhelmed before they even get into the juicy stuff.

    Valuable points! Thank you for contributing,

    Avram

    Thanks Erwin! I love that our freshness is what helps via social media =)

    Curious, do you know the site which shows us what type of writing style it is in… and if thats a good or bad thing.

    Thanks much. ~ Marcelle

    Marcelle, I totally agree! Thanks for coming by and checking my blog =)

    In regards to the site your asking about. I haven’t really found a specific site that would tell you the type of writing style a certain article is in but I’ve checked out http://www.useit.com/papers/webwriting/ Ignore the lack of design of the pages. They give out fairly good information in how to properly write on the web. I hope that answered your question.

    Stay Awesome.
