Thread: How to Make Your Article SEO-Friendly
🧵
1. Pick your topic/keyword. Then say it at least 4 times in your article.
Minimum: 4.
Maximum: 8, if you don’t want to sound like a broken robot.
Any more and Google thinks you're desperate.
2. Spread it out.
One mention in the intro. One in the middle. A few in the body. One near the end.
Don't stack all of them like keyword lasagna. Google doesn’t like clingy.
3. If the platform allows linking, use it.
– Link to your old articles on the same platform.
– Link to other writers (if you’re feeling generous).
– Add external links to your stuff elsewhere (if allowed).
Internal = traffic boost. External = flex.
4. Use active voice.
“Google loves active voice” sounds better than “Active voice is loved by Google.”
One makes you sound alive. The other sounds like you’re filing a police report.
5. Use headings with your keyword.
H2 and H3 tags are SEO’s favorite snacks.
“10 Ways to Escape a Bad Job” > “Stuff That Might Help You… I Guess.”
6. Write like a human.
SEO likes clarity. So does your reader.
Don’t sound like a college essay. Sound like someone who’s had a coffee and a thought.
7. Write for humans first. SEO second.
Nobody wants to read “best budget blender” eight times in two paragraphs.
Even Google is embarrassed for you.
