If I were to give tips to an aspiring SEO writer, I would assert that the most important element of SEO writing is that it reads naturally.  An SEO writer can follow all the right steps involving keywords, but if the writing does not integrate these in seamless way readers will be turned off and search engine spiders will ignore the content, as they are trained to think and read based on human models.  The next tip I would give is to make sure keyword research is utilized.  It’s vital to understand how keywords are being ranked by search engines, and where the targeted sites fall within these rankings.  I would also suggest that they use keyword prominence and proximity to the fullest extent.  These two techniques enable a writer to use keywords more dynamically and more often.

Writing an SEO-friendly article requires a few key steps.  First, you would need to do keyword research to determine the search volume of the keyword or keywords.  Keyword research would also show you where your targeted site is ranked compared to other sites utilizing the same keywords in search sites like Google and Bing.  Keyword proximity would be the next factor; you would want to make sure keywords are placed in the headline of the article, as well as the URL and page title.  Keyword density and frequency would be other important considerations.  While you want to avoid sounding redundant, repetitious, or unnatural, it’s important to include keywords with a high density and frequency, since both factors are pivotal to search engine algorithms.

I would write the article to take advantage of the relationship between what drives organic rating algorithms and my keywords.  This would be done through keyword research, the article would be written based on the reported outcome of the research.  The piece has to be well-crafted to draw the reader in as with any written article.  

Remembering that words are all that really matter to a “bot” I would make sure to select the best keywords for it to find that relate to the article.  The article has to flow, I should be aware of the number of times the keyword is used, no more than 2 or 3 times in an article of approximately 400 words.
