SEO Article Writing Mistakes Many Experienced Writers Make
Writing quality content for the web is much different than crafting content for a magazine or print
medium. Even many experienced writers make mistakes when it comes to SEO article writing.
Part of the problem comes as a result of a lack of writers staying up-to-date with the changes
that are occurring in the ways that search engines like Google are indexing and ranking website
content. Writers also make mistakes simply because they don’t know any better, haven’t been
told or are unaware of a particular change that may have occurred in the industry standards.
Writing for Search Engines
SEO article writing is about more than just appeasing the search engines. The number one
mistake that an article writer can make is to write content that only has the search engines in
mind and does not consider the reader as part of the overall content strategy. In fact, some
pros recommend that when writing content for SEO purposes, the absolute best thing that the
writer can do is to forget about the search engines all together and focus on writing what the
reader will want to see.
Generating Bland or Boring Content
SEO article writing should not be boring or bland! If the content is boring, lacks interest or is
otherwise bland, your readers will not engage, they will not read it all, they will not share it and if
they do comment on it, the comments will likely be bad. The sad truth of the matter is, many
SEO article writers shift their focus from writing for people to writing for the search engines and
when this happens, boring content is almost certain to arise out of the mix.
Copying Content in Any Manner
Even experienced writers make mistakes, especially when it comes to copying content. It can
be challenging to find a new twist on an already saturated topic when writing an SEO article, but
the challenge is what will make the content exciting. No matter how many times a particular
subject has been approached, it’s important to find a new, exciting, un-discovered twist to the
topic in order to keep readers interested. Remember, even SEO articles should be written with
the reader in mind!
Poor Linking
SEO article writing is not just about providing high quality, engaging content to the reader. It’s
also about showing the reader and the search engines that you are an expert in the subject
matter. Poor linking, such as linking to other sites that lack quality content or that do not relate
directly to the content that is being viewed can leave a reader, and the search engines, feeling
cheated. It’s important to always make sure that links take the reader to other pages that will
provide relevant, high quality content that highlights that topic at hand or provides some added
insight that is worth taking the time to read.
Poor Grammar
It cannot be said enough, poor grammar turns visitors away and reduces credibility no matter
what the topic. Even SEO article writing requires that close attention be paid to the grammar of
the copy and the wording throughout the page. Content that is riddled with mistakes can
dramatically jeopardize the credibility of the writer or the website for which the content is
published on. Since Google Authorship and other elements of today’s ranking algorithms focus
heavily on creating a persona of expertise and credibility online, grammatical errors cannot be
tolerated.
