SEO Writing

SEO or Search Engine Optimization is about improving the amount as well as the quality of traffic driven by search engines to your website. The better the page ranking, the better the probability of searchers visiting your site.

What then is SEO writing? One strategy for improving the relevance of your site is by placing interesting content which the search engines' crawlers can easily index. Certain keywords within a page are often repeated to increase the keyword count and density.

The SEO writer's responsibility is to write an interesting article while incorporating the minimum number of certain keywords. If you are asked to use a keyword at least 15 times in an article, then you have to make sure your article is still cohesive, interesting and not redundant. Although not totally immune, search engines are better now in combatting spamdexing or keyword spamming so writing an article specifically for SEO really entails a lot of creativity.

Most of the articles I've written, although meant as website content, did not pressure me to use certain keywords often. I was allowed to write whatever is related to the topic as long as I make sure the article is within a specific word count. After all, a site could be banned by search engines if they are caught keyword spamming.

Writing Essays

Writing essays could be more lucrative than simply writing articles for web site content. However, I am not comfortable doing this kind of work. Personally, I feel like I'm encouraging students to be lazy.

I think there are those who have valid reasons for paying somebody to write essays or other school paperwork for them. Maybe they are swamped with too much school work, got sick or whatever. But the things is, you have no way of knowing who is worthy of getting your assistance and who is merely capable of paying the fees for your services. Having been a student myself, I do believe there's a reason why teachers require students to do such paperwork.

Being a parent, I am not going to encourage my children to let somebody do their essays for them. I would prefer them to do their assigned work responsibly and expect them to give their best in everything they have to do.

Article Writer

Article writers are in demand nowadays. There are so many wanted ads for all kinds of writers online.

Writing articles could be lucrative if you are creative and fast. It could also be fun and educational. On the dark side, it could be stressful and mentally exhausting.

I've had my share of writing articles for web site content. I had no prior experience as a writer but I felt like I had the knack for it. In my opinion, I was able to write some pretty good articles, considering I was assigned topics I absolutely knew nothing about. My only problem is, I hate deadlines. I'd like to take my time and really get myself immersed into the subject matter. After all, it's not just simply writing but it also requires sufficient research.

Simply put, writing articles was not a good earning opportunity for me because I can only do at most 2 articles in a day. I was paid a little over $2 per article but there are others who write for only a dollar per article. However, I'll probably take up writing again if I run out of other earning opportunities.
