What is good article

[Derek]

Is write an article, how many words is good for search engine? Is splitting into paragraph make different and how many paragraph is good. How do you make the keywords blend in article? Thx

[hwang]

Uh...I think this has been discussed before. Try to stick to about 300-400 words long and not too long. Yeah, paragraphs do help and the best keyword density should be like 4 -6
% of the total words.

[Derek]

Thx hwang. That is very helpful. But why must we keep to 6 percent? Can't we go for more? The more the better. I hope so.

Google will consider it as spam or just ignore it. They will perceive that you are trying to take advantage and so they will slap a punishment for that. Better not do it. Over the limit is still consider Ok, I guess but experts have always say to keep to the limit.

I think the problem with to many keywords etc is that google etc picks it up as a dumping ground meaning it has less chance of getting in the top few which can be annoying if you have written an artical which is really helpful so you have to be creative with how you "market" it in a sense.

Try and use words which apply to more then one thing and try to avoid ones which will be rejected.

Ones which have little chance of ever being picked up on are:

Free
Money
Free money
easy money
online money
online
blog
blogging
writing

These are all bad things to put into a artical as "key words". Its hard to find out which is the best to use, just experiment with them

How us make keyword blend in article? Its easy. Do any article you think its good and easier to read and understand for yourself and others. If you think that article also hard to understand for yourself, what do you aspect from others? So, make it simple and easy. So, that article can bring more traffic and high revenue if you also run adsense.

Hmmm...Maybe what we can do is use combinations of keywords. If we just focus on 1 single keyword, then we might end up stuffing too many of the same keywords to the content. Try with different combination of keywords.

Thx. I feel I need to attend English class to teach me more advance english. My command is not very good and it can embarrass to find mistakes. I should attend night class. Hope this help me to write good article

Sometimes it's not just a matter of writing articles, but coming up with one which everybody loves to read. A good article has all the element to get the readers' attention and making them wanting for more. That's how I look at it.

I see not easy to write article and impress. Maybe better to use newspaper content and ask for permission. Good writer can write easily with less time but newbie like me is hard and take more time.

You can give a try. Nothing wrong with that and i believe many people also like you but some of them never give yo. So, give your best and try it again.

Practices makes perfect. The more you write, the better you become. I'm sure with effort put in to gain knowledge and attending classes you will achieve what you dream for someday.

I think a good article must have good content, has something to say, say it well and make it short. By all means, monetize it but do it in moderation and with taste and common sense.
