There is a lot of competition for eyeballs in today’s niches as so many people today want to work from home to make extra money and most of them are trying blogging.

Everything you can do to to make your blog better than the next is only going to help your work at home business.

The kind of traffic you get to your blog is important, even vital. The wrong traffic will arrive and wonder why they are there. It’s seldom a non targeted visitor will stay on your blog and even less often they would ever click and make money for you. It takes targeted traffic to make a living online today.

There are millions upon millions of web pages, which of course include blog pages, that don’t get any target traffic at all. The only good thing about these blogs is the fact they are no competition to you.

Getting The Right Keywords First

Blogging success takes proper keyword research and takes time. Using paid tools like Keyword Elite is how I get the task of keyword research done faster and more efficiently but it still takes time to find the best keywords for right now, not 2 years down the road.

Know that you are looking for your best keywords, not the top keywords that top marketers have been using for 10 years. It’s going to take a long time to out rank them if you’re only starting now.

Get the keywords right and then be sure to give your readers what they are looking for and that’s usually helpful and informative blog posts. But it doesn’t stop there. You also have to keep your readers on your site long enough for them to click through so you make money or get a new subscriber, something positive.

What does matter however if that you know how to SEO or optimize your articles (posts) for search engines in order to get as much targeted traffic as it takes to meet your goal. For me, as a I work from home and blog for profit it’s about making money.

Keep Your Reader Long Enough To Get The Click

1. Oh Many My Eyes Are Burning

I’ve seen a lot of pages, not just blogs, that are not designed for human readers. I am not sure what would posses someone to choose a colour scheme that makes it next to impossible to read their page. Well I don’t I just put on my sunglasses and click the back button or close the  window.

The first thing you need to do, other than the proper research of course, is to make your site visually appealing to your visitor.

2. Get To The Point Before I Just Leave

I don’t mind a story or some humour, actually I like that but only to a point. If I am visiting your blog for a specific reason, like learning something new, like when I am on a fact finding mission, I don’t usually want to waste my time getting through content to find that info.

Two things help me. One, break your article into sections using headings. It makes it easier for me to locate that info I’m looking for. Second, don’t use a lot of filler, just get to the point and you’re likely to get me to the click. Plus I’m likely to return again.

3. Keyword Density Shouldn’t Become Spamming

Search engine optimization or SEO is important and that include how you use your keywords. Don’t go wild and put your keyword in every sentence thinking it will get you more traffic. It might just backfire and be seen as spam by search engines, which can result in your page going in the opposite direction.

You may see your page go deeper in the search rankings and you get less targeted traffic, which costs you money.

Personally I like to have a keyword density of between 2 and 6 percent meaning for every one hundred words you would use your keyword 2 to 6 times.

People that get overly spammy with their keywords usually aren’t writing for humans and tend to use article spinner to help them get quantity of content over quality. Don’t get me wrong, I use The Best Spinner and love it however I write each article for my human visitors.

When I land on a page that is written for the search engines specifically I usually see words and phrases that don’t fit the context because the blogger didn’t’ bother to proof read the results. Most often I leave those pages and never return as I am not a search engine.

Blogging for profit is not that tough, but it does take a keyword focus and avoid writing for search engines, keeping your human target visitors in mind at all times as they are your bread and butter if you’re a work from home blogger, blogging for profit like I do.

Many online marketers today who have work from blogs tend to work hard to come up with enough quality content to keep our blog up-to-date and with enough backlinks to help increase our page rank for both individual pages as well as our main domain.

Personally, I don’t just write articles for my work at home blog, I also write articles I can backlink to my work at home blog. To accomplish this and still maintain more than a dozen blogs in a variety of niches I turned to The Best Spinner which is my favourite article spinner today.

Using The Best Spinner I can create one main article that is top quality and keyword focused and from that I can spin multiple unique articles. However it’s easy to actually destroy the power an article has if it’s not done correctly and that leads into the rest of the article.

Five Article Spinning Guidelines

1. Today Spun Articles Have to Be 50% or More Unique

Of course I like to start with a quality article I’ve written. That has to be my starting point. From there it’s what I do with that quality and unique article.

For years it was acceptable to spin articles about 30% unique but that’s not the case today. I went from spinning articles to 30% up to 50%, then 60% and today I like to spin articles until they are pretty much 100% unique.

Note: The extra time I spend making my articles as close to 100% unique while keeping the focus of my articles is time well spent.

2. Don’t Spam Your Keywords, Keep The Density Low

When you have keywords on your mind and you’re using an article spinner like The Best Spinner it’s easy to go wild with them which tends to look spammy. That reminds me of a client I had that didn’t get the point about keyword density and send me an article that was more than 50% keywords.

In the years since I started my work from home business I have written a lot of articles and put a lot of focus on keyword density. In that time I have found that a keyword density of between 3 and 7 percent usually works fine, leaving lots of room for other words.

3. Don’t Spin Out Your Keywords

I used to use article networks for a lot of my content but as time went on the articles started becoming less quality and more quantity. I was getting the same articles day after day, even though I rejected them, except they were just another spun version of those I rejected.

That was taking more and more of my time until finally I just dropped them all together and started spinning my own content.

The worst thing about the articles is that most had their keywords spun into NON money keywords and as if that’s not bad enough they would even allow the title to spun to death. That was the last straw and I stopped using them.

Keep your keywords in tact and that means your title to, as it’s what we see in the search engines and most I wouldn’t click at all.

4. Keyworded Anchor Text Is Essential Today

Keywords and backlinking should go hand in hand for best results, plain and simple. This again is a problem for most I see using article spinners like The Best Spinner because they allow their spinner to spin what should be their keyworded anchor text.

It’s not only important that you don’t destroy your keywords when spinning articles but you also need to spin your anchor text. The key is to only use keywords that are money keywords. So they are varied for great search results and more traffic as the search engines love natural looking linking.

5. Use At Least Two Backlinks Article

For better indexing and ranking of my pages I like backlinks pointing to my sites to link to an internal page, called deep linking, as well as a backlink pointing to the main page of my site.

It’s not that difficult to produce quality keyworded articles using The Best Spinner software, if you are willing to put in a little extra time doing it. Just be sure you check each article before publishing so that you know it has your keywords and is still quality and unique.

Follow these 5 article spinning guidelines you can even take private label rights (PLR) articles and rewrite or spin into fresh unique content.

I guess the fact my blog is called Work From Home Moncton indicated that I do work from home. It’s the greatest job in the world in my humble opinion but I have to work for my income and that’s what this article is about today.

Blogging is about writing and you can write about anything your heart desires, however if you blog for profit you need to know the right words to be using for your niche.

Some people just have the knack for writing, like my friend Larry has. He’s such a great writer and yes I’m a bit jealous as I have to work so hard just to get an average article completed for each of my blogs.

I just can’t keep up with the blog content I need regularly require so I have to find articles but that’s even getting hard these days, mostly due to poor writing skills or misusing article spinners like my favourite The Best Spinner.

Article networks just a couple of years ago were great places to get keyworded niche focused articles. Then along came article spinning and the quality of articles when right into the flush, making it tough to find quality keyworded articles. I have pretty much deleted all my sites from these article networks today as it’s such as waste of time.

The thing is I use The Best Spinner for my article marketing and spinning needs but I am still able to produce quality content that’s still got my keyword focus. Allow me to share a few tips that will help you spin articles yet keep the quality. This will help you get your articles accepted far more often.

1. Article’s Need Short Sentences And Paragraphs. Maybe it’s because I don’t have much education but I like articles that have short sentences and paragraphs. They are quicker to read and scan making my job easier.
2. Use Bullets and Numbers To Get Your Point Across. I love bullet points and numbering because it allows me to scan through your article to see if it’s worth using.
3. Dump It Down A Bit. Reading heavy content isn’t my idea of a good time. I just end up feeling stupid and leaving the page to find one I can understand.
4. I Don’t Accept Articles Full of Spelling And Grammar Errors. It’s simple, if you can’t take the time to proof read your article, spell check it and maybe even check the grammar, well I can’t be bothered fixing it so I reject it.
5. I Look For Titles That Are Catchy Plus Keyworded.  Today there are just too many authors who use article spinners and don’t clue into the fact they mess up their titles and destroy their keyword focus. No keyword focus and I just click the reject button.

Article marketing isn’t rocket science. Give your readers what they are looking for and that takes research. Get a copy of Keyword Elite and you will cut your research time to a fraction, giving you lots of time to write keyworded articles I will accept, every time.

I use Keyword Elite to find the keywords for my niche, so why would I allow my article spinner, The Best Spinner, to spin my keywords into non targeted words. I pick and choose each word replacement manually so all my articles keep their keyword focus, plus TBS has a protect terms option for just that purpose.

I keep going back to the article networks hoping to find better quality but it’s not looking good. So instead of wasting too much time there I started using iWriter.com to get content. They are certainly worth a peek.
