Search engine optimization is very important for your online business if you are interested in staying in business. The reason for this is most of the time the large search engines direct traffic to your website, however your website must include what the search engine is looking for in order for your web page to be returned as a result. It might sound complicated, but it really is not because people use the search engines to search for keyword terms and then the search engines crawl the web looking for web pages containing these same keywords. The most important thing for you as an online business is to know the keywords that apply to your business and then include them on your web page through the use of keyword articles.

The major search engines such as Google and yahoo place a much higher weight on rich relevant content. Articles which have a clearly targeted key word or phrase will me more likely to rank higher on search engines.

In general, keyword articles are nothing more than articles written about relevant topics to your web page that have certain keywords placed in strategic areas. You should have a variety of keyword articles written that focus on different keywords so the search engines will return your web page as a result more often. While there are many freelance writers who write keyword articles for a living, if you do not have a budget to hire someone to write you can always do it yourself. The most important thing is to know the keywords that apply to your target market and how to best include them in an article.
