How Many Keywords can be used in an Article?
We all know how important keywords are to the search engine optimization of the article. If there is minimal use of the keywords you are targeting then you have a slim chance of getting on the page 1 for that keyword. At the same time, if you use the keywords a lot many times then it appears spammy and more over it is a big turn off for your readers as the article begins to look artificial and aimed at search engines. This should be avoided.
So what is the perfect balance of keywords that can be used while writing an article? This is a question which is often asked by many bloggers. I hope this post is able to answer the queries in your mind.
The number of keywords that use in an article will mainly depend on the number of words that you are writing in an article. And the easiest way to spot the fact if you are using keywords in excess in your article is by proof-reading. If you read through the article once again yourself, you can spot if you have used the keywords too much. If you find that the reading is getting affected due to the usage of keywords and the article seems artificial- not aimed at providing any value to your readers then you should edit the article.
Most experts online who have been writing on their blogs for the past few years are suggesting that you use a pyramid structure of keywords in your article. This means that the keywords should occur more frequently in the first few paragraphs of your article. And as you move towards the concluding paragraph you should reduce the usage of the keyword.
The first five to six words of your article are said to have the maximum SEO juice. Basically, if your keyword appears in the first few words then you have a better chance for ranking good in SERPs rather than if you would use your keyword from the second or third sentence. Take a good note of this point. This is why you will notice some webmasters, before continuing the article will include the title in the beginning of the post again.
