As I mentioned the other day, I’m trying a little article marketing. Here’s a link to an article I put out on ArticlesBase about using awkward keyword phrases:
Using Awkward Keyword Phrases and Looking Good While Doing It
This technique is relatively easy to do once you get used to the idea of breaking up the phrase with punctuation or paragraph breaks. In addition, take advantage of sub-headings.
Another little trick is to quote the phrase somehow. For example, the other day I stumbled on the longtail keyword phrase “freelance writer needs work that pays.” Now, that’s a bit awkward, wouldn’t you say? After all, I’d be tempted to add the word “who” to the phrase but some clients don’t want you to do that. Instead, I wrote a sentence along the lines of, “Instead of taking out a CraigsList ad that says, ‘freelance writer needs work that pays’ . . .”
Notice what I just did? I just squeezed in that awkward keyword phrase twice. Now my website/blog has three instances of “freelance writer needs work that pays” – make that four – without having altered the phrase or looking overly awkward myself. Using the technique described in my article, I can also do this:
Are you a freelance writer? Need work that pays?
I fudged it a little, but that’s okay.
Take a look at the article for more details and let me know how you used these techniques to work in awkward phrases. The article is free to distribute, too. And if you are a freelance writer who needs work that pays, join me over at Constant-Content.com.
