Is an SEO article all about self promotion? - Matthew - 04-28-2014 02:11 AM
I'm learning SEO step by step and about to write my first article. Am i right in thinking i write about something related and put my keywrods in it then link back? It's not about self promotion of my website or talking about my website and basically not an advert?

That's right a search rank seeking article is more like the television program that proceeds the commercial message (perhaps a concept your less familiar with in UK)
I question the long term value of heavy keyword stuffing or computer spinning articles.

Your article should be informative, and contextually related to the keyword/subject you are trying to rank for ON YOUR OWN SITE. Note, you are not trying to rank the article!
The benefit is that :
A) you get an in content link from a contextually related source.
B) you may get some traffic from the article, ie people liking it and clicking through to your site for more!
High quality article directories, such as seine articles, will not accept am promotional article anyway.

Not exactly about self promotion. But you must use your keywords in your article in a very proper manner.The topic should sensibly relate to the keywords.And the keywords stuffing should also be very real. Too much stuffing of the keywords can harm your site's ranking.Focus on creating useful, information-rich content that uses keywords appropriately and in context.

All you need is to write interesting and informative article. Though you can add some keywords there but try to avoid stuffing of keywords. As many article directories don't accept promotional content. Article marketing is one of the best SEO activity to get a new website found on the internet and get quality backlinks.
