The more you can tie it into the headline, the more effective it will be in keeping a user interested in your article.

For a blogger, it can be intimidating. But...to get your post on the first page, now that's a rush. When one is first beginning to blog, not using keyword density can create disparity, since your blog may never be found. Hence, even though a blogger is writing fantastic posts, they may begin to feel it's all for not, since they are not getting any traffic. It would be a sad situation if they stopped writing, as undoubtedly, they are probably sharing tons of valuable information. A new blogger is not only competing with 120 million +/- other blogs, but, now must learn how to "get found". And then you read, blogging is easy.......I don't think so.

The past articles, I did not think about this, but for future, I will definitely implement this. One thing I realized is that in the crowded search term field, even a great Search Engine Optimization can not get you to anything meaningful. Today, I googled every term I would like people to type into search engine, and tested how many items would come up. I was shocked to see a number like 43 millions, 8 millions, 120 millions, so on. It is rare to find the term that has less than 1 million. And imagine how many people are trying to compete on the term. I definitely need to spend my time to think about my strategy here... I am looking forward to more tips from you! Great tip, Barbara. The past articles, I did not think about this, but for future, I will definitely implement this.
