How to write high-quality, SEO-optimized articles?

　　1. Understand how search engines judge the relevance between a page and its keywords

　　First of all, when writing, webmasters doing SEO optimization need to understand two concepts: word frequency and density. In the early days of search engines, many webmasters used keyword stuffing to gain rankings — that is word frequency. But as search engines developed and their algorithms were updated, search engines began to crack down hard on keyword stuffing, which gave rise to the notion of density; the arrival of density put a certain curb on keyword-stuffing behavior.

　　2. Keyword layout

　　Keyword layout starts with the optimization of three page tags: T, K and D, because they can most directly tell search engines what content your web article is trying to convey, and the title tag is given the highest weight, so when writing a title, be sure to include the target keyword you are optimizing for. Of course, the title should not be too long — it only needs to summarize the main point of the article, and ideally it should also spark users' interest. As for keyword density within the article, this has always been a controversial issue; search engines are far more complex when calculating relevance than a simple count. In fact, there is no definitive answer on what keyword density an article should maintain: some articles rank very well with just one keyword, while others that by common understanding count as keyword stuffing also rank well — it really is a headache.

　　3. The correctness, or accuracy, of the content

　　When we write content, a situation often arises: some points are so important that they must be covered, yet our understanding of them is not that deep. At such times, neither leaving them out nor being vague is acceptable. The right approach is to keep researching until you fully understand the subject and can write about it clearly, or to find authoritative material on it and cite that.

　　Of course, for the content as a whole, correctness and accuracy are also essential. The best way to handle material that is too subjective or that you are unsure about is simply not to write it. Otherwise, once too much of the content we create is incorrect or inaccurate, users' trust in us will drop sharply. On the other hand, if the material we verify is detailed and the data sufficient, users' trust in us will increase greatly — a few pieces of content may be enough to establish our site's authority.

　　4. Content needs to be creative

　　Creative content is often wildly popular, just like the novel ways of eating and creative recipes for all kinds of food on Douyin. If you have new ideas or new creative takes on something related to your industry (like engraving an iPad with a laser engraver), think of a good way to express it — whether through text, video or images. As long as the idea is good enough and the execution good enough, this kind of content is bound to be the hottest and most attractive.

　　5. Satisfy user needs

　　When writing high-quality SEO articles, SEO practitioners need to learn to analyze user needs. Many SEOers probably know about long-tail keyword optimization — that is, ranking for the results of searches made with words expressing user intent — but have you ever considered whether the content of the article under that long-tail keyword actually satisfies user needs? Rather than simply adding long-tail keywords to attract traffic. This is also why many websites have large user traffic but low conversion.
