There's More DON'Ts than DOs, so Here They Are...
Simply throwing up an article may fancy your flippers just fine, but the REAL proof of its performance is in the pudding! Leaving out the keyword research does just that!
- Don't go outside of the proven methods as set forth here at WA, especially if you are young at this! There's very good reason why the lessons and training modules are written the way they are. They work and they work very well!
- Don't go overboard or beyond the scope of the lessons on here either. For example, we no longer base our keyword insertions on keyword density. That doesn't work anymore and there are unfortunate souls outside of Wealthy Affiliate still relying on this method and wondering what's wrong. They did work at one time but that was about two years ago now. This feature, amongst others, have been taken off the on-board keyword tool some time ago. Someone just recently wondered what happened to the keyword tool. They call it "gentrification", otherwise known as, "urban renewal."
- Don't rely solely on keywords and SEO. There's the human factor too. It's okay to find related keywords for subtitles, etc, but use them sparingly, and use the main keyword only in the title and maybe one time in the first paragraph, if that's even necessary. Do what the instructions tell you and don't go beyond. Write for your human readers. The search engines don't ask for much anymore. Don't give them anymore. You'll regret it.
- Don't let others who insist that keyword research isn't that important. It is! It's easy to get influenced by what others say and miss the point of the lessons on here. This goes for the not-so-good sources outside Wealthy Affiliate all the more.
