  1. Useful,Tips on copywriting for the web Articles beneficial and unique content – Before you can even think of anything else you must realise that our content needs to be unique. You should never copy and paste, even if you are posting on “your” blog and “your” website. Google and other search engines do not like this and as a result you will not get ranked for that specific content. So make sure your content is a single piece of unique writing wherever you post it. Not only must the content be unique but it needs to be useful as well. Why have content that somebody doesn’t want to read? Use your expertise and implement it into the text.
  2. Add Keywords where appropriate – When you are writing your content you must always be thinking of where you can insert keywords. These must be keywords you want to target but remember not to go OTT as this will just confuse search engines and they are likely to not rank you for them. Also keep them relevant to the page they are on and the picture they appear on so the content still makes sense and can still be read when they are in place.
  3. Easy to read text – It is best to make sure it’s easy on the eye, don’t create masses of text as people will be put off from it in an instant and probably won’t read it. Using things like bullet points, heading and bold text can really break it up and give the illusion that the text is an easy read and people are more likely to read it until the end. 
  4. Point in the right direction – Whatever subject it is that you are talking about in the text, point your reader or website visitor in a direction of which they can find more information on the subject. Whether it is an article which inspired you to write your content or a new product you may be selling. This will gain a link which will help optimise your site (Read number 5) which is good if the content was inspired by something on your site.
