How to Write Good Home Page Content
It’s a good idea to use a word processor to write your main article to easily see the word count and be able to quickly correct spelling errors. Here are the general guidelines and tips for writing your main page article:
1. Research your main keyword topic by doing a general Web search. Locate other articles on article directory sites for inspiration and ideas on what people are writing about. Study the way that they divide up sections and the sub topics they talk about. Look at the view counts for the articles you are looking at. If the view counts are high there is a good chance that they are making money with this article and it is a good model. The goal here is not to copy the article but get ideas.
2. A good structure for your article might include a history or overview of the product, the benefits of the product or the problems that your product or service solves, and then summarize by showing where to buy or highlighting a special offer and then linking to your offer at the end with a big call to action.
3. Generally you should write a 400+ word article focusing on the main keyword phrase with the sub keywords as either categories or similar keywords within the article.
4. Use the main keyword at least three times in the article. You always want to have it in the H1 header tag and also bolded at least once in the article.
5. Use the sub keywords that you just collected at least 2 times each within the article. Try and use a couple of your sub keywords in H2 tags a couple of times. An easy way to keep track of this is to write all of the keywords at the top of the article and then as you write and use each one keep a tally.
There is no ‘magic’ formula for writing the perfect index page article, so don’t worry too much about keyword density. Some gurus say that 3% keyword density for your main keyword is optimal. This may or may not be true but you want to naturally have your keywords fit in with our article in a natural flow. Stuffing Your page full of twenty keywords over and over again is not going to be helpful and only hurt us.
If you follow the above guidelines then you will be way ahead of the game and have a properly optimized page that the search engines will love for your niche.
After you have written your article you want to do a spell check and read over it a few times to make sure it makes sense and has a natural and readable flow. You then want to transfer your article to your Web site and put it into HTML format and save it as the index page of your site.
You can link to your CPA or affiliate offer a few times within the article to help improve click through rates. Don’t overdo this…generally a few links is plenty. Also make sure to make your affiliate links ‘nofollow’ as this will help with Google indexing. There is much debate on whether or not it is absolutely necessary to have your affiliate links as nofollow, but in general it is a good idea for Google indexing.
