In this in-depth article about content optimization on ClickZ, Netconcepts Director of Natural Search Consulting PJ Fusco, digs deep into this essential part of SEO.
Content optimization is about prominently incorporating targeted keywords and keyword phrases into the copy on each page to appeal to prospects searching for your goods and services. Doing so ensures your content has a chance to be found for all the right words. Ideally, these are highly searched terms and phrases that convert. That’s where keyword research comes into play when optimizing your site’s content.

* How to compile keyword research.
* How to measure content optimization efforts.
* Some basic copywriting knowledge.
* Basic HTML coding and basic SEO knowledge.
* A commitment to optimizing content — efforts will pay off!
