Do I "Sound" Funny When I Write-Key Words in Blogging

Brenda: Blogs with a lot of key words are hard to read, but if the message is clear, at least you get found and got it out there. The yardstick: do you get responses from them.

I didn't recognize you in your new picture. I've been a bit absent lately. But saw Lenn's reblog. I agree that some posts do sounds funny, but I suppose it's a necessary evil. :)

I've written many posts where the keywords are used a bit too much for a "regular" reader and they come across sounding funny.  As it turns out, the latest changes in Google mean we don't need to be quite so explicit.  No matter what, if leads are being generated, that's all that matters.

Brenda, I guess being a newbie to consistant blogging on AR, I am going to have to go back and read more of your robot enticing posts.  lol   Love the comments, that is where I've been learning so much.  Congrats on your feature!

There is a sweet spot on keywords, and only Google knows exactly where it is ... somewhere between too many obvious ones and not having enough.  Remember to use Brand names and this includes your URL, too :-)

Brenda yes the use of key words can sometimes make sentences sound a little funny, also trying to fit the title of the blog in the post a few times tends to do the same.  It is hard to structure sentences so they don't look like we were smoking some of the happy stuff when we were writing the blog :)

Brenda- cute new profile pic!  Hey I sound "funny" when I speak!  The point is you're "funny" speak is doing what it's supposed to do... make the phone ring and get you business.  

I do it, but try to write in the keywords so it's not so obvious.  Some people keyword stuff, but it's all about the SEO.

I'm on the keyword bandwagon too Brenda.   I try to work in Stanislaus County Short Sales a few times in my posts.  Since it does make the phone ring I am ok with it. 

Brenda,

Well congrats on another excellent blog. Frankly none of us are SEO experts and I am not sure sometimes if the supposed experts really understand this SEO stuff. Using key words is extremely important for all of us and I persoanlly like the way you write and using key words does not bother me at all. I really cannot believe someone was sort of complaining?? keep up your excellent work..

Brenda I don't know about this "sounding" funny stuff, but you are funny.  I love to read your blogs.  Keep 'em comin'.  I lived in SA back in 1968 and worked at HemisFair.  I lived on the RiverWalk.  I think that building is now a 5 story condo unit.  Life was (and is) good!

It's all about SEO and getting the phone to ring so if it's working, keep it up! I haven't ever felt like you over-use key words!

Brenda, 

The phone ringing from new clients doesn't sound funny to me, it's a great sound:-)

All the best, Michelle

Brenda,

I do not think it sounds funny.  It sounds very smart!

Hey, if consumers can find what they need AND they are calling you...who cares how it sounds!

Oh now that was a funny line:  where do you market.  I would have been in stitches had someone asked me that based on my blogging (where it was apparent where I marketed).  I'm going to be laughing about that all day Brenda.
