2. Getting traffic to your article

2.1 Use the highly - relevant keywords

Using the right keywords will help people searching on search engines to find your articles; thus you should choose the most relevant keywords from your article to put into KEYWORD when submitting article on Ezine9 and use it in the title, introduction and body paragraphs.

When selecting title, think about the words you would put into the search engine box if you were looking for this information. Would you search for something like: “How to take care of newborn baby” or “How to make a boy call back to you”. You should select the most relevant 3 – word keywords and use it into your title.

Use the keywords in your title, then a few times in the body, and your article will read well and rank well. But it is unnecessary to stuff them into every sentence. Stuffing keywords may cause reader’s confusion and Google penalty. Try to write naturally and smoothly.
