It might seem like a slightly bizarre thought but with all of the recent changes from Google, is Copywriting going to overtake traditional SEO?
Andy Drinkwater from iNet SEO looks at Copywriting and SEO.
If you look at the big picture, what does Google want? Content – unique content and as much as you can provide them with. Not too long ago, if you wanted a phrase to be well ranked, you stuffed as many of those keywords in as possible. Then Google started to get smart and decided that good quality back links from reputable sources was a great indicator of a worthwhile site. Not so the case any more, although Google still likes to see good links, they now much prefer to see unique content that has been shared amongst your network.
Oh, that’s something else they didn’t mention to start off with – ideally, you want a good network of followers who are all going to want to +1, share, mention, Like, Tweet and re-share your content.
Reputation and influence is playing a huge part now along with the ability to write fantastic content. You write great content, have a large network who will share it, then you will do well in the eyes of Google.
So what do you do if you can’t write content or have a network who will share it? Aside from having someone come in and undertake this from you, in the eyes of Google, what do you then have to offer? It might sound a little harsh, but why would Google want to list something in the SERPs that was of poor quality – and why would anyone want to share this?
It really is all coming down to content… Write great content and even if you don’t have a massive network following you, articles can go viral through another individuals network very quickly.
So where does this leave traditional SEO? And by traditional, I am referring to Key Phrases, Page Titles, Descriptions, Navigation, Keywords, et al. It all still has a place but is no longer the deciding factor. If you miss and H1 Tag, this is not going to be the deciding factor on if you appear on page one or page 50.

Can You Manage Without A Good SEO Copywriter?
Years ago, search engine optimization was centered on tricky little tactics aimed at cheating algorithms for short-term results. These days, most every company has gotten into gear, thanks to punishing algo updates meant to freeze out black hat strategies.
Google wants nothing but quality content on the first few pages of its search results, and most marketing specialists are turning to content specialists for magazine-quality material. That said, according to our in-house SEO copywriter, many are still trying to get by with cut-rate content.

Copywriting Techniques That Stand Out
Some may think that writing for the internet is the same as writing in your journal or possibly print media. However, this is the wrong type of thinking. The problem with this is people who read on the web like to scan the pages quickly picking out key words and phrases.
The same idea that newspapers use is having a great lead paragraph that sums up the entire article in three of four sentences should be broken down in web writing to three or so paragraphs. This allows the readers to gather the gist of the article in case they do not have time to continue reading and then they may move on to the next topic or a different website altogether.
Do you know why we tend to scan pages? It is the concept of usability. Reading from the web or internet is tiresome to our eyes tending to take longer making it easier for us to look at a printed page. I would rather print out an article or research journals I need because it is so hard to read all that information on a computer screen. This is why it is so important in web writing for articles, blogs or whatever, to make it interesting and well written if you want people to take more time to read.
