Writing compelling content that is relevant to your reader and has a clear call to action is the way to go. If you can play with the right keywords that is great, but only if it does not change the effectiveness of the copy itself.

Besides the questionable copy, the User Interface can be greatly improved as well. Even if the copy was made for the SERPs, when a human arrives at the site, the UI greatly reduces the conversion probability rate.

Great post, wrote about in our blog at http://www.seo-e.com/.
Not only does copy like that turn people away, Google penalizes sites with it as well, treating it as spam. It’s a double whammy to do keyword stuffing

I agree. That is just terrible copywriting. The copy is filled with redundancies. They definitely should outsource SEO content creation to a reputable copywriting firm. The copy they currently have on their site will definitely increase their bounce rate and reduce their conversion rate. Not good.

Even if the copy were written well, it’s a dreadful site … it’s almost illegible.

It’s a real turn off; white text on a black background says “don’t read me!”

I don’t understand why this message hasn’t gotten through to designers… except for all the world’s largest ecommerce companies, who invariably use black text on a white background.

Like the we -we tool or concept and was wondering whether you had researched any actual correlations between let’s say low we – we scores and good conversions etc?

This is a welcome reminder of how “me-centered” we are as humans, it pervades everything we do.

I’m glad to find out about the “we-we” tools o that I have a way of holding myself accountable for my own ego when writing online.

Thanks!

Ian and Brendan, you are both right. SEO copywriting is all about balance. Yes, you can write for users and bots and do it well. No, you can’t shove excessive amounts of keyphrases into copy and expect good results with rankings OR with conversions.

So often, website owners think that SEO copywriting is exclusively about drowning the copy in as many keywords as possible. It has never been about that.

It’s this type of copy that gives SEO copywriters a black eye.

It is easy to talk about yourself, most people are self centered. It is a habit that websites need to break.

You have right.

SEO companies often forget that the best way to promote site is to create interesting and valuable content on it for human users…

This is a great example of optimizing for the search engines at the expense of the user. Even worse, is that the poor copy itself will have minimal weight in terms of SEO. 1 or 2 quality backlinks would do much better than the poor copy itself.

@ian: this post does not intentionally imply that SEO copywriting and sales copywriting are mutually exclusive. I agree they can coexist if the copywriter has the chops.

However, I challenge any copywriter to write great sales copy AND use all the keywords that were stuffed into that paragraph (about 23 by my count). It’s neither possible nor wise.

I gotta take issue here. This isn’t about focusing on SEO copy. This is about writing godawful copy.

A skilled copywriter can write great stuff for both SEO and sales.

Implying that they’re mutually exclusive gives all the sub-talented morons out there who crank out horrible writing a pass.
