You've captured it! These are excellent points.#5 - Converse with the reader - to my mind is most important. Sticking a corporate brochure online and "we-ing" all over the place won't wash with today's savvy web users. I always say, "I don't write for my clients. I write for my clients' customers."

Several of you bring up a great point about vocabulary. A lot of writers think using big words makes them a great writer, and that couldnt be further from the truth. Writing is communication. The quality of your writing is directly related to how well you connect with your target audience. Sometimes, that requires using PHD level vocabulary (academic journals,dissertation etc) but most times it’s about using easy, free flowing writing that gets straight to the point

As most of the comments have said the same thing, I think if your blog is getting visitors and followers that means that that you're bringing up a blog for your readers! Trying to give them a loose end by controlling your vocab hormones wont hurt a bit because on my part If I read a vocabulary stuffed line with more than 2 words not in my knowledge, I'm out of there!!

#1 really resonates with me. I think too often blog writers try to make their posts so keyword dense it takes away from the message. Always remember you are writing for humans, and a few keywords are fine, just don't over do it.

You're right number 1 is super important. I shed a tear when a writer is ranking a sentence around a keyword phrase. It just doesn't work. I say use less, and better keywords and put them where they belong. Sir I have bookmarked this for future reference. Jordan Pearce’s last blog post..Copywriting: SEO
