SEO Copywriting: How Much? And How Often?

“How much do I need to write if I want to be #1?”
I hear that question a lot. The short answer is: “As much as gets you there. Not one word more.”
But I do have some basic rules of thumb.
They’re basic. Very basic.
So I decided to write ’em down, and have some fun with Google Knol, at the same time:
SEO Copywriting Frequency.
The simple criteria I set out in the article has worked well for me over the years. But people still look at me like I’m a moron when I bring it up. So feel free to review, curse, comment on how stupid I am, etc. on Knol, for all the world to see.
