While writing your paper...
While you’re writing take a moment to consider your readers - whatwords and key phrases would they enter in to a search engine to find
articles on the topic you’re writing on?
- Choose a clear, descriptive title. Search engines weight the words
in your title most heavily in determining what your article is about, so
make sure anyone reading it would get a good idea of the article
content from your title. - Use key words and phrases consistently throughout your article. The
more these appear in the abstract and text, the more likely your
article is to be returned high up in the results list of a search for
those words/phrases (and related ones).
