Is it an Article or a Thanksgiving Turkey?

Robots won't purchase

Some article writers tend to forget that there are human readers, at the other end of the crocodile's lead.


Of course, you use your blog to climb up the Goggle ladder. You write articles related to your business, let's say "crocodiles" -I feel somewhat tired of dogs- in the hope that His Majesty Googlebot will be kind enough to notice your efforts to win the pole position for "crocodile", "crocodile leads" or "how to feed your crocodile".
The idea behind the method is that the customer whose crocodile has just eaten its lead will be directed to your website or your blog when he types in "crocodile leads". (He will be directed towards sites that sell leads made with crocodile skin as well, which will upset his crocodile, but that's another story.)


The problem with most articles is that Googlebot is not the only one who reads them. Human beings, guilty of nothing, who were just looking for a knitted winter coat for a crocodile, are sentenced to read:
"Welcome at Crocodile's, the site that caters to crocodiles. Are you a crocodile? Have you got a crocodile? Do you plan to buy a crocodile? We propose several kind of crocodiles for all the crocodile lovers. We also provide you and your crocodile with everything a crocodile dreams of, be it a crocodile lead (we even have crocodile leads in crocodile), a crocodile winter coat knitted in crocodile stitch..."


At this point, usually, the budding customer types in "Aspirin" and becomes a lost customer.


If you write for robots, you should warn the human readers, who, by the way, are far more numerous and more likely to buy than robots, but you advertize to whom you want. An easy way to spare the human reader is to stuff a latin turkey with keywords.
"Siquis in hoc crocodile leads artem populo non novit amandi, hoc crocodile winter coat legat et lecto carmine doctus amet. Arte citae veloque rates crocodile coat remoque moventur, arte crocodile food leves currus: arte how to feed your crocodile regendus amor. Curribus Automedon lentisque and reptiles erat aptus habenis..."


If you write articles as stuffed as Thanksgiving Turkey, you should use this method. It allows you to woo robots without offending readers. Ovid will not pop in to claim for damages, and neither will turkeys or crocodiles.
