For a handful of keywords, my website now ranks on the first page in Google searches and I haven’t spent a penny on paid positioning. One of the reasons for that is because, I have to admit it, I do write a lot. I don’t even want to count the number of words on my website…

But I also attended a few events on SEO and website copywriting where authors shared some useful insights on how to write for humans and for Google robots. I think it should an important part of your strategy if you’re investing in a website, so I decided to finish the copywriting thread sharing a few tips on SEO copywriting.

The following infographic tells it all (ok, almost). I really like the fact that it underlines the importance of writing for humans.
