Default Online salesletters and SEO? - 06-09-2006, 01:08 PM

Hey there,

I'm wondering how big a role search engine optimization plays for everyone when they are putting together long copy salesletters for the internet.

I've always totally ignored SEO when writing for the web, but maybe I'm missing "swarms of free traffic" -- as the SEO companies would have me believe...

So, do you guys take this into consideration? Do you hire an SEO company after you've finished the letter to help optimize it? Can you recommend someone who "gets" long copy sales pages to do SEO for me?

Thanks!

Michael

Hi Michael,
I don't know much about "SEO Copywriting"(yet), but I will tell you that it is one of the top searched "phrases" when folks are searching the keyword "copywriting" on the web...

For starters, I would suggest anyone here with a copywriting niche website to put this phrase in their keyword metatags.

Agree with that.

I think there are some basic SEO tricks you can learn, but for the most part, the letters I've written are better promoted with ppc, viral, lists and affiliates.
