SEO Guidelines:

Your article should contain a keyword or key phrase. This keyword or key phrase will describe your article in a nutshell.
Develop an engaging heading. Studies show that the most engaging headings are those which are read most. Your heading must include your keyword or key phrase.
Your article keyword or key phrase should appear 2 – 3 times for every 200 words.
