Blogging for SEO, Robots and Human Readers

Naturally we have all been raised to write for the human reader. I doubt many parents raise their children remarking, "Now Johnny, be sure to practice writing so the robot can read your story!" As crazy as it sounds, bloggers are faced with the task to not only write for humans, but for robots too!

Have you written your blog posts for humans only, or do you also aim to please the robots appetite for the latest scoop? Although it may be your specialty, robots are not looking to read the latest gossip, but they are looking to read strong keywords and key phrases. To please the robots be sure to toss the robots some keyword biscuits and key phrase sandwiches so you will be handsomely rewarded! For good seo, (search engine optimization) the primary keywords are those found in your blog post titles. Your blog post titles have the greatest impact for bringing in organic traffic from the search engines.

Blogging with robots in mind is not the easiest task for bloggers because it means we have to write in a manner that may seem awkward as we create the content. If the content was not carefully crafted it may result in feeling a repetitious flow of specific keywords when the human reader takes a gander at your blog posts. If you were in an English class and submitted a story written in a manner to find favor from a robot, the teacher would probably give you bad marks for being too repetitious with certain words. One rare exception would be if your teacher is a robot!

When it comes to search engines and robots, proper keyword selection, placement and repetition are helpful in order to establish your main keywords and key phrases for your blog. For most, that is not second nature, but instead a learned process in blogging. Bloggers must find a happy medium between writing for the human reader, and writing for the robots. Ultimately you may prefer to write for the human reader first, and the robots second. If that is the case and you are the human reading this article, be sure to tell the robots to get behind you in line!

Did I write for the robot here? Hmm, I better throw the robot some keyword biscuits to lure him in to get my keyword higher up in the search results. So please have a blogging, blogging, blogging, good time!

Fashion Dash Game Review

Fashion Dash, the name caught my attention. If you think this is a game just for kids, you're in for a shock. This time management game is so challenging as to pass each levels, the goals are set high. Thus, to get it pass the levels, practice makes perfect. More practice will let you get used to the features of the game, but it's still challenging nevertheless. Are you ready? Sit tight while I just go through the review.

This game is similar to Diner Dash, if you have played Diner Dash before, this will be easier. Except Diner Dash is on restaurant management while Fashion Dash is on clothes and accessories shop. I have played the one hour trial that I have downloaded, I have just passed the third level, going on to fourth. Have used too much time on the third level which I need to reach the goal of the money earn.

Okay...here are some tips. To serve the customers that comes in to the shop, sit them down at the matching color of the changing room. If the color of their shirt does not match the changing room's color, they can be served as well...it's just that the money earn will be lesser. The cash earned can be used to upgrade the changing room.

Then take the catalogs for the customers and wait for them to review. Once they are ready, take the measurements and send the order to the seamstress. After that take the ready made clothes to the customers and get the payment from them in return. After the customers have left, take the hanger and place it at the right place. Well...it seems easy if there are just a couple of people to attend to. But with four or more customers, you have to juggle more task and do multitasking at the same time.

Not only that, some customers feel inadequate without accessories. So take the watches, necklaces, bags or shoes to the customers if they want the accessories. Try not to keep them wait for too long, else they will be dissatisfied. And then, you've guessed it, they will pay you less or straight away run out from the store!

Try out Fashion Dash and you'll not be disappointed. Just need a little bit of perseverance to get the game going. You won't get bored with all the running around here and there.
