Marketing to robots for the traffic is easier compared to marketing to human beings. Lots of commenting, interaction and sometimes even investments have to be made to make your market to human campaign successful. This is indeed true.

But, I do think you need to write a little bit for the robots to get the humans to your site. What a great statement “write for people, not robots”!

For example, if they are impressed by your articles and they recommend it on their blog with 500 daily uniques, you will earn a handful of traffic as well. <strong>@ Flimjo</strong> Blog post should be geared towards people and I will not deny it. However, wouldn't it be better if a post is both reader-friendly and ranked high on the search engines? @ Louis

Blog posts should be geared towards people. SEO is important, but it shouldn't detract from the audience: humans. I agree with Tibi. Blog posts should be geared towards people.

But if I'll have to choose, men come first. They're still the best search engine, i think :) My first priority is human readers. even so, I’m also concerned on SEO and All In OneSEO pack really helps a LOT.

However, writing without any intentions of SEO will cause a slow blog growth and a lot of effort to promote referral traffic. Also, as I have mentioned in the post above, there are still a lot of means to optimize a blog post for search engines other than seeding keywords. Anyway, I am more inclined towards writing for readers as well. This article is aimed at bloggers that have the intentions to use keyword density as a SEO means and I am trying to provide some tips on how they can SEO-ed a blog post without harming the readability. <strong>@ Caroline</strong> If you are using the All-In-One SEO plugin, you will be able to divide a headline (title that appears before the start of a blog post) and a title (the title that is within the title tags in HTML editor and appears in the title bar of the browser). For example, the headlines and the titles is not the same. The first point originated from my views that not every visitors read each and every one of your blog posts. Anyway, if one does not see why his/her blog needs search engine traffic, this step can be ignored, totally. ;-) @ Tibi

The trickiest part to this is the title - if you can get your keyword phrase near the beginning of your headline and still make it a good, compelling headline then you're set as you can do all the other on-page stuff very easily.

Sure organic search engine traffic is pretty sweet, but in the process of optimizing your content, you'll probably worsen its value and bore the reader with repetitive keyword packed sentences. Write good quality content, with no particular focus on seo optimization and traffic will come, both organically and virally. My advice: write for people, not robots.
