The Rewrite

For this particular page, target customer was someone in need of wedding entertainment. The visitor might be a bride or mother of a bride looking for a wedding band (a wedding music band, that is), a DJ or some other form of wedding reception music. Most often site visitor was a bride, however.

I never want to include copy strictly for SEO purposes if possible. The copy should always have a dual purpose: to help visitor and to boost rankings. To accomplish this with Gigmasters.com, introductory paragraph of copy spoke directly to bride-to-be. It gave her feeling that Gigmasters.com understood how important music for her wedding and reception are.

Under each music classification, bride was given ideas or suggestions. Statements like, "The gentle melodies played by a harpist or flutist during prelude to your ceremony can add an air of distinction" and " Do you want your guests to dance? Consider a Latin band or swing band to pick up beat" prompted visitors to think through their selections and evaluate all their options before deciding.

Each section of copy used at least one primary keyphrase to boost support of those terms with engines. The copy was carefully written so as not to sound forced or stiff when including search terms.

I have considered what constities good copy and integrated what i have learned with modern lifestyle which is much shorter on time than 30 years ago when book i bought was first published.

The modern attentian span is much shorter than it was in past and i integrate this into my articles and writing by making blocks of text a lot smaler than is reccommended in books of yesteryear and it is more or a bite size chunk now.

One of things i do notice is that modern reader and typer no longer needs to have full amount of letters in words and as an example you are now free to use m8 instead of mate which has been used for last few decades.
