Whether you're writing keyword-rich marketing copy from scratch or simply changing the keyword focus of your existing copy, it's not always easy to know where to place those pesky keywords so that they don't interrupt the flow of your writing.

...it was perhaps 2 weeks that I had entertained the notion of buying the book, but always rebuffed by my busy schedule...until I ran across the fact that it was only 23 pages long! I leapt for the keyboard and frantically punched out my info. I thought, 'About time someone wrote a short book, avoided falling in love with their words and just wrote precise content.' So long story short...good freakin' job! I came away with some relevant, meaty stuff. I feel like a pro now.
