Articles should be people friendly not search engine friendly. Any articles you write should be high quality informative articles. Doing this will make people WANT to use them on their sites, and in doing so you will get the backlinks as part of the agreed use. m
With this in mind, it is important that people understand how you benefit from article writing as part of your search engine marketing. You MUST add biography information to your article and state that it is a condition of use that the biography stays. Most article depositories have bio areas anyhow, but a lot of people will take the article to use on their own site.
In your biop, say a bit about yourself what you do etc, and link back to your sites/s

Do you mean articles you post on your own site or articles you write for distribution? Very diffrent things. Old Welsh Guy had good advice for distributed articles. In both cases you would want to work on getting keywords into the body text and into the headers. Of course you don't want to oversaturate with keywords so finding a good balance is key.

The whole purpose of writing that article is to get people to visit your site (most of the time). So why ignore 50-80% of potential traffic? Not making the article SE friendly is doing that! Your article should always search engine friendly.
Here are some tips to make articles (on your site) SE friendly
I don't agree with that either. It is impossible to write a high quality informative article every time. You should mix in low quality articles, with a few high quality ones. That way you can write more which keeps the spiders busy. I don't know, maybe 5-10 low qual articles to 1 high qual article.
If you are distributing your articles to article directories, only submit the low quality ones. You want the high quality ones on your site so you get all the backlinks.

I was talking about articles written for distribution. I use threee types of articles 1 that I blast out everywhere, 1 that I only allow certain high quality sites to use, and 1 that I only allow to be used on my own sites.
I think you have misunderstood what I meant by making the article people friendly rather than SE friendly of COURSE you should consider the search engines. but I will now disagree back with you as anyone who releases crap low quality articles in doing little more than spamming the web in general.
Maybe we differ in our approach but writing crap articles for the sake oif it is simply spamming and will not gain you the sort of high quality reputation a professional would like to have. Placing low quality articles on your own website is simply going to reflect in how people perceive your own ability surely?
I agree though with what you are saying about basic search engine friendliness, but that is just basic stuff, you summed up the difference when you say not to overuse the keywords and to write naturally. By doing that you are doing exactly what I advocated and you disagreed with (so it appears we have not disagreed at all, just misunderstood what was said). Writing naturally for people then ensuring it is presented correctly to the search engines, is IMO writing for people not search engines.

What do you start with if you are asked to write articles on the subject completely unknown to you? That's clear, to study, but if the subject is rather challenging and your task is to write about one of its aspects, is it worth studying the whole thing?
I know that some people can write articles virtually on every topic, at least they advertize themselves like this.
