I’ve written about the Scribe SEO copy writing tool before. It’s a great service put out by Brian Clark founder of CopyBlogger and numerous other successful ventures like Third Tribe Marketing and the Thesis Theme.
Over the last few months the early adopters of Scribe have helped identify the rough edges and the development team has smoothed them down. Take it from me Scribe SEO copy writing works great both inside the WordPress environment and in their custom web interface.
Brian has been kind enough to take time to prepare a 24 page FREE ebook about SEO copy writing. The neat thing is if you read through this entire free ebook (which you can get without even providing an email address) Brian has hidden a special surprise inside for you (Make sure to read until the end).
Yes, I have an affiliate relationship with Scribe. Here’s the deal, I would not promote it with a blog post unless it was good. As a matter of fact the first time I wrote about Scribe there was no affiliate program. It has helped me make this site and my ColorMetrix site better places to visit on the internet. You shouldn’t even look at the service unless you feel you need to learn more about SEO copy writing.
If SEO copy writing is on your mind then you really should look a closer look. Scribe allow you to continue to focus on writing for humans and then let the SEO copy writing service optimize your writing for search engine friendliness.
The proof is in the pudding and I have been using Scribe for about three months. Using tools like Google Analytics and Google tools for webmasters I can clearly see an increase in my search engine friendliness. Your a reader here, have you noticed any change in my writing style? I think the answer is no but if you feel it’s different please let me know.
Otherwise, if you have gotten this far it’s time to check out the free ebook from Brian Clark.

I have improved my writing and web-site traffic more in the last 30 days than in the previous five year of blogging. ScribeSEO is the tool that has helped me do that.
Let’s start with the juicy facts, search engine generated web-site traffic at both this site and ColorMetrix.com is up almost 30% since I began using the combination of powerhouse tools, ScribeSEO and Thesis Theme.
Being a serious blogger and internet marketer requires that you write for both humans and Google. My writing for human consumption has been good for a while, that’s the easy part for me. Digging into the mechanics of how to write for Google and other search engines (SEO – Search Engine Optimization) is where I never spent much time. There’s a reason for that, it takes a great deal of time and research to learn the science of writing for a search engine. It takes even more time to do that while still keeping the content pleasant for human consumption.
If Scribe did not make the posts better for you I would stop using it. The simple fact is the posts are better for my human readers too. My titles are better because I put the words with most meaning at the beginning. My posts are more focused because Scribe reminds me what it thinks the key words are. My posts contain more links to external content because they just should. Very few of my posts are 100% pure original thought and the power of the internet is that you should be able to quickly and efficiently check my sources.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, ScribeSEO is a fee based service. You don’t need Scribe. You could spend hours (probably hundreds of them) researching all the techniques to make Google and other search engines like you. The option is to spend as little as $27/month to have Scribe do that for you and invest the time saved in creating lots and lots of rich Google friendly content for your web-site or blog.
I actually have fun using Scribe. The first thing Scribe does is give you a score on a 0-100% scale. If you aren’t happy with the score you can start digging down into the details of what Scribe recommends to improve the score. For me this is the best part. Many of my older posts came in with scores in the 50-60% range. With just a few minutes work and a little tweaking I got almost all those posts to 100%. Now, almost every post I write starts in the high 80′s but every now and then one is in the 50′s and that forces me to go back and look at the post. Almost every time it needs some work.
If scribe sounds interesting click on the banner below to find out more. It is an affiliate link so I will make a few bucks if you decide to give Scribe a try and I’d like to thank you in advance for giving Scribe a try knowing that. I will also let you know Scribe is a product of Brian Clark over at CopyBlogger.com. Brian is also part of Thesis Theme and Third Tribe Marketing. Yes, I trust him and his products enough that three of the five affiliate programs I am participate in are his.
If you give ScribeSEO a try, please come back and let me know what you think. If you know of another way to do what I am doing with Scribe please jump in the comments. I love learning about better ways to do things as much as the next guy.
