This might hail back to the days of composition class, when assignments were made by teachers with the specific goal for each book report or an essay to meet a length requirement.

For a busy medical practice looking to attract new patients and build its base through a healthcare blog, the concept of keywords may seem to only relate to advertising using the pay-per-click model.
