^^^word on yoast

I feel you OP on wanting to write naturally for people, rather than for google. What I found most helpful initially about the yoast plugin was that it enabled me to write naturally and then tweak things after the fact for better seo. I found in a short time that my writing became more intuned with seo-principles while still feeling natural, because the plugin really helps illustrate specific things you can do to make great text more valuable to google. If I tried to follow all the instructions you got from your spammer I'd write copy none of my customers would want to read as it would no doubt sound clinical and forced.

I found Yoast to be an incredibly helpful learning tool because I learned by doing, not just reading. I still love the plugin, but I'm better at seo myself because of what I learned using it.

what odd spam, though
