Now, I will describe each of the above mentioned term for your easy understanding.  These terms are as important to be followed as you dressed up for facing an interview.  So pay a little attention towards succeeding sub paragraphs and refine your writing skills. 

Keywords:  Let me explain that what a keyword is.  Keyword is the word around which an article revolves. In simple words you can say that Keyword is the central idea or the input of a search bar.  These words are focused on the trending subjects.  Whatever is being watched, heard or written in the society is based on certain subjects.  Keyword is the single or group of the words, which normally used by the internet user to search any subject.  User put their query in the search bar of browsers and hit enter.  Search engine optimizes the relevant results and displays the same on screen.  These words may be related with any subject but generally trending words are used as keywords.

Example: If you are writing on travels, keywords may be like Best touring companies in India, India’s Best Touring Companies, Find out best travel agency online or so on.  Likewise you may get keywords on other subjects too.

Design of keywords:     Many often you may be given some keywords by your clients in the form of a web link. Don’t remove hyperlink from these keywords or vice-e-versa.  These keywords may be mis-spelt at many times.  You may get these keywords without punctuation rules.  In other words, you may receive a keyword which is in jumbled punctuation. For example, you may get Most Trending Businesses in different manners.

•        Mosttrending Businesses
•        mostTrending businesses
•        MostTrendingBusinesses
•        Most trending businesses

Reason of such keywords is very simple.  A user may enter query in the search bar in different punctuation but needs result in proper manner.  You should use keywords as given by the clients.  To make your article SEO friendly, it is quite necessary to use keywords in their original condition.  If you know that spelling of keyword is not correct, don’t attempt to make it correct, use the same in “as it is” condition.

Keyword density:  This term is used in content writing to emphasize the subject.  Density of keywords means use of the same at certain number of times.  Normally, clients order with the assignment of task that what density of keywords they need in their articles. You need to maintain the specific percentage of keywords. 

Example: In case you are writing an article of 500 words with two keywords and a density of 2%.  It means you should use keywords at 10 times in your article. Though, this density is much more but still you should follow the client’s instruction.  After all your main aim is to establish yourself financially too.

Deadline: This is the date on which you are required to submit your articles to client. Practically, it is seen that many freelancers are associated with some work providers, who in turn are linked with clients. Original deadline is decided by the clients and sub-content writers allot the same task to freelancers with some early dates. You should write your articles, proof read it, format the same according to requirement of client and submit on or before due date.  Many times it has been seen that different clients need different formatting.  Some of them need main heading in bigger font size and main body in other font size.  Size of subheads and titles may be different according to client.

Any ways, you should arrange all formalities well in time and send the same on required date.  This will help to maintain your reputation in this profession.  Late submission may result in financial deductions. 

This is my personal opinion that every freelancer should respect the deadline.
