Imposing word count, density and keyword inclusion can never maintain an authors <strong>exactly</strong> intent. But it's <em>extremely</em> easy to maintain the story, information, article or post core messaging if you're a good SEO, experienced writer. <strong>User experience is the key.</strong> The ultimate goal is to write something that <strong>engages and interests</strong> the user, creating a desire to <strong>explore further, click a link, subscribe, download or submit a form</strong>, if SEO'd content doesn't accomplish (at least one of) those goals, site owners have <em>much bigger problems</em> than badly SEO'd content. A good discussion to be had. Cheers No matter how good an SEO writer, SEO content will never read exactly the same as non SEO content.

User experience is the key.

The ultimate goal is to write something that engages and interests the user, creating a desire to explore further, click a link, subscribe, download or submit a form, if SEO’d content doesn’t accomplish (at least one of) those goals, site owners have much bigger problems than badly SEO’d content.

A good discussion to be had.

If you're focusing on one more than the other you're not doing your job as a web writer. I agree this is a common question and I agree that you can have both.
