I don’t…
When I write an article, I am concerned with just that…the article…and not filling it with un-necessary information that doesn’t relate to what I am saying.
To me, it is just padding an article with fluff; kind of like trying to meet a word count.
When I was in school, some Florida legislators decided that school children in Florida lacked some writing skills.
Their answer???
Pass a law that became known as the Gordon Rule – a law that required high school and college students to write massive amounts of words to meet a word count.
English, Englis composition, and literature classes had a minimum of 10,000 words per semester!
History and humanities classes required an 1,800 minimum.
If you had more than one Gordon Rule class, you were in some deep trouble!
All it did was encourage kids to create exhaustive run on sentences with copious amounts of “and” in them.
Some teachers encouraged their students to take plenty of notes and use them to meet the word count.
Creating articles with search words that have little to do with the actual subject of the article is similar to the Gordon Rule word count.
When I list the search words for an article, they pertain only to the article itself and not a bunch of fluf.
