You can create a similar thread to educate us on writing SEO-optimized articles, especially in the tech niche, like the OP has done.

We can benefit from your expertise and wealth of knowledge.

It shows you're new in the industry...probably you just got a certificate..My kindly advise is that think before you type...And try to advance yourself..A newbie SEO blogger simply know about keyword research so don't make it a new thing. Same time, SEM building is entirely different from SEO building, don't try to mix them together.
IamAtikulate:

You mean Google's third most ranking signal doesn't matter?

Picking a long-tailed keywords with zero search volume and competition and ranking it using Yoast doesn't make you an SEO person.

When you compete with people that spend over 5000k USD monthly to just to maintain their productive keywords on the SERP then you will ditch your Yoast plugin.

We ain't competing for a keyword in the auction system for a product to show up on organic search engine...but we gladly do more of 90 percent content structuring and 10 percent link building...That means SEO is the unpaid version of organic search engine, it cost nothing to appear there...All that's needed is quality content and quality-relevant backlinks. That's all.

What is this dude talking about?

I am talking about 5000k USD SEO monthly budget and you are talking of SEM.

So, 90% content structuring and 10% will put you on front page?

Stop playing with weak keywords boss and don't forget to ditch your Yoast plugin.

What is an SEO content if not a content you write to rank?

Off-page, technical and on-page are all part of SEO and you can't talk about SEO content without considering them.

SEO content does not stop at on-page SEO.

Be guided!

OP is still withing the scope of his topic. He clearly pointed it out that he's talking on how to WRITE SEO articles. That is, just the writing aspect.

Hence, most of his points are valid because I have my reservations on some. The backlinks is actually important too and the rankbrain you mentioned is an algorithm that you cannot directly influence. If you've read about it, you will know that it is an algorithm that ranks your page based on how users interact with it. I can refer you to an article I wrote about it.

LSI and the likes are good too. Personally, I finish my writing before I bother about any SEO. Whenever I do this, I always discover that there is only little work left to do regarding SEO.

Summarily, search engines are out to please the users not you. Even if you optimize your websites but the content is rubbish, trust me, Rankbrain is present to take you back to where you belong- The SERP burial ground.

Here's the catch; I don't pay for links. My contents get lifted without my permission and I ask the thieves to reference which they do out of fear. I don't have ANY social network in my site's name but the shares are something these days. Plus, I ditched AMP after two days of test but no AMP enabled site comes close in rank. Would you like me to explain further?

Wow. Cool stuff. I'd like to know more.

Why did you ditch the AMP though? Because, I remember when my blog was down, the AMP version was being displayed to mobile users coming from Google.

AMP sure has its benefits but it didn't take long to figure out there were Javascript and CSS limitations with the AMP version. Worse is the fact that I was always getting notifications on GSC about some AMP issues with some of my contents. I do tons of contents daily and the last thing I wanted was spending time on GSC, trying to fix stuff. It wears me out.

Even at that, choosing to stop using AMP on your site is much more difficult than setting it up. I spent days trying to clean up the mess after I disabled it.

GPSI says my page speed on PC is 99 while it is 68 on mobile. That in itself is fair for me.

You can influence RankBrain. Optimizing your website and having a rubbish content are mutually exclusive.

A website with rubbish content is not optimized

SEO is a forever project. It is dynamic in that it changes periodically all thanks to algo updates. Given that, I wouldn't venture into anything that would cause me to spend days on GSC save I want to disavow links. I hope it isn't Smush?

It is very obvious you are just trying to grasp the totality of Yoast.

Why would you spend 5k USD as SEO monthly budget if you are doing the needful? To advertise and temporarily push your site as ads on SERP and then it dies when you don't renew the coming months?

KEYWORDS DON'T WORK ANYMORE IN 2019! Plus, you can actually set your Yoast plugin not to show those pesky content/reading optimization settings. They are basic suggestions and not the ultimate guide to ranking.

Either Yoast or AIOSEOP, it doesn't which you use. The latter has great features for SEO experts and I prefer it. It however not complete and doesn't even have the redirect feature as Yoast (in taking premium).

If you know what you're doing, you would not need to shell out 5k USD as SEO budget, monthly. As a matter of fact, you have no business blogging in the first place if you do that, save you are trying to push a campaign.

Lol.

Stop playing with small kids you no gree. The max a Nigerian company will pay you for SEO is 300k for the entire campaign.

Foreign clients pay between 1000k-10000k USD per month for 6 months.

I am currently doing 10000 AED and I have done 3k USD both for 6 months and I am also doing 800 USD for 6 months.

I have consulted for 2 US based SEO agency and I have consulted for US firm that wants to audit the performance of their SEO agency.

I consult for few SEO agencies in Lagos.

When I said competing with SEO persons with 5k USD monthly budget, I wasn't talking about SEM.

I do B2B multi-channel SEO not Yoast type of SEO.

If you are humble, I will give you compass.

Ranking Keywords on front page is a vanity metric, can you make money from that position?

How much?

That is the type of SEO I do.

You can't teach someone how to write letters without teaching them punctuation.

You cant teach someone on-page SEO without touching the foundation of SEO- technical SEO.

You sound frustrated.

I don't do SEO with plugins.

It is in Nigeria I saw someone offering SEO for N25k for the entire campaign.

You do SEO without budget?

You think SEO is to tweak the content and stuff it with the keywords, place the keywords in title and H1 and follow those Yoast' bulkshitt guidelines?

When you are ready for SEO, then you will stop using Wordpress for the "money pages"

And you think your 25k can do it? Do you know how much it costs to get featured on NBC, ABC and top news websites? Tracking your all keywords in real time will cost you over $40 every month.

Doing UX will cut out over $100 while leads gen integration and the tracking will cost over $80 per month.

Then maintaining your team, do you know how much it cost? Don't tell me you don't have a team even if 1 VA.

You need budget to run modern day SEO not Yoast type of SEO many people do in Nigeria.

That Cambodia project will fund over 100 of those 25k Nigerian project.

How do you talk of users experience without talking money nah?

We Nigerians need help.

How do you get picked up for backlinks if you are not ranking already? How do you rank for competitive keywords without back links? You can't rank for competitive keywords without backlinks.

So you build them and get them indexed. If not, it takes even up-to 3 months for Google index them depending on the referral domain.

You keep talking about Pogo sticking, as if it is a new thing in SEO. It is an important ranking signal that is why we don't joke with the 5 seconds rule when optimizing.
