Like anything else in the world, also writing articles and submitting them requires skill. When you get it right it will seem easy and you will reap the rewards, but get it wrong and you will be frustrated at the time you spent with nothing to show for it.Here are some article dos and don´t that you can use as a guideline when submitting your next masterpiece.
Do:
Before you start writing a new article, do your keyword research.You must know what keywords you will focus on.
Submit a new article regularly, they are a fantastic way to build credibility and traffic to your home business website but it has to be done regularly.For example, submit a new one 3 times per week from now on.You are building a long term business and will be submitting articles for a long time.It will get easier with time when it becomes a routine.
Depending on the focus of your website, change the keyword that you focus on with each article. It is important to have a wide variety of related keywords pointing to your website to show the search engines that you have a reliable resource on your chosen topic.
Make the title unique and interesting, as it has to stand out from other articles on the same topic.
You write articles to provide useful information to your readers,it is not a sales pitch.Your article will be published also by other webmasters when they find it somewhere on the internet so it has to be free of spelling mistakes.Webmasters seek for unique, useful material that will benefit their visitors and will not publish any poorly written material.
Create another email address for submission purposes only.Grab a free Yahoo! or hotmail address.
Read the guidelines of each directory you are submitting too.You will know what is allowed and what is not.
Do Not:
In the resource box, do not just link to your website.Instead, deep link to some other page of your website.This will make the search engines crawl your site more thoroughly.
Don´t add affiliate links in the body, this will be seen as advertising.The resource box is the correct place. Also, too many links in the resource box is not allowed. One or two links are usually allowed to your website.
Don´t overdo it by adding too many keywords.A keyword density of 1-3% of your main keyword is recommended.
Don´t copy your article directly from a Word-editor into the submission forms.Copy and paste it to notepad or some other text editor before you put it into the submission form. Word carries extra programming that can interfere your submission.Save it as a text-file instead, and archive it so you can see where and when you have submitted it.Old articles can also give new ideas when you run out of inspiration.
Don´t put hard line breaks in the body.People do not have time to re-format your article so the possibility is high that it will be rejected from the directories if you do this.
These are just a few tips that I want to share with you.Follow these easy guidelines the next time you are submitting a new article and see if you get a better response.
