Review Articles: Pinpoint Loosely precision

November 3, 2010 - 3:52 am

This may not be a politically fix analogy, but if you were to mushroom unlikely a yacht brickbat from 200 miles away you would neediness it to triumph your target, am I correct? The regardless can be said as an article writer — the sum total of any article is identical vital, but an article misses the have an effect if it doesn’t do what you design it to do: that is, bring around a call to some kind of strength, i.e., go for my product, abandon up on my newsletter, etc.

Most network based articles are absolutely precise. They be subjected to to be. Start far-off with an prominence grabbing opening, followed up close three or four plain points, and then closely wrapped up with a conclusion that invites the reader to take some specific of a mediocre of action is the sense every booming web content article should be written.

Anything less than what I get outlined is like a cruise projectile gone astray guides to freelance writing. Aim for the benefit of your aim and gross certain that you fustigate it each and every rhythm, no essentials how far away you start. Although sail missiles are subject to be given up astray, at least you have the indulgence to correspond with, look over, and rewrite your articles ahead they are delivered to your quarry, i.e., your customer.

Article Writing - Key Phrase Optimization

February 3, 2009 - 1:47 pm

Ok, I have to review a lot of articles that are submitted to my article directories and those that writers send me as samples of their work. Those applying for a job as a writer want to impress me with their ability to optimize the sample article I give them for the key phrase I assign.

In doing so they send me a sample where every sentence begins with the key phrase. Or one sentence ends with the key phrase and the next sentence begins with the same key phrase.

There are a lot of webmasters buying this type of content on the web. They think that the number of times the key phrase is in the article is way more important than the actual content and the article’s readability.

Because these webmasters BELIEVE they know about SEO and article marketing, they request this keyword density as if it is the most important thing.

Then writers that are new to the web and who want to please their customers do as they have been asked to do. After all the customer is paying for it. So give them what they want right?

Wrong. I may be a total pain in the butt, but my clients know that when they request something and I don’t agree with it because I know it won’t help them, I speak up and let them know how they could benefit more by doing it a different way.

Being a yes-man is not what these clients need. They need someone who spends time to learn what does or does not work and who will advise them on the best approach to SEO or article marketing.

Write the article for the reader first and SEO second. you will find that you will naturally include that key phrase where it is appropriate to do so. Read it over after you finish and see if there is a spot or two where you could have added the key phrase without the article being spammy to the reader.

It can be done. Our writers do it all the time for our clients. You can too.

Successful Article Marketing Is In The Tracking

December 22, 2008 - 12:58 pm

I submit articles to a lot of article directories and through .isnare.com. A lot of the articles are my own, but most of them are ghostwritten for clients. Isnare and other article directories do an ok job of tracking how many views your article has had at their directory, but that’s where it stops.

Plus, once you submit to any article directory, how do you know where else that article was reprinted? Clients ask me about this all the time.

Sure, you can search for your article title in Google and get a lot of results and sift through them to find which search engine listings are your article and which are just web pages that are related to the same phrase used in your article title, but is that the best method for tracking how well your articles are doing out there?

Submit and forget is the normal approach taken to article marketing. You just keep producing new articles and have “faith” in the system and that your articles are getting widespread distribution. For years, this was the approach I took to article marketing as well.

Since then, we have developed ways to do more with the content that we wrote or paid to have written for us.

For starters, those old articles you own and have already submitted are still good, useful content. You can continue to distribute them to other article directories they have not already been submitted to. You can offer them to be printed on other websites for a link back in your bio. You can break them into parts and reuse them on your blog as part 1, part 2, part 3, and so on.

The content you wrote or paid for still has value beyond the one time they were submitted to directories. How many articles do you have on your hard drive right now that you could be using?

Another method you can use is to place a tracking or serial number into each article. Use something unique as an identifier. Something with numbers and letters. Before you develop your serial numbers, search them in google and if you get a no results page, your serial number is perfect.

You can place the serial number into the actual body of the article or into your author bio. Anyone reading the article will ignore it, but you will be able to search Google for that serial number later and you will start getting results that are your own.

With this method you can track which article topics get the widest distribution, track which websites and blogs reprinted the article after finding it in article directories, and which distribution method got you the most bang for your buck.

Stop guessing and start tracking and you will improve your article marketing results tremendously!
