Article Writing - Great Tips On How To Write An Article

1) Learn To Write A Good Catchy Title

The first thing you need to do is do a keyword search by using http: // inventory.overture .com . Your keywords should have been searched at least a thousand times in the preceding month. You can multiply this number by five to come up with the total interest for this keyword among all the major search engines. Try to use your keywords in the title and at least once in the article body. Remember a search engine spider reads from left to right just like we do so don't waste your first four words. Notice above how I phrased this article title and guess what my keywords are.

2) Get Yourself Some Good Article Submission Software

This can be done by punching into Google " free article submission software " or anything along those lines. Some of them you can try out for free for a time. They will range in price from $15 to $300 depending on what you can afford. The one I use cost 37 bucks and is more than sufficient. You'll be able to submit your articles to hundreds of sites a day this way. Manual submission is cumbersome and you'll love how quick this makes things. You will still have to go through each article site and punch in a category for your article but it sure beats copying and pasting everything. Hits to your site will sky rocket.

3) Always Write Your Articles in Notepad and Then Copy and Paste

When I first started I had a lot of declined articles because I didn't understand what hard line breaks were. What this means is when you create your articles you need to use notepad and don't stop in the middle of a sentence unless it is a new paragraph. When you copy and paste from notepad click on format at the top and change the word word wrap function which will stretch out your article horizontally. If you do this you will avoid getting declined with your articles.

4) Try To Make Your Article Easy to Read

Notice how I have spaced this out by using subheadings and paragraphs. This is because it draws the reader along and they don't get tired looking at how much they might have to read. In this present day we don't want to spend a lot of time on anything and the faster we can get the point the better. When I first started writing articles I think my articles were too long. Now I try to keep them shorter and more intense.

Cant it become spam if you post the same article to too many article directories?

I don't know if I would consider it "spam" per se, but it could be flagged as duplicate content, which means you would get no real value for the article at all. However, if you are posting it randomly and trying to get people to buy something (such as on this forum), then it would definitely be spam.

Uploading to article sites is like the business we're in. It is a numbers game. More submissions means more opportunity to get your article picked up somewhere.

I have a mortgage/real estate article site and I am interested in figuring out how I can make it a place where agents would want to post content.

Ideally the articles would be 200 - 400 words in length and fairly unique. I am not interested in just getting recycled content, perhaps this is a reason to start small and only with a few interested people. I would like to post a pic of the author along with a few links to the author's site or contact form. I am not looking for realtor biography pages or blatent advertising. I would like to shoot for things like "How is the sub prime meltdown impacting real estate in Boulder, CO".


Some current site stats:
1.) Averages 200 unique visitors a day
2.) Home page has a PR 5 ranking
3.) Category pages show no toolbar PR because a month ago I moved to keyword rich urls in categories and there has not been a toolbar update. However, prior to this they were all pr4.
3.) 115 pages indexed in Google

Anyone have any thoughts? If this is something you might be interested in trying out PM me so I can give you the URL and we can discuss some options.

Thanks,

Keto

Thanks for the tips on article writing. Do you have any recommendations on coming up with content?

1.) I am not sure if you have noticed but the entire purpose of this forum is solicitation. Is it not a group of people all working within the same vertical soliciting assistance from one another on how to market themselves on the web?

2.) Reading back through my thread I can see how it came off spammy. This was not my intent and I apologize.

I think I still have a valid question so let me ask it this way. Being that we are talking about "how to write an article", are there any threads or forums where people talk about the next step, circulating that content? Content on your own site is only half the battle when marketing your self on the web. Although my site is not great, it could be better with some feedback from other users.

Much in the same way that I have given technical feedback to users of this forum I am interested in obtaining feedback on presentation.

There are tons of ways to circulate your content. Do a search on article submission or free article submission and you should be good to go with several opportunities.
