It is no secret that a good way to gain publicity and visitors for your website is to submit articles on quality sites. At the same time I strongly believe that submitting your articles on sites which share the same niche (or category) as yours is a better way to indicate search engines about the category of your article. For example it does not make a lot of sense to publish an article of travel or tourism on a finance website or a technology blog. The visitors of a travel website are likely to be in a mindset of vacation ideas, hotels, airline deals, events and travel attractions. Now if a visitor comes across your article on a travel site, it not only provides a reference link back to your website but most important the person is actually interested in that niche.
We will briefly put together a few points which one should consider while submitting their articles. We have selected travel niche as an example for these article writing tips.
1. Basic strategy of writing articles: Your article should be written in simple English and easily understandable my most users. It does not need to be too long but usually recommended no little than 300 words, preferably more around 500 words. Clearly state what the travel article is about, use short paragraphs and bullet points. Always provide true facts, good or bad. Consider using use numbers and figures in the text in your articles wherever applicable.
2. Title: Always use good attention-grabbing titles which not only contain your main keywords, but also give the brief idea to the users that what your travel article is about.
3. Keyword density: Well if your article is about New York tourism then we recommended that you should have it in your title and multiple times in the body of your article. There are several free tools available on the internet to evaluate your article's keyword density.
4. Link to your site: If you have a website, then you should certainly provide a link back to your site, if this article is about a section inside your site then consider giving the inner link over your homepage.
5. Bookmark your article with Sites: Once submit travel article and it is published you should consider it book marking using Delicious, Reddit, Digg and Stumble upon. Since these are social bookmark sites, this will also deliver significant traffic to your website. Similarly subscribing to the RSS feed using sites like bloglines and netvibes has similar advantages.
6. Write often: People and search engines are always looking for new articles. You will not only have more links pointing back to your site but also real organic traffic.
Many people, including experienced authors and marketers dread the thought of having to write another article. There are some who just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads their article anyway. To some people, reading articles seems like work too, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that's their purpose, to impart your knowledge, message and information. If it is not read by anyone, then it is a waste of time and effort.
But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It's just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn't have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guidelines to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles should be fun, as well as beneficial for you and your site.
Of course, the articles you write must be about a subject you know something about, that's why if you own a site, you probably have some knowledge about the theme of your site. When you write about it, you won't have too hard a time because you already know what the subject is and what it's about. It's just a matter of making your articles creative, informative and interesting.
To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six really useful tips. These tips will make your articles readable, informative and interesting.
1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader. Just looking at a long paragraph can get quite confusing and makes, and this makes it hard work to read it. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!
2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As you are stressing each relevant point, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, your readers will know that this is where the tips start. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your article won't look like a single block of boring square paragraphs. It pays to add a little bit of flair and originality to your articles shape.
3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections. It will also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition will be smooth, easy and 'natural.'This way, you will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction of your article.
4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person's curiosity you're already halfway there in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content, but should also be short and concise.
Use titles like, ?Tips on making her want you more?, or ?How to make her swoon and blush? .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, ?Make her yours in six easy Ways?. These types of titles reach out to a persons? emotions and makes them interested. Once you have the readers emotional attention, you are guaranteed that person will read your article.
5) Keep them interested in your article from the very first word, to the last. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive home your point, just don't over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.
6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teacher having a little chat with an eager student.
7)Don't use long, technical or unusual words. Many authors assume that their readers already know about the subject. These authors use technical words and jargon that are difficult for the reader to understand and follow. So try to keep it as non-technical as you can. After all, you want them to visit your website for a more in depth understanding of what you are writing about.
8)Pay close attention to your spelling and grammar. If your article is littered with spelling mistakes, and bad use of grammar, then that will weaken your claim to be knowlegable about the subject you are writing about, and may get your article rejected. If you want to give the appearance of being an authority on your subject, always run a spell check before submitting your article.
