How to write quality article?

Writing quality article is very simple. Following would be of some help I guess.

• Write only the information

• Break your articles into small paragraphs

• use bullets (if allowed or use ‘#’) just so it catches the eyes

• Use headings and sub headings just so the reader can get a sense of ‘what’s going on’ with the article

• Write in simple English so that anyone who’s not a native speaker can understand what you have to say

Where do I submit the articles?

The best article directory is EzineArticles.com. Well there certainly are other good directories too. GoArticles.com, ArticleCity.com Isnare.com are to name a few. To help you out, here is a good list of popular article sites.

Webmasters these days are considering article marketing more and more as it indeed is worth the effort. Article marketing is a free method which can boost your sales and traffic of your site. Everyone knows how effective article marketing can be in order to bring in targeted traffic. It is one of the easiest ways to promote your website.

How it works?

Write articles relating to your website and submit them to article directories. Wait for the approval and if the article is published you have a life time back link, good stream of targeted traffic and more sales which eventually means more income. Publish more and more articles and as the list grows larger, your site gets more and more back links. Search engines are placing a lot of significance on incoming links from these articles and your site gets better ranks.

Search engines do not just index your website but they index published articles too. So once someone searches for a topic your site is about, the list of results will have your site and may even show the articles that you have written.

How targeted can the traffic be?

The good thing about articles is that you can write about anything that people would like to know. Write honest opinion and to the point information. Add a sales pitch, do it with a professional manner, get them excited and bang, You have a sale! All the traffic driven by article marketing is more targeted traffic.

How long it should take you to write an article?

To be a good article marketer you should think and type fast. You should spend only a few minutes of your time to write one article. It should take around 10-15 minutes to write an article but not more than 20 minutes otherwise you lose the game.

Things that all articles must have

Article marketing is not just about stuffing your site with articles. Articles have certain requirements. You should follow the requirements to obtain the maximum benefits an article can provide you. We are talking about converting the curious eyes into sales. Even if they like what you say, they might get you few extra sales by recommending you to their friends and family.

Keywords and keyword phrases.

An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. If you happen to have a site related to sound systems for an example, you must have some keywords and keyword phrases targeted to. There are many tools in the internet which can help you to find out the keyword you should target to.

Keyword density

A good quality seo optimized article must have a good keyword density for a search engine to index it higher. Consider at least ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in an article. Keyword density is important. Keep a density that is not too high neither too low.

Honest words and good content

Build trust in your readers and you can convert them into sales. Write good informative articles. Don’t write craps. Let them know the truth and provide help for their needs. Write with correct spelling and good grammar. Recheck your article before you submit it.

Instead of writing long paragraphs write some points, statistics, facts and figures. I have an article published around a week ago which has tons of good information, points, facts and figures and it has over 5,000 page views for such a short period of time.

Linking back to your site

It is the most important thing to remember. An article without a link back to your site is no use at all. Article directories or e-zines might not accept live links on articles but the signature or author bio section is what you should look forward into. Write a short description and put a back link straight to your site or sales page.

Content is king in the world of internet. If you don’t know how to write your content, no one will ever read your blog no matter what you have on your blog. So is there any rules for a better writing? I wonder there are any. Writing like a coder isn’t the way to impress your readers. Unless of course you want your readers to scare away!
Write like you are expressing your thoughts and feelings with your readers.

Don’t be a robot!
Do you talk to some one who doesn’t know how to talk? Of course not. So why would some one read your blog if you are not good at writing? Write like you are talking to some one, you are sharing your thoughts, ideas, feelings and ask them for their feedback. Blogging is a two way thing, so try to get back the feedback.

Add some fun juice
Blog posts that are worth reading is the way to go. Boring posts will get your blog a nose down to the ground. If you can’t provide something informative and must read, try something interesting. Add some fun juice and add something that is enough to create a buzz. You will get feedbacks and discussions going on your blog.

Straight on the topic
Be on the topic. Keep your thoughts written on a clear and simple manner. Use simple words that could be easily understood. If it’s a sentence and that’s all, just write the sentence. You don’t have to write essays to make the readers understand what you want to say.

Intelligent headlines
How about headlines? Without an attractive headline, your post is in the middle of nothing! Try to be creative and intelligent on this. Try to give an over view of what the article is all about but don’t let them go away. Make them believe that you got something interesting inside so the reader should continue reading.
