Nothing Is Worse Than Getting An Article Sandboxed
When you use article submission sites there are certain rules of protocol you should use if you are going to get the most out of these sites. If you have submitted content to article submission sites and are not seeing the results of your efforts it could be that you are putting your reputation on the line by making some of these deadly mistakes.
Stop Selling and Start Telling, The Resource Box Affirms The Readers Opinion
The reason the reader is reading the article is to affirm what they think. Chances are that the reader enjoyed your article and that is why they are reading the resource box. It is important not to ruin their opinion of you with a cheesy resource box. In a third party tone you should explain why you are an authority, that you want to offer them more of your expertise and how to get it.
Keep It Short, To The Point And Do Not Confuse Your Reader
It is proven that shorter articles keep the readers attention and guide them where long articles only appeal to a very small number of readers. In today’s information age people do not have 30 minutes to read an article. They have 3-5 minutes so it is important to break your article into three to five smaller article if necessary. This is a real plus for SEO as well
Don’t Beat Around the Bush
Your target audience is probably suffering from information overload which has made them A.D.D., so it is important to keep your article simple and to the point. Focus on your core strengths and tell your reader what it is, what it can do for them and how to take action. Most people are scanning articles nowadays looking for solutions to their challenges. Answer their challenge in a short article and they will jump to another article that you have linked in your article. Guide them through a series of well written short articles and guide them into making the desired decision. For example, the author of this article will break every paragraph of this article into a 300-400 word article. Which of your articles can you do the same?
Overstuffing
Keyword stuffing is not a technique that gives your credibility nor will it get you published. You are writing articles to attract your reader and give you credibility. Do not appear overzealous in your use of keywords as it can come across as being for SEO only. Readers consciously and unconsciously pick up on patterns and if they see a suspicious pattern of keywords in every sentence you might lose credibility. You will definitely lose credibility with the bots and spiders who simply use mathematical equations to count the number of times your article has a keyword in it. Consider one time per paragraph at the most.
Beware of The Ultimate Sins Of Article Submission
This is something you really need to be aware of, search engines are run by mathematical equations and they are programmed to find duplicate content and sandbox the sites that have it and promote the sites who don’t have it. So rule number one for SEO is, do not cut and paste your content. The lazy man approach to creating lots of content is the quickest way to pass go without collecting your $200. Posting duplicate content will defeat the purpose of submitting articles to attract visitors, so wouldn’t this be called insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result?
