How Important are SEO Keywords for Article Submission?

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Should You Include SEO All the Time in Your Articles or Just Following Your Creative Mind Will Suffice?

SEO keywords are actually very important in any form of article writing. If you choose to write without having SEO optimization, it is actually fine too. But the only difference is that your articles will not be found.

Therefore, should you decide to learn SEO techniques and hence, equipping yourself to become an SEO Specialist, for that matter? Or should you only follow your instincts and just keep on writing without caring so much about traffic. Because of the concept idea that if you write very well, your articles will be found eventually. So which category do you belong to? Are you the free and easy type whereby whenever you feel like you want to reassess your SEO optimization, you include that on your articles or whenever you feel like only wanting to write whatever is in your mind, you do that without caring for any SEO techniques. So which do you belong to?

If I think it right, I’d say both options are important. One needs creativity in writing and if an article is filled with lots of keywords without having any body of content, I’ll definitely not be looking at it twice. On the other hand, there have been quite a number of articles that I chanced upon (and there are friends on AC which I totally enjoy their writings), and I would be so engrossed reading and I realized them not including any SEO optimization at all. But yet, I feel that they don’t need to and their articles are already beautiful just like that. However, it doesn’t mean that I do not enjoy reading an article that is filled with keywords. I do, as long as there is something enjoyable for me to read, making me think and a foreword or stuff like that.

If you are someone whom enjoys writing so much, and you would want to consider jumping into the techniques and improve your ranking on search engines, there are many sites that do teach step by step. Nowadays, information is everywhere and anywhere and it’s just a matter of clicking, reading and implementing. Why not tweak your older articles for better optimization and hence, raising the bar of your articles being discovered. It can be done, as long as you want it.

Top 3 Tips for Successful Article Marketing

Monday, September 13th, 2010

Article marketing is a great way to build links to your Website as well as increase your credibility and build your online reputation. However, there is more to article marketing than just writing as much content as possible and submitting your articles to popular directories. Here are the top 3 tips for article marketing success.

Create an enticing headline. Capture the interest of your audience and dare them to read the article. Including a keyword in the title is important, but what good is an article that comes up in the search results that no one is interested in reading? Make your article click-worthy and search engine-friendly.

Provide useful content and don’t advertise. Although the point of article marketing is to drive traffic to your Web site, that doesn’t mean your articles should be an advertisement for your product or service. Write about something interesting that’s related to the field. This will increase your online credibility and help your company’s reputation. This will make people more likely to try whatever you’re selling. Don’t forget to sprinkle relevant keywords throughout the article.

Promote your article. After you write and submit your article to directories, promote it using your social media outlets. Tweet about it, post a link on Facebook and LinkedIn, add a link to your blog and company Web site and let people know about your recent article in your monthly newsletter. Using social media networks will get the word out about your article and help drive traffic to your site faster.

How Headlines Will Impact Your Article Submission

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

“The headline concisely conveys the company’s selling proposition that its memory chip packs can make customers more productive.” – B2B Magazine

The headline contains  the most important words in any article submission, blog post or advertisement. If you can’t sell your readers with those first few words, you’ve just lost a wealth of prospective customers or clients.

B2B Magazine (Oct. 12, 2009) makes this point very simple, “…words still have meaning. So make them count, because audiences actually pay attention to them. But they won’t if the copy and headlines – or both – are rendered meaningless through overuse …or lack content.”

Whether you are writing a full page advertisement, informative corporate article for submission, or a candid blog post, headlines have the greatest impact for viewers. Avoid cliches  as well as overused phrases such as “I’ve/We’ve, solutions for…, newly emerging markets,” and other well-worn boring headlines.

Try one of these headlines to garner more readership and interest from an article submission, courtesy of Chris Garrett.

  • Top Gadgets for _____
  • Top 10 Tips For Hassle Free ______
  • Unusual but Achievable ____
  • Best ____ For Under [Price]
  • Have a ____ You Can Be Proud Of
  • How _____ Will Impact _____ in [Year] (Did you notice this is also the headline for this blog post?)
  • The Modern Rules of ______
  • 7 Most Frightening ____ (appropriate for October article submissions)
  • Top 10 Scary _____ Facts (another good headline for October)
  • ______ Do’s and Don’ts
  • The Real Truth About ______
  • Little Known Ways to _____
  • Top 10 Worlds Cheapest/Best/Most Expensive _____

The bottom line of any headline is to concisely convey the message on every article submission to engage the reader enough to read the entire article, advertisement or blog post. Did I get your attention with this headline?

Article marketing is just as popular as press releases for some companies, and much less expensive. Ask Search Circus about the benefits of article submission and marketing for your company.
