How to Effectively Write Articles
Writing articles that are designed to attract website owners and ezine publihers are written much the same way that other articles are written but with a few very significant differences.
Website owners and ezine publishers look for articles that: 1.
Have attention getting headlines that also have key words in them.
Website owners and ezine publishers are well aware of the notoriously short attention span of the average Internet surfer.
They know they have about 30 seconds to convince a surfer to actually read an article.
If the headline inst attention getting and if it doesn't have key words, the surfer will...
well..
..
surf away.
2.
Have an attention holding first line.
This same notoriously impatient surfer reads the headline and then his eyes automatically go to the first line of the first paragraph of an article.
If the surfer is attracted by the headline and his attention can be held through the first sentence, there is an excellent chance that he will read the remainder of the article.
3.
Are short.
Articles submitted to article directories must never be more than 300-400 words.
Remember that notoriously short attention span? If you want readers to get to the all important resource box, hold those articles down to 300 to 400 words.
4.
Follow the rules: Each article directory has its own rules and regulations regarding submissions.
Some limit the number of links that may be included in the resource box; others have stringent requirements for other aspects of the articles they accept.
Be sure that you always follow the rules to the letter.
Article marketing is an effective marketing tool and can provide excellent results if the articles are well-written and follow the rules.
