Submitting articles is a great way of driving more traffic to your website but this can only be possible if you know how to do things right. How to Drive Traffic to Your Website by Submitting Articles After writing an article, make sure to evaluate it using the following criteria listed below. If you miss any of the factors specified below, do not hesitate to rewrite it until you get everything right. Internet readers are sometimes an unforgiving bunch and you usually have just one chance to convince them that your articles are worth reading. BRIEF An article can be more than one thousand words long but still appear brief. On the other hand, an article could be no more than three hundred words long but still appear tedious. The secret to writing brief articles is keeping your sentences short and punchy. Keep the paragraphs short as well. It is always better to write an article consisting of five short paragraphs than three long ones. COHESIVE An article is cohesive when facts are organized in a logical and easy to understand manner. A cohesive article allows a person to read from start to finish without pausing to analyze something. He could pause but just so he could chuckle. If your reader stops in the middle and appears confused, there is something wrong with your article. COHERENT Internet readers like things simple. When we say you need to write a coherent article, it does not only mean providing a well written article. You have to make sure you stay away from big words and technical terms as well. Internet readers usually skim articles first to gain an idea of whether they are worth reading or not. You have to make sure all your sentences are written as plainly and clearly as possible because you do not know which one of them would catch the reader eyes when skimming. VALUABLE OR INFORMATION DRIVEN Articles must always be packed with information. The details provided must be something that your readers are dying to know nothing more and nothing less. Information included in your articles must naturally be truthful, reliable, and objective. If your reader finds out that you have been simply using false claims and suppositions all along, you will lose that reader for good and word of mouth will be able to ruin your good name in a matter of time. INTERESTING Another challenging demand of Internet articles is the need to make your work sound interesting. Even if you are writing an article about something as mundane as dog collars, you still have to make the topic sound as exciting as a Hollywood premiere. This takes practice and it is easy to go over the top. Humor goes a long way to make your article sound interesting. If that is not possible, you can also try changing the tone of your article and put a whole new light to the topic. VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE Lastly, an Internet article must be visually attractive as well. If you are not providing articles in plain text, do not hesitate to use font colors and other styling effects to emphasize what needs emphasizing. Use capital letters sparingly.Also, if you have lots of points to make then consider providing facts in bulletin board forms or giving people a numbered list like 7 Facts about Me or 10 Tips about You.

A dissertation is a kind of documentary record that highlights the author’s scholastic aptitude. Such a dissertation is mandatory for higher order degrees like doctorates and PhDs. A dissertation is very similar to a thesis considering that both are required to be submitted in order to apply for a doctoral program. However, the terms have a definitive distinction. A dissertation can be simply a treatise created by bringing together data and information from different sources. On the other hand, a thesis is expected to be an original work of research. While both need to compile from prevalent data, a thesis is given a higher weight age than a dissertation Writing a dissertation is perhaps the most demanding piece of writing an academic writer can undertake, those who decide to accept the challenge of writing the doctoral dissertation regard it with awe, fear, and anxiety. Now, we won’t lie to you and tell you that writing a doctoral dissertation could ever be easy, but the following article provides tips and ideas to help ease the difficulties associated with the doctoral dissertation writing process. The dissertation forms the cornerstone of most undergraduate degree programs. It provides the student with an opportunity to develop research skills and critical thinking techniques; it is also often the first real test of a student’s report writing skills. Given its importance, it is perhaps surprising that many students do not know how to write a dissertation and what a dissertation actually entails

Keywords are the words or phrases that people use when searching for things online. The exact words they are typing into those search engines are crucial to how you title your articles and web pages, if you want these searchers to find these. There are keyword research tools for discovering how people search. I have used many of these tools, and I always will. Initially, I looked for keywords with high demand. Then I learned about demand/supply ratios, and started looking for those keywords with decent demand, but fewer web pages targeting them. Then I discovered that the quality of that supply was crucial. I found I could compete on some keywords that are used all over, while failing to compete for those that are used much less. These are valuable things to learn about. Good keyword research is still a crucial art of building a profitable website. However, are there times when you can just simplify the process, or skip it altogether? I think so. Simplified Keyword Research When can you radically simplify your keyword research? When you are determined to have several pages or article on a topic, and there are only a few good keywords for this topic. In that case, just write pages or articles targeting all the appropriate keywords. For example, if you have a new section on brainstorming for your web site about brainpower, you may find only six keywords that are searched more than 200 times per month. “Brainstorming techniques,” may be easy to compete on, while “brainstorming” is tough, but if you have the material in your notes and your head, these are going to be easy pages to make. Why not just make a page for each? In my experience this works especially well if you are writing articles as well as making pages targeting the keywords. A competitive keyword that you can’t use to get traffic to your site will sometimes get search traffic for a more highly ranked article directory - and then the readers can click through to your site. Thus, you can compete indirectly for traffic from tough keywords. Skipping The Keyword Research If you are writing on a topic that is of interest to you for a new page, and you can’t seem to find good keywords, stop trying. When you have an interest in a topic, and you aren’t thinking about what phrases need to be included, you do a better job writing, right? Your site can use some quality pages like that, even if they aren’t found in the search engines. The visitors to your site can find them by way of your own navigational links, and they may become repeat visitors if they find quality writing. Another example of when you can skip the keyword research is when you are writing articles to promote your web site. Generally, even these should be keyword optimized, but there is an exception. When you have a great title, use it regardless of whether you have good keywords in it. A keyword like “travel safety” might have decent traffic, but a title like, “I Was Kidnapped In Columbia” will get attention - and readers. Of course, they won’t find it in the search results. They will only find it when browsing the article directories where you submit the article. That’s okay. You can rewrite it at some point, using the better keywords, so you can get the search traffic as well. Do your keyword research. It really is necessary - most of the time. Copyright Steve Gillman.

I’m an SEO writer and the bulk of my clients are internet marketing firms. Working with them has been an eye opener on many levels, the main one of which is traffic generation. Because they hire me to do the work that generates the traffic for their web clients, following are a few traffic-generating tips I’ve learned. 3-for-1 Blog Posts: One of my clients uses my competence as an SEO writer in the following way: He hires me to write blog posts for three separate blogs. While I write nine posts - three for each blog - there are only three main articles. You see, I write one main post, then rewrite it two more times. I say the same thing, but just in a different way. In this way, he gets a 3-for-1 blog posts that allows him to drive traffic to his sites in a couple of different ways. He uses the posts to submit to article marketing directories, post on a website and to post on a blog. One article generating traffic three different ways - this saves time and money. Become an Industry Leader: Another client relies on my skill as an SEO writer to generate abstracts of articles from industry-leading publications in their niche. This drives traffic in two different ways: (i) it positions them as a go-to source of information, making clients return again and again. Instead of reading long articles from various different publications, clients return to their site again and again to bone up on pertinent information; (ii) The client gives me a keyword phrase to write around. This drives traffic from the search engines to their site on a continuous basis. I write anywhere from three to six abstracts a week for this client. This means their site is constantly being updated with fresh, relevant information. Talk about generating search engine juice! Keywords Drive Traffic: If you don’t take the time to figure out keywords for every article, blog post and updated page on your site, you’re really missing out on traffic. A skilled SEO writer can help you choose keywords if you don’t know how, or have to time to devote to the process. The bulk of clients who hire me as an SEO writer order keyword-driven text. Even web content you wouldn’t think to optimize, they optimize (eg, press releases). The Key to Increasing Web Traffic: Just in case you haven’t noticed, the running thread in all of these lessons is fresh content - produced by an experienced SEO Writer — that is optimized for search engines. This is the key to driving traffic to your site. The bottom line is, if it’s going to be posted to the web, you should optimize it for search engines and you should update your site often. Internet marketing firms charge thousands of dollars to employ these key methods - because they work. Now if these techniques are good enough for internet marketing firms, shouldn’t they be good enough for you? Employ a skilled SEO writer to get you on your way.

Write down what your up sell offers or possibilities are. This is where a lot of small business professionals miss out. They fail to create up sell offers. Create your up sell offers and opportunities before you even write your sales letter so that they can be woven into your back end pages and sales messages. 4. Write a list of Benefit Bullets. What do they get will they experience upon purchasing this product, what will this product give them. 5. Make a list of bonus gifts. Select bonus gifts before you write the sales letter. This way you can include the benefits in your sales message as a part of your product. 6. Develop your guarantee. Think about it?

They don’t haggle over whether they should or shouldn’t. 7. Gather your testimonials into one file. If you don’t have any yet for a new product, use famous quotes about your field until you get some. Sprinkle throughout your copy. 8. Go look at your competitor’s sales page. Examine their FAQs (see if you missed any), what are their bonus gifts, what is their guarantee, what is their up sell, if any? I made this step last so you wouldn’t be tempted to just be a copy cat. But you can use your competitor’s sales pitch as a measuring stick. How did you measure up? Did you whiz past; leaving them in a cloud of dust? Or did you miss a few things that you will now add after examining their pages? Preparation for your super sales maker will give you the competitive edge you have been looking for. Put these steps into place before you even write your sales letter and sell more. Enjoy the journey and life is made easier. About the Author .sales-page-rapid-fire.com .sales-letters-creator.com

If you want to increase your freelance income, find your unique voice. What do I mean by this? A personal story: About three years ago, I started to market myself as an “conversational” writer. Meaning, my writing connects with readers, not by polished so that it sounds like business speak, but by being conversational in tone, as if the customer were sitting right across the table. I enjoy this type of writing; it fits my personality. Hence, it flows more easily. And, you know what, my income has increased because of it. I can’t attribute this change to so-called better work, but because it flows easier, I’m able to work faster and with more creative juices flowing. Sure, I can still do “business speak” pieces. But, I enjoy the conversational, more chatty pieces better because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 40 years on this earth is that people want — and need — a human connection. And, this usually occurs in the simplest of ways

Article marketing is a very good way to accumulate backlinks that point back to your site and generate visitors. Unfortunately, search engine companies like Google have clammed down hard on duplicate content so your works must appear somewhat ‘original’ or unique to be acceptable in article directories. In this article you’ll discover quick tips to rewriting one good article under 1 hour and you’ll have no worries about other writers accusing you of plagiarism. First of all, there must be an appropriate mindset that comes before the skill. If I may attribute a quote by Stephen King correctly, he said, “The more you read, the more you write.” It simply means anyone is capable of mentally storing accumulated knowledge for as long as s/he keeps reading, and with this pool of knowledge arise a desire to express oneself based on what s/he knows. This is the fundamental first step to establishing expertise. No one can lie about what s/he doesn’t know and shouldn’t downplay what they truly know if they can be in a position to help others and get paid for it. Second, the structure and length of the article must be determined before writing commences. I recommend a length of 410 words to beat the minimum limit for acceptable article submission. A classic set of criteria for structuring would be: 1. Describe a problem, challenge or scenario that needs to be fixed. 2. Describe the consequences if the problem remains ignored. 3. List down possible solutions to help fix the problem. Put them in point form. 4. Highlight the benefits of applying the solutions. 5. Present in a case study, a real or theoretical positive outcome when the solutions are applied. 6. Summarize the key theme of the article and re-emphasize the need to solve the problem. End it with a “call to action”. A 410-word article is really short and you’ll surely find yourself surpassing this limit when you practice writing often enough. Another thing to bear in mind is the use of synonyms. As you research for your content, be alert for words which you can replace with another of the same meaning. This will help you beat duplication. The most wonderful thing about rewriting content is that although your words have to be unique, the ideas behind them are not. You can research a wide range of PLR articles or other people’s articles and cut them up, add to them, combine them with other content, or go one step further and create an e-book or audio/video product only because you don’t feel ‘right’ with how they write…the sky really is the limit! Include your own personal opinions and experiences about the topic or explain in greater detail the theories or concepts that are only mentioned briefly in other articles. Coming up with a list of solutions in point form is as easy as deriving one tip you can summarize in a single statement from each and every article you research. The more things you can think of, the more unique your resulting product will be. Rewriting articles is not difficult at all. It’s not like I’m asking you to “start from scratch”. Once you get past the initial phase and develop a habit and a personal taste for expressing yourself in a professional way, article writing can be a very enjoyable activity. You can do it fast and never have a shortage of unique content again! Click here to get 111,107 articles for only $1! Nelson Tan is the webmaster behind Internet Mastery Center.

If you’re an online writer who knows search engine optimization (ie, SEO copywriter), chances are you know more — much more — than your clients and many other freelance writers about internet marketing. And, if you’re good at it, you can make money a few extra hundred dollars a week (or day, if you market right) from this knowledge. This is over and beyond just writing simple SEO articles. Following are three easy, profitable, add-on services you can offer to your clients. By becoming more of a “one-stop, SEO shop” you will not only increase the number of clients you have, but how much money you make as well. I. Internet Marketing Consultant: Many clients — especially those who are just beginning to pay attention to how powerful the web can be to their bottom line — know next to nothing about internet marketing. When you mention things like meta tags, long-tail keywords and keyword discovery, their eyes may glaze over. This is good for you, for you can offer internet marketing consulting packages. How much should you charge as an SEO consultant? Well, that depends on a variety of things, eg, your level of knowledge, how much time comes in each package, whether you offer a written report, etc. Do some web surfing to see what others are charging. At a minimum from a precursory web search, the going rate seems to be somewhere around $100/hour. The beautiful thing about being a consultant is that you charge what you want (always keeping in mind what the market will bear). II. Social Media Marketing: Many SEO writers are intimately familiar with social networking sites like Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, etc. Many clients aren’t. Again, this presents a perfect opportunity for you to offer these services to clients. Anyone who’s ever set up a Twitter account, for example, knows that it can be done literally in under a minute. And, all you have to do is post to it three or four times a day. If you set up and monitor accounts like this for clients, it’s literally just minutes out of your day — and you can charge handsomely for it as most clients just want to be active in these mediums. BUT, they don’t have the time or know how to manage these accounts themselves. So, they gladly pay freelancers like you to do it for them. III. Ebook Tutorials: Ebook tutorials are an excellent way for clients to maximize their time, while generating leads and sales at the same time. For example, if your client is a web design firm, you can point out to them how easy it would be to separate themselves from the competition by giving away a free ebooklet detailing all the benefits of having a website. Or, you can show them how an ebook will help them save time by giving away a “most frequently asked questions” tutorial. While SEO content may be your bread and butter as an SEO writer, these easy-to-offer ancillary services can be quite profitable. And, they provide variety to your work day. May be reprinted with the following, in full: To learn everything you need about how to start a lucrative online writing career as an SEO writer career, log on to Work-from-Home-Writing-jobs.com for first-hand information from a successful SEO copywriter. There are tons of testimonials from others who’ve found success in this freelance wriitng niche as well.

There is some wisdom in saying that when you are in the jungle and are faced with a hungry bear, you’d better be good at thinking on your feet. If you’re not strong, be quick. This is also the case in today’s publishing environment. If you are looking at these ezine articles, you are either in need of content, or have just submitted your own article and are now seeing if it stands out from the crowd. Whether you are an upstream or a downstream customer doesn’t matter, but if you want to survive in today’s publishing environment, it is essential that you have a clear view of some of the intersecting points in this industry itself. Any surface work quickly learns that ‘free content’ is among the largest intersections where editors and webmasters meet. Many people wonder who facilitates all this sugar-and-spice world of content. How is it possible that whilst you pay good money for your daily newspaper, you can get whatever is written in the paper times 500 for free on the internet? The short answer is one word: distribution. Distribution, or aggregation of content as a totally free commodity is quite a new idea but it started to become important seven years ago, when publishers became more and more enticed with the idea that advertising revenue based business models were overtaking subscriptions in terms of attraction. It meant quite a gamble, but when new titles showed the viability and profitability of this model, very many other publications followed suit. It was going to be the idea of the future and the advertising driven revenue model has dominated the internet publishing sector from its very start. Free content has since evolved and is very likely here to stay, since new business models are adopting the principle and weave alternative income streams around it. As Jeff Jarvis from .buzzmachine.com says; “This is the new distributed world. I don’t know how anybody makes money in it but I do see how many people save money. As has been cited too often now, Craig destroyed — did not transfer but destroyed — an estimated $65 million in classified revenue in San Francisco alone. But Craig still charges for listing jobs. Indeed doesn’t; it merely finds them.” Craig being Craig’s list, a highly successful aggregator, first of jobs and now everything under the sun in the classifieds market and Indeed being a similar outfit. Jarvis goes on to point out that “aggregation is cheap. Aggregation is efficient.” And he’s right. I have yet to come across estimates of the value of the so called ‘free’ content market across the internet, but this is of less relevance than its new role. Companies looking to cut costs, turn to free content. This way, it is playing an incredible role in the economy. It is valued but as an economic instrument, rather than a commodity with a usual price tag. Content is King and at a ‘Kingly’ fee. You might say that the tax exemption that most countries reserve for their royalty translates in cyber ventures as publishers’ inability to use content as a control tool in the traditional way. “The technology won’t allow that to happen. You can’t “get to scale” that way”, says Jarvis. The open source idea of content makes all of us a little bit more amenable to outsiders. It is simply impossible for one player to have all the goodies on one particular subject. “You must be open to others owning pieces of the equation. You must let the users get the value of scale however they choose to create that scale. You must facilitate the creation of virtual scale”, says Jarvis. As we are being democratised by technology this way, we are likely to adopt a totally new idea of achieving economies of scale and critical mass. This term as such is slowly dying out. Scale simply don’t scale anymore. It’s over guys. Nobody believes in authoritarian pretense no more. There’s always a fifth if not sixth opinion if you’ve managed to convince everybody you monopolise the first four. “The old days of big players in the economy collecting consumers, audience, distribution, manufacturing efficiency, buying power, or capital in the grip of centralized control are waning. That used to be the way to find efficiency and size. That used to be the way to scale. But they are being foiled by our new distributed world. And they are being replaced by a more efficient means of finding size and efficiency,” says Jarvis. Aggregation is the new scale. To get through to target markets, you need to be simple and craft your message clearly, concise and on target. Aggregation in cyber space is similar to decentralisation in the rest of society. It’s getting more popular. People all over the world are getting the hang of spontaneously forming clusters grouping together in schemes, outmanoeuvering companies and governmental organisations. Anarchy in its positive format is expanding. So whether you were just looking to find content, this might only just be the beginning of your search. Sure, many aggregators won’t let you have their news for free when you are not a private entity, but the general idea has been born and it’s cottoning on. Fast. Are you wondering how you can be part of the new content revolution? Clustering is the key around which everything evolves. News aggregators are all very busy categorising their news in recognisable categories. All you need to do is hitch up with a few people in creating either a new category or establishing yourself as a player in a recognized field and submit your feeds. People that take them are of course Yahoo.com, but also lesser known entities such as Newsnow.co.uk and Daypop.com. Not to speak of the blog possibilities, which are endless. You can go around this in a myriad of ways, but it’s best to center your efforts around a hub, make sure you coordinate everything before submitting anything. Why would you do this? Well, dumbass, for the same reason as why you are visiting this website! To publish news about your area of expertise, or to find articles about topics you are interested in. If you find it difficult to do this all by yourself, there are of course people specialising in this field. Notably ourselves. If you are interested in getting customized newsfeeds only, you can also go to .newsknowledge.com. But just remember; what they create is something you and a few likeminded peers can OFFER. Getting on in the world’s no longer black and white affair, but more like a Be-With-It affair.
