How to Easily Write Your Articles
Do you struggle to write valuable articles that are concise and informative? If so then read on to learn some tips and techniques that can assist you with your article writing.
Most beginning authors have trouble writing good articles. Often times you will stare at a blank screen and just don’t know where to start. If you have a plan such as an outline, then this helps by focusing your attention on each part of the process instead of the whole project at once. An outline can make it manageable and easier.
Now that you understand how an outline can help, let’s look at an example that has worked for many successful authors.
Where to start
First write an outline for your article. The outline could go like this.
1. Article Title: Choose an eye-catching, keyword filled descriptive headline.
2. Article Introduction: Introduce your subject by telling the reader about the subject, and what exactly the points is that you will be discussion.
3. Sub Headlines: (There could be 3 sub headlines here take or give a few) List each sub headline.
4. Article conclusion: Sum up what you just discussed while giving any solutions or advice.
5. Your resource Box: An interesting sentence or two with a link back to your web site.
Each sub headline will be one point from several in your article. This will make your article easier to write and read.
Now you will want to do research on your subject. You can do this by searching on Google, Wikipedia and Article directories to name a few. It may be easier if you research each sub headline separate.
Okay, gather your notes and begin writing your article. Do not copy and paste. You should use your own words. Often it helps if you write like you talk.
Just follow the outline above and fill in each section. When you are done go over it and see how well it reads. Change anything that doesn’t flow well so that it does. After you are satisfied go back over your article and fix any grammar mistakes and miss-spellings.
Finally have someone else read your article and give feedback to you.
You may find this to be a bit hard at first, but once you do it a few times it will speed up your writing and increase your article appeal too.
Why are you still sitting there? Let’s get that article going.
Optimizing your web pages in an ethical way so that they rank better in the search engines.
White Hat SEO is optimizing your web pages in an ethical way so that they rank better in the search engines.
Black Hat SEO is using tricky and unethical practices to try and get higher rankings.
The search engine understandably doesn’t like Black Hat techniques. You may wonder what these comprise of.
Here are some Black Hat techniques that you should avoid if you value your rankings:
- Cloaking
This is a technique that displays different content to the search engine and the visitors. This way they can add many keywords to what the search engines see. This may be unreadable to humans. Then the humans are fed another page design for them.
- Duplicate Content
Some sites will use duplicated content which is frankly spammed. This could be duplicate content on the same site or content that was copied from another site. If you abuse this technique than you could be banned from some search engines.
- Irrelevant keywords in the meta tags
If you add keywords in the Meta tags that aren’t actually on the web page, then this is considered spamming. If you want your rankings lowered then that’s the way to do it.
- Linking to Bad Neighborhoods
Make sure you only link to Good Neighborhoods. Don’t link to sites that spam or use any type of Black Hat SEO. That will surely backfire on you.
- Hidden Text
If you try to add hidden text by making the text color the same as, or close to the background, then that’s Black Hat SEO and you could very easily be removed from the search engines. This also goes for very tiny text. If your visitors can’t read it easily, then it better not be there!
- More than one Title
Just like keyword stuffing, don’t do it. You should only have one title tag per page. Be careful, sometimes you can do this accidentally. Double check to make sure there’s only one title tag.
Sometimes Black Hat can deliver fast results, but they don’t last long. Eventually your rankings will drop way down or you could be banned from the search engines.
You can get great, long-lasting results from White Hat SEO. So don’t fool with the latter.
SEO is not spam unless you abuse it. Just use common sense. Write good content with your visitors in mind. Don’t try to trick them or the search engines.
White Hat SEO evolves writing good quality content. Don’t try to use spammy tricks. Deliver great content to your visitors and the search engines. Don’t hide text, or stuff Meta tags with keywords that shouldn’t be there. Make sure your title tag and other Meta tags reflect your page.
Just don’t do anything that you feel uncomfortable about. Double check your content and Meta tags for errors. Use only White Hat SEO techniques that are lasting and honorable.
Using White Hat SEO will take you to the top of the rankings, while the Black Hat abusers will eventually fall right off the web.
