Writing Articles - How Can You Write Good Articles?

By Gene Fink


Nowadays, people look to writing articles online as the form of writing that can generate the most impact on the Internet community. The sheer overwhelming power of the cyberspace revolution now allows us to touch anybody around the world with our incisive views on a variety of different topics depending on the type of business we are operating. Since blogs and websites, as mentioned, are now more than just idle pastimes, you can bring more business to those forms of online expression through writing.

First off, you want to have a title that can captivate audience interest. Yes, it is important to make sure your title can inveigle individuals to read the rest of your article. For example if you are writing an article on travel tips for Brazil tourism, you may decide to go with a simple title of "Brazil travel tips", but it would be preferable to have the title look like "Going to Brazil - Important Brazil travel tips", this will grab better attention and interest.

You can make your article more readable by breaking it down with numbering or bullet points. You can enter certain key points of your article in bold face for extra emphasis. Put pictures if you can, for example while writing a travel article, include maps, points of interests and other useful contact information.

Length of article. There are no hard, fast rules when it comes to length, but ideally, 300 to 500 words would be easiest to digest.

Use SEO techniques. This would be simple search engine optimization through the use of H1 tags, meta tags and other interesting tools to help improve your article's search engine rankings. Oh, and before we forget, your images would need some ALT tags as well.

Submitting your article. It's all about finding directories or websites that have the same niche as the article you are writing, and this is where you would ideally want your articles to be submitted to. For instance, if you are writing about travel to Brazil, you would definitely not want to submit it to a niche directory catering to finance or business.

Submit articles frequently. Website owners should definitely be encouraged to write all they want. This keeps your information fresh and keeps your readers coming back for more information or more advice.

Write quality content. Creating original, quality content is always a benefit to every article - write only to the extent of your knowledge or what you have researched on, never falsify your content. Try to make your content as unique and unusually presented as possible. Always date your articles for added credibility.

Using examples to explain the meaning behind your point can give readers your own unique view on things.

If you are writing an especially long article, use internal hyperlinks to get readers to other points in your article, and place headings on top of it. A great example of this is wikipedia encyclopedia.

Social bookmark sites. Once you have published your article online, you can use social networking as an option for bookmarking. This would bring even more web surfers over to your article.
