Articles and Links

Articles and Links
By Vickie J. Scanlon

Article marketing is the writing of short articles that is related to your business field of industry. It's a great way to get one-way links and to help to increase traffic to your site.


Links within an Article

If you are not planning on sending your article viral than links within your webpage copy is great. However, if you're planning on sending your article viral, it is best to utilize the Resource Box at the end of the article. Why? Because your article will, in most cases, be rejected by the Article Directory.

The Article Directory is looking for information only within the body of the article, and not looking for self-promotion-Sales copy, in other words. Can't blame them. However you can utilize the one area - the Resource Box.


Your Resource Box

The Resource box, is your advertisement. In most cases they will allow up to three links within the resource box. With that in mind...

When writing an article, also keep in mind your advertising links you want to use, or will be using. If you are talking about a specific product or service that is a web page on your website, be sure and place a link to that web page. In other words, make total use of the Resource Box and do not direct it just to your home page.

As you have probably figure out, the resource box is for lead generation and link building. So, it is wise to experiment with your resource box, creating several different info resource boxes. You'll soon determine which description pulls your target market to your site.

So, what at a minimum should a good resource box include?

• your name,

• business (if appropriate)

• website, webpage links to direct people who are interested in your product/s or services

• description of your service or product

Though simple, sometimes the simple things are missed. So don’t miss the simple things that can and will pull your target market to your site.

Titles, Subtitles, Content and Your Audience

Titles, Subtitles, Content and Your Audience

By Vickie J. Scanlon


Titles and subtitles are an important part of creating an article and or a sales page. Why?


Selective Reading

People on the Internet are selective readers. Will they read the first paragraph of your article? Not if they can’t get past your Title.

In most cases people are attracted by the “Title”, which is found in the search engine results. Thus, it makes sense that the Title includes the specific keyword(s) that will lead your reader to your content. With the specific keyword within the Title you have captured too things, the search engines and your target market. This title must appear not only in the obvious position-in the beginning of your article, but also in your Meta Tag Title.

If your title invites them in, the Internet reader will quickly skim over your subtitles, and stopping to read the content under a subtitle that may interest them or solve their problem. It is only then that they may warrant a complete read.


Subtitles-Do I Need Them?

Do you need subtitles for your article. Yes? If you decide just to have straight copy without subtitles, you have crippled your article and the reader. The reader will find it difficult to get a quick read of what your content is all about.


Elements of a Subtitle

Your subtitle should have the following elements:
· Informative – the subtitle should to relevant to the paragraph below.
· Engaging – the subtitle should not be bland or none descriptive. That would quickly lose the reader.
· Keyword rich- On the Internet, your keywords are the only way in which the search engines can grab the importance of your article. You have to remember, when you write an article you are writing for your audience and the search engines.


To conclude, on the Internet we have millions of selective readers. Thus, you only have a moment to grab their attention and hold it. My advise, write the article first, then go back and carefully craft your subtitles to benefit you, your audience and the search engines.
