What has worked best for you in writing articles? Heart or hype?

[ErikJ]

I have been writing many different articles since I have discovered how it can boost traffic and build many different links back to my site. So I write at least one article a day or try to at least. Some days I have few ideas and copy and idea or material from something else not word for word but the main theme and sometimes I get really good ideas and write just from what inspired me at that exact moment. I am wondering if anyone else has similiar experiences and does the inspired at the moment article get more traffic for you. I am wondering if people can tell the difference and how much

does anyone have any thoughts or experiences?

I would suggest heart with hype. Meaning write good articles and then hype them up. Search for people interested in your niche and promote away. At the same time do it with heart. Don't Spam, it is short term fix for a long term problem.

That is what I am discovering some articles that I have written that I wrote out of an idea and then wrote it down real quick have recieved allot more views than the ones I just relayed info I have learned

I am writing articles on tree regularly since I have a site that sell tree seeds, especially bonsai species.

I have found that rich informative article are great for constant traffic. Those with heart and opinions and with a great title will bring traffic at first then less as time goes.

Hi! I'm looking for a partner to exchange articles. Link exchange is also available (we offer the indirect link exchange to a site PR>=3 of software development company).

So much for heart...:rolleyes:

Definitely find a balance. The best is to find hyped topics that you are passionate about but that's not always easy.

Your "real quick" articles probably get more views in the short-term because they are relevant to something that is probably more current - which is what got your attention/brainstorm in the first place. If you can write topical articles that obviously generate page views, just try to keep the long-term in mind (i.e, what will this article look like in 1-6 months when someone has clicked in from somewhere else). That's where the true value is.

The most popular for my sites are usually sex-related keywords. It is a shame, but it drives traffic and even if only a few of the people that came looking for sexy girls come back for more, it is still a boost. One drawback is a high bounce rate though as my site isn't about sexy girls. But some articles are....

[ErikJ]

so finding a balance is the right way in general but getting the people to the site and the article is through heart or something unconventional at times

[sirrus]

IMO, yes. "unconventional at times" = niche :)

Yes. I think you got it. Will the article still be relevant 6 months or even 1 or 2 years down the road. This will increase visits abd build some constant traffic. Rep added.

Thanks for the rep :)

If you, like me, find it difficult to continually write educated, well researched and professional articles send me a PM. I will not advertise online, but will gladly send you a reference on how to hire this talent. The average 800 word article runs me about $8 each in groups on 10 - 12 articles.

You supply the assignment and subject, keywords, keyword density expected and set the deadlines. Expect a turn around of around a week for 10 articles.

A link to me from your site will definately assure a quick response.
