Hello I am kind of wondering what are articles for? For a site. You just write articles and then submit it to article directories and get traffic? But what kind of articles? Like I have a gaming website. What kind of articles should I write, or assign someone else to do it? Any help would be appreciated.
You can use articles for a lot of things: 1. To inform. 2. To market via directories and such. 3. To build incoming links (link bait, or just solid content) 4. To keep a site fresh with readers coming back. You can do a few things with articles once you've written them: 1. Keep them unique to your site, as a feature to draw and keep visitors, and attract natural links. 2. Post them to article directories to get backlinks. 3. Use them in email newsletters to interest subscribers. There are a lot of different types of articles you can write as well. For a gaming site in particular you might try: 1. Reviews of games. 2. Walkthroughs of games. 3. Reviews of other game sites. 4. Reviews of gaming systems. 5. News articles on trends in online gaming, or video games, or something similar. 5. Profiles of game developers or manufacturers. 6. Interviews with game developers. 7. Articles teaching readers how to program their own very basic games. etc.
Yea, she summed it up pretty well. Just write articles about any topic in gaming, and include your link in the bio box. Not only does it provide direct traffic, potentially forever. But also it gives you backlinks to help you out as well! Good luck!
How many keywords do you have for your site? Write an article for every keyword and post them to as many article directories, in as many different categories as possible, then sit back and watch the results! Regards, Gary.
Yeah, well, I'm a writer, I run several content sites, work with content networks, and am in marketing / PR... so I'd better know how to use articles in one way or another by now. To the OP, something that tends to work very well for the larger content sites that I've worked with is developing "hubs" or "webs" of content - a set of articles covering different aspects of the same topic, where they're all interlinked well (for example, you might create a hub on a certain game, where one article covers cheats, one provides a full walkthrough, one provides a profile on the developer, one is a summary/review of the game, and one might be a bit more general like on the genre of the game, video game violence if it applies, etc.). It encourages people to stay on the site a bit longer. Doing the same for a lot of the bigger games might help up your traffic a good bit if you interlink well enough.
You can actually make some decent money writing articles as well. Write 15 500 word articles on a topic, and write them fairly well. Now, sell them as a pack for $7 on WarriorForum.com (WSO section), to a limited base of people, around 30 would be fine. $7 x 30 = $210. Even if it takes you a day to research and write the articles, $210 a day sounds good to me!
You can make more writing articles if you're really good, by knowing where to find markets that pay much more than $210 just for one article (and there are tons).
Exactly there e many websites which hire article writers and hence u can make a good money by writing articles.
can u please let me know,other such websites where i can get jobs for writing and selling articles ...??
This certainly wasn't what jhmattern was referring to... If you were exceptionally good at writing, you'd know all those niches already. Particularly, copywriting makes much more than just a living for very professional writers. If you can help businesses raise profits by having a working copy written by you, you certainly can charge a lot for that copy as well ($300, $500, $700 and even more).
You can often charge thousands per page (for the best) for copywriting, but even for articles, you can make several hundred to a few thousand per article. Right now the minimum any of my articles are sold for is around $200, and that's not often anymore unless it's non-exclusive. The key is networking for finding better gigs like that. But anyway, that's for another thread....
I have some questions: 1. If i'll post my article to directories, can i post it at my site? 2. How long does your articles indexing by Google,MSN,Yahoo? 3. How many links are you using in article? 4. If i using one base of articles directories to submit my articles (many articles) will it merge? sanx. P.s. sorry for my english
Article is the effective tool in promoting site online. Article is used as to inform user about what the company can offer or what information can give to the user Write article that is related to the site that you are promoting and necessary it must have a quality content. Article Submission is important also for your link popularity
I'd suggest that there is a world of difference between someone who is good at writing articles and someone who is good at copywriting in the direct sales/advertising sense that I assume you mean. I know of plenty of writers who are good at doing articles - the researching, articulating, fluent writing, etc - yet lack the necessary additional skills to be a good copywriter such as being able to tap into the target audience's psych. jhmattern's post mentioned articles, not copywriting which I why I posed the question. I quite readily admit that I'm not a copywriter but I think I do alright with article writing.
I am a bit confused over here. What do you mean by saying copyrighting? To register it somewhere so no one steals it? Or to be able to get into the readers mind? I am going to look it up in the copyright forum and hope to figure it out. cheers
