Hello , It looks really easy everybody around talking about article writing and how it effects ranking .. will some body tell the newbies like me about the basics ..i have these questions . should the article subject be about my site or general subject related to my homepage . do i have to mention my url inside the article . will be happy to get some tips regards
I'm with you, I just made a post like this, would love to see some more info on writing articles. What about us that are offering services, and not cat selling, so we cant just write about cats?
You should write about a subject related to your site. On the article sites I'm familiar with your URL goes in the Author's Box/Bio. The idea is to entice your reader into wanting more info on the subject so they click your link
If we are running a Website Design business, what would we write on? I'm certainly not an expert in any of the coding areas!
You could write about how a good web site design can improve traffic what to look for in hiring a web designer important steps in web design how to talk with a web designer mistakes you don't want your web designer to make how to find a good web designer Does this help?
Yes, it does, thank you. Is the point of the articles to gain say, 100 people that read the story and click through to your website, or is the point to write the article good enough so it stays on the site posted to, and provides a backlink?
Both. And there is a third goal....having your article good enough to be downloaded from the article site and posted elsewhere, with a link back to the source.....this gets you more back links and more readers
It can be on any topic related to your niche. What you should also do is to understand the keyword research part and find out about the level of competition and profitable keyword.
First of all, you need to define where you will be posting your articles. I'm assuming that you will be using it for your website's content and for article directory submissions so you can build back links. In my opinion, before you start a website or submit to directories, you need to find the keywords that will bring traffic to your site. One example of a tool that can help you figure out keywords to use in your articles is Google's free keyword tool https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for keywords that have low monthly searches but not too low. What "low" means will depend on your own judgment. Of course, this is only the tip of the iceberg. SEO and article experts use many other techniques
Well Friend, it is a subject by itself, only experts can guide you better, wishing best of luck. siiddharth (just like you)
