    you seem to go on the right path.

    people generally say that they are gonna type 10 articles a day eachof 300 words but end up leaving blogging . you do the way you are planning. do a article daily, link up each URL and your good hard work will pay you off

    I know you said you're not a native English speaker, but make sure to check your spelling. Google actually looks at spelling and, in some cases, grammar. If many words are spelled incorrectly, Google is more likely to think you're spamming the system.

    Very well, you can write an article of 150 or less. Even some article directories accept 150 word and 250 word article.

    Most people write lengthy article because they have the skills or the topic warrant it.

    Open an account with ezine or use microsoft word, article jockey is good for seo, sometimes its good just to post titles and nothing else. Scraper sites will pick up the links if its a popular topic and link back.

    150 - 300 words is a good length for a blog post. In my opinion a blog post should be long enough to say whatever it is that you are trying to say. If you are adding fluff to your articles just to make them appear longer, you will diminish the quality of your articles and people will not read them.

    I usually outsource my article writing. Below are my instructions that I request my article writers to follow. You can apply most of them to your article writing efforts.

    IMPORTANT: Must provide at least 1-2 legitimate tips, tricks and/or insights to be included in article that are of "VALUE".

    Requirements:

    1. Must use the following primary keyword with this spelling a minimum of 3 times and maximum of 5 times: "Article Keyword Here".
    2. A keyword contained inside another word or phrase counts as a usage. (Example: Web Development technology would count as a usage for Web Development technologies since Web Development is contained within both phrases)
    3. If any keywords are proper nouns (such as a place, a person's name, or product name), you should use appropriate capitalization.
    4. Must not mention any brand names. (Unless a brand name part of a keyword above.)
    5. Must not mention any websites. Unless otherwise stipulated.
    6. Paragraphs must be separated by a blank line.
    7. There must be no line breaks in the middle of a paragraph.
    8. Each paragraph must be at least 40 words and no more than 100 words.
    9. Total word count for the article must be at least 350 words and no more than 500 words.
    10. Write using American English.
    11. No obvious spelling or NO grammar mistakes (except as required if the keywords are ungrammatical or misspelled). Please use a spell-checker before submitting. A free online spell checker can be found at www.spellcheck.net.
    12. Article must be of a positive nature, unless specified otherwise in the topic summary. Example: If writing about Web Development technologies, do not write an article about all the reasons why some Web Development technologies are Bad investments! Always try to keep positve tone.
    13. Article facts must be true and verifiable -- no "made up" content.
    14. Article content must be "professional," unless explicitly asked to use humor.
    15. Article must not read like an advertisement.
    16. There should be NO text formatting (ie. bold or italics) and NO paragraph headings.
    17. Must be your own Original material from your own research.
    18. Normally I use different people for each article. This way content stays fresh and unique.

    Hope this helps?

    A blog post can be really short as many or few words as you wish
    But an article which you intend to publish and distribute to article sites
    needsto be a little longer around 300-500 words I think

    I think your going on the right direction. Make sure you check your spelling and grammar. Try making it as good as you can get it. Read over the article 2 - 3 times just incase you have miss something. Good luck.
