Essential Article Writing Information (and RSS Feeds)
Article writing is a great way to show your expertise and get the word out about your website. There are many things to consider in writing articles and important steps in getting them noticed.
The Article:
Let's start with the article itself. We know that it needs to be informative and relative. The topic most be well written and in good form. Your spelling and grammar should be checked and doubled checked, and your word count needs to be at least 300. Many article sites require more than that. Read submission requirements before adding your articles.
The wonderful part about article writing is that you are able to add your link to the bottom of each article which gives your website exposure (for free). Many have a resource box where you list a short bio of yourself and/or a pitch on your website.
With most article sites they include, RSS feeds which allows even great exposure for you.
What You Need To Know:
In a recent interview with Christopher Knight, the owner of Ezines.com, by Net Biz Review, he explained a few thing that an article writer you must keep in mind.
"...1-10 articles is not enough. Write, submit, and track the records from 50-100 articles before determining if this strategy is right for you."
"...the real spoils, in terms of massive gobs of qualified visitors and targeted traffic coming back to the author's website mainly went to the top 14% of our authors who submitted more than 11 articles or more."
So as we can see, power is in the numbers. Writing more articles increases your exposure and thus your traffic. There are other places to add these writings.
Bloggers:
For those writing articles in other places, such as bloggers, you will want to post your blogs and then burn your feeds. This is an RSS.
What is an RSS?
An RSS is a web feed format used to publish your blog (s). This feed allows your blog to be published once but be viewed by many different types of programs. It is referred to as Really Simple Syndication. To burn your own feed: http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/home (this is of no charge).
For Your Website:
For your website there are feed icons. I recommend the icons through Mozilla Firefox Foundation. They are made them to be freely used. Read their guidelines before using them. Their service is for the community wanting to use the icon for their products and services.
Conclusion:
The more articles that you write and the more blogs that you post will benefit you and your website. Add your blogs to RSS as well as implementing the icon onto your website. The point is to draw attention in every manner possible. This will also raise your rankings in the search engines as well, and we all want that!
