Eight Mistakes you Make When Writing Articles

By Brent Sweet

Besides being in position one on Google no other method brings you targeted visitors better than Article Submission. This build rapport and brings users who are ready to buy to your website. If you make mistakes though, your article will just waste your time.

The way to have your articles distributed everywhere is to NOT do the following:

Number One: Spell everything correctly and make sure your grammar is good. Use a simple spell check tool to make sure you are passing.

Number Two: Don't promote so much. If you have all this hype in your articles it is a turn off. Use a press release for hype. Articles are designed to share information. Save the hype for your resource box.

Number Three: Write about things you know. Articles are not to solicit information from people, use a forum post for that. You are the expert who is informing the reader. If you don't know what you are talking about pick another subject.

Number Four: Stick to a single, specific topic. Don't write about more than one subject in the same article. You would be amazed at how many people do this.

Number Five: Make use of the title to actually bring people in who are willing to read, not just to be a topic of your article.

Number Six: Buying or plagiarizing articles. You need to be the author of your article. By reproducing the content already on the internet you are not helping yourself.

Number Seven: Use your resource box to promote yourself, sure, but don't over do it. Do not promote four or five different sites. Promote the site related to your topic.

Number Eight: Blasting duplicate articles all over the internet. Spin your articles a few times at the very least so that they are different, or pay a service to do this for you. - 16039
