Writing Keyword Articles

Looking for a way to drive highly targeted traffic to your website?

Writing great articles with lots of good content is a great way to drive traffic to your website or your blog. Here are some easy article writing tips and hopefully some information to help you get started...

Tip number one! Start writing! For a lot of people, writing keyword articles intimidates them and they never pick up a pen or hit the keyboard - lol!

If you know what you are writing about, keyword phrases will automatically fall into place for you. For instance, if you are writing about moms in home businesses , you will have phrases like " marketing home based businesses" , "stay at home moms" , "making money at home" , etc, popping up all through your article. They will just slip in without you even thinking about it!

After your article is written, sit down and think of the different phrases people would put into the search bar to look for the information in your article. A keyword search tip that I have used quite a bit is to put quotation marks around a specific phrase to see how often it is used . If the search is relatively low and you are confident of your niche, it is very likely a profitable keyword.

Here's the important point to remember when writing an article. Your article must stand alone as an independent piece of work, with useful information. Choose a topic to write about that you can be passionate about. Make it YOU... one of the best article writing tips I can give you is to just be you! Do a keyword search for your topic and weave them into your article in such a way as to captivate your audience and still please the search engines..

Articles are all about content. You are not selling your product, or your opportunity. The whole purpose of writing captivating articles is make it such a worthwhile piece of work, that many publishers will want to get it out there to their subscribers.

Your resource box is where your ad is. If your article is worth their while , many will click on the links in your resource box and that, my friend is how you generate the traffic to your website or your blog. Your reader will feel like he is beginning to know you, by reading your article and will become a highly targeted prospect that you are guiding through your information.

It will take some time the first time you start writing keyword articles, because it is a bit more difficult than just writing a letter to a friend! But the really neat thing is that you can submit your article and get them published for free. So commit to writing an article a week to begin with and then as you get more comfortable, write captivating articles about subjects relevant to your products or opportunity and you will generate highly targeted and qualified traffic to your site...

Where do you find the places to publish your articles?? Do a search for "article directories" and you will find a host of places that will publish your articles for you. When submitting your articles, be aware of the type of articles the site is looking for. Some accept any articles while others are looking for specific subjects...

Although it may be slow to start, you'll start getting a trickle of new traffic from people who have come across your article somewhere, some place and were interested enough to click on the link in your resource box. Soon that trickle will turn into a stream and hopefully into a river of highly targeted traffic for you!

Article Marketing Success In Less Than 10 Minutes

To put it simply, article marketing is about writing articles to promote your website or business. So that means whoever writes the most amount of articles is going to win. This is where time comes into place. For an article marketer, time means everything. If your taking more than thirty minutes creating just one simple article, your going to lose. Why? Because other article marketers in your industry are going to flood the market before you. That is why time is so important in article marketing. So to help you create an article in less than ten minutes, I have come up with a strategic guide.

The strategic guide to writing a successful article in less than ten minutes!

  • Taking your subject and breaking it up into sub topics is a great way to write a fast article. Instead of writing on your subject as a whole, just write about a simple fragment of your subject. It'll be faster to write and much more simple.

  • Putting bullet points in your article will make your article writing faster. With bullets, you can write sentences without connecting it to the last one. This can save you time and get you closer to writing an article in less than ten minutes.

  • Time yourself daily. Make a new time limit each time and try to work on getting it before then.

  • Writing endless amounts of articles will not only help to advertise your website or business, but it will help you trying to write faster articles. The more articles you write, the faster your going to get at writing them.

  • Don't create a brainstorm or a rough draft. This will slow down your article submission time and your article won't get that much better. If we were to consult to the school's grading system, you should be trying to create a C grade article, not an A grade. Just write and don't think. This is the best way to write an article in less then ten minutes.

This article only took my 9 minutes to make. All I did was follow these basic strategies. So just follow them, and your article writing speed will increase!
