Article Marketing Tips
Are you writing great articles and submitting them to sites lik Ezine Articles only to see that they are not getting published ? When that happens you might think, well…I need to write more articles to get noticed and published. Writing more Articles in the hopes of getting some published is not the best way to go about it. .
You might be doing lots of research and writing 300 plus word articles but no matter what you do the articles that you submit are still not getting published. I know that it can be frustrating . Here are some reasons perhaps why your articles are not being published.
You have To make Your articles Internet friendly
When you write articles for publication on the Internet you must follow some rules that are not the same rules for other types of publication like books or magazines.
Example of a bad article.
I see this mistake done over and over again by writers on the Internet. They write 300 to 400 words of content that is interesting and entertaining but they make the big mistake off writing in large blocks of text giving their readers a big headache just for looking at all those words. They don’t break up their paragraphs enough. As a result their readers find it hard to concentrate on the chain of thought that the writer is conveying. By the time their readers get to perhaps a third of the way down the paragraph they stop reading because it’s to hard to grasp what the writer is trying to say. Writing in large blocks of text is what a lot article writers do wrong and they don’t have a clue as to why their articles don’t get published. Website owners know what people will read and they are not going to publish content that gives people headaches no matter how good the content is.
Now take a look of how my last paragraph should have been
written

(See the big difference ?)
It’s not only the great content alone that will get your articles published, It’s how you deliver that great content that makes a good article for Internet publication.
- Your paragraphs should be broken up into less sentences.
- You should use bullet points whenever possible
- Also use bold headings for your paragraphs every now and then.
This makes it easy for your readers to skim your article to find what they are interested in. And also helps to follow your thought process in your article. Writing articles for off line publications like magazines is not the same as writing for on-line publications. The rules are different
for both.
Write you article titles like headings for advertising
Instead of writing a title like this:
This Article Will Explain How To Get Your Articles Published On Line
Write your title like this instead:
Discover How To Successfully Publish Articles
Get rid of the fluff and show whats in it for them if they
continue to read your article.
Using the first example this would also be an improvement for the article title:
How To Get Your Articles Published
What you are trying to do is to use the same principle that news paper uses by writing great heading that make readers interested enough to read the rest of the article.
Also you can use titles like:
- How to write great articles
- 3 tips to writing great articles.
These are a few tips that you can use to improve your chances for getting your articles published.
If you write good articles that are published then you will have a great way for getting free traffic to your websites or links. Also article marketing is a great way to get back links for your sites.
