Writing Articles That Get Read!

By Stephanie Quinn

It's no secret that article marketing works. Informative articles will get visitors to your website, but if you don't provide useful, readable information when writing articles, your visitors will go elsewhere.

Too many webmasters focus primarily on keywords and getting traffic instead of writing articles with value. How many times have you clicked onto a website expecting the information you desire only to be disappointed into hitting the "back" button?

Keywords are important when writing articles, but to keep visitors on your website you must provide valuable information, making sure your articles are "readable." Writing articles with awkward, hard-to-read sentences and too many spelling and grammatical errors will turn your potential customers off.

Ideally, you want visitors to read your entire article and then click where you direct them. Consider the following tips when writing articles to make that happen.

1. Include a short introduction when writing articles, giving the reader a quick overview of the content.

2. When writing articles, make at least three to four informative points in the body of the article.

3. Wrap up your articles with a short conclusion, guiding the reader to other sources when appropriate.

4. Try writing articles with short sentences that keep your readers involved.

5. Keep your articles simple. When writing articles, stay away from hard-to-understand words. Remember, the internet is a worldwide resource and your language is not necessarily the language of your reader.

6. Make sure your articles teach, explain, or inform. In addition, writing articles that get directly to the point will help keep your text understandable.

7. Writing articles that include links will guide your readers where you want them to go. This may include links to additional information or links to purchase your product.

8. Keep your articles between 200 to 600 words. If you are writing articles over that word count, consider splitting them into two or three articles when possible.

Writing articles using these simple tips will ensure your website is providing informative articles that people enjoy reading.
