How To Write A Great Article
By:

Are
you intimidated by the thought of writing articles? When you
think about writing an article, do you have flashbacks to high
school writing classes, and feel paralyzed by the thought of
putting words onto paper? Don't fret. There are some easy
general guidelines that apply to writing articles for your web
site or to distribute in article directories, to other web
masters, or to post to your blogs. Follow these guidelines and
you'll be writing great articles before you know it!
Simply make your articles brief, informative, and user-friendly.
Articles do not need to contain technical information, but
rather be written to give the reader useful information in an
easy to understand manner. You can write articles quickly and
effectively using these guidelines:
Make your articles brief and direct. The most sought after web
content gives factual information on specific topics. Usually a
one-page article is just about the right length. If your
articles are too long, the user may lose interest and move on to
another web site. If your article is too short, you will not be
able to include enough information to tell the reader what he or
she needs to know. A simple, one page article containing three
to five paragraphs is perfect for your web site or to submit to
an article directory, include in your newsletter, or post to
blogs.

When writing your articles, include the most relevant
information on your topic with links to further information included in your
resource box or on your web site. Cover the general information you wish to pass
on to the reader and make it easy for readers to locate additional information
on the topic. A web site containing many pages with brief, precise content is
much better than a web site containing 3 pages with extremely long, complex
articles. Keeping the interest of the reader is your top priority. The average
web site visitor does not want to spend a lot of time finding the information
they desire, but rather locate general information quickly with the option to
explore more in-depth coverage easily.
Creating user-friendly content is imperative to keeping the interest of the
reader and enticing them to explore the subject further. Begin your article with
a description of what information your article will contain, continue with the
information written in a short, direct style, and end with a summary of what the
reader has learned from your article. If you have a well-designed web site, you
will be able to lead the reader to further information through links placed to
the side or at the end of your article. If your article is for advertising
purposes such as in a newsletter or to submit to an article directory, a short
resource box at the end of your article containing your name, a short bio, and a
link to your web site will be the best approach. Do not distribute links
throughout your article, as it can be confusing and distracting to the reader.
Remember to include all relevant and necessary information, but do not overwhelm
the reader with intricate details. Focus on your specific subject and keep your
articles brief. Choose your keywords carefully so that readers and search
engines will easily identify the article as containing pertinent information. A
one-page article containing precise information and links allowing the reader to
easily find additional information is the key to writing a great article. |
