subject: Getting Your Article Ready To Submit To Article Directories [print this page] Many Internet made marketers make the mistake of rushing through writing their article. This can be a mistake because you are not writing the best article you possibly can write.
There are a few things you can do to get your article ready to submit to article directories and make it the best article it can be. Here are three of them!
1. Stay focused on the primary theme of your article. Your article should be written to provide useful information to the reader.
You do not have a lot of time to accomplish your goal because most articles submitted to article directories are around 400 words. Articles that jump around without focusing on a theme may not be approved by an article directory anyway.
If your articles provide useful information, that is focused, the reader will want to read it all the way to the bottom of it. This of course is where they will find the resource box waiting for them to click on your website URL.
2. Target a keyword phrase in the title, and in the intro and closing paragraph. Then use variations of it as it sounds natural in the body of the article.
Spend a little time proofreading your article and making changes to it so you are not over using your primary keyword phrase. Most article directories today do not want a keyword density of more than 3%. Your article will probably not be accepted by the article directory if you find yourself over using your keyword phrase.
The other reason you want to target a keyword phrases is for search engine optimization benefits. Focusing on a specific phrase can help you get that article ranked by a search engine for it. When you write around one specific keyword phrase you are helping the search engine know exactly what that article is about.
3. Proofread your article a second time for common mistakes such as misspelled words and improper grammar. One way to effectively do this is to read your article out loud to yourself.
Start at the bottom of the page and read up to the top. You will be amazed at how mistakes you find that you didn't know were there when you proofread the first time.
Once you have done all of these steps your article is ready to submit to the article directories. Your goal should is to submit it to a few of the the very best Internet directories.
This will do you more good than mass submitting it to many directories that people or search engines do not visit on a regular basis.
