Don't Blow it - 8 ways people Mess Up articles

By Brent Sweet

If you can write articles correctly you can build a lot of traffic to your website. It is one of the most effective ways to get targeted visitors to your site, but there are some pitfalls and if you dont avoid them your articles are worthless.

The way to have your articles distributed everywhere is to NOT do the following:

Number One: Spell everything correctly and make sure your grammar is good. Use a simple spell check tool to make sure you are passing.

Number Two: Don't promote so much. If you have all this hype in your articles it is a turn off. Use a press release for hype. Articles are designed to share information. Save the hype for your resource box.

Number Three: Inform the reader. If you don't know what you are talking about choose a different topic. People don't read to find out what you don't know.

Number Four: Pick a topic. So many people write articles with several topics. Write one article per subject. Don't write a business opportunity article that also contains information about losing weight.

Number Five: Make use of the title to actually bring people in who are willing to read, not just to be a topic of your article.

Number Six: Buying or plagiarizing articles. You need to be the author of your article. By reproducing the content already on the internet you are not helping yourself.

Number Seven: Use your resource box to promote yourself, sure, but don't over do it. Do not promote four or five different sites. Promote the site related to your topic.

Number Eight: Don't submit the exact same article all over the internet. Give each submission a different flavor. You can pay people to do this, or some services actually do this for you.
