Nothing Is Worse Than Getting An Article Sandboxed
When you use article submission sites there are certain rules of protocol you should use if you are going to get the most out of these sites. If you have submitted content to article submission sites and are not seeing the results of your efforts it could be that you are putting your reputation on the line by making some of these deadly mistakes.
The Resource Box Is For Credibility Not For Sale
Are you trying to push products or services with the resource box? This is a sure way to damage your reputation and get into trouble with the article submission site. Instead you should be using the resource box to tell others about your background and expertise. Not that you should be providing your entire resume but just enough information to allow people to begin to get to know you and trust what you say.
Do Not Confuse Your Reader With Too Many Ideas or Products
If the content you submit to the article submission site discusses gardening then why would you place a link to another website you own that deals with replacing car parts? If you write the article on a specific topic for a specific audience make sure you only provide the link to the website that interests your reader. If you provide links to other sites you own you will quickly earn the reputation of being a flea market salesman and people will not take you seriously when they read your article, if they get that far.
Get To The Point Beavis
As a general rule the content you submit to article submission sites should be no longer than 400-600 words. This is why it is important to offer useful information, get to the point, and create a line that encourages the reader to find out more by visiting your website. People that read online are different from those that read offline. Many of them tend to be scanners when they read so you have to make your point so they can understand what you are about within a few minutes.
Stuff Your Article and You Will Go To Jail With No Visitation Rights
Keyword stuffing is not a technique that gives your credibility nor will it get you published. You are writing articles to attract your reader and give you credibility. Do not appear overzealous in your use of keywords as it can come across as being for SEO only. Readers consciously and unconsciously pick up on patterns and if they see a suspicious pattern of keywords in every sentence you might lose credibility. You will definitely lose credibility with the bots and spiders who simply use mathematical equations to count the number of times your article has a keyword in it. Consider one time per paragraph at the most.
Using Website Content
This is something you really need to be aware of, search engines are run by mathematical equations and they are programmed to find duplicate content and sandbox the sites that have it and promote the sites who don’t have it. So rule number one for SEO is, do not cut and paste your content. The lazy man approach to creating lots of content is the quickest way to pass go without collecting your $200. Posting duplicate content will defeat the purpose of submitting articles to attract visitors, so wouldn’t this be called insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result?
