Article writing, what's it all about?

[hashbury]

This is one of the main article directories http://ezinearticles.com/

While article directories do provide some traffic you should use them for syndication. Any articles you write should be posted to your site first. You should let google index the article on your site and then submit them to the directories.

Some article directories will let you post links in the article body but most want the links in the arthur bio that comes at the bottom of the article.

Generally an article should consist of 500 words or more. It should be well written and not promotional. It should be informational for best results.

When picking a topic for an article I like to use a keyword I want my site to rank for. I will put this keyword in the title, first sentance and last sentance. I will also try to put it throughout the article without making it sound to keyword spammy. I like a keyword density of around 2 to 3 percent.

There is a lot more too it but this is a good start. I will see if I can find my list of article directories and post them here.
