Basically, what the search engines want to list at the top of any search result are websites that have what the searcher is looking for and that others have said is important. That means your webpage has to have the relevant keywords in it and it also needs to have significant links from other sites pointing to your site.
Article Writing Tips
It is always best to write about what you know. This may not always be what you want your site to be about, but the more know about your topic, the better your writing will be. If you are writing about a niche that you don't know much about, try to make it something that interests you, so you will want to do the extra research to learn more. This will eventually lead you to write more articles.
One area that almost everyone can tap into is a hobby. There are lots of people looking for helpful information to help them enjoy their hobby. Write about your experience in photography, scrap booking, music, gardening or fishing. People want to read about what you know.
Try to keep your articles around 400 words. Attention spans don't last long, so make your point without getting too wordy. If you find you need to say more, try to split it up into another article. Think about what keywords you want to concentrate on for each article.
Focus on keywords - This aspect cannot be overstated. You need to optimize your article for keywords. Let your keywords turn into links back to your site. Include keywords in the headline, at the beginning of the article and a number of times in the main body of the text. This is essential for article writing success. But don't just load your article with keywords or it will not read naturally and search engines will penalize you.
Once you have it written, you need to get it submitted to the article directories. This is where you will get the links back to your site. And if you can submit or make available unique variations of your article, then other webmasters are more likely to want to use it on their website or newsletter.
If you take your time and write something readable and useful, you will find that many site and especially article directories will want to use your article. Every website owner need to supply their readers with useful information, and if you are the author that gives it to them, you will get the backlinks to your site when they publish your article on their sites.
You may not see results overnight. You need to give the search engines time to spider the sites where your article is located and then update their index. Even 100 inbound links may not make a big difference in your rankings, depending on how competitive your topic is. But your efforts will reward you in long term links and if you continue to submit articles you will find that the work involved more than outweighs the benefits, and is a much better long term marketing strategy than many others.
