Simple Steps On How To Turn Your Articles Into Cash And Drive Traffic To Your Website

I suppose you might be wondering how on earth you can turn articles into cash, as was I when I began to research advertising with my articles. They are quite simply the best free form of advertising you can hope to find, but to turn them into money making nuggets of information, there are a few simple things you need to do.

Many of you have probably done some research into using articles as one of the free and most effective forms of advertising available on the internet. The problem that most people are having is that their articles are being either rejected or are returned for editing by article directories, but why does this happen?

Article directories receive hundreds/thousands of articles every week. They need to make money too, so they tend to choose articles that offer quality content/information.

If you've submitted an article to a directory then you'll probably have had a fair few sent back for editing, no matter how much you proof the article yourself before submitting it. It is hard to proof your own work for a very simple reason, you know the message you are trying to convey.

HOT TIP:

Give your article to a few of your friends to read through first, even if they know nothing about the subject.

Ask them, when they've read it, to tell you if they fully understood the point(s) you were trying to make within the article. If they don't then the administrators of an article directory will most likely have the same view. If they don't understand, ask them what you need to change to make the publication understandable.

Don't take their advice as criticism; these people are the key to making sure your articles are virally distributed and thus creating profit/traffic for your website/company.

Webmasters use these articles as web content and as newsletters, if the information is plain and clear to everyone that reads it, your articles will be used by most people searching for them.

It is important that when submitting an article that you DO NOT submit duplicates. By this I mean that you should not copy anyone else's text directly, not even a single sentence.

Why?

If your articles are written by you then they are unique. Article directories, search engines and webmasters love this. Sorry to sound a bit cliché but this is probably the one piece of advice that will save you a lot of time and editing effort. If you duplicate other articles then there's a good chance they'll be rejected by the directories (the people you want to impress).

Google also know when content has been duplicated (when the page content is spidered by their Googlebots) and don't like this. They penalise pages with duplicate content by placing it lower in the search engines, and as Google direct around 80% of all online traffic you want to keep them as sweet as possible.

They will reward you by placing you higher if your content is good quality and unique by placing the page higher in the search engines, this means more exposure for your publications and a better chance of the article being virally distributed.

HOT TIP:

Keep your articles short and to the point. Keep out any obvious statements like "To find the best car insurance deals you need to shop around." That's just obvious and will clutter up your quality content.

Readers are looking for a quick fix solution, so that's what you need to give them. The optimum size of your article should be between 400-600 words full of helpful tips and suggestions. This alone will get your articles virally published and thus create more exposure for your company or affiliated links.
