Eight things to Avoid when Writing 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.

If you want to have your articles distributed all over the internet, avoid the following mistakes:

Number One: Like your english teacher used to say. Spell everything correctly and use good grammar. Use spell check.

Number Two: The article is to share information on a topic, not to promote or build a bunch of hype around yourself. If you want it to be read save all the hype building for the bio box at the end.

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: Stick to a single, specific topic. Don't write about more than one subject in the same article. You would be amazed at how many people do this.

Number Five: Use your headline to attract readers, not just to subject 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: Keep it simple when it comes to your bio box. Put a few links in there and keep it to one topic.

Number Eight: Make each submission different. Get the most value out of your article, make each submission different so that more and more webmasters will publish it.
