Writing an article is an art itself. So how can you make a good, quality article that’s not only increase your readership but also helps you in gaining effective backlinks.
To make a quality and effective piece of article you should consider the following factors or tips on article writing.
1. Targeted Keywords

3. Keyword Density
4. Catchy Title
5. Resource Box
6. Distribution
1. Targeted Keywords
Before start writing you should know about what keywords you will be targeting in your article. This is the most important step as if you don’t chose the right keyword in the beginning, then it will undermine everything else you do afterward. Why so much emphasize on keyword?
Most of your targeted readers will find your article by performing a search in one of the search engines. They will search for the keyword or words that make the most sense to them when they are looking for information. And remember that most of the searchers are looking for the information rather than direct products. So your article should give useful info about the use or effectiveness of your products instead of introduction of your product.
2. Useful/Informative Content
An average searcher is estimated to give 8 to 10 seconds each page he visited. This means that he only scans an article and if something seems interesting to him, then he may decide to actually read the whole content. So instead of appraising yourself and your product, start with uses, benefits or needs of the products. Always promote your products at the end of the article or max in the mid of the article. You have to related the information with your product. You can write about the problem that your product or service is claiming to solve and in the end present them with the solution. But always ensure them int he begining that the problem is gonna be solve now. Always include Call to action after the solution.
3. Keyword Density
Though we agree that keywords are vital for any article’s success but that doesn’t mean that you start putting every keyword in the article r start every line of your article with a keyword. Write naturally than replace the related words with your keywords. Don’t stuff the keywords or it takes only a single click to close that annoying article.
4. Catchy Title
Title of your article plays a major role in a user decision to read it or not as its the title where it all starts.
Instead of putting 10 list or 10 ways, try to answer just one simple question from a readers perspective, What’s in it for me?
If your title answers the question of a reader s/he may read it till end but if not than s/he even don’t care to click on it. Make it enough catchy to get teh people click on it.
5. Resource Box
Resource box consist of three or four lines that goes right at the end of your article and provides some information about either you or your business. If you are doing guest writing its the best palce to include your call to action. You can promise solution to some problem or brand yourself too. Always include your website address in the resource box. DON’T appraise yourself and your greatness here.
6. Distribution
Now, you have completed your article consider all above points, Its time to publish it. Your first stop should be article directories or free article directories. A lot of people/bloggers/webmasters use them to get the articles on daily basis as per there needs. You can search for guest writing blogs in your niche and send them the article.
