I will
turn FIFTY FIVE on April 20, eek!
My gift
is I am being taken to lunch at my favorite
place
in the world to eat, Pasta House, which also
happens
to be half way between my house and my oldest
daughter's
- so after my boyfriend and I eat we can
get
back on the road and go on up to see Crystal,
3 year
old "big sister" Madison and 2 week old Aiden.
Now
that is what I call a birthday present! :-)

4
Things ALL Articles Must Have
The
importance of articles in today’s websites and internet
based
companies is immeasurable. They dictate a lot in the
success
and the drive of traffic to your web site. This has
become
a key element in making a site work and earns a profit.
A
website operator and owner must have the good sense to
include
articles in his or her site that will work for
him or
her to derive the many benefits that articles can
give to
the site.
Articles
have been known to be the force in driving traffic
to a
web site. They are a factor in giving a site high rankings
in
search result pages. The higher a site ranks, the bigger
slice
of the traffic flow pie he or she gets. With a huge
number
in traffic flow, there are more profit possibilities
and
potential for other income generating schemes as well.
But, it
is not just about stuffing your site with articles;
they
have certain requirements as well. These requirements
must be
met to obtain the maximum benefits an article will
provide
for your site. A well written article will catch
the
eyes and interest of your customers and keep them
coming
back for more. They would also be able to recommend
your
site to others.
Here
are some tips to assist you in making your articles.
Below
you will read about four things all articles must
have to
make them successful and helpful in making your
site a
profit earning and traffic overflowing site.
• Keywords and Keyword Phrases
An
article must always be centered on the keywords
and
keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to
a site,
there are those who are just merely browsing
but
actually looking for a specific something. When
this
happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine
and
types in the keywords he or she is looking for
(e.g.
eBay stores, online newsletters, Virtual Assistants,
etc. It
could be anything the searcher wants.
The
important thing is that you have an article that has
the
keywords that are related to your site. For example,
if you
maintain an auto parts site, you must be able to
have
articles about cars and their parts. There are many
tools
that provide service in helping a webmaster out in
determining
what keywords and keyword phrases are most
often
sought out. You can use this tool to determine
what
keywords to use and write about.
• Keyword Density
Now
that you have your keywords and keyword phrases, you must
use
them fully. An article must have good keyword density for
a
search engine to “feel” its presence. Articles should at
least
have ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in their
content
for search engines to rank a site high in their search
results.
Getting high rankings is what articles can do best
for a
site.
Keyword
density is the number of times a keyword or keyword
phrase
is used in an article. The number varies depending
on the
number of words used in an article. An effective
article
must have a keyword density that is not too high
or too
low. With a very high density, the essence of the
article
is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the
search
engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number
may be
ignored by the search engines.
• Good Article Content
You
cannot just riddle an article with keywords.
The
article must also be regarded as good reading
material.
Articles must be able to entertain people
as well
as provide good information and help for their
needs.
Articles should be written well with correct
spelling
and good grammar. If you want people to trust
you,
make your work good and well thought out.
People
respond well to figures, facts and statistics.
Try to
get great information and as many facts as you can.
A well
written article will boost your reputation as an
expert
in your chosen field or topic. People will be able
to
trust you and your products.
• Linking Articles
Another
important thing to remember: If you are going to
submit
articles to ezines and/or contribute your articles
to
newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget to
include
a link to your site. Use a resource box with
a brief
description of your site and place ir right
after
your articles. If people like your articles,
they
will most likely click on the link directing
them to
your site.
