The other 8 articles got poor results. The average of all 10 articles put it so far over a thousand customers per article and counting.

Personally, I can say that I have written many articles of different topics sine grade school, because we are trained to do a formal writing before. But based on my own personal experience, though I can write an essay as fast as I could but it doesn't mean I can produce a good one. After reading this article, I can say that my writing ability could at least improve little by little until I can get close to writing a perfect article for a certain topic. I give a lot of credit for this post. This is the most helpful article writing tips I have ever read.

You really have to be careful with article marketing because if you do not provide useful info, then it looks like you're just submitting the article to get the backlink and not to bring value to the readers. 700-800 words is a good range to shoot for, and of course your article should always contain excellent content for your readers :-) They will not stop reading your article as long as you are providing good info.

The word count range is anywhere from 400 words to 1500 words, but as I said in this article, the sweet spot is 700-800 words to be most attractive to the different types of publishers. That would be a good place to start if you're going to use a ghostwriter--I would just be sure that they are producing 100% unique articles that are free of grammatical errors and are interesting to read. **** Sandip--you're welcome :-) **** Gary--love that advice :-) Classic! *** Edward--thank you, yes that is a great suggestion to put the article away for a day or so to look at it with fresh eyes. *** Judy--Here are the answers to your questions: 1. Do blogs prefer the short articles or tips? It depends on the blog owner and the type of blog. Generally speaking, folks like list articles and HowTo articles, but that isn't to say that essay type articles don't do well also. Article marketing uses educational articles, so HowTo and list or step articles are a perfect way to teach someone how to do something. 2. How do you keep track of where you sent different artcles? Well, I use SubmitYOURArticle.com, and they distribute my articles for me. I wait a week and then do a Google search for my article titles to see who has picked up my article for publication. If you were submitting manually, you could decide on a few directories you wanted to submit to and do a check off list. 3. Why do some directories prefer you compose in something other than WORD? Ahh, great question! Article directories like articles to be submitted in text format only, because otherwise it can mess up your article's formatting. They prefer that you compose your articles in a text editor, such as Notepad. It may seem like Word is text only, but it's not. If you copy and paste from Word, you may notice some formatting problems that you could avoid if you copied and pasted from a text editor. 4. Is it better to send people to your main site or your blog? Why not do both? :-) A blog is great because it can be the mouth of a funnel leading into your main website, and it's often easier to increase the ranking for a blog than it is for a static website. It also helps to write articles that have resource boxes linking back to your main site because that is the ultimate site you want to drive traffic to. I would do both--We use article marketing for everything that markets SubmitYOURArticle.com--the main site, this blog, the Squidoo lens, etc. *** Godfrey--That's great, I'm glad this helped :-) And BTW--folks who recommend that you keep articles btw 350-500 words are trying to crank out articles only for the backlinks rather than to offer valuable content to publishers and readers. If you look at a 350 word article it will not look like an article--that is a medium sized paragraph :-) There is not enough room in 350 words to convey the info of an educational article, and oftentimes publishers will reject articles of that length because they look promotional (done only to get the backlink). You are right on track with your interest in going for quality articles over quantity! Thanks for all the comments, folks :-)

Let me go back and give some replies to questions:

HTBAW–

“A great article can drive targeted traffic to your website for years to come, and that same article will generate many back-links once it has been picked up and posted on other peoples sites.”

Exactly! Yes, your resource box is a pivotal piece of info and has a major impact on your results.

Susanne F–LOL :-)

Phillip–The 200 word difference between a 500 word article and a 700 word article has a big impact. You really have to be careful with article marketing because if you do not provide useful info, then it looks like you’re just submitting the article to get the backlink and not to bring value to the readers. 700-800 words is a good range to shoot for, and of course your article should always contain excellent content for your readers :-) They will not stop reading your article as long as you are providing good info.

The upper limit of 800 words is to make your article attractive to ezine editors–there is limited space in an ezine, and folks will commonly look for excellent articles within this range.

Thanks for your insights on article marketing. This is my favorite marketing strategy which I would like to become good at, so I have to pay close attention! I tend to just write my articles based on the message I want to portray, without any concern about it's length. They end up somewhere between 400-1000 words. I am new to article marketing and many of the people who provide tips for this is telling you to keep your articles between 350-500 words. This is the first time I'm hearing about this sweet spot of 700-800 words and I will start experimenting to see where it leads. On "tips and how to's", I have heard about that before, but I have not been using it enough. I tend to agree with Edward, if your article is good people will read it no matter how long it is. A good example is the article above. Good stuff guys, I really appreciate it! Godfrey Good stuff Steve!
