SEO article writing is the best free way to make a name for your business online. Though people these days think this is just writing a few articles a week and publishing them and then they think they will get tons of traffic and make tons of sales. This is far from reality. If this was true everyone that did business online would do it and all of the companies online would be rich! I've been article marketing for years and own a few successful websites myself. I also am a proud owner of a successful SEO article writing company.

The first thing you must remember when writing SEO articles is to write as if you are talking to your friend and are wanting to tell them something that you have passion in. Speak directly to the person reading your content. The biggest mistake newbies make is to create a website and then buy articles written by others in large packages that are sold to hundreds of others and publish them on their website with hundreds of others as well. This is a no no, and does nothing for your website. The same for republishing articles others written. You get the best results when you hire SEO article writing companies to personally write for your website only and you get full rights to the articles.

SEO article writing requires skills that the average newbie marketer does not have or does not have the time to engage in. There is so much more to it than writing a few articles and sitting back expecting your business to explode in profits. Search engine optimization ( SEO ) content on your website and in your articles has to be written well and updated regularly. It's not a set and forget practice. The keywords you are targeting must be placed well in the article and throughout your website content to serve its purpose. SEO article writing consists of 50% informative content and 50% of strategic formatting the content.

Another big mistake made in SEO article writing is people write about themselves or their company. This defeats the purpose and does more harm than good for your business. This will do one thing only, disqualify you from article directories. Search engines and article readers want non-bias informative articles. No one wants to hear how your company is the greatest and they should be buying from you. Articles are intended to educate the reader and make them want to find out more from you by clicking your link in the resource box. Save the bragging for the resource box!

SEO article writing is a full time commitment. You will not see any changes in rankings and traffic if you only write or have written a few articles. This form of marketing requires you to write and publish articles that contains good content at least every few days. Also it is of great benefit to submit all of your articles to multiple article directories. The same article should be submitted to the top article directories.
