That means that your article’s title must be attention-getting otherwise the reader will skip your article and all your article marketing efforts will be in vain.

3. Check you spelling and grammar.

And you can’t blame them because you probably do the same thing. Most of the writing software in the market contain spelling correction features. Use them but do not rely exclusively on them. When you finish your article and run the spell checker, leave it for a couple of hours and reread it again. You will notice the difference. Another thing you can do is to give your article to another person to check your article, especially if he or she is an avid reader.

Remember, your articles must not be an advertisement or they will be erased from the article editors immediately. Article directory editors accept hundreds of articles daily and they pick out the blatant advertisement “articles” because they want to offer valuable content to their subscribers. What you can do is to provide valuable information in your article and focus on the recourse box. There you can describe yourself and your website but you must do it in a masterly manner in order to maximize the clicks of your website’s link in your article’s recourse box.

5. Articles should be straight and up to the point.

Not every reader has the same intellectual capacity. Some of them will not be able to comprehend your technical jargon and idioms you use. Using plain English and being concise is the key to have your article being read easily. In that way you will succeed your advertising in disguise aim and you will have more visits to your website.
