    Page Rank
    A quick definition of Page Rank – a numerical value to measure the relative importance of the web page within the Internet. Wikipedia has a more detailed explanation at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_rank. Put http:// in front for the full URL. Article sites do not allow an active link in the first paragraph. Page Rank was developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin as part of a research for a new search engine. Guess what the name of that search engine is? Yep, Google.The rank of pages in a website is a major factor that Google uses to rank a website. I commented in early December 2006 that the traffic to the RJO site had suddenly increased. Thi
    Writing articles and submitting them to article directories is a great way to generate publicity and expert reputation but can be a time consuming and frustrating process unless you approach it systematically. Having written hundreds features for printed media for 20 years, I soon found I needed a very different approach for online articles and developed this template to help me produce articles that work.

    The first thing I learned is that you are writing for four audiences with different sets of needs.

    1. The Publisher – Web sites, ezines, blogs and printed media all require different lengths and styles of content so you need to be flexible with lots of choice from short punchy to in depth analysis to personal commentary. Articles need to be topical, from an expert and contain no overt promotion and self serving links. The more articles you write the more of an "expert" you become.

    2. The Reader - People search the internet for content so the article needs to provide topical, fresh ideas with plenty of easy to digest, practical advice.

    3. The Search Engines – You need to do extensive keyword research for your web site then select a specific primary keyword or phrase for each article and use it liberally for maximum search engine ranking

    4. The Directory – They each have specific requirements regarding format, structure and topic. Each article will be checked to see that it does not beach their content guidelines and formatting rules.

    Before you start the article – type out the headings below to form the template – then use the notes to guide you.

    Article Title

    Maximum 100 characters (including spaces) - that’s about 12 words.

    Make it grabby to catch the attention of readers and publishers but start with your primary search engine keyword phrase. In printed media titles starting “How to…” or “10 top tips for…" are very popular – they are not good for search engines. This will go in the title of a web page.

    A Short Term Buy: Tiffany & Co.
    As the holiday shopping season closely approaches with the economy near or actually beneath its natural rate of unemployment, luxury companies such as the jeweler Tiffany & Co (TIF) start to seem conspicuously enticing. With a strong forecast in terms of holiday sales and a pretty solid economic foundation, you may be surprised to see the best present Santa can give next month: money.As I mentioned, the unemployment rate, currently at 4.4%, remains at one of the lowest numbers of all time. What that means for shareholders of Tiffany can be examined by the consumers who are obtaining these jobs. As the labor force increases, more consumers are goin

    Direct Marketing for a New Insurance Agency
    Anyone who has been in the insurance industry for a long period of time will tell you that most of their business comes from word-of-mouth advertising. This is generally true and you can tell by the minimal amount of advertising that they do in the marketplace.Occasionally you will see small ads in high school booster club schedules or other community-based marketing type places as the insurance agency ages. This is all well and good and generally happens because someone from a nonprofit group will come into the agency, which is also a client and look for someone to donate money to the group in trade for advertising.But if you are a new i

    Advantages of a For Sale By Owner Website Listing
    When a homeowner sells real estate in Hawaii without the help of a realtor the process is known as for sale by owner. Many homeowners choose to go this route for selling their homes because they want to avoid the fees charged by real estate brokers. Along with the cost avoidance, homeowners take on the responsibility of marketing the home as well as other tasks associated with selling the home.There are many ways to advertise a home for sale by owner. Some of the most popular include classified ads in the newspaper, signs in the neighborhood, word of mouth and website listings. Of all the methods to use for advertising a home for sale by owne

    Description – Meta Tag

    Maximum 200 characters but preferably 150 – two lines of text.

    Shorter punchier version of the abstract which must contain your primary keywords – you will need this if you publish on your own web site.

    Keywords – Meta Tag

    Maximum 100 characters - about 12 words comma separated

    Start with your primary keyword of phrase then add other relevant keywords used in the article.

    Article Text

    Length really depends on your market and style. Much advice suggests about 250 to 750 words, but some publishers want in-depth analysis and I have had a 1700 word article reproduced at least once. Research your market and be flexible, with a mix of lengths and perhaps long and short versions of the same article.

    Write the basic article with NO FORMATTING WHATSOEVER – if you are using word, disable all the auto-formatting like smart quotes, automatic hypertext links and paragraph spacing because they will all cause you problems. You can always reset them later.

    Get your Primary Keyword Phrase into the first sentence if you can and provide a liberal sprinkling of keywords throughout. Don't overdo it. The article still has to be a good read and remember though you are writing for four audiences, Content is King.

    Absolutely no advertorial copy - Do not promote your products and services you will kill the article.

    Absolutely no self serving links – No links to your web site or affiliate sites in the body of the article, if you do you will not be published. If you have links to resources show them as text - many sites do not allow live html links in the article.

    Copyright

    Copyright, date, name, country

    Few directories ask for this but it makes sense to put it at the bottom of the article or in the field requested.

    Resource Box

    Maximum 500 characters, "including spaces and html code." This is the limit for many sites so best to stick to it for all.

    This is your opportunity to promote yourself but limit to 1 or 2 self servin
