Article Marketing - Article Summaries

Without doubt the most important part of any article submission is the summary. The summary is the catch lead for the main story content. It's also the very first thing a reader reads. To write an interesting summary is to capture your reader within the first few seconds, stimulating them to read the rest of your article.

Too many times we find article summaries are just copy & paste of the first 2 paragraphs of the main content. This is NOT the way to go.

Your article summary is the grabber for people to continue reading, so if you just repeat the main body content in the summary, your virtually limiting the exposure of your article. Here's why.

A summary should be written as if it's a short ad for the rest of your article content. By this we don't mean, BIG PRINT WITH EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS. More accurately your summary would may ask questions, of course related to the main content topic, and also supply some type of answer.

Another technique for catchy summaries is to try the anti-ad type short scope. Trying different types of summaries for the one article is recommended. Especially if your article is being submitted to many many different article directories. The nest way to grab attention is to say something straight, concise and relevant to the main content.

Consider these stats. A person searching for topics they want spends .5 to 2 seconds scanning the summary. If your summary doesn't catch them within that time frame, your out of the game.

So to summarize this summary technique, let me put it this way.

Do you want to get readers reading your article? Of course not. So read on and find your edge.

See what I mean?

Enjoy.

By: Rob Metras

There are myriad ways to promote your website (and yourself) on the Internet. You can easily do this with article marketing. You run a website; obviously, you have knowledge that you can share with others. There's no better way to do this than with article marketing!

Many people search online articles for information on so many subjects, running the gamut from how to cure a colicky baby to how to plan for retirement. We all have expertise in certain areas; you can share your experience or passions with others through the Internet.

Add URL Released

Welcome to our latest newest website directory ... Tadaar

Add URL Directory

Yes we have a new directory, so that you can add your website into our searchable www presence. We have a PR2 and maintain a delicious high Google crawl. This means, if you add your website to our latest directory, your sure to get greater exposure through out the internet.

Some features are ..

Google Maps for every listing .. well as long as you take the time to fill in the location, City etc, so that Google Maps can associate itself with your business site or personal website.

Free Reciprocal Listing
Yes that's right, free. Just reciprocate a link to us and we'll add your website details all for free, sweet.

Page Rank Display
Yep, your websites PR will automatically show up on your listing, which if you have one, will give visitors a better "eye" for your sites listing, and of course make them click harder, or easier, which ever the case may be.

Meta Tag Customisation
Yes, you can write your own meta tags. Fill out your "Description and Keywords" meta tags to ensure a great find ability, not to mention, Googles site crawl recognising your meta data as well. But I said I wouldn't mention it. Ah well, we're not perfect.

Ok so get along to Add URL and list your website and increase the www's awarness of your internet presence.

Article Submission - Article Cred

So you've written a great article, lots of excellent content and relevant points. Juicy content flowing out of your mind to your fingers and into the article. Your probably going to get read and noticed by everyone All great stuff.

And then what happens? Yes that's right .. you decide to name yourself an email address. Probably think this will gain instant recognition and email flooding through asking for more.

Nope, this is not going to happen. One bug bear of us Article Directory admin people is the constant assumption that naming yourself an email address (as in Author's name = someone@something.com) is going to get you noticed. Well it will, but for all the wrong reasons.

The delete button is a favourite with these types of authors. Your article will not be published. In fact most likely, your email address handle will be tagged as "banned" instead of the brilliant exposure your seeking.

Credibility is everything when writing articles. I mean lets face it. If your reading an article written by John Smith you'll take notice of anything that's relevant to yourself within the article, because the writer "talks" to you and his or her name sounds real.

By having an email address as an author you are saying, quite obviously, Hi, I have no name, I'm just an email address.

Come on, I mean, if you can't sign your article as a persevered real person, then how do you expect to attract real people wanting your words.

If you write articles wanting to be read and accepted by publishers then be good enough to sign your work with real names, not questionable marketing tactics that get you deleted or worse, banned.

New Feature Added: Beta Stage Website Directory

We are currently testing a new website directory for our visitors to add their URL to. We will be running online tests for the next week or so and when the new directory is ready, we will release it and have a launch party, to which you're all invited, of course.

Time and dates are to be announced at a future post, so stay tuned.

Articles FYI Website Errors Of Late

First of all let me apologise to all those visitors that came to Articles FYI and found a big Error this and error that. We do humbly say sorry for any inconvenience our non functioning website may of caused.

We did have all the errors a website does not want. A 404 site not found, a 403 forbidden access. It seemed that whatever we did to restate our site the more we'd place it into oblivion.

Luckily the fantastic crew at ArticleMS managed to help us through our dilemma.

If you want to run your own articles directory, we highly recommend ArticleMS. Their support base is amazing and these people are always ready to help out, their forums are great with many ideas and creations being put forward and enhanced upon daily.

The site is now running very well and even better than before. The entire problem was with our hosting company who decided that we were having too much fun and they weren't, so they blocked the site. Well that's not the reason at all, but from my point of view and limited knowledge of programming, I'm sticking with it.

So with my hat in hand, I once again apologise for any troubles caused and say, hey, we're back!
