3 key components To Writing a Killer Article

Writing articles is a great way to drive traffic to your website and also build credibility. A well written article will go a long way to increase your credibility online. Plus, if you structure your resource box correctly you can literally get hundreds if not thousands of visitors to your website over time.

Articles have been proven to stand up to the changes in Internet marketing. Unfortunately, things changed daily. But, one thing that has stood strong is article marketing. In this article I want to go over three key components of articles that will allow you to drive tons of traffic by writing killer articles.

1. Article Title

The article title is probably one of the most important aspects of your article. Not only does this pull the reader in, but it is also essential for great search engine placement. You want to be able to integrate a catchy title that pulls readers in that involves keywords.

So, the title actually involves two aspects. The first is getting the reader to read the article. The next is actually getting the article to rank in the search engines. Unfortunately, this is not the only component when it comes to search engine optimization, but it is a very important one.

2. Article Body

Within your article body you want to accomplish two things. The first is you want to educate the reader. If you write an article that does not educate, it will not serve the purpose you want it to serve. Not only will it not drive traffic to your site, but it could actually ruin your credibility. So, in your article you want to make sure to be very informative. Do not give everything away, but make the reader feel like they have learned something.

Next, your article body should be keyword optimized. This will help get you ranked in the search engines. You do not want to go crazy with your keywords, but you do want make sure your article body contains long tail keywords.

3. Resource Box

When it comes to driving traffic to your site the resource box is the most important part of your article. Most article directories do not allow you to place links within the article itself, so this is where you need to promote your site.

You want your resource box to to serve one purpose... that purpose is to drive traffic to your website. Do not use this area as a place to stroke your ego. Use this place as an advertising platform. Advertise your site and get people to go to your site.
