Many people will tell you that there is a secret method to getting your articles to spider well in the search engines. They have theories of how to get the best rankings, which key words to use, which titles and best times to post your online press releases, articles, poems, stories or public relations. Well I am going to let you in on a little secret. The whole thing and all these so-called tips of article marketing, titling and key wording are completely full of it. In fact if you will look at the articles of those who sell eBooks on how to best get your articles seen you will find their articles do not rate as well as your articles as a novice. So take all their volumes of advice and stuff it. I have written 3050 articles and placed them online and my data sets show that something is a miss and many articles (same subject, similar titles and key words) get no play, while others posted nearly within the same week get more play immediately and over time. Many which have been optimized for best chance of search engine ranking do not get as many article views or rank as high in search engines as articles with no real effort to make them more visible to search engines. Even online article submission sites, which treat every single article exactly same often find that it is quite interesting the number of article views on certain articles and how others fail. Am I saying such systems are a complete crapshoot? Am I saying why bother doing much of anything about it at all, just rely on beginners luck? Am I suggesting that one may as well let all the articles fly and throw darts at the wall? Yes, this is what I am saying. I am saying screw these so-called experts all competing for that perfect article placement. One of my top articles for article views is; Cancun Girls Gone Wild, Wilma Shows All which is about Hurricane Wilma and the devastation to the resort towns of Cozemel and Cancun. Another is How to do Window Tinting so you see it is not so much about key wording as dumb luck or "luck of the draw" in page spidering. Now then, what makes my comments better than the experts? Well, I have read everything they have to say, tried their techniques and watched the results on my articles and I have written more articles than anyone else on the Internet and well, I ought to know. About the only worthy theory I have heard is the Long Tail Theory which is picking not the top 1-5 key words but concentrate on the 5-10 key words of a certain subject and of course put in the important key words too, but by being sure to contain the lesser key words that no one else is competing for, you will get more article views. My average article views are way up now and I am just shy of 800,000 article views on one site alone. So think on this and the reality, screw the experts they are full of crap and will cost you time and money. |
