Have you been writing and submitting your free reprint articles for quite sometime now?
If so, how is your reprint rate doing? Is it doing well or is it a bit below 50%? Are webmasters approving your articles?
Here are some tips on how to write effective free reprint articles that
would guarantee great interest from ezine publishers and webmasters.
1. Choose a good keyword
A good keyword is your "key" to getting high reprint rates for even just a single article. Try using this tool at http://www.wordtracker.com/ to find the best keywords.
2. Keyword density
Keyword density is the number of "keywords" found in an article or
content which is then divided by the total number of words. Try to keep
your keyword density at 5% to 7% maximum especially if you choose
common keywords for your article. Keyword density is important because
this is one of the things search engines look into when they rank the
search results.
Do not try to make your article an article for search engines, make
them full of quality, informative but still search engine optimized.
3. Shorter word count
Publishers or webmasters often love articles that are less than 1000
words, but it totally depends on the topic and how informative is your
article. Try not to go around the bush and result to making your
article at 1800+ words. In other words, do not make it like a short
story. A good article may only have at least 250 words, but could still
capture the reader's attention and have the attributes mentioned in
numbers 1 and 2 above.
4. Good content
You wrote a 700-word article with good keywords and keyword density,
but does it contain good content? Well, only you can answer that
truthfully and if your answer is yes, then great! But for some few
inviduals this isn't the fact, many are still writing articles that
editors label as an "indirect" advert. If you really want a good
reprint rate then make your article body 100% of quality information,
tips, how-tos and tricks. Keep the 100% advert in your bylines and keep
them short.
Good luck and enjoy writing!
