I think writing quality articles is not all that matters. It is only half of what you have to do to succeed in article marketing. Your resource box should include a call to action which will make the reader likely to click on it. Something like “get the best laptop at the cheapest price by clicking here” will be great to convince the reader backed up with your quality article.

I don’t think consistency is over-rated. I think it is generally better to stay consistent when it comes to writing your articles. And yes, you do not want to change your previous article titles as it will break your incoming links.

If you really don’t like the format of your current titles, I’d say start a new format, but stick with your new format and stay consistent. Sooner or later, your loyal readers will adapt to the new changes.

Hey Tom, For my book blogs, which was the original reason I started my blog a few years ago, I used a format (Author Name: “Book Title”). For sake of consistency, I have stuck with it, and esp. b/c changing titles on previous articles will result in broken links etc. Do you think consistency is over-rated in this case? Thanks!

Since you’re an article directory owner, I can see why it’s important to maintain quality articles on your directory. This is done to ensure that publishers can find great content to publish on their own website. In turn, you get more traffic if the publishers keep coming back to your directory.

However, as an article/affiliate marketer, it is much more effective to write shorter articles (300 to 500 words) because they want to give the reader just enough information so that they will click on the link in the resource box to get more information.

Once the reader clicks on that link, they are immediately sent to the affiliate marketer’s landing page.

As an article directory owner, I like to have article that have words more than 300. I got so many short articles and that doesn’t look like quality articles. Maybe in the future I will increase the limit words to 500.

The best quality article mostly between 500 to 1000 words.

One more thing I have to tell. I have seen many article have broken link. Too bad.

You’re absolutely right! The top performing article directories like EzineArticles, GoArticles, and ArticleAlley take longer to approve your articles in order to weed out all the bad articles.

The low quality article directories accepts almost every mediocre article you submit to them, from the non-unique to the non-edited version of PLR articles.

I also like article marketing, however the only problem I have found is that the more popular ones keep your articles for a few days before they are put live.

The article sites that accept articles immediately always seem to be very low quality sites.

Content is key, as they say! No one would want to read poorly written and useless articles. So it’s really important that when one writes something, it has some valuable and relevant content, something that the readers will be able to relate to. Thanks!
