Make the headline of your article captivating to your readers.
More importantly, your headline must contain the keywords of the subject of your article. This will enhance search engine optimization.
2. Article Length
Keep your article to between 500 and 900 words long. Never less than 350 words. If you have more words count than 900, you should break your article up into more than one part.
3. Search Engine
Optimization
You should optimize your articles for search engines. The publisher needs optimized article pages for search engines. Your chosen keyword(s) should be placed in your headline and in every paragraph. Prefarably, place your keyword(s) once in every twenty to thirty words on the average.
That gives between 3% and 5% density for your article. Never more than this to avoid spamming the search engines.
4. Formatting Your Articles
