9 things to do before publishing an article

 To achieve maximum results with an article he must pass through several stages of "grinding". I mean when I say traffic results, position as top searches, sales conversion.

There is a perception that once wrote the article itself, 99% of the work is completed. Wrong! Would be more correct to consider that 50% of the work is completed and the article have to go through several stages before being published.

Here are nine steps you should consider them before you publish an article.

1. Read the article that you wrote

The temptation is very great that once written article Publish button to press. It is a mistake. Each article should be read 2-3 times before being published to correct typos, expression, to better arrange paragraphs, etc..

Also be a logical article and if the arguments used in support of the theme / subject are solid.

2. Complete Article

Once you read the article, it should be clear to the author if I can add paragraphs, phrases, images, so that article to be as complete. An article presenting the subject in detail is more likely to be appreciated and so noted on other blogs, thus obtaining backlinks.

3. Article optimize for keywords

It is known that a large part of any blog traffic comes from search engines. So optimization is important and should come into the habit of every blogger.

Keyword choice can be made using the Google AdWords Keyword Tool. As a general rule, words must be chosen as high traffic and competition as small. After you choose 2-3 keywords will be used to supplement the meta tags (title, description, keywords) and post tags. To complete the meta tags will recommend using the plugin All in One SEO.

4. Choose a suitable title

After being chosen keywords can go to the title of the article. As a general rule, it is good that the title to be written after the article was finished and not vice versa.

Choosing a title is an art in itself, because the title can determine if an article is read or not, if you get to be popular on social networking, etc..

5. Make contact with other articles that you wrote

Each article is a gateway to the blog and thus an opportunity to turn a visitor into a loyal reader. Therefore, it is useful, where appropriate, to link to older articles. It is important to link only to articles of the highest quality.

6. Make contact with external resources, if necessary

Many bloggers hesitate to put links to other sites or blogs. It is a mistake! The reader appreciates quality information, but also its source. For example, if you say "more details about this issue found on the X", the reader will remember the blog as a source of information.

Of course, not be abused external links, and should not become a blog aggregator and solutions presented articles on other blogs.

There is the myth that negative influence of external links Page Rank. This is not true for years.

7. Make sure all links work

One thing common sense: check all links before publishing an article. For the interested reader is very annoying to not be able to access information on who wants to go.

Clicking on the Preview and clicks on all links in the article you can save future troubles.

8. Add images as suggestive

Images can turn a good article in a very good article and a very good article in one exceptional. Let's not forget that the images are the ones that attract attention first.

The picture quality used to be very good. Rather than use a poor quality picture, better off.

9. Optimize your permalink

Last but not least be optimized address / link of the article. It does not have to be exactly the same title. It is recommended to give the words of connection and use keywords in the article.
