sounds like some sort of guidelines and help is needed. The articles I've written, I've been concerned with content and spelling but obviously its a whole different perspective if there are other things to consider like key words and tags for search engines. I'm going to be honest and say I'm not really sure what you're getting at. What must there be in the format of an article that works for what your trying to achieve? And is it to do with ratings? Getting the word out? |
It is a tricky area, and one which I don't want our valuable contributers such as yourself to end up with "writers block" as they are worried about all the technical rubbish, which is a brand of arcane knowledge, with zero life enhancing value
Any good article, can be worked over by someone in the know, and then reapproved by the author before publication.
That reworking, would be:
1) Writing "meta description" data for an article, which consists on a description, which might in practice be pretty much the same as the introduction to the article.
2) Writing "meta keywords", a list of words or phrase relevent to the article.
3) Supplying headers that concentrate on keywords. Thus the author might supply a header "Which is the best corn", the editor might make this "Which is the best corn for feeding chickens".
4) Even more arcane techniques that further distract us from the main point of making this site a great resource, and we will only be a great resource if we concentrate on the actual content.
So why do it at all? Basically because it is a Dog eat Dog world on the web, and if you don't run with the Wolves and enage in the tricks that make your site seen, then we will succeed only on the basis of "word of mouth". With several million what you might call real web sites as opposed simple home pages, competing for attention, "word of mouth" is rarely enough for a site to get to the stage where success breeds success.
I see this site as a team effort though, with people with the downsizing knowledge being the authors providing what really matters, the raw content, and people with this technical expertise then doing the authors and the site a favour, by tweaking the articles just a little, so that a lot more people will view them.
I run a web site https://www.marsjupiter.com/ and marsjupiter achieves over 50 hits a day from people finding it via a search engine. We are no where near this level yet. But each article added and optimised will have a cumalative effect, and we will I think achieve and surpass those figures
