Writing Bad Articles for Fun and Profit by Stephan Miller

Buy it while its hot, it's the article cannon. It will blast your article out to thousands of site within the hour...and so on and so forth.

You have seem then. There has to be three or four products like this on the market. Do they work? Probably. Are they worth it? Maybe. But I know one thing. I see an emerging trend of article spam on the rise as a result.

Articles that are nothing more than the precise amount of keywords randomly sprinkled through text that really says nothing to begin with. Who would read it? Who cares? With automated posting of articles to websites, no one does until the first surfer sees it.

Do writer's actually sign their name to articles like these? Attach their names to worthless filler and search engine fodder.

Even worse is the fact that sites actually publish these articles. Is this what finding website content has come to, settling for articles that read like high school term papers? Is this what you want people to see when they visit your site?

Words lose their value when they are meant to bring search engines hits instead of genuinely interested visitors. The average internet surfer won't go past the fold in the webpage unless you catch their interest and give them a reason to continue. And as a webmaster, you must give them this reason.

Give them bland paragraphs and general knowledge and your visitors won't stop for long. Give you r articles a genuine voice and your visitors may return later. Make the boring seem interesting. Explain something a way its never been explained before.

And whatever you do, don't write your article like a term paper. If your visitors wanted an encyclopedic version of your subject than they would have gone to Wikipedia.

Instead, they you to have something new to say and they want to know by the first few sentences. Correct grammar and proper sentence structure isn't going to cut it. You have to have more.

Your article has to have something than every other article out there on the subject. And that is your voice, your point of view. And then you can think about the article cannon.
