			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When people search for information on the web through Search Engines, they want to find information about the topic they are searching for. So when search engines crawl the web in order to return most relevant results to a searcher,  the only thing that counts is unique and quality content (text) on the website.  If your page doesn&#8217;t have much text, your page will not rank very well in search results.  At the same time if your page has plenty of text, but it&#8217;s not <a title="Optimize web page with theme keywords" href="http://seojr.com/optimizing-pages-with-theme-keywords/" target="_self">optimized with themed keywords</a>, you&#8217;ll probably rank poorly as well.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not good at <a title="Article Writing Tools" href="http://freearticles101.info/speedwriting-guide-article-writing-tools.html" target="_blank">article writing</a>, you may consider private label articles.  PLA&#8217;s usually consist of packs of articles that you may purchase from someone who sells articles in large groups but there are <a title="Free PLR Content" href="http://www.topnichewords.info/free-plr-content.html" target="_blank">Free PLR packs</a> as well.  Often, there is a choice between purchasing a monthly recurring subscription where you will receive large amounts of articles via email, or you will be given a url whereby you can download the articles in zipped format.  You can usually do a one-time purchase of these articles in a group.</p>
<p>Most of the time, the articles are already optimized for the search engines using keywords that have been arranged properly, with correct grammar as well as spelling and a reasonable generic focus.  The best thing is that they belong to you to do with as you want.  You will have purchased all of the rights to the use of the article, and you can change it in whatever way you want to.  You can add or remove content and you are able to put your name to it as the author if you want to.</p>
<p>Following the picking of the ideal keywords for your website, and method of sales- you can spread the private label articles throughout your website.  If you use well-chosen keywords in the right places, your pages will climb high in the search engines.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen some article directories that allow you to download as much content to use on your website as you want.  The only requirement is for you to leave the resource box with the author&#8217;s information and links in it, unchanged.</p>
<p>You can use these articles for free on your site. They are free as in no-cost.  Howeve,r you may lose some of your perceived authority, your customers and sales.  If you use a few of these articles from experts, you may not have any problems.  If however you use only free articles you are sending the wrong message.  Especially if you are sending the customers that you aren&#8217;t too knowledgeable in the subject to be able to pen your own articles.</p>
<p>You are also providing all who visit your website a fast way out and onto your competitor&#8217;s website.  They only need to click that link in the resource box to go onto the author&#8217;s website.  If the article is written well enough to garner your attention, it most likely will capture the attention of your customer as well.  It&#8217;s likely that they will go on to search for that same author.</p>
<p>The resource boxes can steal your sales as well as your customers. You aren&#8217;t even aware of when it is happening.</p>
<p>Other Ways Of Improving Your Search Rankings</p>
<p>If you use the <a title="Free Articles Directory Submitter" href="http://seojr.com/the-best-new-free-link-building-tool-available-today/" target="_self">article directory method</a> and combine it with using private label articles your rankings should increase in the search engines.  This is the way that others do it.  Most articles that are submitted to article directories are accepted as long as they are written in accordance with the guidelines of the article directory.  Ensure that you give your private label articles that you have written under your name, with your resource box, to the article directory as well.</p>
<p>The first thing that happens is this creates yet another link to your web site from the article directories.  Every time the search engines find another link to your website, your ranking is boosted just a little more.  The can be very beneficial if you ensure that your link contains your keywords.  Since you are able to create the author&#8217;s box as you want to,  you can make sure to use the keywords that you want to.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perhaps the most popular way of promoting your website is by <a title="Article Writing Guide and Tools" href="http://freearticles101.info/speedwriting-guide-article-writing-tools.html" target="_blank">writing articles</a>.  This is very easy and is costs you nothing.  Maybe you&#8217;ve wondered why your article isn&#8217;t getting published or passed around.  Probably no one is reading it.  Before you ask people to pass it around, you need to encourage them to read your article.</p>
<p>You wrote your article to be read.  Whenever no one reads it, it basically means that it&#8217;s not going to be <a title="Submit articles for free distribution, publication and promotion" href="http://freearticles101.info/submitarticles/" target="_blank">published</a> or passed around either.  You took the time to write the article, so you want it to be read.  Why waste your time if you write it and then it&#8217;s rejected?  There are probably many articles written about the same topic as you&#8217;ve chosen.  Make yours visible above the rest.  How do you do this?</p>
<p>Some internet articles get read, but quite often, most are not.  This happens because most people aren&#8217;t being creative enough to explore article writing.  Make your article come alive.  Here are 7 tips for making your articles get noticed and having people actually read them.  You made it this far, didn&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>1.  It&#8217;s important to write about something that is interesting to you.  Write your articles in a different way.  Most likely, there are many articles that are written about your subject on the internet.  You may have seen articles talking about the same thing that you want to talk about, and you may have even done your research using some of them.  Being knowledgeable about your subject helps you.  Try to approach the subject in a different way.  Add some humor, ask some obvious questions about the subject that many people would want to ask, but that most other articles don&#8217;t include them.  Of course, you should also answer the quetsions.  By asking questions and answering them- it makes your article more interesting to read.</p>
<p>2.  Make your article&#8217;s headline &#8220;catchy&#8221;.  Catchy headlines are among the most important features of an article.  As your article gets included on the list of an article directory, it usually displays your headline with a little blurb underneath it.  A good headline is designed to grab the attention of people browsing the website.  Some people also do searches for an article using a search engine.  For this reason it&#8217;s important that your headline containing some of the more popular keywords that are related to your subject.  Remember, some peole judge an article just by reading it&#8217;s headline.  It doesn&#8217;t matter how informative and interesting and fun to read your article is to read, if your headline doesn&#8217;t catch people&#8217;s attention, you&#8217;ve wasted your time and they won&#8217;t read it.</p>
<p>3.  Make sure to write a good introduction to your article.  People will begin here to read your article.  Try to make this introduction &#8220;catchy&#8221;.  Ask a burning question.  This should certainly grab most people&#8217;s attention.  This can also make it easier to progress through your article from one question to the next.</p>
<p>4.  Ease Of Reading</p>
<p>5.  Make Your Article A Bit Humorous.  Make Your Readers Believe That You Know What You Are Talking About</p>
<p>6.  Don&#8217;t turn it into a sales pitch.  Bear in mind that you are trying to give information, not sell.  By turning it into a sales pitch you be as annoying as the salesman knocking on the door during breakfast.</p>
<p>7.  Finally, don&#8217;t forget to include your name, business&#8217; name, and your website&#8217;s url in your resource box.  These are the most common mistakes that article writers make.</p>
