How to Spider Articles on the Internet
Discover How to Spider Articles on the Internet
Writing articles to promote your site can be time consuming. Do it right the first time. Brand yourself and advertise at the same time.
(PRWEB) June 13, 2007 -- After writing and studying marketing sites, books, blogs and everything one could get their hands on, the answer to "spidering" is actually a very simple one -- write and publish articles. Blast these articles out as often as possible and your site will be on top in the search engines in very little time. Experience has proven this over the last four months of trial and error. That said, there are a number of things to remember when publishing articles.
First, write in a simple fashion. The English vocabulary can be very flowery and wasteful. For the average person, the mumbo-jumbo and junk only serves to infuriate the reader. Keep vocabulary as basic as possible. People view websites for an average of seven seconds, and according to Scientific American Mind ( The Powers and Perils of Intuition, David G. Myers, June/July 2007), studies have shown that people evaluate flashed images and objects as good or bad within a quarter of a second. Obviously, then, writers better make sure their titles alone better be to the point if they want a person to actually read an article.
Further, in the words of Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, "write about what you know." Every good author knows this. If one writes about abstract ideas, thoughts often become scattered for both the writer and, in turn, the reader. If one is discussing something they are familiar with, the words flow well and without cease. Writer's block is virtually unheard of when the subject describes something that is visualized in the authors' mind.
In university, a professor of creative writing once shared this idea. He instructed to watch the turn of events, or visualize having a conversation with others regarding your subject first. Once the idea was in place in one's mind, one could choose the phrases and word choices that would best describe the idea. If then would rid of any needless repetition and vagueness naturally.
An edition of the Norton Sampler (Thomas Cooley, 1985) from my own bookshelf puts the rules as follows:
1.) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print
2.) Never use a long word where a short one will do
3.) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out
4.) Never use passive where you can use active.
5.) Never use a foreign phrase, scientific word or jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent
6.) Break any of these rules sooner that say anything outright barbarous.
Although these rules seem ridiculously simplistic, unfortunately a number of writers and authors do not follow them. This is to the disadvantage to the majority. Life is simple if it is kept simple.
For those who wish to take their writing and branding to the next level, why not write a book? Most people do not realize just how easy this can be done. In fact, there are people and organizations who do this very thing for would be authors every day. One such company is Pushbuttonpress.com. After a simple interview, a book can literally be transcribed from your discussion. If you want to get to the top, start with the articles. Once they start spreading across the 'net', the site will as well. When ready for the next step, a book can create more opportunities than one can imagine in the beginning. Talk to Donald at PushButtonPress and tell him the referral came from the author below.
