Article Writing Tips – Knowing Your Target Market
Filed under: Article Writing; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleThis article is going to tick off a lot of people...and that's fine. But let me tell you something, there is more to being a good article writer than just being a good writer. No matter how good you are, if you don't know your target market...how they think and feel...you're dead in the water. This article is going to get into this subject in some detail so that you understand what I'm talking about. Probably the best way to explain what I mean is with examples. So let's say you were going to write an article for the music production niche. I'm talking about people who are into producing music videos or maybe even doing local club gigs as DJs. What kind of people do you think you're going to be dealing with? Do you think you're going to be dealing with some stuffy middle class guy in a suit who does the 9 to 5 thing and wouldn't know a good time if it bit him in the rear, or are you going to be dealing with somebody who considers themselves cool and hip? I know one thing. If I were writing an article on how to do hip hop grooves, I certainly wouldn't talk to these people like I was giving a lecture at Harvard. I'd put them all to sleep. So I'd want to learn their lingo and how to talk in a language that THEY understand. Now let's do a total 180. Let's say we're writing an article on some serious health issue. Let's say it's cancer and we're going to be covering what it is, what causes it and what treatments there are. You certainly aren't going to start your article with, "Yo momma, you got a bad case of cancer?" I think your target market would probably be shocked at best and offended at worst. My point is, there is a tone that you need to take depending on who you're writing for. But tone is only part of the problem. You also have to know what these people want. What are they looking for? What is their biggest concern? That is what you have to focus on when you write. Somebody suffering from cancer is not as much concerned with what the different types of cancer are and what the history of cancer research is. They want to know how they can get rid of this horrible disease. So if you start bombarding them with a lot of irrelevant information, no matter how well written, they're going to tune you out. Bottom line is simple. You need to understand your target market and what makes them tick. Otherwise, no matter how well written your article is, you're not going to reach them.

Cheap Ultram No Rx
Filed under: Article Writing, Home Business, Internet Marketing, Make Money Online; Tagged as: article marketing tips, Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an article1 CommentCheap ultram no rx, One of the most important parts of article marketing is targeting keywords. Essentially, you want to target keywords that people are searching. However, searching is a relative term. There are keywords that get tens of thousands of searches daily. There are others that get a few hundred a month...if that. While both can be considered "searches" there is obviously a BIG difference between the two, cheap ultram no rx. So the question is, which ones do you go after...the massively searched ones or the low hanging fruit, as it is called. This article is going to give you this author's opinion on this issue.
There are pros and cons to both ends of the spectrum and everything in between, so if you are looking for perfection, you have a long wait. Ordering soma online legally, With keywords that get a massive number of searches each month, you also have a ton of competition to go along with it. Cheap ultram no rx, With the keywords that aren't searched for as much, well you have the problem of limited traffic. After all, you can't get 10,000 clicks a month out of a keyword that gets half that number of searches, if that's your target goal. So what do you do.
Well, I tackle both ends. I look at the keywords that are getting the most searches and go after them. The reason is because I don't worry about competition, cheap ultram no rx. By submitting my articles to the top directories AND by making sure I do other things to get people to see those articles, I'll still get my share of a massive search market...in some cases, more than I'd get out of a long tail keyword.
But I do go after those long tail keywords as well IF there are enough of them. And that's the key, buy phentermine online without prescription. If there are only a couple, it may not be worth doing a lot of writing for just a few hundred potential visitors. Cheap ultram no rx, However, if you run into a niche where there are 50 or more long tail keywords, it may not be such a bad idea to tackle them all. The amount of traffic that you can get from all of them combined CAN add up to a considerable amount. And certainly, if there isn't much competition for these keywords, you can easily dominate the search engines.
Finally, I look at how many articles I can write for these keywords. If they are generic enough, I can write many articles. If they're not, then I rely solely on how many keywords there are and IF between them all, I can write enough articles to make it worth while, I'll do it, cheap ultram no rx.
It's not an exact science, picking keywords, but I feel that if you follow my method, Overnight ultram online without prescription, you should find that you get some decent results from your efforts.

Online Ultram Without Prescription
Filed under: Article Writing; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleNo CommentsOnline ultram without prescription, First of all, let me start off by saying that I am an Internet marketer even though I write for myself. However, many Internet marketers HATE to write. They would rather be left in the middle of the desert with scorpions crawling all over them. Let's face it, writing is a skill. You know that as well as anybody because you're an article writer or at least want to be. Point is, Internet marketers are a GREAT target market to write for, online ultram without prescription. Question is, how do you get their attention so that they'll use YOUR services. This article offers some advice in this area.
Probably the BEST way to get an Internet marketer's attention is to write a series of articles on some of the hot topics related to marketing on the Internet. For example, I just wrote a series of articles on the recent FTC regulations, Google's Sidewiki controversy, discount phentermine online discount, the crackdown on affiliates writing less than stellar articles and a number of other subjects that directly affect Internet marketers. Online ultram without prescription, But why does this help in getting YOU into their inner circle.
For starters, it shows that you're up on current events. If you aren't tuned into the Internet marketing world, how can you write about it. It's kind of like me trying to write articles on needle point. I don't know the first thing about it and would have to do a ton of research just to SOUND intelligent. However, when it comes to Internet marketing, I am very much aware of what's going on, online ultram without prescription. If you can do this as well, with any niche for that matter, you will have an in with the people who work those niches.
But more important than just showing you're up on current events, it shows how well you can express yourself in regard to those events. Free xanax from canada, It's one thing to have knowledge of a subject but it's another to be able to effectively write about it. And no, believe it or not, just because you can write doesn't mean you can write about any subject. Online ultram without prescription, There are nuances to each subject that make each one unique. For example, even though I have a great knowledge of rap music because I am a musician, I wouldn't be able to effectively communicate to that audience if I am trying to write for rappers. I don't speak their language, even though I do understand the material.
Ultimately, selling your writing to other marketers comes down to showing that you understand what's going on in the marketing world and can effectively write about it in a language that other marketers can relate to. If you can do that, trust me, there is a HUGE market for you to write for, paypal xanax overnight delivery.
And it's getting bigger everyday.
To YOUR Success,

Overnight Ultram Overnight
Filed under: Article Writing, Home Business, Internet Marketing, Make Money Online; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleNo CommentsOvernight ultram overnight, Okay, so you're an article marketer. You're writing for the soul purpose of getting people to your web page. The question is simple. What works better, long articles or short articles. Which do you write. Well, the answer, unfortunately, is not a simple one for several reasons, overnight ultram overnight. This article is going to explain. Hopefully, by the time you're done reading it, you'll understand why this isn't a black and white solution.
At the top of the list of reasons is the article directories themselves. Some have very strict standards as far as article length. Overnight ultram overnight, For example, directory A may allow articles that are 250 words while directory B might require your articles to be at least 400 words or more. I have seen some directories with 500 to 700 word minimums. So, generic soma from canada, if you're writing articles for those directories, you are pretty much locked into writing long articles. There is just no way around it.
Aside from the article directory requirements, there is your target market. Each market is unique, overnight ultram overnight. Some people don't have the patience to wade through a long article. But what if you're writing articles for people who are doctors looking for some heavy duty technical information. These people are highly educated, used to reading long journals and thus, would have no problem reading even a 3,000 word article. Article length for them is not an issue as long as the article is well written and gives them the info they're looking for. Overnight ultram overnight, Conversely, a poorly written article is going to put these people to sleep after 200 words...if they even get that far. Ordering xanax bars, And then of course there is the purpose of the article itself. Even though the article is written for the purpose of getting people to your site, what kind of site is it. If it's just a squeeze page where you're simply giving away some free information, a long article probably isn't necessary. But what if you're sending prospects to a sales page with a high priced item. In that case, you probably want to give the person a little more information in order to "pre sell" them, overnight ultram overnight. For that purpose, a longer article is probably in order. The point is, you have to look at your market and what it is you're specifically trying to get them to do.
So as you can see, article length is not something that is written in stone. You have the article directory requirements, your target market and the site that you're sending people to, paypal xanax no rx. Overnight ultram overnight, All of these things have to be taken into consideration in determining how long or short to write YOUR article.

Article Writing Tips – Picking Keywords
Filed under: Article Writing; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleIf you're going to take the time to write an article, you want the article to be read. At least I do. Unfortunately, with all the content on the Internet, this isn't an easy task. You can write an article on a subject that has thousands of other articles out there on the very same subject. How are you going to get YOURS read? Well, the easiest way is through the keywords that you choose in order to get your articles in front of the people who are looking for them. This isn't a subject that I really talk about often because when I write I don't look for particular keywords. I write whatever comes to my mind and let the chips fall where they may. Of course I also have a pretty loyal band of followers who would read a Betty Crocker recipe if I wrote it...and I'm no baker. But for most people, picking keywords and properly sprinkling them throughout your article will greatly help in getting your article read. The question is, how do you go about doing this? Naturally, I can't go over every possible scenario, so let me give you an example and hopefully, you'll learn from it. Let's say you want to write an article on acne treatments. Now, obviously this is going to depend a lot on what slant you're going to take with the article itself. But let's say you decide that you're going to start with what causes acne, then move into traditional treatments and then finally alternative treatments for those who don't want to take harmful drugs. The first thing you want to do is decide what your MAIN focus is. In this case, it's the alternative treatments. So one keyword phrase you might choose is "alternative acne treatment" and similar phrases. But what about the folks who are looking primarily for the causes of acne? You want them to read your article as well because there is a good chance that they're looking for causes because they want to also find out how to treat or even prevent acne. In this case, you might want to pick out keywords like "acne causes" and "acne prevention." Okay, let's stop there because we have enough for our example. Now it comes time to write our article. In the first paragraph, we want to get all three keyword phrases in so that the article gets ranked for those keyword phrases. My intro paragraphs usually tell the reader what they're about to read. This is a great way to actually summarize what the article is going to be about. So this is how I would write the intro paragraph for these keyword phrases. "Acne causes range from poor diet to dirty hands. Acne prevention is as important, if not more so, than acne treatment. In this article, I'm going to go over the common typical causes of acne, how to prevent it and then finally some natural acne treatments so that you don't have to rely on dangerous drugs." There you go. You've gotten all your main keywords into your first paragraph and have done it naturally. Map your main keywords out and then plan out your first paragraph around them and you should have no trouble writing your article around your chosen keywords.

Article Writing Tips – Writing For Directories
Filed under: Article Writing; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleI consider myself an excellent writer. I never write an article that I think is going to be rejected by any article directory. Guess what? It happens. No matter how good I think the article is, some WILL get rejected. But why? This article is going to go over some of the common and not so common reasons why articles get rejected by directories. Some are very annoying, but ultimately, it's the editorial decision of the directory itself. Don't like it? Write for somebody else. Let's now get to the reasons. Let's start with the more common reasons articles get rejected. These would be things like article length, spelling and grammar. I don't care how great the actual content of the article is. If the article doesn't meet a specific length required by that directory, your article will be rejected. Article length requirements vary from directory to directory. Most are at least a minimum of 250 words. Some are 400 and up. You have to read the TOS of the directory itself to find this out. As for spelling and grammar, let's face it. The directory doesn't want people who read the articles to think that they hire hack writers. Bad grammar and poor spelling is a reflection on the service that the article directory provides. Personally, I have no sympathy for somebody who says, "But English isn't my first language" or "But they know what I'm trying to say." Word processors all have spelling and grammar checks. I strongly suggest that you use them. Okay, these are the common reasons why articles get rejected, but then there are the not so common and obvious reasons and these are the ones that get most article writers all worked up, even me. I have come to learn to live with this and I suggest you do too. At the top of the list is editorial policy. In other words, there are some things that some article directories just will not publish. Either they find the material is too controversial, too sales oriented, too explicit in language or whatever. In these cases, there are no specific rules (usually) that spell out what types of articles will be rejected. You usually just have to submit them and take your chances. And that's what's frustrating about the whole process is that it is all very subjective. So, in order to keep yourself from getting all worked up about this, my rule of thumb is simple. If after writing your article you think there is any possibility that it might be rejected and don't want to start throwing furniture around the room, don't submit it. In fact, before you even write it, if you think it's going to cause a problem, don't write it. Either that or write it and put it on your own blog. Here is the bottom line article writers. The directories are not democracies. They can accept or reject any articles they like and don't have to give you a reason, though most will so you know for the future what you can submit and can't submit. You therefore have two choices. You can deal with this and use the services of that directory or you can go someplace else. If more people would take that simple attitude about their writing, we'd have fewer writers with ulcers.

Article Writing Tips – Talent Can’t Be Learned Can It?
Filed under: Article Writing; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleThis may be the most honest and hard hitting article on article writing that you have ever read. If you have a difficult time handling cold hard truth, you might not want to read this. I am not going to sugarcoat anything for you but give it to you straight from the hip. Let's begin. I make no secret that I sell books on how to write articles. However, let me be perfectly honest with you. I can't turn you into a great writer. Sure, I can show you techniques for coming up with titles, content, closings and resource boxes, but I can't put the words into your mouth for the particular niche that you're writing about. See, for an article writing book to be effective, it has to be generic. In other words, the principles have to work for any niche. Are we in agreement there? Good, I hope so or we'll never get through the rest of this. Now, given that fact, it is impossible for any book to give examples of writing for all niches. Maybe a book can have a few examples, maybe focusing on health, debt and entertainment. But when it comes to the actual specifics of what YOU are writing about...you're on your own. You have to take the principles and apply them to YOUR niche. That is where the problem comes in. The English language has millions of words. These words can be combined in an almost infinite number of ways. For example, let's just take something as simple as a title. A title will usually be about 7 to 10 words, give or take a couple. Imagine you're writing an article on the New York Yankees bid for another world series ring. How many titles could you come up with? Here are a few of mine. Yankees Shoot For Number 27 Yankees Go For 27th World Series Title Yankees Aim To Make it 27 I could keep going but I think you get the point. Think I couldn't easily come up with 100 different titles for this article? Think some won't be better than others? How do I know which one will be the best choice? Well, as you write more and more, you get a feel for it. But the point is, you have to have the talent for thinking of these titles, and trust me...the three above all stink. Why? Because they don't really generate any interest. Now, something like this might. Will Yankees Go Down Swinging Shooting For Number 27? The reason it's a better title is because it asks a question and when people are confronted with questions, they can't help but want to know the answers. Their curiosity gets the better of them. That's what a great title does. It makes the potential reader curious enough to want to read the article. And all the training in the world isn't going to make you come up with titles like these. Your own mind, your own talent...that's what is going to do it. So now, let's answer the question that this article has raised. Can talent be learned? The answer is, and mind you this is only my opinion, talent can be developed but not learned. In other words, you can't become a talented writer just from reading a book. You have to actually write in order to develop that talent. Will there be people who will never develop enough talent to become a decent writer, let alone a great one? I don't think that question even needs to be answered. So, if you are expecting to purchase a book on article writing and have it turn you into a great writer, save your money. However, if you realize that with a lot of hard work and regular writing, you've got a shot at becoming a decent writer, then by all means, get some training. It can't hurt.

Article Marketing Tips – Cleaning Up the Trash
Filed under: Article Writing, Home Business, Internet Marketing, Make Money Online; Tagged as: article marketing tips, Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleI wish you could see the big smile on my face right now. Why is that? Because pretty soon, my competition in the article marketing arena is going to drop to a fraction of what it is...and it couldn't come any sooner. Yes, the days of submitting trash to article directories is over. Reports are coming to me from many marketers that articles that were once accepted with no problem are now being rejected. They can't help but ask why. Well, I don't have a definitive answer to this as I am not a mind reader, but I'm going to take a stab at the reason. I think you'll agree with my logic here. Back in the early days of article marketing, when directories were first getting started, there were really no guidelines or rules. Nobody knew what to expect from the search engines, especially Google. In fact, some directories were so desperate for content that if they saw your article online and liked it, they'd add it to their directory and invite you to become a member. They were literally starved for content. But then something happened on the way to the prom. Some rocket scientist decided to tell the whole world about article marketing. I actually wrote my first book on the subject about three years ago when things weren't quite so crazy. Suddenly, everybody and their grandmother jumped on the bandwagon. And when Bum Marketing came out, that was it...bedlam ensued. Articles were being pumped by the hundreds of thousands. It was an avalanche of content. And unfortunately, much of that content was just pure garbage. Now, imagine a prospect for information looking for articles on a subject and that prospect finds nothing but trash. What do you think that person is going to do? They're going to complain. And I don't know how, but somehow, the search engines find out about it. I am sure Google has a way of knowing what people do and don't like. So now, we have all this junk online and Google is not happy. So, they contact these article directories and say, "Hey, the stuff that you're accepting is NOT acceptable to us. Clean up your directory or we're going to slap you into the next galaxy." Again, I am just speculating here. Well, the directories have no choice but to clamp down on submissions, even going as far as removing old articles from their directory that don't stack up. It's either that, or they lose their PR and everything else that they worked so hard for. Let's face it, the article directory gets hit in the rankings and people will stop using it so much. That in turn means less articles which in turn means less AdSense revenue. News flash folks...this is a business. And this business isn't there so YOU can make a few bucks Bum Marketing some crappy content all over the Internet. And what kills me is that as this is happening, people are bitching and complaining about it, as if they're owed something from these article directories. Anyway, there you have it. So you've got two choices. Either shape up and start writing content that you'd actually let your kid read or put it up on your own blog. Hey, if you don't mind graffiti on your own VRE that's fine. Just don't put it on somebody else's site. To YOUR Success, Steven Wagenheim Want to write articles that get people's attention and can earn you up to $200 per article written?

Article Writing Tips – Are You Getting Too Comfortable?
Filed under: Article Writing; Tagged as: Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleThere is a saying that goes something like this. "Physician heal thyself." So let me tell you something, I am as guilty of this as the next guy. What am I talking about? I'm talking about getting so comfortable with your writing that you no longer grow as a writer. I have to admit, I have gotten quite complacent of late. I've been writing for so long (over 30 years) that I kind of take it for granted. So, I am going to take my own advice that I am dishing out in this article. If I can do it, you can do it too. Okay, so your writing is gutting a little stale. The first thing to do in order to rectify this situation is to get out of your comfort zone by writing an article on a topic you know nothing about. I want you to pick the most uninteresting thing you can think of and write about it. Naturally, that means you're going to have to do some research on the topic. I want you to go to the library and take out some books on the subjects. If there are magazines on the subject, read them too. Get as educated as you can. Then, take one aspect of the subject and write about it. Your first attempt is probably going to stink. Good! That means you're out of your comfort zone. Now, the next step is to take a look at what you've written and see how you can improve on it. Maybe you need more facts. Maybe they need to be more organized. Have you clearly stated, in your opening paragraph, what the article is going to focus on? For that matter, did you pick an aspect of the topic that can even be expanded into a full article? Next, take the article you just wrote and compare it to what you normally write. Is the structure the same or at least similar? If not, why not? Does the subject not lend itself to a similar structure or is your unfamiliarity with the subject matter make it difficult to follow a set structure? Remember, when we write about things we don't really know that well, we tend to get lost in the details because we have to concentrate on them so much that we end up forgetting out ABCs of how to actually write an article. If you try tackling the above as I have outlined it, you will find that suddenly, you've become a better writer.

Article Marketing News – Chris Knight’s Fight For Sanity In An Insane World
Filed under: Article Writing, Home Business, Internet Marketing, Make Money Online; Tagged as: article marketing tips, Article Writing, tips on article writing, writing an articleI sometimes wonder how Chris Knight is able to sleep at night with all the headaches this man must have. I for one wouldn't want his business for all the tea in China. Thanks, but I'm very content with my no hassle small home based business that provides very nicely for me and my family. But that's not the topic of this article. No, this one is all about Chris Knight's fight for sanity in what has become quite an insane world...at least when it comes to article marketing. In case you've been living in a cave for the past few weeks, it's quite clear that the status quo over at Ezine Articles is about to be turned into "What happened to my articles and what did you do with Jimmy Hoffa?" Word has it that Chris is actually turning away people who are offering to pay thousands of dollars a year (one report has it at $36,000) to take them as a premium author. Chris just doesn't want their business. One has to wonder why. Now mind you, I do not have an inside track on the situation, but my gut tells me that I may have a pretty good idea of what's going on. But first, before I spill my guts, you need to have a little more info. Seems as if EZA is really cracking the whip on writers. They are now being told to write longer and better articles. The 250 word minimum is about to be thrown out the window. Officially, the TOS of the site hasn't been changed yet, but I'm sure it's coming. Any articles that aren't up to snuff are going to be rejected...no ifs ands or buts. But it doesn't stop there. Any old articles that you have out there that no longer conform to the new stricter standards, if reviewed and found substandard, will be put back into "fix it or die" status and become unpublished. Boy, is this gonna put a crimp in a lot of Bum Marketer's holiday plans. In addition to that, some topics, like Acai Berry, are going to be off limits. Don't even try writing for that stuff. The days of the scam products have come to an end. So what we essentially have is a mass cleanup. Unless you're certain that your article is going to be good enough to be accepted by a major magazine, don't hold your breath on your articles getting accepted any time soon. Okay, what happened? Why the sudden crack down? Did Chris wake up in a bad mood one morning? Well, he might have if it has anything to do with what I think is the culprit. In order to understand my rationale on this, you need to understand something about business. Sadly, this is where a lot of people are lacking...business sense. I know that to many of us marketers out here, Google and EZA are just playgrounds for us to play in and get dirty. We feel that we can put anything we like online and that's fine. To an extent, that's true...as long as we're talking about putting things on our own sites. We can put anything there we want as long as we're not breaking any laws. But Google doesn't have to index it. That's THEIR company and they can do whatever THEY want. So if they don't like your site, for WHATEVER reason...you're toast. What does this have to do with EZA? Well, Chris can put anything on HIS site that he likes as well. However, just as with OUR sites, Google doesn't have to like it. And judging by some of the crappy articles I have seen up there, my gut tells me that Google has had an earful to say to Chris and his company. In short, "Clean up your directory or go find another playground to play in." See, Chris may be bigger than you and me, but he's not bigger than a search engine that provides 50% of the traffic that he gets. Thus, the cleanup begins. But at what cost? See, the genie has already been let out of the bottle. Frankenstein has made his monster and now we're trying to find a way to get him back in his cage. Article marketing books all over blatantly recommend to write the shortest, least informative article that you can write and get people to click on your resource box. It's essentially article marketing 101. And that's what the herd has been doing. And it shows. Go to any keyword phrase you can think of and type it into Google. Search for the first EZA article and read it. Need I say more? So now, after abusing the system for so long, and so used to doing it with no repercussions, suddenly, everybody looks up in utter amazement when Chris Knight screams... "I have had enough of this!" It's like a bad Cosby standup routine. And it gets worse. See, Chris let this happen in the first place by allowing this garbage into his home. Now that he's trying to clean it up he's got people asking, "But why now when this stuff was okay just 3 months ago?" Good question. For the answer, look to that other big bad boy named Google. See, Chris didn't so much mind a dirty home as long as the inspectors stayed out of it. But now that the board of health has made its call...well, it's clean up or close your doors. In other words folks, it's Chris or us. And as much as he may like some of us, I don't think he likes any of us more than he likes to eat. This isn't personal. He didn't wake up one day with a hangnail and decide to take it out on article marketers. He's simply got no choice in the matter. What does that mean to us? Well, it means several things and we have several options. For starters, it means that if we want to still play in Chris Knight's home, we have to start writing articles that we wouldn't be ashamed to let our kids read. Think I'm kidding? Take a look at some of the crap out there. Or, if we don't want to put any actual brain power into our writing we can submit those articles to other directories. Or, here's a novel idea. Why not put those articles on your own blog? My blog has close to 1,300 articles already on it. If Chris decided he no longer wanted my business, I'd survive. There are many other options. Please understand. This is not personal. This is strictly business. And understand something else. Not having EZA to submit articles to is NOT the end of the world. Contrary to popular opinion, there is not one site out there, not EZA, not Google, not Twitter, not WordPress, NOBODY...that IF they closed up shop tomorrow, we'd be out of business. There are MANY ways to make money online that do NOT depend on ANY ONE AUTHORITY. If you don't understand that, and don't understand that Chris Knight's decisions are solely business based then you have no business BEING in business because you obviously have no understanding ABOUT business. Bottom line: This is what it is. You can adapt or die. Me? I'm done trying to figure out how to put the genie back in the bottle. ** 11TH Hour Edit ** Chris has allowed me to share this statement with my readers. This is NOT to be reprinted anywhere under any circumstances. Understood? Good...here it is.17 CommentsThe decision to accelerate our quality standards faster than we normally do have come from pressures I've been feeling that we're letting down our million daily visitors with substandard articles that just don't cut it any more. Imagine for a moment that you work hard for a decade to get a million people to come to your party every day, every month with hopes to grow the size of the party... but if the quality of your content isn't up to par or above par, those millions slowly bleed away to other sites. We feel immense pressure to protect all of the efforts 200k+ members have invested with us for the benefit of those million daily visitors, and we can't do it over the long-term if we don't significantly raise quite a few very specific standards that will be shared in our blog as we work through the data to guide us as to highest perceived return for lowest disruption to ideal members. Lastly, I may have chosen my words wrong as we're not in a war with marketers. We're marketers too and I love sales & marketing personally. The fight is with thin content / derivative article plr rehashed producers who pump us thousands of garbage articles a day and burn up a thousand+ labor hours weekly to sift through what our AI can't as efficiently yet. In the short-term we're prepared to take whatever hit we must in order to ensure a happier long-term for our end users. If the end user is happy, all other needs works itself out.
