My articles.. are they any good?

Hey, you do write well..got me convinced..like your blog design as well

I agree with both hidman and rosetrees - you write pretty well, though you do get a bit wordy at times. Also a bit stilted - "relax" your writing a bit.

Otherwise, I feel it's a step or two above many of the blogs that members here ask to be reviewed. Keep it up!

overall... nice.

a bit wordy... yes. I learned to write from dad, doing screenplays... and while you're not writing dialog, his advice sill holds true... "When in doubt, play it silent". Basically, cut to the chase... That said...

I shar due wishe ah culd rite reel purty lik ya due.

Thanks for the feedback all, I will try to make the posts less formal.
Well said, However like I said what I am trying to achieve is more visitors, recurring visitors and also to gain the trust of my readers as well. I will try to write a few honest recommendation articles and see how it goes.

I took a quick look. I am a writer, and one thing I noticed was your use of commas. Some of your sentences are long. Your style is good. It's friendly and accessible. But sometimes I noticed that instead of ending the sentence, you'll put a comma and then capitalize the first word in the clause. I found it a little distracting.

Internet writing works on the idea that people have short attention spans. Short paragraphs. Short sentences. Lots of subheadings. Subheadings should be bold faced.

Like I said - your grammar is sound, your style is friendly and a pleasure to read. But to truly write in an internet friendly way the things I mentioned above should be taken into consideration.

(BTW - I sort of wrote my post as a living example of what I'm saying. )

There is enthusiasm in your writing, and that is good!

Keep your verbs active and your sentences friendly but confident. Be clear about what you are saying, and be succinct as often as possible. For example:

"There are some that would argue that articles are simply a tool for getting backlinks to your blog or website but I think it never hurts to exceed people's expectations and over deliver with an article that will actually help the readers."

Here is a rewrite:

"Some people argue that articles are simply a tool to get backlinks to your blog or website. I believe that it can and should go beyond that. Exceed expectations with your articles by giving your readers helpful information."

That is only one way to rewrite it, but you get the picture. Be an expert! Try to avoid words like "I think" or "maybe" or "perhaps". Make sure sentences don't go on too long; it can tend to make readers lose focus (and subsequently interest.)

I hope this helped!

I think your writing is good. As the others said, maybe a little wordy at times, but it is good in general. Nice blog too by the way very interesting stuff.

You've gotten some good advice so far. I noticed some punctuation, grammatical and spelling errors. You'll definitely want to root those out. And I agree - break your writing into shorter sentences.

It's not designed for ad copywriting, but "The First Five Pages" by Noah Lukeman is an excellent, easy-to-read book for aspiring writers. Get it.

Ditto... I think it's good, what struck me first was that it's personable, this is something a lot of writers/bloggers etc miss.
BUT, regarding your blog, when I scroll up and down the page gets seperated somehow, very weird...is it just me?

My personal opinion:

In IM world, Good writing is AIDA - Attention Grabbing title, lead to Interest and Desire that take the action you want.

Article "marketing" is all about marketing, a tool to grab search engine traffic and make money from it! As long as you know BUM marketing well enough, you can use it to drive tons of traffic to your website!

Further building a list and membership site that will sky rocket your income! BUM marketer just send the traffic to affiliate offer, a bit "wasted", but they make good money.
