Article writing criteria?

Hi
I am currently writing my own articles to be released by one of the article submission services.

In writing my articles, what is some standard criteria that I should be following?

Things I am thinking of include:
what keyword density?
how should I be inserting my links to my site?
recommended length?
should each article only be focused on 1 keyword?

And lastly, are there article submission services which I can pay per article? Or all they all a subscription or product based item?

Lots of questions I know, but thanks for your time.

    I'm not sure if this is a copywriter question, but I'll answer it anyway,

    I wouldn't worry about keyword density too much - it's been widely known that packing in keywords gets you flagged as spam fairly quickly. I mention my keyword a few times, and try to include at least one anchor if I can.

    Which brings me to the inserting links - insert them as anchor text. Not too many. I prefer just doing one per article myself.

    Length for a standard article is 400-700 words. Any smaller and its not an article, any bigger and it might not be fully read.

    I focus on one keyword per article myself - try it out and see what gets you the best results.

    let me know if this helped you

    In response to your questions:


    what keyword density? - I would keep keyword density between 1% to 2%

    how should I be inserting my links to my site? - Make sure to use proper anchor text when inserting your links. Some directories allow links in the body while others just allow them in the resource box.

    recommended length? - This depends on you. In general, you can never go wrong with at least a 500 word article.

    should each article only be focused on 1 keyword? - You can have 1 main keyword to focus on, yes. This should be as close to the start of the title as possible, for better SEO.


    Hope this helps!
