Incredibly Bad Articles Will Kill Your CredibilityDean Phillips Ive noticed a disturbing trend recently of articles suggesting that people write articles to send traffic to their websites, and enhance their credibility. In theory, the more articles you write, the more traffic youll receive, the more credibility youll have, the more sales youll make. Its an interesting theory. However, what those articles fail to mention is that your writing needs to be of a certain quality. And quite frankly, Im seeing a proliferation of poorly written--or just plain bad articles appearing across the Internet! Unfortunately, there are some publishers out there who will publish just about anything. Thats the good news. The bad news is, those publishers dont have the quality websites or the huge traffic numbers, so your article probably wont be seen by too many people anyway. So, in essence, youre really wasting your time writing garbage, because youre not going to reap the benefits that go along with writing quality content. Remember this saying, "garbage in, garbage out!" To get published in the top ezines and on the top websites--the ones with mega traffic, you need to have your act together. Publishers of top ezines and websites arent stupid, and so desperate for content that theyll just publish anything thats submitted to them. Their credibility is at stake everytime they publish. They have standards and their readers have come to expect a certain degree of excellence from them. After all, how do you think they became top websites and ezines in the first place Now, Ill be the first to admit, Im no Woodward or Bernstein. However, I take great care to make sure that my articles are well written, lucid and of high quality. Ive been fortunate enough to have my articles published by some of the top websites and ezines on the Internet. These publishers arent publishing my articles because they like me or think Im a nice guy. They publish my articles because they feel my content will enhance their website or ezine. And contrary to what you may have read, everyone cant write articles--at least not good ones. You have to be honest enough with yourself to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. If you know writing articles isnt one of your strengths, dont continue to write anyway. When you submit poorly written articles to publishers, you not only waste their valuable time, you also make yourself look bad in the process. Writing articles is hard work, and if you want to write articles and youre not good at it, then you need to work hard to improve and develop your writing skills. If youre not willing to put in the work thats required yourself, then at the very least, hire a competent ghost writer to write your articles for you.
