How to Write a Good Article Directory Summary

Article directory is a type of directory that accepts article submission. Article directory is different than the website directory. A website directory accepts URL submission from webmasters. Your goal is to attract the attention of the visitor to read your article. When your article has a lot of views, it will have a high conversion rate. People who are interested in your product will click through the link in your resource box to find out more information.

In order to captivate the visitors' attention, you must write a good summary. Most article directories allow you to include a summary for the article. The purpose of the article summary is to provide an abstract of the benefits of the article. The article summary should contain at least 2 - 5 sentences. You can use the first paragraph of the article as the article summary. However, it is best to write a unique summary to avoid duplicate problem. The article summary should not contain HTML tags. The article summary should not contain self promotion material. If the summary contains self promotion material, the editor will decline the article. The article will not be published until it you make the necessary corrections. The article summary should not contain contact information such as email address, website URL, telephone number, fax number and etc. You cannot publish the author name in the article summary.

When writing the article summary, make sure it is written in a way that interest the reader to find out more. If the article summary is plain, no one will want to read it. Example of a bad article summary is "Offers information about coupons". Example of a good article summary is "Coupons is a great way to help you save money when performing your shopping routine". The article summary should summarize at least two points in the article. There is a word count limit on the article summary. Your article summary should not exceed the specified word count. The ending sentence of the article summary must allow the reader to make out the point of the article. Example of an ending sentence includes "By using coupons, you will be able to save a lot money in the future."

You can include keywords in the article summary. You can use keyword suggestion tool to find keywords for your articles. You should aim for low competition keywords. If you aim for high competition keywords, your article will not rank on the search engine. Generally, you should include 2 - 3 keywords in the articles.

If you have no time to submit your article, you can always outsource it. You can hire article writing and article submission service from a SEO company. The article submission package in the SEO company includes article writing, summary, and submission. Purchasing an article submission package is cheaper than buying the article writing and article submission services separately. You should ask the SEO company all the questions you have regarding their article submission service including price, discount, delivery time, article directory submission list and detailed submission report.
