What we’re trying to prevent is overzealous authors posting EzineArticles.com URLs splatted all over the place… leading some sites to think we are spammers, when in fact, we are not.

When in doubt, go conservative or only promote to your client or permission-based membership.

Right now we’re unable to get relevant EzineArticles posted on Digg because of overzealous members who spammed them in the past. :(

Thanks!

Christina, I find the best way to use keyword tools is to use them to figure out what kind of information my audience is trying to find. Why are they using those particular keywords? What do they need to know?

I always do keyword research for my articles and I keep some index cards with lists of the ones I think will be most fruitful for articles, but once I start writing I try not to worry about the key words too much. I’ll make sure the main ones are in my title, but the article body takes care of itself. If I’m answering the question that the searcher was looking for in the first place, then they should find my article.

Sometimes I bomb out, but most of the time it works very well.
