Welcome back, feel free to comment!

separateOne of the recommended strategies in article marketing is to have the articles on your own site first before submitting it to the article directories.

Previously, if you check my blog… I place all my articles and thus, it kind of cluttered up my actual blog content. While the 2 can usually be linked together, there is a subtle difference between articles and blogs.

Articles tend to be informative and sometimes, quite formal.

Blog posts on the other hand, other than being informative, can be rather informal as well as providing larger attachments to files.

By formal and informal, I mean the use of specific words and terms that only the blog might understand due to its history or knowledge of the site.

Without separating the two, users might get confused as to what is really going on. So therefore, I made a separate entity on my site specifically only for articles – either written by me or outsourced.

How this benefits people is they get a much “tighter” feel as to what my blog can provide.

The reason why I did this was because I got some feedback from a few friends and they made a comment that while the content was good… it wasn’t really helping me. There was no central focus on what I was providing.

I realized that was true.

So articles I use for generating traffic will be placed on a separate section of this site (while still getting indexed as the point of origin) and the blog will have much better and stronger posts.
