Article Writing Tips Review Of The Software Called DupeFreePro.
DupeFreePro is a simple software that is a breeze to use, just enter an article in it on both sides and start to rewrite the new one.
After you have re-written 20% of the article by changing a few words in each sentence and maybe adding a few thoughts of your own, click the "compare" button and the software compares the new one and old one for duplicate content with a selection of down to 3 word phrases.
I usually do 5 word phrases as 3 word phrases is too small, too hard to re-write that far. The software will show you with highlighting the similarity between the two.
Just look for easy words to replace in the 5 word phrase and you are set to go. DupeFreePro is not a spinner, spinners change the nouns, pronouns, verbs and adverbs to a similar word but no matter what, the article will read poorly.
With DupeFreePro you are the one changing the words so that not a single sentence is duplicate and by doing it yourself it will also READ very well!
Using the feature where it will check the top 3 search engines with the text you highlight and come back with any duplicate results is a guarantee that your article will be an original. Google has said they will check for duplicate content down to the sentence.
There are many more features with this software, it's hard to beleive these guys are GIVING IT AWAY!!! Well not that hard to beleive, Micheal And Steven are a couple straight up guys. I have received many tips for my business through their newsletters
With DupeFreePro you will have unique articles with little time wrapped up. BTW, I will give a link here for DupeFreePro and it's a straight link, no affiliate link or anything, I'll not make a dime if you click the link and go to DupeFreePro!!!!(mostly because the software is FREE !!!)
Untill the next post,
Keep typin'

Are you creating your own duplicate content?
This was sent to me from Michael & Steven Grzywacz, creators of DupeFreePro, a duplicate content prevention software. This is an excellent read.
Sounds crazy but it's possible you might be creating duplicates of your own content without even knowing it.
If the Search Engines see duplicates of your pages they automatically choose which page to rank and shove the rest in to their supplemental index (the black hole of Search Engine traffic).
It's important you understand how to avoid duplicating your own content so that you can stay in control of which of your pages rank in the Search Engines.
The two main possible causes for this are:
1) Duplicate Domain URL's2) Internal Duplicates
--------------------------------------------------Duplicate Domain URL's--------------------------------------------------
The Search Engines view all the following URL's as *separate* pages even though they all actually point to the same page...
http://yourdomain.com
http://yourdomain.com/
http://yourdomain.com/index.html
http://www.yourdomain.com
http://www.yourdomain.com/
http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html
If you (or others) are linking to your site using a variety of these different URL's you'll not only be diluting PR (Page Rank) on your site but you also stand the chance of having your content labelled as duplicate.
At the time of writing Google is known to be aware of this issue and are working to solve it. However, I urge you to not leave it to fate. Take control of the situation as soon as you can.
Fortunately the work around is very simple and only involves a small code to be placed in to your htaccess file on your webserver (this works on Apache servers only).
Jason Katzenback has created a video tutorial on the PortalFeeder Blog showing the code you need and how to use it. Check it out here:

--------------------------------------------------Internal Duplicates--------------------------------------------------
Are you 100% certain you do not have duplicates of your own content within your own sites?
If you are using one of the popular free content management systems (i.e. WordPress) your site might already be suffering from this.
For example, WordPress the popular Blog management system, automatically creates archive and category pages on your Blog. The default settings of WordPress result in these archive and category pages containing duplicates of the exact same posts appearing elsewhere in your Blog.
When Google finds all the multiple versions of your post their bot tries to determine which page to rank and places all the rest in to the supplemental index.
This might not sound like a major problem because one way or another your content it still getting ranked but if it is left up to the Search Engine bots you may not get the page *you* want to rank.
Some content management systems create other kinds of internal duplicates such as different formats of the same page (i.e. PDF, text, word doc).
Perform the following Google search if you want to see how many pages your website has in the supplemental index:
site:www.yourdomain.com ***-view
(make sure you replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name)
Any pages listed from this search will be pages of your website that Google has choose to move to their supplemental index. (You'll see the green text 'Supplemental Result' under each result).
Pages in the supplemental index are known to hardly ever get traffic if at all. This is until they move out of the supplemental index, however, many report this as hard to achieve.
The work around for this issue is to tell the Search Engine spiders to ignore specific locations on your website. This will enable you to control which pages will be indexed and ranked.
You can do this by adding the following code to a 'robots.txt' file at the root of your website:
User-agent:*Disallow: /example/directory/Disallow: /another/example/directory/Disallow: /one/more/example/directory/
The first part 'User-agent:*' causes the following statements to apply to all search engine bots that read the robots.txt file.
The 'Disallow: /.../' lines are where you list each directory location on your webserver that you want the Search Engine bots to ignore (i.e. NOT index).
So in our above example we are telling all search engine bots to*not* index any webpage or indexable file located in the three stated directory locations on our website.
Doing this correctly can really help you control which pages are chosen by the SE's to rank in their results.
If you're not sure how all this works please do take the time to understand the robots.txt properly before you implement it. Search Google for info on robots.txt and also check out the Wikipedia pagebelow:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt
If you are putting in all the effort required to make sure your content is unique you really don't want to fall over at this last hurdle.
I hope if you weren't aware of these potential pitfalls before that you take the simple action necessary to ensure you don't fall victim to self-imposed duplicate content.
Talk soon,

How To Write An Article That Will Get Published By Someone Other Than Your Mother
When writing articles and content, be sure to haveyour readers "interest" in mind.
Research has proved that the majority of Internet readers are likely to breeze over the content to find the specific information they are searching for and are rarely reading the page from top to bottom.
You should structure good titles, many subtitles, and use bullet points to assist your readers while they scan your page.
Many people simply scan a pages subtitles to quickly determine whether they want to continue reading the article or go on to another page. Surfers prefer a site laid out like this so it's easier to use, therefore encouraging them to return to your site regularly in search of more content.
The more often your readers come back, the more chances you will have for them to access other affiliate links, adsense ads and pay per lead advertisements.
It is very important to create your articles in a structured manor, or have articles written this way, so your site visitors will not leave your page screaming in pain.
Properly written articles should keep them around long enough to click on something or at least capture their interest long enough for them to understand your brilliance!
Writing your articles in the organized manor as recommended will entertain and encourage your visitors to return thus enabling the full monetization of yoursite.
Well written content will get some viral action, or word of mouth action. People tell other people about great sites. You know this, I am sure you have emailed at least one person with a web address about something you thought was great.
If your articles and content are borrowed, poorly structured, rambling, or not quite on topic, bye, bye viral! It will really put a smile on your face when you browse around your favorite social bookmarking site and see that others have bookmarked YOUR site as a "great site".
I know I was elated when I found three postings of my site in Del.icio.us and I wasn't the one that posted them!
Write every article like you mean it, put some heart and soul into it. A little humor helps too. Don't makeyour content read as if it were a service manual! The most popular sites on the web didn't reach that status by being poorly written or boring. Liven up the party a little. Show some enthusiasm.
If you have absolutely no passion for the subject you are writing the articles for.....it will show. To avoid this I suggest hiring a professional to write your articles and content for you. Ghostwriters get anywhere from $15-$30 per 500-700 word article.
Hint, hire out multiple articles at once to get a better price provided you have worked with the ghostwriter before and like their writing style.
Google has decided that duplicate content will be measured down to the sentence so at all costs avoid duplicate content like the plaque. If you are using an article writing software that goes out on the web and collects sentences from many different articles, you will still have to change a few words in every sentence in order to avoid duplicate content.
In conclusion, write it with passion, keep it upbeatand enthusiastic, KNOW YOUR SUBJECT or hire someone to do your article writing for you. Use free articles from directories for ideas, research or to compliment your level of expertise. Get a free duplicate content checker like dupefreepro.com has to make sure your articles have not been used before and you will receive the rewards of free search engine traffic.
