it should not take more then 20 minutes to write an effective article.  You should be able to drastically shorten the time it takes you; you’re working too hard on it.

1. First of all how long are these articles? 300-500 words is fine.
2. You don’t need to cover tons of ideas in an article; you’re focusing on one key concept. 

Let’s say housebreaking a dog.

1. First paragraph - 

• emphasize with their pain - if you have a dog that isn’t housebroken you’re probably suffering with ruined carpets and floors and horrible smells, and it’s embarrassing to invite people over to your house, etc.

      2. Second paragraph -

• Give them hope - However, you don’t have to live with this forever - here are some simple steps that you can take to start housebreaking your pet right now.

      3. Third & fourth paragraph -

• offer solutions - use bullet points if you want - 

      4. Fifth paragraph -

• sum it up and have a resource box which sort of continues the conversation, saying “(Your name here) is an expert on dog training and offers many more tips and solutions at (your URL here). 

Much more than that is overkill. This shouldn’t take you more than half an hour, including research.

First of all I am fairly new to the “serious” side of Marketing Online. I understand that Article Marketing is part of “The Bum Marketing” method, and that it has the potential to be some of the best and most viable options that you need to know about. Ok, so lets go into what I was reading about today. According to some people like Bob Sommers and Josh Sommers over at recognizedexpert.com, Anchor Text Link in the Author’s box or Resource bix is key in getting ranked for that term. I am going to try some quick experiments with this and tell you what I am doing and what I find with my own results. I need some ideas of local things like “city+chinese food” or “city+clubs” or maybe”city+places to eat” I hope you get the idea. What I am thinking that I am going to do is right some articles and get a website of whatever I choose to get increased traffic. After all the is the point right.To get traffic to a certain url by linking in the authors box or resource box with targeted terms (the Same Terms that you want to be ranked in google)ok now for some resources after I went to did search in Google for the term Anchor Text Linking , This is the top 3 sites that gave me the best idea of what to do and to understand Anchor Text Linking and why it is so important.

1.  Where I Learned about it first Recognized 
2. 
3.  http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com It is a very basic site but takes it straight to the point. And that is all that ever needs to be done.

Don’t Forget to tell everyone your thoughts on this!
