Article Alley has begun to perform well again, traffic is now growing each and every month and while we are a long long way short of our heady days back in 2010 the future is looking positive.  The following is a guide to how we prefer content to be presented, our testing has shown that this works well.

Uniqueness

Please please remember all contents has to be 100% unique, we don’t accept content that appears anywhere else, everything has to be unique.

Length

First off Length articles need to be at least 1,000 words and ideally in the range 1,800 – 3,000 studies have shown that long form articles like this perform the best, get the most traffic and have the best user metrics, which are all important for Google these days.  This will shortly become a mandatory requirement and the site will reject articles shorter than this.

Pictures

Please add free from copywrite pictures we recemmend pixabay.com which has royalty free images, there are tougher and tougher penalties for breach of copywrite these days so please respect the work of others.

Videos

Make good use of videos ideally embedded into the body of your articles, these bring an article to life and also further improve the user experience through better metrics

Links

Its not all about links, ideally we like to see links to external sites not in every article you submit, and if you include a link please also include a link to an authority site in your niche, such as wikipedia.

Thanks so much for all your hard work and your great articles we enjoy reading them all, and keep them coming!
