Review of real time stock quotes::Free Stock Ticker?







Review of real time stock quotes::Free Stock Ticker?








When               I               first               joined               Associated               Content,               I               couldn't               wait               to               see               my               clout               index               increase.

By               employing               the               following               techniques,               I'm               happy               to               report               that               my               clout               index               catapulted               from               1               to               4               in               only               two               short               weeks.

It               shot               to               5               a               couple               of               weeks               after               that.

If               you               just               joined               AC,               hopefully               these               tips               will               do               the               same               for               you.
               Create               great               titles…               
               …that               are               punchy               and               pithy.

Make               them               interesting               enough               for               readers               to               want               to               know               more.

You               clicked               on               this               article               because               it               was               something               pertinent               that               you               wanted               to               know               more               about,               right?
               If               your               headline               doesn't               lend               itself               to               succinctness,               at               least               make               the               first               3               or               4               words               count.

Depending               on               where               your               article's               headline               is               eventually               listed,               like               in               AC's               library               page,               the               ending               may               be               abbreviated               due               to               space               constraints.

So               the               beginning               may               be               the               only               portion               of               your               title               you               have               to               entice               readers               to               read               on.
               Walk               the               line               between               good               taste               and               tabloid-tacky               headlines,               though.

I               originally               titled               one               piece               "My               Night               with               Dave               Chappelle,"               knowing               it               would               intrigue               folks.
               By               the               time               it               made               it               to               press,               the               AC               editors               changed               it               to               "My               Night               with               Dave               Chappelle               on               Tour,"               which               was               really               more               appropriate.

After               all,               the               guy               does               have               a               wife               and               kids…
               Also,               make               sure               to               check               out               the               AC               101               page               for               other               great               articles               that               teach               CPs               how               to               write               with               search               engine               optimization               and               keyword               density               in               mind.
               Make               subheads               or               the               "Enter"               key               your               friend.


               Bolded               section               headers               break               up               an               article               into               readable               chunks               with               good               amounts               of               white               space,               and               are               more               visually               appealing.

I               don't               know               about               you,               but               my               eyes               go               loopy               at               pages               and               pages               of               unbroken               text,               unless               it               is               something               truly               fascinating               to               read.

If               not,               my               mind               says,               "Forget               it!"
               With               subheads,               the               reader               can               quickly               scan               over               subjects               the               piece               contains               and               pick               out               the               sections               they               want               to               read,               the               fervent               desire               being               all               of               them.

A               fully               read               and               thoroughly               enjoyed               article               is               more               likely               to               draw               great               comments,               five-star               votes,               e-mail               referrals               and               thus               more               page               views.
               Hit               the               links!


               As               you've               already               noticed,               I've               hyperlinked               and               referenced               a               few               of               my               other               articles               in               this               piece,               and               made               it               easy               for               readers               to               read               their               descriptions               and               click               on               them.
               Don't               go               crazy               with               links               to               the               point               where               your               whole               article               is               baby               blue,               but               at               least               capitalize               on               the               attention               one               piece               may               get               to               promote               your               others.
               Write               amazing               text.


               Despite               the               temptation               to               throw               together               10               so-so               articles               a               day               just               to               get               paid               more               money               right               away,               it's               better               to               focus               on               one               extremely               well-written               piece.
               Composing               high-quality               content               will               bode               better               for               you               in               the               long               run               in               terms               of               your               writing               career,               especially               if               you're               using               your               AC               pieces               to               show               editors               who               are               hiring               for               freelance               gigs.

You               only               want               your               name               to               be               associated               with               your               best               work,               not               pieces               filled               with               grammatical               and               factual               errors.
               I               spent               days               researching               and               writing               the               Dave               Chappelle               piece,               much               more               than               would               seem               warranted               for               only               10               bucks.

Lo               and               behold,               after               bookmarking               it               to               the               high               heavens               (see               more               on               bookmarking               below),               someone               picked               it               up               in               the               forum               section               of               Dave               Chappelle's               official               website               and               called               it               decent!
               Decent!

Woo               hoo!
               Days               of               blood,               sweat               and               tears               for               a               "decent"               review!

I               took               it,               though,               because               I               know               if               I               would've               thrown               together               some               ad               hoc               crap,               no               one               would               have               passed               it               around.
               Soon               thereafter               -               only               two               weeks               after               joining               AC               -               I               saw               my               clout               index               increase               to               four.

The               Chappelle               piece               even               made               the               "Editor               Picks"               page               on               AC,               along               with               the               fast               freebie               mentioned               next.

(Non               sequiturs               be               damned!)
               Write               a               few               fast               freebies…               
               …that               are               topical               and               short,               but               still               well-written               and               researched.

The               day               before               the               controversial               13th               season               of               'Survivor'               premiered,               I               wrote               a               short               piece               called               "Segregated               'Survivor'               -               Island               Life               in               Black               and               White               (and               Yellow               and               Red)"               and               selected               the               No               Payment/Non               Exclusive               option.
               (As               an               aside,               why               would               anyone               ever               choose               the               No               Payment/Exclusive               option?)
               Anyhoo,               lickety               split               the               'Survivor'               piece               was               published,               immediately               after               I               clicked               on               the               "save               content"               button.

It               was               scary               how               fast               that               thing               was               published,               but               thank               the               good               Lord               that               I               had               proofed               it               thoroughly.
               It's               the               same               technique               I               used               for               "Why               You               Should               Watch               Grey's               Anatomy's               Season               3               Premiere,"               which               landed               in               the               second               position               of               Google               News'               search               results               for               "Grey's               Anatomy"               and               quickly               helped               to               bump               my               clout               index               up               to               5.
               Bookmark               your               pieces               to               death.


               As               soon               as               you               get               that               "You've               been               published!"               email               in               your               inbox,               click               on               as               many               of               the               bookmarking               sites               listed               beneath               your               article               (and               more)               that               your               sleepy               eyes               will               let               you               muster,               letting               the               cyberworld               know               it's               out               there               to               behold.
               I               always               like               to               add               the               url               of               my               most               recent               piece               to               Google,               a               site               that               performs               "fresh               crawls"               at               interval               timings               that               they               don't               disclose.

But               it               must               be               pretty               often,               because               the               same               day               that               I               added               my               'Survivor'               piece               to               the               fray,               a               sociology               student               found               it               pretty               high               up               in               Google               News'               search               results.
               Play               tag!


               Even               before               you               get               published,               whilst               still               in               the               seemingly               lllooooonnnnngggg               waiting-to-be               published               phase,               go               to               the               "My               Content"               tab,               click               on               "e"               to               edit               your               piece,               and               click               on               the               "e"               to               edit               the               photo               you've               attached.
               Do               this               after               you've               found               and               attached               a               legal,               spankin'               good               image               from               some               site               like               Google               Images,               Free               Stock               Photos,               Geek               Philosopher,               Big               Foto,               First               Gov,               stock.xchng,               Big               Stock               Photo               or               Getty               Images               and               added               a               witty               caption.
               There's               a               "keywords"               spot               there               that               allows               you               to               enter               terms               that               folks               searching               for               images               might               stumble               across,               and               therefore               find               your               lovely               article               along               with               it.
               Enter               as               many               keywords               or               "tags"               that               are               applicable               and               allowed               when               tagging               both               your               images               on               AC               and               your               articles               when               bookmarking               them               at               other               sites.
               Some               places               only               allow               3               to               5               tags,               while               others               allow               as               many               as               possible.

Make               all               your               tags               count,               and               make               them               topical.
               For               example,               the               tags               for               my               "Top               Ten               Songs               by               James               Blunt"               piece               were:

               Technorati               also               has               a               top               searches               and               top               tags               list               developed               by               tracking               millions               of               blogs.

And               then               there               are               the               AOL               Hot               Searches,               where               you               can               click               on               the               "more"               arrow               to               see               the               top               20               hottest               searches,               and               their               change               from               the               previous               day.
               Lastly,               there's               dogpile               and               metaspy               ,               a               couple               of               sites               that               I               don't               use               all               that               often,               but               they               do               show               you               in               real               time               the               truly               varied               (and               sometimes               weirdly               horrifying)               stuff               people               are               searching               for.

It               might               be               worth               a               try               to               keep               dogpile               open               in               a               small               window               as               it               scrolls               and               check               for               consistent               themes               on               any               given               day.
               Examine               your               search               ranking               and               find               the               right               forums…               
               …where               users               are               most               likely               to               comment               on               your               piece.

As               soon               as               a               news               story               related               to               a               piece               you've               published               hits               the               front               page               of               AOL               or               Yahoo               or               any               other               prominent               news               provider's               page,               leave               a               comment               (if               they               offer               a               section               to               leave               comments)               that               directs               web-heads               to               your               published               piece.
               Set               up               Google               alerts               to               check               for               your               byline               (and/or               article               titles               if               your               byline               is               a               super-common               name),               so               that               you'll               get               emails               alerting               you               when               your               search               ranking               rises.
               For               example,               I               set               up               as-it-happens               alerts               on               "Paula               Neal               Mooney"               so               that               I               could               tell               how               effective               it               was               to               seed               my               stories               on               the               sites               listed               beneath               my               published               articles               in               AC.
               This               is               how               I               found               out               that               the               Dave               Chappelle               piece               had               been               mentioned               in               his               site's               forum.

It               helps               to               know               what's               worked               in               the               past,               so               that               you               can               duplicate               your               marketing               efforts               (which               you               should               spend               as               much               time               on               as               writing)               in               the               future.
               Use               your               AC               profile               to               market               your               articles.


               Personally,               I               tend               to               be               more               intrigued               by               (and               therefore               more               apt               to               click               on)               profiles               that               contain               the               writer's               photo,               but               I               understand               the               many               reasons               why               some               folks               don't               want               to               put               their               faces               out               there.
               Photo               or               not,               you               can               use               your               AC               profile               page               to               market               your               work               efficiently.

Use               all               three               Affiliation               URL               spots               to               lead               people               somewhere,               either               to               your               blog,               online               business,               or               other               articles.

My               third               affiliation               says               "Celebrity               Stuff,"               and               users               who               click               on               it               are               led               straight               to               my               latest               published               AC               article               about               a               celeb.
               I               even               use               the               "Interests"               field               to               list               the               exact               title               of               my               favorite               article               of               the               moment,               so               that               when               users               click               on               it,               they               are               taken               to               AC's               search               page,               with               my               piece               near               or               at               the               top.

It's               just               one               more               prominent               spot               to               place               your               articles'               headlines               for               those               who               don't               scroll               all               the               way               down               your               CP               page.
               Write               from               your               gut.


               This               is               really               the               numero               uno               tip               on               creating               content               that               people               want               to               read.

If               you're               passionate               about               a               subject,               it               will               translate               on               the               screen.

Sometimes               I               write               from               AC's               suggested               topics,               yet               other               times               I               go               in               a               completely               different               direction               and               pour               out               the               piece               that's               nagging               at               my               insides.
               Like               this               puppy               that               you're               reading               now,               which               made               my               fingers               fly               across               the               keyboards,               amazing               me               over               1,600               words               later.
               I               find               that               my               writing               flows               better               when               I'm               heeding               my               "Holy               Ghost-writer,"               and               I'm               more               apt               to               do               intensive               (okay,               obsessive!)               research               about               the               kinds               of               things               that               interest               me               the               most.

Joseph               Campbell               wasn't               lying               when               he               said               to               follow               your               bliss.

I               say               follow               it               all               the               way               to               the               bank!
               Write               to               suit               the               AC               editors.


               Make               everyone's               life               easier               by               creating               error-free               content               that               editors               don't               have               to               spend               much               time               correcting.
               I               also               notice               that               the               AC               folks               tend               to               favor               paying               for               service               pieces               like               "Ten               Legitimate               Ways               for               Stay-at-Home               Moms               to               Make               Their               Own               Money,"               "You               Cheated               -               Should               You               Confess?"               and               "40               Things               to               Do               Before               You               Turn               40"               as               opposed               to               self-aggrandizing               stuff.
               For               example,               my               Cleveland/Akron               Family               magazine               reprint,               "Are               Smart               Stay-at-Home               Moms               Wasting               Their               Brains?"               was               deemed               one               of               the               rejected               "op-ed               pieces               on               well               covered               or               general               topics"               with               "too               short               of               a               shelf-life"               by               AC,               so               I               published               it               for               free               just               to               get               the               page               views.
               Ironically,               it               ended               up               as               a               "Editor               Picks"               selection               on               AC's               home               page               for               days.
               Get               on               the               front               page               of               AC…               
               …by               not               only               writing               the               kind               of               compelling               text               that               will               land               you               there,               but               by               emailing               "an               image               of               yourself               that               is               at               least               300               pixels               wide               to               admin@associatedcontent.com,"               which,               according               to               AC's               blog,               will               give               you               "a               strong               chance               of               being               featured               on               our               front               page."
               Oh,               those               CMs               are               loving               me               right               about               now…but               to               redeem               myself               for               filling               up               their               email               box               with               put-me-on-the-front-page-please               pix               is               the               last               tip               to…
               …pitch               your               piece               and               move               on.


               Yes,               you've               spent               days               and               days               writing               your               brilliant               baby,               and               you               can't               wait               for               it               to               be               published.

Literally.
               In               your               impatience,               you               shoot               off               an               annoying               email               (I'm               embarrassed               to               say               I               know               this               from               firsthand               knowledge)               containing               the               text               of               your               piece               to               AC's               admin,               hoping               to               move               your               article               to               the               front               of               the               hopper.
               Calm               down.

Instead,               go               watch               some               TV,               take               a               walk,               or               talk               to               your               friends.

Eventually,               those               swamped               CMs               with               get               back               to               you               with               the               exciting               "Offer               from               Associated               Content,"               or               the               let-em-down               gently,               empathetically               titled               "Reply               from               Associated               Content."
               In               the               meantime,               doing               other               stuff               will               provide               you               with               the               inspiration               to               get               that               next               article               written               and               in               the               hopper               -               one               so               fascinating               that               folks               will               click               on               it               and               send               your               clout               index               into               the               stratosphere!
