How To Rewrite Articles

Since you plan to share your MoreNiche articles with other affiliates, it is important to make sure that your articles do not do anything to trip off duplicate content filters. If a search engine spots any signs of this kind of activity it could cause your website to lose its current ranking and fall in position.

If you would like more information on what complications duplicate content can cause, read our Duplicate Content guide. This guide can be found on our MoreNiche guide section, and can provide you with everything you need to know about duplicate content penalties, plus what you need to do to avoid it.

This is a serious matter and is one that can have a profound effect upon your website. That is why rewriting articles is a must if you wish to succeed in market affiliation. Every day search engines are growing smarter, so no matter your subtle changes, if you do not change enough of it, they WILL spot it.

Now you're probably thinking 'great, even more work', but this is not the case at all. If anything all your rewriting is improving the value of your articles; making them stronger and more focussed towards your individual product.

Saying all this, it is not always necessary to rewrite the entire article. It's true, and here is how:

Related Content

Before we move onto all the technicalities of how to rewrite your articles, here is one important idea that we think you’d be interested in – related content.

All related content actually means, is material that is related to the topic of your website. The idea can be loosely connected, or it can be a direct link. All you need to make sure of is that you include a clear connection that will directly benefit your consumers when they read it.

And it doesn’t have to be in the content either. It could be your choice of images, definitions (related to the subject), correlating facts and news. Your choice of facts and news in particular can form great side-notes to your website that surfers can click onto to learn more about your niche in general. Or alternatively they can be put directly into your article.

Take this scenario for example. Your website focuses on teaching surfers how to play the guitar. Well one of your key articles would be on this exact topic “learn guitar”, but there is more you can add to this article.

Consider this. If someone asked you to find 3 different things that could relate back to this initial subject what would you add? (please note: these would be treated as extras to your site that are different from your articles)

Here are a few ideas we can up with, that you too can incorporate within your own website:

• Videos this would offer people a visual image on how to ‘handle’ a guitar; how to perform and how to take care of it. It’s surprising how much faster people learn through a visual demonstration.
• Music sheets give them something extra to play and save them the cost of having to go to a shop
• Images similar to the videos, give them a visual guide and show them who they could be. In this case images of guitars and famous guitar players could prove quite inspiring to their cause.
• Facts figures like these can give them some perspective. From their first guitar to their first guitar band they will be able to see how it will work out
• Other guitar sites let them see what others are up to. Give them links to others sites on the web (feeder sites)
• Tips section advice and tips are always a good way to connect with surfers and make them feel more involved in your web site.
• Glossary of terms this is great if they are new to this niche, and are still learning the ropes. This glossary of terms can be that extra helping hand that will have them coming back to your web site.
• A guitar learning / playing FAQ imagine being able to get the answer to all your questions before you even ask. Your FAQ section can provide them with just that.
• Authors opinions or authors favourite players you can cover all the bases with this one, by providing them with a goal or the insight into their favourite players.
• Related links anything that can be related back to you - may it be one of your other related sites or even a contradictory article to create debate. Create links to increase your conversions and bring more interest back to your subject.
• Comparison charts or graphics surveys, graphs or any other form of helpful information can be pivotal to helping them make their decision. Another interesting way to get their attention is by placing your own poll. By asking the right questions and getting them to look closer at your own product/service, you could provide them with the influence needed to help them make a decision
• Short reviews you can essentially insert them straight into your article and make them a part of your featured product. You can do this by either adding a sponsor’s section or a monthly event of 'product of the month'. Spike their interest further
• Opt-In form for free newsletter or PDF guide give them an alternative way to receive information from you. A newsletter that can go directly into their inbox or an extra guide to peak their interest.
• Think outside the box! add a little imagination to your site. Something new and different that will make your search engine success even higher.

By adding any one of these to your web site, you could one, essentially be adding more worthy links to your niche, but two, also be creating great internal sources that can provide links to and from your articles.

Where to get this content?

Now here comes the important part – the content itself. But it doesn’t have to be as complicated as it sounds. Why? Because here is a little secret that you won’t hear very often: you don’t have to create the content yourself.

There are other ways to do it. Finding a copywriter who is specialised in this niche and who is also cheap, is one great way to take off the pressure.

The other alternative is to research on the internet and find it somewhere else.

This is not to say, you should copy other peoples work, absolutely not. This would be a direct breach of copyright, but there are methods and tools you can use to save you from a complete rewrite.

But first, before we go any further, it is important that you gain a clear understanding of what copyright entails. Understand this first and what will require permission, and you can gain an accurate grasp of what falls under ‘fair use’.

So what is ‘fair use’ we hear you ask? All it basically is, is a principle that allows you – within a reasonable limit - to use snippets of content from other websites. Now these snippets MUST be small as well as cited on your website.

Here is how:

Say you use a section from a medical website. You first need to denote on yours that this piece of content is not your property and is from another site. One sure way to make this denotation clear is to put it inside double-quotes. In this format it will stand out from the rest of your content, and will highlight your accompanying statement, that it is from somewhere else.

One other thing to note here, is that when we say ‘within reasonable limits’ we don’t mean you can still copy an article word for word. A small portion, say a few brief lines is fine. Why? Well, because they are small you can cite them easily without breaking copyright. But longer sections you should avoid.

All you need to remember is to be careful with how much you use. Otherwise you can use other sites without trouble.

Let us explain this a bit more clearly for you.

Let’s say you are interested in using their imagery. With these you need to be aware of copyright law. Now we know we have briefly discussed it above, but this is a complicated subject. A subject you have to be wary of, which is why we recommend you avoid doing it.

Their images may be good, but it is not worth the later hassle. So if you are interested in using their imagery, why not try using our range of product images.

They are royalty free and include a range of images that will make your web site look impressive: product pictures, before and after shots, clear screenshots – everything you could need to succeed in ranking your website.

One other key component that you will need to consider is related content. This is a must have if you want your website to be considered as more than a cookie-cutter site, but the real credible deal. And to achieve it you first need to make sure that your web site acts like a magnet; with the draw and energy to make your target audience interested.

One mistake many online marketers make is trying to make their website appear as though it is all things, to all people. This is too detracting and diverse. In their eyes, you will be like everyone else.

Instead you need to be unique and remarkable in such a way that their attention is drawn and their focus is all on you and your product website.

So how do you achieve this impact? One great way is to provide your visitors with amazing value. In other words, an incentive just too good to ignore.

And the impact of this approach can be impressive. Why? Well here are 3 reasons why it can improve your website:

• Get you more links (and in turn make it easier for you to receive more links in return)
• Get you more sales (the outcome is simple. If more people come to your web site, you will have a greater opportunity to gain more sales)
• Get you more visitors from search engines (Now we’ve already mentioned to you the possibilities of using different language versions of the same article but what about the use of alternate mediums? Say pictures?

And this is just from your use of related content. Incorporate any one of these tools or methods to your website and they can work to help increase your sites reputability.

So with this mind, here are two different methods of rewriting that too can have a profound impact upon your websites ranking.

Quick Rewrites

The title says it all. They are meant to be brief and written quickly. In fact the best re-writes should only take you a couple of minutes. Interested in finding out how this is possible? Take a look below, and try to see if you can introduce this into your content:

• Rewrite the headline they are your opener, and are usually the first thing a surfer will see when they are searching the web, so it is important to avoid duplicate content within your headlines.
• Add related content to your article now you already know a bit about this one. All you need to do is add an image, include some extra information or create links to useful, related sites to change your code and make the piece look different.
• Rewrite the first paragraph think of your favourite book. In most cases we can always remember the first opening paragraph. The first incentive that makes us want to read more. It is the same theory here. Any signs of duplication and your surfer will look the other way.
  Instead add some spice and flavour to your opening. Offer a clear voice to your own article version.
• Rewrite the last paragraph now we all remember the conclusion. After all it is usually a summation of the article and what it involved. So try to re-introduce your own voice and add your products character to the end. Give your surfers something different to remember.

Doing each of these should only take you a couple of minutes, and once done, even you’ll think you are reading something different.

And here's another secret... All of this can be made easier simply by remembering your ‘related content’ research and including all the key factors you want mentioned.

For this reason alone, make sure you do all your research first. That a way you will have a firm grasp in your mind of what you want to achieve, and it will make all these re-writes even easier.

Saying all this, the success of these kinds of re-writes, can become less reliable on long term projects.

That is why we recommend that when you do, do a rewrite, you do it both carefully and wisely. Try including additional lines into sections you haven’t rewritten – say within the main body of your content.

These intrusions will break up the content further and will expand the code, making it appear as though it is part of a larger piece.

10 Step Guide To Article Rewriting

With any article you have found during your research, it would be more ideal if you rewrote the whole thing. We know, this may feel more time consuming but it would be of a stronger benefit to your website to do it now, and not later on in the future.

And it is not as complicated as you might think. Let us explain.

Traditionally, if you have prepared your related content first, rewriting the rest should only take you about 10 minutes. Not so long is it? But the benefits are incredible.

So how can you ensure a fast turn over whilst you are re-writing articles? Simple. By following this step by step guide.

Step 1: Read the Article

We know this may sound obvious, but what we are suggesting is more than skimming over it. You need to read and understand the article, so that when you come to rewriting, you will have your own personal grasp on what it is about. Plus with this personal understanding, your own writing voice will be able to come through.

Step 2: Change the Headline

Same as in the quick re-write, it is important to change the title. One clever way to do this is to make sure your keywords come first. If your keywords already exist within the title, then great, but try to remember to change your headline enough so that it looks different but still offers the same benefit.

Long titles are a no, no. We know how tempting it can be to expand upon the original title, but making it longer will only weaken its impact and your surfer’s response.

And the last thing they want to see is a title that looks like an essay. No way. They want a title, that is short, snappy and to the point.

Your best chance of achieving this is through incorporating a related keyword. A word or phrase that will provide a clear and direct link back to your website, and your article. Take for example this scenario. You are rewriting an article for weight loss pill x. Within the headline try to include a mention of 'health' or 'weight loss'. These keywords are popular, and will appear in many surfers search engine references.

Remember: you may be rewriting the headline, but it needs to make sense. So if you plan to add keywords, make sure they fit.

Step 3: Add a subheading

A part from providing convenient breaks within the bulk of your text, sub-headings (if used correctly) can give the article an extra focus, whilst plugging more relevant information to the reader.

The best sub-headings are short, with 1 or 2 keywords within them to give surfers a quick summation of the following section. Get the relevancy right, and you can enable surfers to find the sections they want without having to read the whole article.

Step 4: Rewrite the introduction paragraph

Similar again to what we mentioned in the quick re-write section, it is important that you completely re-write your introductory paragraph. And we don't mean just changing it here or there. We mean the whole thing. Do this and surfers will be able to see your own personal view on the article that is about to proceed.

Step 5: Create headings in your articles

Now depending on the length of your article, you shouldn’t break the article up too much. You need to find the right balance and the best places to make it look authentic and intentional.

We recommend using 2 or 3. Simply give each a heading that perfectly surmises the following section, and make sure you rewrite the opening few lines to make them match you headline.

Another useful thing about introducing headers to your article is its ability to connect several articles together.

Step 6: Create a list(s) in the middle

To help avoid writing long trains of content, try to spice up your article by splitting 1 or 2 paragraph into a list. Now these can’t be just any 2 paragraphs. They need to contain something that will give the article extra value–features: a list of symptoms, a checklist for them to follow... you get the picture. It needs to be something worth listing.

Step 7: Rewrite the last paragraph

Okay, you’re nearly finished. All you’ve got left to do is the last 2 paragraphs. Same as with the introduction, it is important to rewrite them and introduce your own flair. Simply follow the same tips we mentioned above, use keywords and phrases, and make sure you stay on topic, whilst providing your surfer with a quick summary of your article.

Step 8: Create a call to action at the end of the article

If you are planning to submit your articles to an article directory, you need to remember that your intention behind it is ‘two-fold’. One, you main reason behind this is to increase readership and drive move readers to your site. Two, you are using your articles to increase your web sites ranking within targeted search engines such as Google.

Whatever the reason, it is good to include at the end of your article a link to further information – about the author and his/her website as well as giving readers a direct link back to it.

Take this example:

John Adams is a recognised expert from Nottingham
To read more about healthy products visit www.moreniche.com

In other words, give a CTA and a reason for them to want to click through.

Step 9: Add links

Within one page/article you have got the potential to link back to other sections in your website: other articles, categories, contacts etc.

And creating these links are incredibly simple. All you need to do is use keywords in your article, so that when your article is picked up by the search engines (in the article directory), they see will all these keyword links and will count them as backlinks to your internal pages.

Increasing your ranking.

Step 10: Review

And last and by no means least, review your article. Check over your re-write and ask yourself this – is your headline okay? Does the subhead make sense and fit within the flow of the article? Does your voice work? Is it conversational, personal and original?

And then step back and look at the article as a whole. Is there anything missing? Is everything formatted correctly: links, images, your bullets? And lastly is the article consistent in design: font, alignment and image rotation.

By looking at your article with a fresh pair of eyes, you will be able to spot any possible changes.
