Chris Knight of EzineArticles.com published the Pain Avoidance article template that can help you speed up the creation of your next set of quality original articles by addressing this time-proven principle:

Pain problem solving can become a new angle in your article marketing, or you could “re-package” your old articles with this new template.

In his blog post, Chris provides The Pain Avoidance Template simple four-step layout and tells why this article template idea works.

Hot Trends reflects what people are searching for on Google today. With Hot Trends, you can see a snapshot of what’s on the public’s collective mind by viewing the fastest-rising searches for different points of time. You can see a list of today’s top 100 fastest-rising search queries in the U.S. You can also select a recent date in history to see what the top rising searches were and what the search activity looked like over the course of that day.

Rather than showing the most popular searches overall, which would always be generic terms like “weather,” Hot Trends highlights searches that have sudden surges in popularity. Google’s algorithm analyzes millions of web searches performed on their search engine and displays those searches that deviate the most from their historic traffic pattern. The algorithm also filters out spam and removes inappropriate material.

For each search, Hot Trends shows related searches, a search-volume graph, and the top cities. It also displays news, blog, and web results to help give context about why a search may be appearing on the Hot Trends list today. You can also choose a date in the past to see what the top Hot Trends for that date were.

Google updates Hot Trends hourly.

The first “piece” of the Income.com puzzle is BlogRush, “a free service that will help any blogger generate more traffic and readers for their blog.”

According to John Reese:

Using RSS technology and some of our own, we’ve built an amazing platform to help bloggers receive “mass distribution” for their content across the Internet. And our system doesn’t spam or abuse the Internet in anyway. And it doesn’t try and ‘game’ Google either.

This ‘process’ provides incredible LEVERAGE. You can have a blog that gets just 1 visitor a week, but if that next visitor happens to be someone with a blog that gets 25,000 visits a day, and they click your widget and sign up, you’ll start having your blog posts promoted over 25,000 TIMES A DAY. And that doesn’t even count all the potential “viral growth” that can then occur from that blog referring other blogs. It’s very, very powerful.

If you’ve ever had to write something for yourself, whether it’s a resume or a more in-depth piece for your company website, you’ll know how difficult it can be. You can spend hours staring at a blank screen, wondering exactly where to start. Thankfully, there are professionals around who can do this for you, and nowhere is this more apt than at the relatively young site, Need-An-Article.com.

Have you ever tried to find a freelance writer to complete your work for you? Then you know exactly how difficult it can be to find a good one. Not only does the writer have to know your exact needs, he or she has to be able to write the kind of article that you yourself would be happy to talk about – therefore, finding a good writer is paramount to any success an article is going to bring you.

This is where Need-An-Article.com is different from the majority of the other sites out there. Due to the way that Need-An-Article.com is set up, you can be sure that you’re only getting the very best, not one time but every time. This is due to the unique way that both clients and writers can communicate with each other, and the rigorous quality control that the owner Scott Foster instills on both sides.

The NAA Difference

Unlike the majority of other freelance writing sites, Need-An-Article.com puts equal emphasis on both client and writer. The benefit of this is that only the best writers are attracted to the site, while clients can relax, safe in the knowledge that their requested work is going to be written by someone who knows or can research the chosen subject well. So how does it all work, and how will it benefit you?

The NAA Writers

One of the key differences in the approach of Need-An-Article.com is the way that the writers on the site are chosen. Unlike other freelance sites, where pretty much anyone who knows how to use a computer can enroll – and if you’ve used any of these sites, you’ll know what that can mean regarding quality – NAA has a strict pre-membership writing test to take.

And since the writers are drawn from all walks of life, with various levels of experience in a whole host of topics, Need-An-Article.com can probably boast one of the most comprehensive knowledge bases around. Couple that with the ability to provide informative articles that are still entertaining, and you can see why this site is fast becoming one of the best on the market for article requests.

The Benefits to the Client

However, it’s not just with its writers that NAA excels (although this is a key strength). It’s also in the way that it’s been set up with the client in mind as well, to make sure that although it’s an automated service, it never feels like you’re left out of the loop.

For instance, the user interface that greets clients when they log in to their private members area is extremely streamlined and easy-to-use. The simple user page allows you to see the status of your article request through the whole submission process – when a writer has picked it up, when it’s been submitted to the proofreader, and when it’s ready to collect and use wherever you need it.

It also allows you to request one-time changes to an article, if you feel that the writer has missed an important piece of information, for instance. This kind of interactivity is pretty much unheard of with this kind of site, and helps Need-An-Article.com stand out from its competitors.

Need-An-Article.com – The Way Forward

Perhaps the best recommendation for Need-An-Article.com is the simple fact that it’s an ever-changing process. New features are being added all the time, such as the ability to request ebooks and sales copy.

By having a professional writer come up with unique content on these kind of articles, as opposed to relying on often-stale sounding private label ebooks and articles, you’ll have a much better chance of standing out from the crowd. And that’s got to be worth anybody’s time and money.

When you publish a post with a title like this:

“What You Can Do Immediately For Higher Rankings”,

Wordpress automatically assigns a long filename to your post, called a post slug:

/what-you-can-do-immediately-for-higher-rankings

SEO Slugs plugin strips common words like “what”, “you” or “can” out of your post slug to make it more search engine friendly. With SEO Slugs plugin activated, the slug for our example blog post would look like this:

/immediately-higher-rankings

The slug is generated on saving a post (so you get a chance to look at it before publishing, and change it), or on publish. It won’t overwrite an existing slug. You can force a new slug generation by deleting the existing one.

Installation: Unzip the downloaded file, and save seo-slugs.php file to the plugins folder of your blog, usually /wp-content/plugins.

Activation: Log into your Wordpress Admin, go to Plugins, find SEO Slugs plugin and click Activate.

Now, when editing a post, give it a title and press Save and Continue Editing. The SEO Slugs plugin will generate a slug. If you edit it, the plugin will honor your slug and won’t change it.

The 2006 version of this course (see picture above) contained over 1300+ pages of the most up-to-date Internet marketing strategies and tactics. There were two 8″ x 11″ full-color three ring binders containing 9 steps, broken down into 70 lessons with step-by-step instructions included for every promotion and strategy.

Derek Gehl recently announced on his blog that the 2007 edition will be launched this week:

We’ve researched and tested ALL of the latest marketing strategies — so we could find out EXACTLY what’s working and what’s not.

We revisited our time-tested strategies to make sure they’re still as effective now as they used to be. We looked at all of the hottest new tools and techniques that have cropped up since last year.

And then we analyzed and tested them to find out exactly which ones were worth adopting — and which ones were “here today, gone tomorrow” strategies that didn’t deserve our attention.

When we were finally done, we poured the results into one comprehensive, 1,000-page, step-by-step package: our freshly updated and expanded “Insider Secrets” course.

This course will certainly help you dramatically improve the performance of your online business. Don’t miss the launch - I’m sure, they will provide some sort of discount or a special offer. Go to the course website, subscribe to their newsletter and keep your eyes on your inboxes!
