A properly written, humorous, topical, technical or informative article is an important ingredient to the usefulness of the Internet. The Internet is but a Library at your fingertips and is only as good as the quality of content published to it. The old saying goes: "garbage in, garbage out!" With this in mind, proper research, good article writing skills, and useful content to the reader will make this whole Internet endeavor worthwhile.

Phase III contains the current and most commonly used format for writing articles. In the outline above, article writing is generally divided into five parts containing the Title, Introduction, Body, Conclusion and Resource Box.

Part 1 is an Article Title that should state in clear and interesting language what the article is about. An article title must also be topical to the content of the article, grab the reader's attention and contain the main keyword(s) for search engine placement.

Part 2 of Article Writing is the Introduction. The first sentence of your article serves basically the same purpose as your title in the sense that it must grab the reader's attention or imagination, so be creative with it. For example you can pose a question, state a fact or show irony, but most important is to be creative. Readers will usually read the first 3 to 5 lines of the article before determining what the article is about so spend the most time refining the article introduction.

Part 3 contains the Article Body where you present the information in a clear, concise and logical manner. For the reader this is the meat and potatoes of the essay and where the most information is gleaned. The body in effect supports the introduction and conclusion with facts, information, discussion or analysis.

Part 4 concludes your article. An Article Conclusion summarizes the information presented before it and draws a conclusion about the article. In the outline shown above, you will see that this is where you tell the reader what you told them. In fact the conclusion is a writing summary of an article. Basically you are tying all your thoughts together.

Part 5 is the Resource Box. This is where you toot your horn, but more importantly, provide links that direct people to areas on the Internet that you want them to go. Relevancy of the article's content, if you are linking to your Website, is very important here. Submitting an article about Home Improvement and linking it to a website where you sell Trinkets is a huge error. At some point down the road I will produce articles that explain the intelligent way to lin
