Kevin's email about client info on articles


Hi Everyone, Please acknowledge that you have read this by entering a comment... thanks! :)

I've been sending him articles (that still have the contact info in them)... he has been taking it out.. so if you spin an article and you see contact info, just take it out please. 

Kevin sent me an email and asked that I post it, so here it is:

The only "client information" you need to take out of the ones that focused on the client is phone numbers and web addresses and stuff. See, the idea is to post these articles out on the web, at a place like factoidz...with a link back to their client's website. These "backlinks" make the clients site more "valuable" according to Google bots. So, if Factoidz wouldn't let you post it because it was too "promotional" -similarly, EZ Articles wouldn't let you post it even, then this is not the type of content our client wants. Now, they have their sites where they know they will get even more backlink goodness out of posting there, so I'm sure that in the future, like the next round we get for this batch of clients (remember if we pull this off, this same job will come around every 2 months) that if we just change it up, they will be fine with that first batch being promotional.
I just took the client info out of a couple you sent, before I shipped them to Billy. If you see phone numbers or whatever, just take them out. Don't worry about the little bit of word count it takes away.

P.S. Please post this on the BCS blog

  1. what about the client name in the unique article, isn't that too promotional now?

  2. I read in another email from Billy that future articles should have no mention of the name to just focus on the keywords. The trouble with lots of our articles is that it is just a continuation of the about us.. it's all about them instead of the keywords.

    Not much we can do now with this batch... but for future articles for this client, we will learn how he wants them, hopefully.

    Our problem here is that they were all written before we knew he was not happy with the way we were doing them.

  3. No big deal either, because we will be diluting what's out there on the Internet with more content for the same companies.

  4. Yeh the problem seems to be not thant we "did it wrong" but that Billy didn't give all the info in the begining.

  5. In his defense, I admit that he recommended that I get "The Best Spinner" I could have got all the info earlier there, right from the horses mouth.

  6. The about us section can and will contain the client info. The unique article will be a generic article based on the keywords we are given. Got that. I was doing both as a promotional thing for the client much like when I write blog stuff for my brother in law. I will keep this in mind for future work.
