Great stuff..good point on shouting about your ‘expert status’, you have to leverage everything!

thanks for that

Nice post, I especially liked the tip about splitting the article and posting the second part on your blog I think I might just use that technique.

While on the topic of articles I just want to add a couple of my tips:

- I surf the most popular articles in a category to find topics to write about. I find a common theme or problem and because they are popular I know my articles will be a big hit

- If im having trouble with producing good content I use articles off eZine articles and post the authors resource box. This helps them out too, you gotta give back to the community too.

- Once you have posted the minimum amount of articles to achieve Expert Author status include this on your about page and marketing material. This is great for credibility.

Cool, I hope you find these useful.
