Since Google has started giving strong signals for quality content in its ranking algorithms, all of us have started concentrating on providing quality content for our websites, weblogs and articles for submissions. However the contents we write have a lot of features in common, but also they also have lots of minute differences which need to be considered to make them differ from each other. To understand the similarities and differences clearly we can add some more information to this fact. If we talk about similarities in all the content types we can say that no matter where you are placing the content, it should be unique, plagiarism free, equipped with sufficient amount of keywords and it should be easy as well as informative.
Now lets talk about the differences; if you are writing an article for submission in an article directory how will it differ from the blog post and website content. Lets illustrate the difference between all.
The foremost difference between the articles of all three types is of word count. There is no limit of the word count you want to add in a website. It can be as less as 150 words of as big as 600 words; all depends on the nature of the website. In a blog post, the word count ranges from 200-250 to 500 words; however in a personal blog, there is no limit that how long or how short the owner wants to make it. It is important for the content to be quality and informative and if you want to make your blog even more attractive you can use media. An article is longer than a blog post and starts with a minimum word count of 500 words.
When anyone writes a blog post he is sharing his personal experience or news that he came across. It is less formal than an article. The blog post can be written in personal pronouns. Use of ‘I’ ‘me’ ‘we’ ‘us’ etc. can be done. If someone is sharing news he can write it as his personal experience and use same personal pronouns. When writing a website content use of ‘we’ and ‘us’ is widely done because it is the website owner who is writing about his own website.
While writing a submission article, one should be very careful. It should be written professionally with an informative tone, because the motive behind writing it is to provide thoroughly collected information. Their should be minimal or no usage of personal pronouns like ‘me’, ‘I’, ‘my’, ‘us’ etc. It should be written with the use of third person pronouns like, ‘their’, ‘them’, ‘they’. While writing an article, the writer should keep in mind that it is informative and it should not appear as if someone is writing about his experience or giving news. As news can be written for an article but then again it should be written with a professional touch.
