Submission Criteria: What We’re Looking For
- Originality: All submissions must be original, unique content. We do not accept articles that have been published elsewhere. We don’t accept articles written by AI or AI-detected articles as search engines don’t prefer AI-written articles.
- Relevance: Content should align with our website’s theme (LivingSwag) and cater to our target audience. Explore our previous articles to understand our focus.
- SEO Best Practices: Write content with SEO in mind. Include relevant keywords (LSI and SEO Friendly Subheadings) naturally and ensure readability. Subheadings are encouraged for a structured layout.
Content Structure: The Power of Subheadings
- Engaging Title: Capture attention with a compelling title. Ensure it is both informative and intriguing, and optimized for relevant keywords.
- Subheadings: Break down your content into logical sections with descriptive subheadings that use relevant keywords. This enhances readability and SEO.
- Media Integration: Incorporate visuals (images, infographics, videos) where applicable. Original or properly attributed media is preferred and media should be optimized for size (ideally 1200×1200 pixels).
Article Length and Depth: Finding the Sweet Spot
- Ideal Length: Aim for articles between 1000 to 1500 words or plus. This ensures depth without overwhelming the reader.
- Comprehensive Insights: Provide valuable insights, backed by data or personal experience. Aim to be informative and solution-oriented.
SEO Guidelines: Boosting Visibility
- Keyword Integration: Strategically include relevant keywords throughout your article, but avoid keyword stuffing. Use tools like Google Keyword Planner for insights.
- Meta Tags: Suggest compelling meta tags and a meta description that is optimized for relevant keywords and entice users to click on your article in search results.
- Backlinks: You are allowed a maximum of two non-promotional backlinks to credible sources. No affiliate links or overly promotional content.
