Important things to know and do while posting your article

Of the few important things to properly finish off a post in TeenPublish besides the title and your post content, you need to be aware of the following and enter them accordingly. The numbers associate with the image below:

1) Your permalink – if this option is enabled for you, you may change this or just leave it default as it’s calculated based off of your title. If you decided to change this, please keep it relevant to your article post. This is going to be your URL so it’s important to stay relevant.

2) Your Simple Tags – Easy to add tags that you can think of on your own. I personally like using the Automated Tagger (Shown below), which will fetch tags according to the content of your article based off of it’s material. It’s a great way if you are lazy of thinking up good tags. Remember, tags and categories are ways to separate your content in relation to other’s content.

3) Post Tags – another way to add new tags that are not necessary related to your post. I personally like using Simple Tags, and automatic Tagger if I can’t think of tags.

4) Categories – Pick and choose the correct categories. This is important as well, if the option for adding a new category is there, then you may do so as well (depending on your user status).

5) Your Excerpt – This exercpt is what’s going to show up in the Description meta for search engines for SEO. In other words, for people using certain search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, etc when searching for your page, the description and title is what’s going to catch their eye. The excerpt (also Description box below) is what will do that and needs to be written. For instance, in the image above, the excerpt is horrible. I like to make good practice of keeping a nice excerpt which usually can consist of a summary of the article, or a copy and paste of your premise (I usually make my first paragraphs the premise, attention-grabber of the article). Remember, in below’s image the Description box does the same thing, but I would rather prefer that you write the description in the Excerpt box. You can keep the below Description box blank then.

Choosing Auto Tagging

Auto Tagging is a great way to create and/or use tags if you can’t think of them yourself. I use this often. The following numbers associate with the image below:

1) Click Tags – These are tags that are/have been used on TeenPublish. You can use these as well as Suggested Tags as well, I like using a combination of both. Just click the ones you want to use and they are added in the Simple Tags area.

2) Suggested Tags – from Local, Yahoo, and Tag The Net. Yahoo and Tag the Net have great tags which you can use. I recommend mixing and matching these as well into your tags that you use. The way these tags are formed is that they look at your article’s content and formulate the tags accordingly.

3) All in One SEO Pack – If you see this box, I like keeping these blank if you make sure that you have filled in your Excerpt from up above. Excerpt and Description are same thing. Please KEEP Keywords and Title, and Description (if you have placed an Excerpt above, which I recommend) EMPTY! The Title is what you have placed as the Title way up above in the beginning of your post page, and the Keywords are basically a combination of your tags and categories.

Therefore I cannot stress enough, please understand these few rules, as they are important and easy. Remember, usage of correct tags and categories will not only create more viewers for your article, but it will make sense as well and is good practice! Don’t forget to use Heading 3’s for your main Headings as well!
