@Heather This is one the instances where “it depends.” If you’re trying to educate and/or inform your reader, it’s best not to overdo the promotion. The content itself is your promotion. Generally, it should suffice to mention your business (and site hyperlink) with the author info at that end of the article. However, if you can smoothly link to your site’s product or service pages in the body of the article, by all means do so!

As for word count, again “it depends.” I know. General rule of thumb is 800 – 1,200 words, if the content calls for that length. If you find yourself challenged to make that length, rather than droll on for the sake of word count, just keep it on the short side or consider making it a blog. (We’ll be talking about blogging next Monday).

Hope this was helpful! Thanks for your comments and your questions!

I have a couple of general questions about articles.

1. Where and how often should you mention your business in the article?
2. What is a ball park figure for word count?
