Knowgenie.com is the newest online article magazine. The articles on knowgenie.com are called knowbits. Each knowbit can be found either by searching directly, using the tag search, or thumbing through the online magazine’s database.

Writing a good article is key to getting the most article views, and the most clicks through to your service or website. But you, of course, already knew that. The real secret to generating traffic from knowgenie is by getting your article featured either in the Headline area or the Featured section.

These are two sections on the homepage that “stand out”. In the old newspaper style, we’d call these stories “Above the fold”, and they are by far the most coveted places to be in.

So how do you get your articles featured on knowgenie? Here are a few tips to improve your chances.

1.  Write a good, relevant article! Articles that are seasonally relevant, or relevant to current times will always get preferential treatment from Knowgenie. A good tip would be to find out whats hot right now (or being searched on) in Google or MSN or Yahoo. Then, write a good informative article about the subject. Make sure you include keywords in your title – and of course keep it relevant in a DIY or knowbit way. For example, let’s say the hottest search right now is on Britney Spears. You could write an article about how to get Britney’s hair, how to look like Britney, how to sing like her, etc. Its all about putting a spin on the hot searches. Likewise, if it is summer, you could write an article on fun summer activities for single adults, or for families, etc.

2.  Make the title slightly provocative. The main thing you want to do is get people to click through to your article and see your URL / Website. Look at knowgenie right now and check out the headline article for an example.

3.  Be sure to include no more than 2 links – the links should be included at the bottom of the article. For maximum effectiveness, I recommend anchoring them to keywords that describe your site.

4.  Don’t stuff the article with keywords! The article will be rejected.

5.  Don’t email knowgenie and ask for your article to be promoted to the headline or featured slots. Let the article take care of it for you. If you write a good, relevant article it will happen naturally.

6.  Knowgenie gives preferential treatment to authors who had their articles featured previously – so once you get an article featured, the next one you submit has a better than average chance of making it to a top spot.

Hidden Bonus Tip: The Headline and Featured stories on knowgenie remain the same until another story comes along that “bumps” them from the top space! So, it is possible for you or your stories to monopolize all the top slots for days or weeks on end!
