Here are 5 quick tips to help with your article. The tips were posted on Ezine Articles Blog by Penny:
1. Refrain from using excessive keywords or keyphrase repetition as this provides for a poor user experience and your article does not read naturally.
2. Use correct spacing and formatting. Let your article word wrap naturally and place one vertical space between each paragraph break. A “Vertical Space” means to hit enter twice when at the end of a paragraph.
3. Write unique content. Do not spin your previously written articles into the same regurgitated content. You owe it to your readers to provide unique value in each one of your articles.
4. Make sure that your article body delivers on what is promised in the title. The most common mistake is when authors lead their readers away from the article to deliver what was promised in the title. This again provides poor user experience and is a huge trust violation.
5. Proofread your articles and look for spelling and grammar mistakes. If English is not your primary language, have your articles proofread by someone whose primary language is English prior to submission.

During the past few months, I have noticed a sales increase from our coupon affiliate partners. It's not surprising as I have also been looking for more ways to save. I then came across an article last week, "Coupon and Deal Sites Up in Down Economy" by Lisa Picarille. Here are some interesting information from the article: “As the nation’s economic woes continue, consumers have become increasingly careful about their purchasing decisions, with most now seeing online research as a normal part of their buying behavior, even for small purchases. Retailers that offer discounts, special promotions and product comparisons to engage – and keep – these consumers will have more success than those that continue to try striking emotional chords through traditional channels. These strategies, when combined with an understanding of the various online shopping personalities, can be effective in winning over new consumers and influencing hardcore shoppers.” The study went to state that, hardcore online shoppers, termed “weekly shoppers”, can be influenced by coupons and discounts, but so, too, can a new consumer segment PSB discovered called “recession shoppers” – those who will shop more online if their personal economic circumstances deteriorate. Specifically, the study found that: “68 percent of “recession shoppers” (and 79 percent of “weekly shoppers”) purchased something online they wouldn’t have otherwise because of a coupon or discount. 64 percent of “recession shoppers” (and 70 percent of “weekly shoppers”) said they purchased something from a particular online retailer they wouldn’t have otherwise because of a coupon or discount. In the newsletter I just sent out to our affiliate partners, I included these current deals:
