The Graphical representation in an article always plays vital role.

If you found any article as a great referace, add it to your article and alert about it to the owner, it will also help in the development of a blogging relationship. Two or three outgoing links to the official website, authority websites or Wikipedia. Give all outgoing links with generic terms.
