Use Of Bolding In Online Articles
When writing articles Online many people like to use a lot of Bolding of their words and phrases to give it emphasis, of course too much of this makes the article look juvenile and ridiculous. And so I wish to discuss the very essence of the subject of Bolding and over bolding and what rules should or should not be enforced on an Online Article Website.
We can use metaphors, philosophy, analogies, allegories, and consider the cause and effect of policies governing the “over use” or borderline over use of “bold” tags at Online Article Submission Sites. Still, we must face facts, too much bolding makes a page on the Internet look like a giant sales letter instead of an article and that quite frankly ruins it. Below are some things you should consider when developing Best Management Practices in writing your own articles:
1 Limited Use of Bolding is “okay” in online articles, but should be used with caution.
2 Over use of Bolding hurts the writer’s credibility, perhaps their search engine rankings, other authors on this site and the looks tacky.
3 Bolding works best in “Training Manuals” and “Non-fiction eBooks” as well as sales letters, which Online Articles are not.
4 Too much bolding causes will cause a Internet reader to most likely “click out” and thus does not serve the purpose of the online article author.
5 Strict Rules are not wise for Online Article Submission sites, but a wise author ought to heed the warning and not over use “Bolding” and authors must use discretion. If not their articles at least some article websites might be refused, as they should be.
6 Simplicity in rules should be favored, yet some rules must be made, even if unspoken in the form of guidance. There are many reasons why rules are made and why humans resist rules, the Bolding rule ought to be made with a threshold and author’s themselves need to use their best judgment and not blow it for themselves or cause the articles to be to kicked back.
I think that sums up this issue with use of Bolding in online articles. Keep writing articles and watch
