Get your leapfrogged article approved the fast and easy way! Change your article to make it better, so that a Helium rater will allow your leapfrog to go through. Make your article shorter, give it major punch, a sense of humor, have fun writing it, and appeal to the Internet viewer.

That's how you get your leapfrog approved. And here are more helpful tips on how to  get your leapfrog approved:

Don't  take the lazy man's way out. You may have to rewrite the entire article. When the article is dull, uninformative, and poorly written, a rewrite is what is needed. Hey, if you rewrite the entire article, it will take longer, but it will be worth it in the rating game end .When you rewrite an article, called leapfrogging at Helium,  suddenly all that poor grammar, and spelling errors surface. This way, you can correct the errors  made, and come out with a stronger, better written article.

You will also find many outdated pieces of information in your older articles. You can now update the information and take out the old stuff. By the way, while writing for the Internet, try not to date the article. Don't put actual dates in such as the year, month, or time of year. Only mention time of year if the article is seasonal.Once the article reaches the Internet, it has the possibility of being on the Internet for decades.

Get your leapfrogged article approved by making the opening paragraph stronger. Give it necessary punch to bring in the viewer. Make that first line count. Be creative, and really think about what you want your article to be about. The opening paragraph will win over the reader, or bore the reader to skimming your article. When it is truly dull, the viewer will skip to the next best thing. Your best bet is to change that opening paragraph, by giving it punch. Please do not rewrite the title again in your opening sentence. Internet viewers may think you are boring!

Internet writing is about getting the information to the viewer as fast as possible. So, write short , sweet and to the point. Do not use two paragraphs to introduce the topic. Use bullet points, and numbered lists to get the reader through the article super fast. This is what newspapers are doing also.

A very important key feature to getting your leapfrog approved, is having a strong concluding paragraph. Don't restate what you already said. Create different, stimulating ideas, that will leave your reader thinking. Leave the reader wanting more. Yes, a well written article is very much like having great sex. Your reader will want more.
