Should You Break Your Articles Up Into Parts?

I’ve browsed the article directories and have seen articles titles, Part 1 and Part 2. Is this a good practice?

I think, on the whole, no. Article marketing is not a good match for articles broken into parts because they typically need each other to be successful, but e-zine publishers and webmasters will rarely use both articles. They may only find one of them and not realize that it needs the other to work. If they do notice a two- or three-part article series they will likely pass it by and not publish it.

To be most effective in article marketing, write each article as a standalone article. You can write articles that are related to each other without requiring that they be used as a series. The longer your series the less likely your articles will be used by other publishers. I would stay away from the practice altogether.
