Posts Tagged ‘article marketing’
I’m a full time internet marketer who spends most of work day doing three things: Creating WordPress posts (which usually link to a money making product such as Penis Enlargement Pills), writing articles which link to those blog posts (using tools such as Unique Article Wizard), and listening to The Beatles (yes I have Beatlemania and yes I ordered The Beatles Mono Box Set as soon as it was available.)
Of course, this post isn’t about the first and third things, just the 2nd. Article marketing works wonders for search engine optimization, in fact it’s just about the only tool I use for building links now and I find it quite effective.
First of all you need to look beyond the EZineArticles website, too many people think that is the only place you should submit articles to! I think that’s crazy. While I defintely use EZineArticles, I do not rely upon it. And I don’t think it’s really the best as far as building links goes (because the articles rarely get picked up to be on other people’s sites very often.) Instead I mostly rely upon article distributon sites.
The key with an article distribution site is that you significantly leverage your work. For example instead of just getting links up on one site for the writing of one article, you can get your links back on hundreds of sites.
If you know anything about SEO then you know the great importance of getting links back on as many sites as you can, so I don’t think I need to explain why you would want these links back, I’m only trying to show you the considerable power of article marketing and why you should make it the main part of your link building plan.
I think you can have great results by submitting one or two articles per day if you use one of the best article distribution sites, and I do recommend that you use multiple article distribution services. The more article distribution services that you use and the more articles you submit, the better your results will be.
If you outsource your article marketing needs, you may be able to increase your profits even if you have to pay somebody else to write the articles for you. While there are many reasons for this observation, one of them is that you need a lot of time to write the articles. You may soon discover that you have very little left for the other important work to be done in Internet marketing because it is taking you a long time to write the articles. You may also note that a professional article writing service provider could do the work for you in much less time than if you do the writing yourself.
It is also important to observe that competition in online marketing has been growing at a steady pace, thus resulting in the need to get more articles published in more directories in contrast to what was need a few years back. Therefore, the task of writing the articles is becoming even more difficult. And if your competitors outsource their article marketing needs, you may find it very hard to gain the upper hand because they can publish their articles on tap much faster than you. You are in danger of losing your business if your competitors begin to reduce your market share, thereby reducing your profits. It is easy to see why outsourcing your article writing needs could earn you more money in the long run.
However, before you start outsourcing your article marketing requirements, make sure that you have been doing this yourself for some time. This will allow you to have a benchmark on which to compare the performance of your service provider to know when they are doing well or if you have to look for another provider. You also have an idea about the features of quality articles with regards to keyword density, construction, etc. And you are also aware of the work that is needed to come up with the articles so that you know what would be a fare price and how long it would take to finish the articles.
And when you select your service provider to get your article marketing outsourced, it would be a grievous error to choose one based primarily on price. It is only natural to focus on saving money when you are in business but getting poor quality articles could prove to be more costly in the long run. Make sure, instead, that you get high quality articles that are able to bring more traffic to your website. If you have more traffic, you have a better chance of increasing your sales and profits. Thus, you can really have more profits if you outsource your article marketing needs.
There are certain sets of skills and knowledge that are a part of any job to be completed properly. This applies to writing for article marketing as well as any profession.
I’ll leave the particular skill sets necessary for someone who provides expert article writing for marketing purposes for another time. In this short piece, I want to describe in general terms what such a writer should know.
At the heart of the purpose of article marketing is search engine optimization (SEO). You not doubt realize that SEO is a very complex field in its own write, and it changes frequently as the search engines are continually refining their algorithms to try to deliver ever improving results for users. However, if we are only considering the task of the writer, we can narrow the list of specific aspects of search engine optimization to just a few.
Use of Keywords: Nobody can tell you a true magic number of times a keyword should be used in an article. If someone tells you that you must include a keyword four to six percent of the time, that person is simply wrong. (Of course, if that person is your client, it may be advisable to pretend that she or he is correct.) But here are a few generalizations about keyword use that work:
1. Make an effort to include your keyword (or at least part of the key phrase) in the article’s title.
2. If possible, include your primary keyword in the article’s first paragraph (or the second paragraph at latest).
3. Avoid using any keyword or key phrase much more often than ten percent of the time or much less than 3 percent.
4. Never try to optimize for more than three versions of a keyword in a single article.
Duplication of Content: Make certain that your articles are sufficiently different from each other, if you are assigned to write more that one article for the same keyword or short keyword list. Otherwise search engines may see them as the same content. When that occurs, one one of the articles will remain in the search engine’s index. At first, the search engine may list multiple identical content, however over time the search robots will classify the duplicate content as redundant and stop indexing all but one of the versions. At a website, dupecop.com, there is a free tool available that will compare up to four articles to score the uniqueness of each against the others. They also sell a version of the same software that can check up to twenty five articles at a time, as long as they are in .txt format.
A good article marketing writer should also be familiar with a concept called article spinning and useful software for article marketing, in addition to being mindful of search engine optimization guidelines. Article spinning is nothing more than providing alternative words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs throughout the original article. The function of the software is to randomly select from the available alternatives. While the process of preparing an article for spinning is quite time consuming, it is a highly effective way of generating unique versions of the same article. In the end, it is faster than writing more articles from scratch.
I have some hard data to share, but before I do let me provide a little context. Seven weeks ago I became a member of an content distribution service. While I don’t actually know the guy that designed this remarkable tool for online marketers, I honestly feel as if I do, because I have heard his voice on so many training videos about how to use the many products and services I have purchased from him. I’m sure I must be sending a kid of his to college, but he’s too young to have kids that age..
Due to my many prior experiences with this boy genius (well, he’s not really that young), I was confident that the service would accomplish for me what it promised: An innovative way of distributing my articles. Like any Internet marketer, I could always use more traffic, and is there anyone who isn’t on the look-out for a way to add external links pointed toward our virtual real estate? My primary approach for achieving both of these goals is distributing content to article directories.
In the past, most of my subtly promotional articles have gone to article directories, but this new network offers some important advantages over article directory submissions. For example, I can now put my links directly into the body of the article rather than assigning them to a resource box. That’s something that most article directories don’t allow, but I know that it is more effective for both traffic generation and for search engine optimization. Second, the articles go directly to websites for publication, sites that are in my niche or a closely related niche. As with the previous benefit, that helps with regard to both traffic and SEO. Third, since some of my business involves affiliate marketing, with this service I can put an affiliate link directly in the article, if I want–another thing that the article directories don’t allow. Fourth, the distribution system has a built in article spinner, so that the version of the article that each website publishes can be unique.
Let me tell you what my membership has helped me achieve in the less than seven weeks that I have been a member. Here are just a few of the highlights of my experience with My Article Network.
Now the articles trickle out to the sites, so those I’ve put into the system so far are all at different points in their publication schedule. I have submitted 58 well spun article. Over 1900 web pages now consist of my unique versions of those articles. I am allowed to insert up to three links in each article, but I vary the number of links, so my conservative best guess is that my sites singled out for promotion through this system have received somewhere in excess of four thousand links. Obviously, it will require additional time for some of those links to be noticed by the various search engine. Some of my links are actually pointed at other of my articles published on article directories and some of the sites in the system to give them a little more “link juice.”
I started a new site in a very competitive niche about three months ago, and I have directed the links from more than half of my articles toward that site’s promotion. Alexa couldn’t even find that site when I first joined this system, and now it has climbed in the Alexa rankings more than two million positions. In fact, it gets more traffic than some of my sites that have been around for quite a while. Indeed on the oldest site that I ever built (that I still own), has received no attention from me in months, but I entered nine articles into this system and that site’s Alexa ranking has improved by more than 120,000 positions. As far as I can tell, that additional traffic can be attributed only to this network and my measly efforts in writing content for distribution that is related to this niche in the past seven weeks.
I’m quite pleased with the results so far, but I have been lax in my tracking. Only six days ago, I decided I should just keep records of the results, so I set up a spread sheet. In that one week (little less) the eight sites that I have directly promoted through the service have increased a cumulative total of over 5 million positions in Alexa. Not bad for six days.
I actually became so excited by the whole process that I have subsequently created four new blogs to join the over 10,000 websites that are eager publishers for the content that we writer-marketers provide.
I urge you to check out My Article Network. Oh, and for you affiliate marketers, yes you can become an affiliate after you join as a subscriber.
The enormous amount of money being made promoting Clickbank products is drawing many new people into the affiliate marketing game. Sadly too many newbies start off with Google PPC and beging losing a lot more money than they are making.That’s because while PPC can be very effective, there’s also a huge learning curve and a ton of competition. Plus you have to spend a lot of money during your trial & error days figuring out what works and what doesn’t work. If you don’t have a lot of money to blow while trying to make money then you should probably try something else and the something else that I recommend is article marketing.
Article marketing is great for marketers with more time than money because time is exactly what it takes. You can build a long term income stream by building a landing page like this one: “Day Off Diet Review By The Diet Detective” which promotes a high pay out high conversion Clickbank product like the one being promoted on that landing page.
It’s recommended that you use a variety of article submission services combined with the use of web 2.0. It’s essential to know which submission services are effective and which ones are a waste money and time. Using effective article submission websites will increase the power of your article marketing efforts by an exponential amount. If you want to try article marketing I recommend [reading about.
As far as choosing a Clickbank product to promote, I recommend avoiding fad products (like Water4Gas) and make money online products (the fact is most people in this market will just buy the product with their own Clickbank ID for a built-in discount.) Instead you should invest your time in an “ever green” market like the diet market. There will always be people looking to lose weight who are looking for a new diet plan to try. This market is going nowhere fast! Why invest your time in something that may be “here today, gone tomorrow” when you can instead spend your time marketing something that can make you money for a very long time to come.
Making money online is not a mirage. Many internet marketers are doing it. And in these difficult economic times many more will be getting into the action. That’s why it’s important to get started right now as you do not want to be way behind from the get go.
What is the best way to increase your online sales? How can I promote my website for free? What are the benefits of article marketing? Does article marketing work? These are questions that I am asked on a regular basis and are questions that I will be answering in this article.
I own a small business and have a number of websites which I use to promote the services that I offer. I am involved in providing online guitar lessons for beginners as well as with a company that offer a DVD duplication service. As like I am sure the majority of webmasters out there, I wanted to attract as many people as I could to visit and read the content of the websites. At the outset due to my lack of knowledge of the best ways of promoting a website I enlisted the help of people who referred themselves as SEO experts. As it turned out neither were they, despite their claims of being an SEO expert.
After some particularly bad experiences with these so called experts of the SEO industry and after wasting a great deal of money I decided to attempt to educate myself on the art of web promotion. This was about seven years ago and one of the first things I was to learn was about the power of article marketing. I started to write articles and was astonished with the results, I was gaining additional traffic that were coming directly from the articles and the websites were also obtaining higher search engine rankings.
Article marketing has stood the test of time and is still as beneficial today as it was seven years ago. Article marketing is a free form of web promotion which is a major benefit to the small businessman!
I aim to write an average of one article per day and have managed to do this for the last two and a half years, the results speak for themselves.
Whether you are an experienced affiliate marketer or entirely new to affiliate marketing, anything that will increase your traffic and income is attractive. I recommend two resources that will meet those objectives, and, if used properly, they should do far more than cover your costs for them.
MyArticleNetwork is an article syndicate membership service that distributes your niche marketing articles directly to related blogs which are hungry for content. Within reason, you can set a limit to the number of versions of a spun article that you would like distributed.
The Affiliate Classroom 2, Anik Singal’s flagship affiliate learning resource, is ready to take on new members who want a university quality education in our field. Members of the previous version reported increases in their business ranging from 11% to 40%. I don’t know about you, but even at the low end, I’d be happy to increase my income by eleven percent any day! Furthermore, three quarters of the members of the older version reported that they needed no other affiliate marketing resource for assistance or education. Just think about all the savings in that one statistic.
Both of these programs offer affiliate programs. I neither instance can you use your own affiliate link for your own purchase of the product. Indeed, in the case of the article distribution service, you must become a member before you qualify for the affiliate program. Both offer two tier systems, encouraging all of us to seek high quality traffic of affiliate marketers who will also be good spokespeople for the membership products. And the fact that buyers will not be able to substitute their own links for that of our own links makes these affiliate programs especially attractive.
I have previously published overview of MyArticleNetwork, in a different article. Here I want to share with you one of the techniques that I employ to make sure that my small membership fee doesn’t have to be covered from other revenue sources.
Not long ago I wrote a review of two products for which I am an affiliate. I prepared that article for the built-in spinner and entered it into the system. While I usually drive traffic (and SEO links) to my own sites, in that article I used direct affiliate links. That article is very early in its paced distribution cycle and the earnings that it has generated have already covered my membership fee. It still will be published on 200% more websites. Plus, those articles will be out there for a long time, reaching new readers. There is no way to estimate how much that single spun article that I wrote just a few days ago will eventually earn me.
Both of these memberships will help me build my business for the long term, but the best news for me is that I can make them pay for themselves.
I am one of many people who have realised the many benefits that writing articles can bring. Article marketing is now widely recognised as an excellent way of promoting a website, however there are many more opportunities out there to make money for the budding writer.
I just happened to stumble across the idea of writing articles around eight months ago when I was discussing different forms of website promotion with a friend of mine. I was looking at ways in which I could attract more visitors to my own sites and he advised me to commence writing articles.
The advice was sound and I have not looked back since. Writing articles is a superb way of gaining extra one-way backward links to your site and the readers of each article are also potential visitors. I run a stuttering therapy website where I offer a speech course to enable people to achieve fluency. Thanks to the power of article marketing more and more people are able to gain access to quality stuttering and stammering advice. I also offer online guitar lessons for beginners.
I attempt to write around seven articles per week which is not easy at times but is something I am aware will help my sites.
In each article I try to give advice and attempt to make them enjoyable for any potential reader.
There are other ways that people like myself, who enjoy to write can make money from their skills.
Other people are also aware of the benefits of article marketing but just do not have the time to write themselves. These people are always on the lookout for somebody to help them out, somebody who will write and submit an article for them. There are a number of websites where each writer can notify people of their services and where other people can post a project that they would like to be completed.
Other areas where people can earn additional cash from their skills is via writing freelance for newspapers and magazines. If your skills are of a higher enough quality and what you write is of interest to a wide audience, there is no reason why you could not earn money in this way.
The fact that you are a quality content writer wil stand you in good stead as this skill is in great demand at the moment and is likely to continue to be so for some time to come. I am sure that I am not the only one that has noticed all of the rubbish that is on the internet at the moment; this is exactly the reason why your skills as a top quality writer are much sought after.
Many people might argue that they are not well enough educated to be accepted as a writer in certain quarters. This may well be correct for some people out there, however if you do not try you will never know. Content is king as they say and if your content is good enough and of interest, why would people have an issue with your lack of examinations etc.
Ensure that your content is easy to read and that all of the words are spelt correct. The world is your oyster, go for it.

To Your Article Marketing Success
Are you interested in web promotion and web marketing? Have you discovered the power of article marketing yet? Are you attempting to attract additional traffic to your website? Are you hoping to make a lot of money online via your website. I am, of course, not entirely sure how you will have answered the above questions however they are ones that I most certainly would have answered yes to all of them. Taking my last eight years of experience, I truly believe that writing articles is one of the best, if not the best forms of promoting a website and in this article I am going to write about what in my opinion are the best five article marketing websites to submit your articles to.
I have been writing articles for eighteen months and I must say that I aim to continue writing more articles as a way of promoting my own websites for many more years to come. This is because it has done wonders for my own sites and also because it is a form of free web marketing. I would strongly advise any person who is looking to gain more traffic to their sites to commence writing articles asap. As a rule I attempt or have a goal to write an average of one article per day. On certain days when I have more time or when I am in the mood for it, I write a lot more than just one, my record thus far has been seven in one day.
In every day life I am involved with various products including DVD replication and a service offering cheap calls.
I would have to say that without a shadow of a doubt that Ezinearticles is the best article marketing directory on the net. It is important to be clear about their guidelines when submitting to this site as they do not accept any old rubbish, which of course has to be a good thing.
I also submit to articlealley, articledashboard, goarticles and ideamarketers.
Searchwarp used to be a favourite of mine however no longer appears in the top five.
Buzzle is another article directory that I have heard is particularly good. This is a site that I have heard great things about and is one which could possibly feature in my list of “five favourite article marketing websites” in the future.
