The Secret of Article Marketing

Want to make some extra money online? Do you know The Best Way To Get A Lot Of Money Online is writing articles? If you already submitted some articles but not getting much traffic, you are not doing the right things. Actually, there are 3 ways you can focus on when writing articles:

Method #1 – You should write for human readers. Write solid and good content that add value to your visitors, share your findings and experience to solve their problem and forget about the keywords and search engine optimization! Visit some related forums and research the problems and solutions, write articles to help your visitor solve the problems.

This is the best way to attract e-zine publishers and human visitors. The key is to research your topic on the forum, focus on the problem that most of the members are facing and outline those problems and solutions in your articles. You need to write multiple versions of the same topic with different words and angles; this will give you more chance to show up on the search engine result and getting more people to view your articles!

Method #2 – Write for Search Engine - Keyword focused articles. If the particular keywords have many view and search, you want to write keyword optimized article to tap into the search engine directly. Your article title, first paragraph, middle paragraph and last paragraph should have the keywords in it, and you want to target the long tailed keyword, don’t go broad!

You will need to build a lot of back links for those competitive keywords in order to rank well on the search engine page #1. Using this method requires more SEO knowledge and work, and the best part is web 2.0 provides just the best way for you to build back links. For better result, you need blog networks to help you build back links! Some good networks such as traffic kahuna and article automation

Method #3 – Write human focused articles with keyword in mind. You want to focus on human readers, but at the same time you naturally embed the major long tail keyword into your article.

You want to use LSI with theme keywords (for example, use related keywords for Golf, like history of golf, mini golf, golf instruction, golf bags, golf accessories, tiger woods, golf courses, golf game…), you need to write longer article, above 700 words would be better! Furthermore, you also need to create back links to your page, using all those theme keywords as your anchor text. If you do it correctly, this could bring you massive traffic with multiple keywords targeted!

With a combination of these 3 methods, you can have a different level of success, the key is to focus on 1 method and master it before going to the next! Give yourself at least 3 weeks to try on each method before moving on, or you won’t see many results from it!

You also want to avoid scam affiliate products that would potentially damage your reputation…

The Birth Of Article Marketing PT 2

In the earlier days, articles were formatted much the way that articles are formatted today, except html tags were not used. The articles were all text, just as many are today. However, while links in the article are hyperlinked today, they were not hyperlinked back then, in most cases.

In case you don’t know, when a link is hyperlinked, the reader can simply click on the link to visit the webpage. When it is not hyperlinked, the reader must copy and paste the URL into their web browser, or type it in.

Over time, people learned that some measure of copywriting skills were needed for article marketing, for the purpose of writing outstanding, attention getting headlines, and in order to create an effective author’s resource box.

Even though writing and distributing articles was turning out to be an effective and cost effective way to market a business, the articles that were written and distributed were of very high quality. The spirit of the Internet was still very visible and in full swing.

The articles were written more for the purpose of sharing information, and less for the purpose of marketing a business – yet business owners who were doing this were thriving because of it.

At that time, we were not inundated with information. There was no information overload, and nobody would dare write a sales letter and try to disguise it as an article. That’s what solo ads in ezines were for – sales letters. Articles, on the other hand, were helpful to those reading them.

Over the years, newbie marketers came on the scene and saw article marketing as an opportunity – but really did not fully understand or pay attention to the spirit of the Internet – the free exchange of information on a global scale. This is when salesy articles started appearing. Those newbie marketers soon learned that they wouldn’t get anywhere with this type of article marketing. Some gave up; others changed their ways and started doing it right.

It’s hard to say when the first article repository was born. Before that, however, articles were just sent to ezine publishers directly and posted to newsgroups. However, article announcement email lists came into play – where people could more easily get their articles into the hands of ezine publishers and web publishers.

Those announcement lists were very good, for a very long time, but they eventually played out, just as FFA Link sites played out. People were participating only for the purpose of distributing their own articles, but were not actually reading or using other people’s articles. However, those announcement lists did have a nice long run, and many people still use them today just for the small results that they get.

For the most part, however, article marketing is done today just as it was in the beginning, with very few differences. Article marketing is one of the few types of Internet Marketing methods that have remained the same, without losing any of its effectiveness.

Furthermore, article marketing is also one of the few marketing methods that have been able to stand the test of time, regardless of changes that have been made to search engines, the way people buy on the Internet or even laws that have changed – such as the spamming laws. None of the changes that have been made have had any impact, and there is no impact expected in the future as well.

The Birth Of Article Marketing…

Article marketing has been around almost as long as the Internet has been around – even though it wasn’t meant for actual marketing purposes. Many years ago, back in the 90’s, people actually shared information with each other. This was termed ‘the spirit of the Internet’ way back then, and that spirit still exists today, even though it isn’t as obvious.

The Internet was designed for the free and fast exchange of information. People wrote articles on a variety of topics, for the purpose of sharing information and educating others. At first, there really weren’t any article repositories. In fact, newsletters, also called ezines, came into play long before article banks did.

So, when you wanted to share an article with the Internet community, you posted the article on your website, in a Usenet newsgroup, or in your ezine. Eventually, people started allowing other ezine publishers to use their articles as well – and the author’s resource box was born.

Because articles had such an impact in each niche (niche being another word that wasn’t used at that time), intelligent marketers saw the potential for writing and distributing articles – freely – in order to promote their businesses. They started writing and distributing articles on a regular basis – and article marketing was born – even though it wasn’t necessarily called that then. It was simply called ‘writing and distributing articles.’

It’s The Links !

It is the links placed in the text and at the bottom of the page that makes article marketing so useful, successful and popular! Your article must have good content if you want it placed in many websites because this in turn will link back to your own website which of course will increase the website ranking. Unfortunately you cannot normally expect your site to be listed straight away with the search engines. Normally however, constant submission of articles can speed the process up, especially with the back links from authority sites.

The content on your website is what brings the search engines and hence visitors so therefore part of your article marketing campaign should be to continually add fresh content to your website. Remember that visitors do not know that your website is trying to get them to buy something. The majority of visitors are just searching for more information about something. Once you have them on your site you can show them the benefits of what you are promoting. This approach is often overlooked and as a consequence visitors do not always understand what is being done. By doing this you are securing any order you make and will receive less refund requests.

It is this type of article marketing that ensures visitors are always coming to your site. Regularly submitting articles is necessary and should not be viewed as something you only have to do once. Another benefit is quality websites (like yours will be) have other websites link to them and use their content as well. Having your article duplicated on other people’s sites can bring a great deal of traffic. Never underestimate how easy it is to increase your site traffic at no cost, all it requires is regular, fresh and unique article content to achieve this.

A Review Of Article Marketing

To keep the costs of your internet business down but at the same time improve the number of visitors your get to your site you need to seriously consider article marketing. This is an easy process of using the article, which has a back link at the bottom, to send people who have read it to a website that has more information. Many places accept articles without any charge but they should be sites with a good page rank. Seeing an increase in your website traffic should happen in a very short space of time. This is the benefit of using popular sites that have authority and providing they accept your contribution it will help you as well. Trust is probably more important on the Internet because most people are faceless.

This process of article marketing by submission to various sites, if carried out routinely, will ensure people read more of your work and actively look for it as your reputation grows. If you do not get this trust from people about the quality of your work, they will not visit your site(s). In time, your website’s ranking with Google and other search engines will increase from the number of incoming links you have, as your ranking grows, there will be even more visitors to your site. The more websites that link to yours, the more traffic you will achieve, more importantly, none of this traffic actually costs anything at all!
