Article Marketing: Join The Content Revolution
By Jeffrey Greer
Do people actually read the text on your site? What is the use of having
articles on your site anyways? How exactly does article marketing 'market' your
site?
The internet is a big portal where people come to look for information. If
you have no information, viewers will leave your site for a better one. When
optimizing your site, remember that your website is not the only fish in the
lake. There are sharks in there and promoting your site through article
marketing is not a bad idea.
So, should you provide content or just dump tons of keywords out there? The
answer is 'yes' and 'no'. You should provide great content that uses your
keywords efficiently. Keywords are another aspect of promoting your site and it
leads the reader to your content.
Once again, if your website is selling tomatoes, you will want to tell the
potential buyer about tomatoes and keep him/her interested. You will also want
to tell the search engines to direct any tomato seeker to your site by using
this 'tomato' keyword more than a couple of times, including your Meta keywords
and description; if possible, also as the title of your article.
Not only does article marketing increase your page rank, using links
(relevantly) through your article will also increase your link popularity. If
you are an affiliate of other websites, this will be the great time to include
useful money making links into your article. Although be sure to review the
author guidelines prior to submitting to an article directory, as some do not
allow the use of affiliate links.
Article marketing can also serve as a basis for your PPC/CPM ads. Certain ads
use certain keywords, and articles contain words that can draw traffic and
revenue to your site: utilize it. Article marketing extends beyond just writing
the articles, you also want people to read these articles and develop an
interest in your product.
Now that you have created/bought articles that relate to your website, are
keyword optimized, and are informational, you can place it on your site and then
submit it to several of the top article directories. Placing relevant content
with your links on other relative website are great article marketing techniques
that can earn you page views.
The best way to approach another web site owner is to ask if they would be
interested in an article swap, this way both sites will benefit from the one way
back link.
Remember that your articles should be authentic and original. Do not collect
articles from free article directories, as those articles have been used over
and over again and will damage the link popularity of your website. Instead,
write articles yourself, exchange articles, hire a hand, or buy original
articles.
