Article Marketing Strategies

by JackSinclair

The secret weapon of search engine marketing, website promotion and website submission is a powerful free technique that really can boost web site traffic when done right. This is the power of writing an article.

Everyone online is looking for something, and the main way people seek is by words. When you write an article, you use words to create useful, powerful content that people can find and enjoy. Website owners are constantly seeking good quality articles to add to their website, so there is always a home for a good article you write.

Other people have created what are known as electronic magazines, or e-zines, where they publish articles and mix in advertisements to create an income for themselves. If you write an article they like, they can use your article if they include your resource box (which links back to your stuff).

You get maximum use out of an article by publishing and syndicating it in hundreds of directories.

Articles that are syndicated to article directories and article banks normally need to meet certain standards, and you will fail to get accepted if you do not conform to what they are looking for.

Remember, you will not make any money from your articles (normally), since you are providing free content in exchange for a short "bio box" at the end of your article, where you can make your pitch.

A successful article must contain these key features in order to get published all over the Internet:

1. Your article should have no less than 300, and no more than 650 words.

2. Each article should contain a keyword that people actively search for.

3. Each article should have an attention grabbing headline and include a keyword.

4. Make an attention getting first line that also includes your keyword.

5. Your article should be informative, helpful or fun to read, and never should include affiliate links or advertisements.

6. The resource box is where you can promote yourself and your website, so use it to create a powerful call to action, and include 1 or 2 hyperlinks.

You do not need to be the one that writes the article, just as long as you are the owner of the content. This means you can outsource it to someone, or buy prewritten "private label rights" content and rewrite it.

The key to succeeding with web site traffic and website submission is to get your article published on hundreds of websites. You do this by either manually submitting your article to all the article directories, or using software to semi-automate the submission process. An even better way is to get a company to submit your article for you, since they are experts who make sure it gets done right.

Whatever path you decide on for getting articles written and submitted will work. You need to get started today, because this is one of the best free advertising methods ever invented.
