Article marketing is one of the absolute basics of internet marketing. Having articles all over the internet is a marketing method which enables you to invest some time and effort right now and reap the benefits for years to come. This article will explore some of the advantages of article marketing and its subtleties in order to help internet marketers to use it to their best advantage.</p>
<p>Anyone who&#8217;s been doing internet marketing for a while knows that writing articles is imperative to the success of one&#8217;s online campaigns. Having articles in various article directories is a great way of providing links back to your site, thus building your site&#8217;s popularity. When a page has many links back to it it helps to attain good positioning in the search engines. An article directory which has a high page rank is the best place to submit articles to as this helps to boost your page&#8217;s rank.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that people take articles they enjoy and publish them in their ezines and on their websites, further providing you, the author, with more back links and publicity.</p>
<p>When you have articles of your own posted in article directories you can slowly establish your name as an expert in your niche. People will be more apt to trust your recommendations.</p>
<p>Although it may be tempting to write a bunch of articles in one day and submit them to a few directories, exercise caution with this. Why is that? Because Google is quite sensitive about a sudden surge in traffic to a link. Although we would all love a sudden surge in traffic, it may cause Google to de-index your site in order to look in to the reason for the sudden popularity of your site. It&#8217;s better to submit articles every couple of days.</p>
<p>In the process of article marketing, don&#8217;t submit an article that is already on your own website. It may be considered duplicate content and you don&#8217;t want that! Google would consider the site which is higher ranking to be the originator of the article (the article directory) and your site&#8217;s page rank may suffer.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t submit PLR articles without making changes!! There is so much PLR available today (free and otherwise) and it is very tempting to just grab it and use it. Don&#8217;t do it. The purpose of these articles is to provide you with a basis for an article. Read it and rewrite it in your own words. Duplicate articles could be rejected by the article directories and the directories may just decide to ban your account.</p>
<p>Try to use good keywords in your article&#8217;s title and also in the beginning of the first paragraph. Sprinkle your chosen keyword all over the article as well.</p>
<p>Most article directories allow you to use hyperlinks. For sophisticated and efficient article marketing try to use anchor text that relates to the keywords you are targeting. This will help you attain a better position in the SERP&#8217;s (search engine result pages). If you are targeting the word &#8220;gardening tips&#8221; make sure to hyperlink to your website from each mention of the term in your article. This will help your gardening site be higher in the search results for the term &#8220;gardening tips&#8221;.</p>
<p>Try to remember that people will be reading your article. Make it readable for them and don&#8217;t just concentrate on the density of your keywords. If people don&#8217;t enjoy reading the article, they won&#8217;t bother reaching the end of it, which is where you will lead them to your site from the ever-important resource box!</p>
<p>In summary, article marketing is a very important, even critical, element of internet marketing. Every internet marketer should be making the effort to become proficient in article marketing and learning how to write decent quality articles in as little time as possible. It will bring in terrific long term results.</p>
<p>Happy writing!</p>

<p>My guess is that by now, you are starting to see the big picture with article marketing. Whether you are attempting to increase your search engine rankings by submitting to multiple directories, or you are looking to increase you direct traffic, article marketing is powerful.</p>
<p>Even if you are not focusing on search engine rankings, generally you should find that as you article market, your websites will become more popular. They will naturally receive more backlinks and traffic, and generally your search engine ranking will go up, even without any special emphasis on it.</p>
<p>One of the powerful things about article marketing, especially if you are building a list, is that subscribers who come to you after reading one of your articles tend to buy more than subscribers who come to you from many other traffic sources. Generally, when someone subscribes to your list after reading one or several of your articles, they already are beginning to trust you, and might buy from you sooner than someone who needs to read several emails from you and perhaps communicate online before they will purchase. Article writing simply provides a unique opportunity for you too attract subscribers to your list who have a prequalified interest and trust in you.</p>
<p>Maintaining Patience as it All Comes Together</p>
<p>When you first get started with article marketing, things will probably move slowly for you. One of the things that happen with article marketing is an exponential effect. When you have only 3 articles written, you are not going to have a flood of traffic. But if you write and submit a few articles a day for several weeks or months, you will begin to experience an incredible effect, and it will all become worthwhile. Remember, you will continue to receive the effects of articles you have written for as long as they are online and published. So when you have 10 articles or 100 articles online, you will have 10 times or 100 times the traffic that you will receive after the first article.</p>
<p>It is easy to become discouraged when you have written just a few articles, and your revenue is not consistent with the time you put into article writing and submission.</p>
<p>In fact, I will go so far as to say, if you are only going to write a few articles and then quit, you might as well not write or submit any articles. Article marketing is extremely powerful, but it is most powerful when there is a cumulative effect, and that cumulative effect takes time and multiple articles and submissions.</p>

<p>Are you searching for a method to promote your website or business? If so, read on to discover a website promotion method that costs virtually nothing to implement.</p>
<p>Article writing provides you with an excellent method of increasing the PR (page rank) of your website. The only expense to you is a little time to write short, informative articles that have value to others.</p>
<p>The articles you have written can then be submitted to some of the best article directories such as Articledashboard.com, ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, isnare.com, and articlealley.com</p>
<p>Article marketing is a great way to increase the flow of traffic and visitors to your website. If you are a business person and have a website, you may have heard the term SEO or search engine optimization. Article marketing is a very effective way to promote your business or website.</p>
<p>In simple terms SEO uses tactics such as keyword optimization to achieve a better placing in the search engines, resulting in more visitors and hopefully more sales for your business. Google operates a site ranking system commonly known as page rank. Page rank is partially based on the quality of your website content but also looks at how many other sites are &#8220;back linking&#8221; to your website. A website with more back links should hold a better search engine placement and in turn receive more visitors.</p>
<p>Once you have written your articles, make a list of article directories where you wish to submit your articles. Most directories will ask you to create a free account before articles can be submitted. Once you have your accounts in place, you can begin your article submission. Article directories must approve your submitted articles before adding them to the article directory.</p>
<p>Try to make your article interesting, factual and useful to others. Do not just write a 300 word advert for your company or service as it will most likely be declined. Make sure the title of your article accurately describes the content of the article and contains keywords associated with your subject. Layout the article in short paragraphs, do not bunch all the text together as it looks terrible and web users will rarely read large sections of text.</p>
<p>It is a known fact that web users have a very short attention span and tend to skim over large sections of text, so make it easy on the eye and easy to read. Most article directories provide a resource box into which you can place your name, a little information about you or your business and &#8211; this is the important bit &#8211; a hyperlink to your own website. This link creates the back link to your site and will help to improve both visitor numbers and search engine placement. The more back links you have, the more traffic you will receive. Do not link directly to affiliate sites as they will usually be declined, instead link to your own site and include your affiliate links there.</p>

<p>Writing and marketing articles online is probably the most effective, most cost-effective way to publicize your website, and promote your products and services online. The Web is a printing press with an insatiable appetite for articles written by experts. There are literally millions of websites and ezines that are begging for good articles. They want people to submit good articles to them. They even search sites on the web for permission to use articles.</p>
<p>So, how do you know which sites to select?</p>
<p>Through my years of experience, and many conversations with the top Internet Marketers, in order to have the greatest impact, you need to use a 3-tiered article marketing approach targeting:</p>
<p>1. The major article directories like Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, Ideamarketers.com and Articledashboard.com<br />
2. Smaller niche directory sites that are related to your content<br />
3. Niche ezine and website publishers who need and want quality related content that will add value to their website or email newsletter audience</p>
<p>My consulting clients ask me many times, &#8220; What is the best way to find ezines and websites that are the most read so my article gets the most exposure?&#8221; That should not be the first question you ask yourself. Yes, you do want to find websites that are highly visited and ezines that are the most read &#8211; but more importantly, you want to focus on finding websites and ezine publishers within your specific niche that have strong emotional connections to their audience.</p>
<p>Most likely, you are already visiting their websites or subscribing to their ezines. If you don&#8217;t know who has a great ezine related to your industry niche, there are plenty of ezine directories like bestezines.com on the net that can guide you.</p>
<p>Other strategies include:</p>
<p>- Research your competitors &#8211; where are there articles being published?</p>
<p>- Perform a Google search. Just type in your industry or article topic followed by the words article submission. That&#8217;s how I helped our client&#8217;s book jump to the #2 spot on the NY Times Best Sellers List. I typed into Google, &#8220;health article submissions&#8221;, &#8220;medical article submissions&#8221;, and &#8220;thyroid dysfunctions article submissions&#8221; and discovered (among many other sites) the contact information for an About.com editor &#8211; one of the top 50 sites on the net today. After receiving the submission, the editor blasted an email book promotion to her entire list, giving Mark Hyman MD 1500 additional opt-in subscribers and much higher sales in just one day.</p>
<p>- Think about which organizations, your audience may belong to. If you&#8217;re a sales lead expert, like our client, Mac McIntosh, then the chances of your audience belonging to an organization such as the American Marketing Association are very, very high. With more than 200,000 registered users and more than 2 million visits each year from a wide range of influential decision makers, Mac McIntosh&#8217;s soon to be published article on the American Marketing Association&#8217;s website will provide him with an excellent opportunity to connect with the marketing community.</p>
<p>- And, don&#8217;t forget to check sites for magazines within your niche. More and more publications, are looking for fresh, new content for their website, to drive traffic up in order to sell more print magazines in the long run. This constant updating of articles found only on the website and not in their print publications means more opportunities for writers and experts. An article written by you published on sites like Entrepreneur Magazine and Mothering Magazine will give your company the vast amount of exposure and credibility it needs.</p>
<p>Follow these strategies and you will have a sound article marketing campaign.</p>

<p>Planning to start up a business? You have to physically set up your business. Then you have to start advertising for your products or services &#8211; but this will only reach the people in the local vicinity, unless word of mouth of your business reaches other places or if you advertise nationwide through television or radio commercials. However, these options may be too expensive for a starting business. Either way, you can only reach a limited amount of consumers.</p>
<p>Bringing your business online may reap rewards you cannot even begin to imagine! There are a lot of advantages to bringing your business endeavors online. One of these is avoiding the costs of setting up a physical office or store. You don’t have to spend on rent for office space. Or pay monthly dues for the maintenance of your office like electricity and staff wages. There is also the hassle of traveling from your home to the office location, dealing heavy traffic and having to pay for transportation costs. With online opportunities for your business, you can be free from all of these. With the internet business industry growing, there will surely be a lot of progress in setting up your very own online business.</p>
<p>With having your own business online, you can reach even the farthest person on the planet. Physical distance is not a factor in dealing with clients online. Your clientele will not be limited to your locality compared to setting up a traditional offline business. Rather, your business will be accessible to clients all over the world as long as they can be connected in the internet.</p>
<p>One downside in setting up an online business is that people generally have a preference to look, feel, or test the product physically to check for their quality. They don’t easily trust the product’s description or pictures. People also have the liking to take strolls in malls. For them it is a leisurely activity for the whole family. Walking in malls is also a healthy form of exercise that people have come to enjoy over the years. This is an experience not felt when doing business online.</p>
<p>In order to get the people to transact in your business online, you have to properly and creatively write articles to draw these potential online customers in. This can be termed as article marketing. Article marketing involves the appropriate construction of articles to help online businesses, products, or services. It is somehow similar to online advertising, although the article used does not pose as an advertisement. Instead the article focuses on descriptions and other relevant information of the business, product, or service.</p>
<p>Articles should be written in such a way that online consumers will be drawn to your business. There are numerous guidelines for the creation of articles. This will be discussed by other topics or articles.</p>
<p>It is also important to develop the trust of the customers. Customers almost always seek assurances that their product of choice is of excellent quality. Plainly describing the products can just lead to doubts to some people, thinking that these are just sales talk. You should come up with articles that can help build the trust of the people. It’s up to your creativity to do that. Sometimes it takes more than words to build a trusting relationship.</p>
<p>Through article marketing you should be able to reach out to customers. The principle is not to wait for customers to come to your business, but rather bringing your business to them. The articles that you have for your business should contain all the necessary information these online consumers need to know. The articles should also be convincing enough to lure the online consumers to your business. Do not heavily focus on luring online consumers though. They might end up disappointed with your business to the point that they give bad reviews towards you. Try to keep your articles.</p>
<p>Article marketing involves the utilization of article directories where you deposit your articles. These article directories categorize your articles fittingly to their corresponding categories. Popular search engines also browse through article directories when an online user searches for relevant keywords. Your article should have the appropriate keyword for is to be located by the online user. And the better the article in terms of quality and popularity, the higher its priority and ranking in search engines and article directories. Articles are always vying for priority to get better exposure to the online community. It helps to know that your articles should be good enough to make online users read them and patronize them.</p>
<p>Always remember that the very core of your online business is through article marketing. Keep your potential customers well informed by writing articles. Both the buyer and seller will benefit form these articles. The buyer gets all the needed information regarding the desired product and the seller is able to sell the product and gains money.</p>

<p>Writing articles as I am sure many of you know is a very popular way of increasing the amount of backward links that you have pointing to your site. In theory, the more of these backward links we are able to obtain, the more traffic our site should receive. There are however some very important things to take into consideration when writing and submitting your articles as you do not want to be wasting your time and you do not want your site to get dropped by the major search engines or put in some sort of sandbox.</p>
<p>The first thing to remember is that Rome was not built in a day. What I mean is if you have a new website, about for example hair loss, you may want to reach the top ten in Google for your keywords within say six months. You hear that one way to do this is by building up good number of backward links to this hair site. You think that the more the merrier and start pounding out one article after the other and are very proud of yourself after the first month because you were able to write fifty articles all pointing to your new hair website.</p>
<p>I believe this approach to be totally wrong. The hair loss websites which are in the top ten of Google have probably been around for quite a number of years and will without doubt have a number of quality backward links. If your site sticks around for a long time and you continue to build up its backward links it will go higher and higher in the search engines over time.</p>
<p>The one thing you do not want to do is to raise any red flags with the search engines. A new site which has eight hundred backward links after one month could raise this red flag. The search engines will now probably not trust this site and could easily put it in some sort of sandbox until it decides whether it is kosha or not. </p>
<p>In my opinion it is important to build up the number of backward links to a new website fairly slowly. When writing articles, I would personally only write one article with a link to a new website per week. Of course if you have ten websites, you are able to write ten articles if you only decide to have one link on each article etc.</p>
<p>I also think that it is very worthwhile to only submit the same article to around five or six of the different article directories. I would submit the article in total to around twenty-two article directories but would have around four variations of it etc. The differences in each article are not massive but are big enough to make it more original. There is a big thing being debated at the moment in webmaster circles about the potential damage that can be caused by duplicate content. From what I have read, everybody seems to have a different opinion on this subject. My opinion is that it is better to be safe than sorry, therefore why take the risk? It would be good however if the major search engines could clarify their position on the subject, but lets face it, that is never going to happen.</p>
<p>In conclusion, my advice is to enjoy writing articles, have patience, build up the number of backward links slowly and to submit different variations of the same article to the directories.</p>

<p>For a long time now there has been a lot of buzz in the online world about article marketing, but I am still frequently asked what it is and how it works. Here is a brief explanation. Like any large medium, the internet is hungry for content.</p>
<p>However, unlike other media outlets such as TV, radio and newspapers, which generally only use content from professional writers, on the internet, anyone can publish. Article marketing is a way of taking advantage of that freedom and using the medium as a way to bring visitors to your website or blog. So, how does it work?</p>
<p>You write an article. A typical article for web consumption will be between 250 and 750 words long. It will be carefully focused round a specific area of expertise; the writer&#8217;s niche. It will use keywords relevant to the writer&#8217;s intended audience and often it will contain a numbered or bulleted list for clarity and ease of reading.<br />
You publish that article on the web. There are now hundreds of article directories, where any writer can publish almost any article. Most are free to use, but some more specialized ones charge a small fee. One of the biggest free directories is EzineArticles.com which carries the work of nearly 70,000 writers.<br />
The directories are organized into multiple categories and the article writer must decide which category to publish under. You are also encouraged to attach a group of relevant keywords to your article and to include your personal or business details and a link to your site, in your &#8216;resource box&#8217;, which is a brief paragraph about you or your work which will appear at the bottom of every article. The directories employ a team of staff to approve each article before it becomes available on the web.</p>
<p>So how does this drive traffic? Firstly, the directories, being very content rich, have high rankings in the search engines and often your article may be spotted there and an interested reader might click on your link and come through to your website.</p>
<p>However, the real purpose of the directories is to provide a place for e-zine publishers to find free and relevant content. Every day, editors of a huge range of subject specific e-zines, visit the article directories and download new articles that are relevant to their audience. This saves them writing it themselves. The only stipulation made is that they must publish the article in full, without editing and always include the author&#8217;s resource box and retain the links intact.</p>
<p>So over a period, a single article can easily, be found in many different places on the web, each time with a valuable back link to your website, which not only leads highly targeted visitors to you but also helps to improve your search rankings.</p>

<p>All the hype nowadays in web-based industries is the pioneering concept called article marketing. Article marketing is one type of Internet advertising that has proven to be both instructive and effective, because Internet users are being given useful information on their related searches, through short but helpful articles with an accompanying link to the author&#8217;s site at the bottom part of the article. Website owners are now given a new way to market their goods and services, where they can post their articles in a number of directories in exchange for potential views and increased website traffic.</p>
<p>So how do you write such articles? Article writing encompasses initially mass print media like magazines, newspapers, and the like. The articles written in these media are usually long winded and detailed, and very often command longer attention spans from the readers.  Newspapers and magazines pay their writers to write such long articles because their readership depend on how wide range the topics are, and how up to trend the issues are. But the articles employed in Internet article marketing should not be in parallel with the articles written in print. The web is a never-ending source of research material and if the readers do not get what they want instantly by reading the articles published in directories, they could turn to other sources because the choices are endless.  Therefore the articles have to be written in such a way that the attentions of the Internet users are utilized to the fullest degree. </p>
<p>Short articles of about 600-800 words are most ideal. This way, all the important elements of a subject matter is tightly woven into the article, thus creating less risk of boring the readers with unnecessary matters.  Imagine an article that has too much introduction, an incoherent body, and a hanging conclusion- no one would take the effort to have to analyze what is written, because people want straight up facts. They want to read and to understand each sentence, and ideally to be more informed about the given issue, period. </p>
<p>For example, an article that deals with the benefits of water therapy would want to consider including highlights on how the consumption of water could help in eradicating toxins built up by faulty eating. And then this could be explained further by noting specific studies that have dealt with natural remedies alongside the use of conventional commercial medicine. The advantages of utilizing natural therapies would be that there are less possibilities of side effects and a less overworked liver, as this essential body organ is primarily responsible in the flushing out of unwanted toxins from overeating, unnatural diets, and of course modern pills and medicines.</p>
<p>The article has to be persuasive, too. Persuasive, yes, but not in the obvious way of trying to sell something, credible in the sense that straight facts, and not just mere opinions, are being presented. Statistical studies that can be verified are helpful tools in persuasive delivery because there are quite a number of surveys over the Internet that provides clear facts. A persuasive article would also want to consider using quotes from reliable personalities on the subject matter.  This adds credibility to the written article and considerably increases general interest.  Anyone who would read something that was verified by an expert, and can be traced back to historical truths would most likely begin to form certain positive beliefs. </p>
<p>Then there is the issue about the target market. And in this case, since the articles can be read by many, it would be more appropriate to say target audience. Of course, not everyone is interested with the things that are written in the articles. There would be people who would not care less what the topics are about simply because not every topic can elicit a favorable response from everyone. The reason why businesses have to target a market niche is because certain demographics will veer away from what the popular trends are. Age, gender, cultural differences, and the like are just some of the demographics to be considered.  If a certain article topic for example is targeted to people with age over 40, perhaps the use of modern slang and the online chat lexicons should be discouraged. The audiences are the judges on the written articles, and if they are disappointed with what they have read, they would most very likely switch to other websites, or to choose the articles that are in tune with what they are searching for. </p>
<p>Asking questions on the topics too would help very largely. This allows for review on the article that will be published. Will the target audience care to hear this? Will this information drive be helpful? Will these people be propelled to read further and to click on the site located at the resource box? Or will they just end up getting bored on mid-page and abandon the site altogether? These are just some of the crucial questions that need to be dealt with in creating well-written contents in article marketing.</p>
<p>A well-written article too, is one that appears not be blatantly selling anything, but one that disguises merely as simple information drive. People usually have adverse reactions to annoying salesmen knocking on doors in the rush of morning hours, that when they are usually presented anything that merits a sale, the mechanical response would almost always be in the negative. Article marketing seeks to build up a wide readership over an extended period of time by publishing relevant and up-to-date articles, and not to drive would-be clients away because of the obvious want of easy profit. The wide source of information, and the relatively easy access to it have made our audiences more intelligent buyers, and their knowledge compels them to make choices that they can benefit from even in the long term.</p>

<p>Submitting articles to article directories is a proven to attract more visitors to your site, give you a higher page rankings and, ultimately, make you more money. However, search engines and article directories are getting tougher on the articles you submit. In this article we give you some tips on how to submit articles successfully.</p>
<p>Changes in the way search engines and article directories work in recent times mean that article marketers need to be a bit more savvy about how they go about submitting their articles. There was a time when you could write a good article, submit it to hundreds, if not thousands, of directories and watch your profits grow. These days it is not quite so simple.</p>
<p>The easiest way to get your article published on a lot of directories quickly is to use an article submission service. It is possible to do it by hand but this is a laborious and tedious task, unless you submit to just a small number of directories.</p>
<p>There are many article submission services available online, both free and paid, or you can invest in software that will do the job for you. These can be effective but there is a danger that article directories will reject your content if they suspect you are using an automated submission method. In a worst case scenario you could be banned from submitting to the directory again.</p>
<p>So, if you are using an article submission service check that their methods will not cause you problems with the directories. If you are submitting articles yourself, do not submit too many articles to any one directory at the same time.</p>
<p>Duplicate content</p>
<p>An even bigger problem for article marketers is that the major engines now penalize duplicate content. In the past you could submit an article to 100 article directories and the likes of Google and Yahoo! would award you for having 100 backlinks to your website. You would also be awarded when the article was picked up and used by other websites. However, this has changed.</p>
<p>The search engines can now recognize duplicate content. So, even if your article appears on 1,000 different websites you will still only be awarded for one backlink. You will of course gain traffic that accesses your website directly through the link provided with your article. However, this makes it much more difficult to use article submissions as a search engine optimization tool.</p>
<p>The only way to get around this is to submit a unique version of each article you write to each article directory. Again, if you only submit articles to a small number of directories you could tweak each article yourself so you have a number of different versions. However, if you are submitting to hundreds of directories this is out of the question.</p>
<p>It is not really known just how much an article needs to be changed to become unique. Some argue simply switching paragraphs within an article is enough, while others think that the text within the paragraphs needs to be changed too.</p>
<p>There are a number of possible solutions to this problem. Many article submission services have been quick to move to address this issue. As well as submitting your articles to multiple article directories they will also create different versions of each article for you or provide you with a tool for doing so yourself.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could invest in some software that helps with the re-writing of articles. These are also known as article spinners and will automatically replace words with other words of a similar meaning. For example, the word &#8216;small&#8217; might be changed with the word &#8216;little&#8217; and so on. However, the software needs to be configured to do so manually. Others will simply change the order of paragraphs in articles. This can also be very time consuming and may not do enough to make the different versions unique in the eyes of the search engines.</p>
<p>One final option could be to get outside help. There are many websites such as elance.com and getafreelancer.com where you can post rewriting projects for professional writers. The quality of the work will vary but rates can be quite cheap.</p>
<p>It may be a good idea to try out these methods and see how they work for you. You will have to invest some money but it will be worth it if you find a workable solution to duplicate content.</p>
<p>Writing articles and submitting them to article directories can be as beneficial a marketing and SEO tool as it has ever been. However, doing it successfully is a little trickier than it was before.</p>

<p>Whether you are marketing a product or a service, you need to get visitors to your website.  Then you realize that the likelihood of making a sale is directly related to the number of visitors to your website. What should you do? Viral marketing applies to e-books which can be too lengthy to write. Link exchanging is helpful, but link farms are to be avoided.  Google doesn’t like your website for some strange reason. What is a website owner suppose to do?</p>
<p>Article marketing.  I am going to tell you all about article marketing.  It&#8217;s the fastest way of exposing your website to more people and getting the type of targeted traffic that really matters.</p>
<p>Article marketing involves the submitting of an article to as many free article directory websites as possible. Search engines love free article directory websites. And best of all, you are allowed a resource box at the end of your article where you could prominently display your name as well as three links to your website. This would certainly generate some traffic to your website!</p>
<p>The trick is in writing an article that people would love to read and to subtly market yourself, product, or a service that you offer through the article. Do consider the following article writing tips in planning your article marketing campaign:</p>
<p>1.  Write the article well. By this, I mean that you should write the article in a proven style that has been established in article marketing. Web readers are usually more impatient. In the article keep the paragraphs short, the tone conversational, and the style friendly.  Avoid using jargons in the article that average people wouldn’t recognize. But make sure that the article is grammatically sound, flows well, spelled right, and is factually correct.</p>
<p>2.  Write the article with focus. Pinpoint a subject you want to discuss. The subject of the article should be moderately related to your product, service, or website, as the point here is to generate traffic to your website. Stick with that topic.</p>
<p>3.  If you do not have the time to write the article, you could hire a ghostwriter to write the article for you. Fees for a 300-600 word article range from $5 to $50, but the money should not be a factor if you find a ghostwriter who is perfect for the article. Additionally, the very nature of a ghostwriting service is confidentiality, so choose one whom you could trust for the article.</p>
<p>4.  The article should be informative. Article marketing should not be a direct sales pitch, or at the very least, a blatant one. Readers don’t like ads posing as articles. The purpose of article marketing is to provide the readers with something useful, something that they would want to read.</p>
<p>5.  Strategically place within the article keywords that are relevant to your website as well as the subject of the article. Search engines love article directory websites, and more often than not, each page is indexed separately.  Making the article keyword-rich would invite those search engine spiders like crazy!</p>
<p>6.  Format the article resource box. What is needed is a short introduction of yourself. One or two lines is perfect. Don&#8217;t go into great detail. Make it relate to your website and the article contents. Add links to different pages on your website. Most article directory websites will allow up to three links to your website.</p>
<p>7.  Invite your readers to distribute the article by allowing them to republish the article on their website, to e-mail it to their friends, or to use it in their newsletters, provided that the article and resource box are kept intact.</p>
<p>8.  Assemble a list of all the free article directory websites that you can find to submit to. Know the editorial requirements for each website, and if the article will suit them.  Submit the article to as many article directory websites as possible.</p>
<p>9.  Now don’t stop writing articles! Write or commission more articles and repeat the entire process. It’s still a numbers game. The more articles you have distributed, the more chances you will have of being read by a lot of people, and the more unique links back to your website you will have.</p>
<p>10.  Practice patience. Writing articles can be difficult, but once your article is posted on multiple websites, more visitors will come. Give it time. The viral nature of article marketing will soon prove itself! </p>
<p>So you see why article marketing is so important.  It’s one of the easiest and cheapest ways to get more visitors to your website.  Article marketing also improves your website rankings with the search engines by having more unique links back to your website.</p>
