A recent craze in the internet marketing arena has been
that of article marketing. Most recently known by its new
name "bum marketing", it is a very viable long term
approach to quickly and easily generate hundreds of one-way
quality back links to your sales site, content site or blog.
But knowing how to go about it correctly is what makes the
difference between a winning article marketing campaign and
a losing one. Here are five tips to help you get the most
out of it.
1. Make it Simple and Concise: There is no need for you to
write bulky articles with the intent of impressing your
readers. Most people searching for information online are
looking for simple guides to doing something, getting
something done, etc. Make your points and put your message
through without unneeded fluff and fillers.
2. Create a Catchy Bio Box: Whether you are writing
articles to upload to your site or submit else where to get
traffic, don't underestimate the magic that a simple but
catchy message with a relevant URL can do to your click
through traffic and ultimately your sales and/or Adsense
income. Don't claim to be an expert (unless you are), just
identify with your readers as "an enthusiast" of the
subject matter you are writing about. That makes them trust
you somehow.
3. Submit to Article Directories: The best article that did
not get submitted to article directories to get you traffic
is worth nothing but digital dust. Some of the best
directories to submit your articles to are
www.EzineArticles.com, www.GoArticles.com and
www.ArticleDashboard.com. All these are high PR sites that
will get you high quality traffic and links in no time.
4. Submit to Article Distribution Services: While it is
good to submit to free article directories, it is 100x
better when you use article distribution services. These
get your article picked up by thousands of marketers
looking for high quality content. Can you imagine the
potential traffic and backlinks that you will be getting
from this? One caveat, though, is that these are paid
services. But they are worth the price. Some of the best
(and most used) out there are www.Isnare.com and
www.ArticleMarketer.com. Isnare.com is best in my opinion,
but you can experiment with both and track your success.
5. Bookmark them on Social Bookmarking Sites: Submitting
the URL of your article to sites like StumbleUpon.com,
technorati and others will almost guarantee that the
submitted page gets indexed with 24-48 hours, which means
it may start showing up in the search engines sooner than
expected. Plus, you may get a lot of clickthroughs from the
social bookmarking sites themselves.
If you follow the above steps religiously, you should start
getting a good amount of one-way links pointing to your
site and a flood of traffic that you can tap to build your
lists, sell your products or promote your affiliate
programs. What you do with it is up to you. Just don't
waste it.
