Article marketing is an inexpensive and effective way to
build back links and to get your home based business
globally recognized. Getting an article published on
hundreds or thousands of directories will bring a surge of
traffic to your site as well as setting it up for long term
highly targeted traffic through the search engines. There
are many different variables that come into play in making
this method work effectively and efficiently for your home
based business.
The first thing you need to ask yourself is if you feel
comfortable enough and confident enough to write. If you
are, good for you! Read through a couple of high quality
articles to get a feel of what it takes and get started
writing one yourself. After writing a couple you'll really
start to pick up on speed and what it takes to make your
articles successful.
On the other hand, if you have no previous writing
experience or just don't feel comfortable writing articles,
don't worry, you can have your articles outsourced for you.
There are many people and/or services that you can buy
bulk amounts of articles for a relatively low price.
Although I would highly advise and recommend you to learn
to write your own articles. In the long run it will be
much more cost efficient and also more gratifying to be
able to accomplish something by yourself. You may never
know if you are good at something unless you try it.
Once you have an article written, you need to submit it to
some directories. There has been some mixed feedback on
how to do this. At first it was thought that the more
directories you submit to, the better off you are because
you have more back links. Back links are imperative in
ranking high in the search engines.
However, recently it was discovered that the search engines
will penalize you for submitting it everywhere because they
see it as spam and we all know that the internet is flooded
with spam. With this new found knowledge, it is thought
that submitting to just a handful of only the best
directories will give you the best chance for your articles
to succeed in the search engines.
So which way is best?
Well, there are obviously varying opinions on this
question. Let it be known from experience, that using a
distribution service and getting your articles to as many
directories as possible will bring you more immediate
traffic than submitting to just a couple of directories
manually. So in that regard I do believe that using an
article distributor is your better choice. Of course you
still have the problem of being penalized for spamming
which will make it tough to receive any free long term
traffic through the search engines. That being said, there
is now a solution! A method called article leveraging that
will solve this issue...well, for now.
Article leveraging is a process where you take your
original article and change it up just a bit. You
basically change your title a couple of times, tweak six or
seven sentences throughout the article, and change your
resource box one or two times. What you end up with is a
30-40% variance in your article. Now when you submit your
article to the different directories, the search engines
don't see it as one article but several different articles.
Using this method, it is possible to have multiple
articles (of the same original) showing up on page of
Google at the same time!
If you are interested in starting article marketing, I
suggest you learn how to write your own articles and find
an article distribution service that allows you to leverage
your articles. Once you learn the ropes and are a couple
of months deep in the process, you will really begin to
reap the rewards.
