Many people use article marketing as a favorable means of marketing. It generates increased targeted traffic to your website which generates a sale for the website. Follow these tips for a successful article marketing campaign:

 

  1. Many people think that it is the number of articles that is important for successful article marketing. However, it is also important that you maintain quality content for attracting and retaining readers. Use the internet for information to make the articles interesting and have readers coming back for more.
  2. It is better to maintain sweet and short articles. Readers don’t have the patience to sit for too long in front of the computer reading long articles. So keep articles short and to the point to retain readers’ attention.

  3. Introduce variety in your articles. Think of different perspectives that can be used to reach your topics. With various articles, you will be able to target your niche and thus, attract a larger and more interested audience to your site.

  4. Make sure your articles have interesting headings. It is the headline of your article that gives a reason as to whether or not a reader should look at your article. The headings should also be keyword centric and use main keyword there.

  5. It is better to do some research on the best keywords to use in your articles before writing them. These keywords are the words that readers are most likely to use to find the information in your article. However don’t use too many keywords; too many of them make the article look like spam.

  6. It is better to write organized articles with bullets and numbers where possible. This helps in getting your message and point across to readers, and also makes the articles more readable.

  7. Make it a habit of proofreading your articles before publishing them. Bad writing and spelling and grammatical errors give you and your product or service a bad impression both in the eyes of readers and search engines bots.

    After proofreading, have friends and family go through the articles and listen to whatever comments they give. Sometimes a small but trivial improvement is sufficient to make a difference in the presentation of your article.

  8. The best place to place your articles is your website to strengthen the site content and build trust in your visitors. However if you have no website, then you have to make use of the many article directories on the internet. Many people visit these directories; so by publishing your articles in them, with a link to your website, you are sure to see an increase in website traffic.

  9. Include a resource box in your article describing and linking to your website.

  10. Use the help of social media sites, forums and discussions boards by pasting enough of your article to interest readers to click on the link leading to your website.

Friday, June 6th, 2008

What can online article marketing really do for you? It not only has the ability to get enough targeted traffic to your website but it will help you to build your brand. At the end of the day, it is all about product or service visibility and brand awareness. Only when your product or service has the required visibility, will it transform into a brand and bring in the moolah!

Article marketing is considered to be one of the most promising aspects of online marketing as well as SEO. There are several vehicles of online brand awareness but none of them are as cost effective as well as more powerful than article marketing.

Article marketing can be defined as a branch of advertising where businesses find keywords and use them in short articles that are related to the services or products offered by them or their industry on the whole. Once the articles have been written, they are made available for distribution as well as publication in the online marketplace.

Benefits of Article Marketing

Article marketing definitely has its own set of benefits especially for a start-up or small business. Some of the benefits that you can derive include:

1. Credibility: This is the first and foremost. If your business doesn’t get the required credibility then that will be the end. What article marketing can do is help increase your credibility. For eg: If you have a blog or a website that presents information regarding loans then you can always use numbers and statistics within your articles and yes the topic should have some credibility too. The more factual, relevant and to the point your article is, the higher will be your credibility.

2. Link popularity: This is one of the important aspects of search engines optimization and goes a long way to drive targeted traffic to your website. Providing links of your website as well as other websites related to the same industry will attract more clicks to your website as well as the article submission directories. For example: If you post your article on www.ezine.com with the link of your business and if your article is of high standard then you can expect a high rate of visitors to your website.

3. Search Engine Ranking: Sprinkling your articles with the highly rated keywords and adding a resource box at the end with your link or URL will ensure that internet user click on the links. The higher the number of clicks, the faster you will climb up the PageRank of some of the top search engines like Google, Yahoo, etc.

There are no immediate drawbacks of article marketing except the fact that if your article is not of high standard then you might not be able to get as many visitors. Secondly if you donot submit your article in the top directories that have high PageRank then it will be a lost cause. The crux of the matter is that article marketing is the cheapest way to get noticed and can boost your overall internet visibility as well as Page Rank.
