Article Marketing Will Bring Quality Results For A Website

If you are trying to make money from blogging or some other online venture there are certain things you must do if you are not to fail: you must get visitors and you must rank in the search engines. You can achieve both of these goals by paying for visitors at the search engines via pay per click or you can get visitors for free using article marketing.


The first thing you should do is research your article marketing subject. There are quite a few good keyword tools on the market to help you decide which keywords will bring you visitors but also you need to make sure there is not too much competition as well or you won't get good results in the search engines. Your keywords need to be related to your blog and be getting plenty of search queries but not tons of results. Read a more detailed post about keyword tools for a better understanding.

When you have researched your keywords you will need to use them in your articles title, a couple of times in the first paragraph, once or twice in the body and once again within the closing sentence for best results.

Always write for the reader when article marketing. In other words write it for people, not Google. Yes you can help it rank well by research and keyword tools but it's no good being number 1 in Google if no one reads the article. Keep your articles easy to read and to the point. Use bullets as they will get your major arguments over quicker.

When you are done, read it a few times and make sure it is both grammatically correct and that you have your keyword phrases in the right places. Once you have checked it, read it again, a few times. If it doesn't quite read correctly, rewrite the part and don't forget, while you may be an expert on the subject, your reader is not.

Your final paragraph in your article is the most important {part-section} but many who use article marketing miss the part all together. Your article gives the reader information that they have searched for but now you want them to want yet more info by visiting your blog. Make sure you make it clear the benefits of clicking and visiting your blog. "Click here for more info" won't work any more. Explain to them exactly why they should and what they can expect to find: a a more detailed article, a place where others interested in the topic hang out and chat etc.

Finally be particular where you submit your articles and it makes a huge difference if you rewrite it every time you submit it to a directory or blog feeder. Submit the first version to ezinearticles.com and wait for them to accept it before submitting it to the other article directories. This is because they are the best so get you most visitors but they never articles that have already been posted elsewhere.

Article marketing is still the easiest method of promoting a site without spending ridiculous amounts on PPC. Just one article every day means around close to a hundred articles on perhaps thousands of other sites in just three months from now all with links aimed at your blog.

For the ultimate bang in article marketing consider submitting your articles to Article Marketing Automation. The articles take longer to write but the benefits are ten times better than normal article marketing.
