Using Article Marketing To Build Sales & Traffic
Almost every marketer talks about article marketing these days. It has become a chief strategy for Internet. Due in part to the popularity of the “bum marketing” method, article marketing has two significant characteristics: it works, and it’s free.
Article marketing provides Internet marketers with two important benefits. First, it creates wider exposure for the author and their website. Secondly, it provides valuable inbound links or IBL’s.
As with most bum marketing techniques, article marketing is a numbers game. In order to be effective, it requires ongoing and consistent effort. One article submission may not do much for you, but one article submitted every day for two weeks provides an overall benefit greater than the sum of its parts.
To get the most out of your article submission strategy, it’s important to focus on one indivudual keyword or phrase for each individual article. It’s also very important to optimize each article, in much the same way you would optimize a website. Once an article is submitted, it becomes a one-page mini site.
SEO each article the same way you would SEO a web page. Begin the article headline, summary, and first paragraph with it, include it in the last paragraph, and be sure to use it for the anchor text in your link and/or resource box.
Taking those few simple steps will insure were that you get the maximum return for your effort. While article marketing should be one part of a multipronged approach, it can be extremely effective and extremely inexpensive.
