I’d like to talk a little about article marketing. Article marketing has long been a favourite method of gaining traffic and back links to many a web-site. It is not as effective as it use to be but it is still VERY Worthwhile.

I would also like to take this opportunity to clarify a few issues around duplicate content. You see, the old method of submitting your articles to as many article directories as possible has recently come under a lot of scrutiny, as Matt Cutts from Google started to talk about duplicate content penalties.

Well, as always, it pays to test. So, here’s what I did. I tested three different methods:

1. I created one article and posted it on my site to an ‘orphan’ page i.e. not linked in. I then wrote another article and linked that to that page. I then submitted that article to Ezine.

2. On another orphan page, I created another article and then posted that same article to Ezine articles.

3. On another orphan page, I created another article and then posted that same article to Ezine PLUS every other article directory.

I then placed tracking code on each of my 3 pages and waited. The results are not what I expected at all…and if you don’t get this right then you are going to waste a heap of time, effort and money following the wrong strategy. So, this is what happened:

Method 3 outperformed methods 1 and 2 by a ratio of 10:1 ! Yes, article marketing the old way is still the most effective in terms of traffic generation!! You also get more links, despite what the gurus say. So, just how many links and visitors can you expect from article writing?

Lest say you write 142 articles and submitted them to Ezine. You will most likely become a platinum level author so this is reasonable test size:

Those articles could be viewed 74,000 times, around 500 times each. They have been published 1508 times, which in theory generates around 10 links per article. They have also generated 2745 visitors, around 20 visitors per article.

Now, of course, it depends on your market, but if you allocate a dollar value to those (highly targeted) visitors and links then you should be able to come up with a sound financial argument to keep on article marketing. When you add all the visitors and links received from the other article directories and web-sites then it’s a no brainer. Enough said.

When it comes to article marketing and writing articles, many times just coming up with the ideas is the most difficult part. For this reason private label write articles have become popular amongst Internet marketers. In this article let’s take look at three reasons PLR articles can help your Internet business.

1. First of all using private label write articles is beneficial because it will give you ideas on what to write about. What we are suggesting is that you take the PLR articles and rewrite them, or use them to create totally new articles.

This is not as hard to do as you might think. For one thing you can take an existing article and change around the order of some of the bullet points just to create a new article that way. You can also re-write articles and change the primary key words and synonyms within the sentences themselves.

If you have any doubt on how unique you are making an article you can use a copy scape software and paste in the original and compare it with the new article version you just wrote. This will allow you to see areas where you can still improve on the article itself.

2. If you blog, you can take private label write articles and paste them into the blog exactly as is. This is a quick way to add content on a consistent basis when you do not have time or feel like blogging. Keeping content coming into your blog on a regular basis is important and private label write articles really help with that.

3. One final thing we want to mention about private label write articles is you can take them and package them to create new products. It is always a good idea to take these articles and rework them to make them unique and reflect your own personality.

For example you could take a package of 10 articles and rework those to create an ebook that you sell and keep all the profits for yourself. You could also create an ecourse, and put it into an autoresponder for follow-up to your mailing list subscribers. You could use the ecourse as an incentive for someone to sign up for your newsletter.

This is three reasons private label right articles can help your Internet business. Almost every successful Internet marketer uses PLR articles in one way or another, and you may as well use them too.

Do you currently manually submit your articles to get them online? Perhaps you should consider using an article submission service! In this article, let’s take a look at 4 reasons to use an article submission service and make your marketing efforts more effective.

1. When you manually submit an article you are limited to the number of articles that you can submit based on the amount of time available to you. Generally what happens is you pick a handful of your favorite ones and those are the only directories that you submit to. When you use an article submission service you can reach hundreds of directories in less time than you can reach doing it manually.

2. One thing to consider with your article marketing efforts is are you targeting search engines or are you writing for traffic. If you’re writing for traffic, then the more article directories you submit to the more potential traffic you can receive.

Therefore, it only stands to reason that using an article submission service to get your article into hundreds of directories will give you more possibilities for traffic. You are not concerned about what a search engine thinks in regards to duplicate content penalties, because you are writing for traffic.

3. Article submission services are very easy to use. As a matter of fact, you can submit an article 1 time with them just as easy as you can go in manually submit to one directory. Anyone currently manually submitting articles can join and use a submission service.

4. Using an article submission service is very cost effective. There are different ways you can do this, but the service themselves usually allows you to pay on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. Some of them even offer lifetime memberships, which is a good route to take if you find one that you are using on a consistent basis.

If you prefer to buy article submission software you can do that as well. For example one of the most popular software on the market today is Article Submitter Pro. They allow you to quickly submit your articles one at a time to hundreds of article directories.

To speed the process up, you can target the directories you want to submit based on the page rank of them. For example, you can target directories with a page rank of PR3 or higher, and submit to over a hundred of them in less than an hour. This way you are assured of getting your articles into the top article directories on the Internet today.

Regardless of how you do it in submitting articles via an article submission service or software is the most effective way to get your articles on the Internet today.

I believe that the debate on whether article marketing is effective or not is over. For people who do it correctly article marketing can be a tremendous source of quality traffic. In this article let’s take a look at six article marketing tips that can make your use of articles more effective.

1. Be consistent in how you market with articles. As is the case with many things online, it is easy to get enthused about something, but then stop doing it when it becomes more like work.

The key to having a successful article marketing campaign is to constantly have articles in the marketplace working on your behalf. You cannot do this by writing five articles one week and then taking two weeks off before you write your next one.

2. The more the merrier is better when it comes to article marketing. You can never have too many articles driving traffic to your website. For this reason you want to get as many articles online as fast as possible.

3. Use an article submission service to target multiple directories. Manually submitting one article a time can be okay if you are getting them into the right directories, but if your goal is to drive traffic to your website from an article you want to be in as many directories as you possibly can.

4. Do not be afraid to hire writers to write articles for you. Even if you are a good writer, and enjoy writing, you only have so many hours in the day to write. As your business becomes more and more profitable it is to your benefit to find a good writer and hire them to write for you every week.

5. Learn from your mistakes and improve. Although you do not have to write articles that win a Pulitzer prize, you do want to write articles that are informative, and contain good grammar and proper spelling. Over time, you will become a better writer, if you take the time to see what mistakes you have made in the past.

6. Do not expect results overnight. With the exception of a pay per click advertising campaign, very few Internet marketing advertising generates immediate results. The key with article marketing is that you continue to do it on a consistent basis and are patient. With this type of an attitude you will see results over the long haul.

This is six article marketing tips that will improve your efforts when it comes to using articles to market your business.

Writing articles has become one of the most talked about forms of marketing on the Internet today. Even the most talented article writers do not do all of their own writing. Here are a few reasons why you should hire an article writer to build your Internet marketing business.

1. First of all from a time standpoint, you can accomplish more whenever you delegate some of your marketing efforts. If you personally can write 10 articles a week, you could double that by hiring a writer to write 10 articles as well.

2. Hiring an article writer does not have to be as expensive as you might think. It is possible to hire a writer and pay between $5 and $10 for an article depending on the number of words in it.

3. If you use article marketing to drive traffic to your website you are not as concerned with an article from a search engine optimization standpoint. Therefore you really just need an article to zero in on a specific theme that solves the problem for your reader.

You can hire an article writer to do this for you and pay them to crank out multiple articles every day. You can still craft your own quality resource box and submit the articles manually to top directories or to an article submission service yourself.

4. There are times when you may hit the wall when it comes to writing articles. If you are busy doing other things within your business writing articles can get pushed aside.

This is a bad idea because article marketing has become so valuable to some of the most successful Internet marketers. By hiring a writer you will always have articles being written on a consistent basis, whether you feel like doing it or not.

5. You may personally be able to sit down and write quickly on topics that you know a lot about already. As you begin to branch your Internet business into other niches, creating articles may take more time from a research standpoint.

This is another reason to hire an article writer, because you can pay them so much for each article regardless of the theme. In this way your article marketing efforts can pay off because you can use your valuable time to concentrate on other aspects of marketing your business online.

This is a few reasons why you should hire an article writer. There are literally thousands of quality writers waiting to be hired. You can Google search the words “article writer” and come up with many quality ones just in the first couple pages of Google.

If you have an Internet business you are probably looking for different ways to market it online. There are many different ways to let the public know about your business! Here are three ways to market your Internet business with articles that you may not be currently doing.

1. Surprisingly there are a high number of Internet marketers who still do not have a blog. This may be the most effective way to market your Internet business using articles today.

Writing a blog post does not have to be an overwhelming thing to do. As a matter of fact, 250 to 300 word articles are perfect for bloggers.

The way you market your business with these blogs is to socially bookmark each blog posts to individual social directories such as Propeller, Stumbleupon, Digg, and so on. There is a website known is Onlywire.com where you can bookmark to 20 directories with one click.

A well written article in a blog can drive traffic to your blog as well as serve as search engine bait too. If you do not have a blog you should get one and start marketing your Internet business with articles in it right away.

2. Ezine advertising is still an effective way to get traffic to your business, but that does cost money. One way to utilize other people’s subscriber base without paying for it used to write articles for their newsletters.

Ezine publishers are constantly on the lookout for quality articles to offer their subscribers. If you work at this, over a period of time you can develop your own list of ezine publishers that you can personally write for and drive traffic to your Internet business.

3. One final way to utilize articles to market your Internet business is to trade content with other webmasters. This is a unique form of training links without actually doing it in a reciprocal linking directory.

You can write blog content for them and trade by putting their articles in your blog, or you can create unique web pages and trade articles that way.

Traditionally people think about utilizing articles by publishing them in article directories. Of course this is a great idea and you should make that a part of your article marketing strategy.
