Article Marketing

If you have a website and you want to attract visitors to your site, either earn some Google Adsense money or to get someone to buy your goods or services, you should write some articles and submit them to article directories. You can have a link in the content and one in the resource box back to your site, this will give you some quality backlinks that will raise the profile of your site in the search engines, and it will bring targeted traffic to your blog or website.

You don't have to write long articles, 300-400 words is ideal and articles that provide tips or how tos are best. People love reading articles that tell them how to do something or give them information on something, and which is clearly written and easy to read off the screen. Using articles to promote a website or a product is not a new idea, people have been doing it for quite some time because it works.

Not everyone has either the time or the flair for writing simple articles and submitting them to a number of article directories. If you have a bit of cash to spare it is well worth your time to pay a writer to produce and submit the articles for you. It won't take long before you page rank improves and you get the sort of traffic to your site that is interested in buying your goods or services. If you only submit to a few sites then use Ezine Articles, Go Articles and Article Alley as these directories are the most widely read.

Yet another way of using article marketing to promote your site and to make some residual income, is to submit articles to sites like Triond and Bukisa where you not only get backlinks but also a share in advertising revenue based on the number of page views your articles receive. Article marketing makes good business sense, and because Google loves fresh and interesting content, it can raise the page ranking of your site.
