Why Does Article Marketing Equal More Traffic?

July 26, 2009 by 2 Comments

If you want to know why article marketing equals more traffic to your website, then you’re obviously looking for a way to boost the profile of your website, right?

WordPress blogs (like this website) are an ideal platform for any business to promote their products and services because Google loves WordPress blogs for starters, and they’re also a great way to provide ongoing informative and educational content for your site visitors (for more information on how we can build you a blog similar to this one, please visit our Blogs page.

Having informative and educational content on your website gives the impression that you know your stuff, and if the content on your site is a high quality, then this gives the impression that your products or services will also reflect this quality.

Also, posting your articles to article directories will also provide backlinks to your website, boosting your traffic even further!

What I’ve said above hasn’t really answered the question about why article marketing equals more traffic though, has it?  Ok, well there are several reasons why this is so, as follows:

  • Posting to article directories on a regular basis (daily if you can) provides regular backlinks to your wesite, which boosts its popularity.  Submitting to several sites boosts it even further.
  • Posting to article directories also means that your articles might get found before your website does, but that is ok, as long as you have linked back to your website in that article or in the resource box provided!
  • Regularly updated content in your blog means the search engines come over to take a look more often.  This helps to boost your rankings.
  • Using specifically targeted keywords in your articles means that your chances of getting found by somebody searching for a specific term are improved.
  • By using a backlinking service to submit your links to bookmarking sites every time you post new content, you will dramatically improve your site rankings, and boost your traffic.

The key here is to consider what you would search for online if you were a potential prospect.  Keyword research is important here, and by incorporating highly targeted keywords into your blog posts and article headings, as well as submitting articles on a regular basis, you will definitely have some decent traffic coming your way!

Can I use Article Marketing to Promote Affiliate Products?

July 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment

Article marketing is a strategy used by many successful internet marketers as a means to attract prospects to their websites. Many internet marketers who do not have their own products also find that article marketing helps them to promote and sell affiliate products and following similar strategies to the one below, many experience amazing results!

Most affiliate products are digital downloadable products such as ebooks, online courses, audios or videos, although the concept remains the same regardless of the type of product it is.

How affiliate marketing works is that the owner of the product pays you a commission for every one of their products you sell on their behalf.  Many pay up to 75% of the price of the product, so affiliate marketing can be quite lucrative if you know what you doing!  The more you sell, the more commission you can make!

One strategy for marketing affiliate products is through article marketing.  Article marketing is really just marketing through the use of well-written, informative articles.  These articles are usually placed on your website or blog, or on article directories as a means to promote your expertise, products or services.

To use article marketing to promote affiliate products, here are a few things you need to do in order to generate traffic to your website and make sales, three of which are listed below:

  • Once your website (preferably a WordPress blog – Click HERE for info) is set up, it is important that you post articles to your site every day for up to 30 days.  Each article should be interesting and informative.  You don’t have to do the hard sell in these articles.  But one thing to remember is this:  You need to provide some value to your readers. They are there to find a solution to their problem.  If you are able to help them in some way, then you build credibility and they are more likely to buy from you.
  • Be sure to include your keywords in the heading, the first and last paragraphs, and at least two more times throughout the article.  At the end of each post, include a “call to action” (Eg. “To find out more about how X can help you, click here…”) and a link to your affiliate product.
  • Submit a variation of your articles to an article directory such as Ezine Articles. Ezine Articles have some strict rules around putting links to affiliate products in your articles.  The bottom line is, you cannot do it.  Instead, provide a link to your blog.  Also, the content MUST be unique.
  • Build as many backlinks to your website or blog as you can.  These are only three of the many things you can do to use article marketing to promote affiliate products but as you can see, there are many benefits to be gained by doing so.

If you’re not a writer or really don’t have the time to write so many articles, then our reasonably priced and high quality Writing Services might help.

How can backlinks help me?

July 16, 2009 by Leave a Comment

When building a website you are obviously doing so with the intention of attracting traffic to that website so that you can promote your products or services.

If nobody finds your website then you are going to find yourself with a whole lot of trouble!  What’s the point of having a website if nobody visits it?

For many business owners like yourself, the way to attract traffic to your website is either a bit of a mystery or it seems a little too complicated, but it really doesn’t have to be that way, although there are many strategies to help your website ranking in the search engines.  One such strategy is using backlinks.

Backlinks are essentially links to your website that are posted on other websites that you don’t necesarily own.  The more links you have pointing to your website, the better your site ranking, and the better your site ranking, the better your chances are of people finding your website in the search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN (to name a few).

Creating backlinks is a time-consuming process and in order to achieve optimum results, the process of building links to your site sometimes needs to be an ongoing process to get your rankings up and then keep them there.

If you’re like most business owners, then you really don’t have the time (or the inclination) to spend hours upon hours in front of your computer first learning how to do it, then going and creating backlinks to your site.  So that’s where I come in and take over this tedious task.

Michelle thank you. Wow.

Michelle was truly wonderful to have as my writer for the 5 articles I needed which ranged from fitness, heath to marketing. Michelle’s research on the subject matters are thorough and my articles were written with true value to the readers. We all want true value for our readers and Michelle delivered that on each article.

The articles flowed and were written in a way that anyone could understand.

She is easy to work with, committed, professional and yet personable.

During our time working together we had constant communication and feedback between us. She showed genuine concern regarding my concerns and the articles. She did not stop until she had completed all articles to my satisfaction.

I couldn’t ask for a better person to work with. She provides reasonable pricing and does outstanding work, and I highly recommend Michelle for an excellent job!
