Are Your Articles Packing A Punch with Targeted Traffic?

September 16th, 2008

Article marketing is a very effective way to bring the targeted traffic you want right to your doorstep. Learning how to make effective articles is a key to getting free advertising and free Website traffic.

With a few good articles in the right place, you can:

  • Create inbound links
  • Raise your PR
  • Increase Web traffic
  • Make money online.

Understanding your best keywords in the first place, and using them in your article marketing, will bring your targeted site traffic. But it takes more than just keywords to take your visitors from your articles to your Web site.

Article marketing is good as a Web promotion only if it can move your reader from the article to your Web site. The key to that lies in a good Bio Box and how it is written.

How to Use Article Marketing To Promote Your Product

July 25th, 2008

Article marketing is still effective and certainly one of the least expensive ways to market your Web site, and it is probably also the longest lasting. As long as your quality articles are online, you will continue to bring traffic to your Web site. Here are some tips about writing articles for your article marketing campaigns.

Write Quality Articles for Information

The first thing about writing articles that will bring traffic is that you must offer some solid content - not fluff. This means it needs to have some information in it that will lead the reader to conclude that your Web site also has desirable information. Remember that the reader may read other articles from other people - and not just yours.

Write Unique Articles to Increase Visibility

Your article writing needs to focus on content that is a little different than the ordinary. Instead of choosing a title something like What You Need to Know About Breast Cancer, which is ordinary, you should try something like, Five Things You Need to Be Doing Now to Avoid Breast Cancer. Although the subject matter may be basically the same, the one title will definitely get a reader’s attention more than the other one.

Let your marketing article focus on the general topic that your product deals with - rather than the product itself. People can tell when you are writing a sales pitch. You simply want to get people to your Web site who are interested in the subject, and then let them decide to buy the product. Leave pushiness out of the article writing process.

Aim for Targeted Traffic

This leads to the group that you are going to target in your articles. Targeted traffic requires that you know exactly whom you want to write for. Narrow your keywords down specifically to the people that you believe are your best market. You can also target a wider audience, but be sure to have some that grab your key market group directly.

Follow Your Article Marketing Strategy Faithfully

Once you start to submit articles online, you want to continue publishing them on a regular basis - preferably weekly. When you use article marketing, watch your Web site statistics to see which articles bring you the most people that actually buy. Then, take a little time to tweak your articles, and write more using those keywords in order to bring even more traffic and increase sales.

Article marketing works, but these basic principles will need to be followed. Keep up with it. You can also buy your original articles from others, which will save you time and enable you to publish new articles on a regular basis.

How to Get Started With Article Marketing

June 23rd, 2008

Promoting your Web site with article marketing is a very effective way of getting your message out. One well-written article can bring a lot of traffic your way and it can bring the targeted traffic you want, too. Here are some basic tips about article marketing and how to get started using it effectively.

What Is It?

Article marketing is the placing of articles on the topic of your choice at article distribution Web sites with the intent to have people find them in the search engines. Once they read it, they can click on the link to your Web site. It can be very effective if you have a powerful title and good content in the article.

How Does It Work?

Marketing articles works because of three great features of the Internet:

  • People use it for information
  • People use keywords to find information
  • People love articles that provide the right information

In addition to these things, though, is that an article can keep on drawing people to your Web site for years - if it is well written! Besides that - it is free!

What Are the Key Elements of A Good Article?

When you write your niche articles, you want to carefully select the keywords that you are going to use. Generic keywords will bring far less traffic simply because there are so many others that are using those same keywords. The right keywords - which mean that not a lot of people are using them - will bring the right traffic. Do your research.

What Makes A Good Article Marketing Strategy?

The best article marketing strategy involves placing articles on your Web site and on article distributors Web sites. Be sure to have a fantastic title that will attract, and then keep them there by providing interesting and valuable information in the article. A great signature box will raise their curiosity and promise them more. You want to put out a minimum of 2 new articles each week, but 5 would be better.

What Should Be Avoided?

Article marketing will not be very effective if you fail to put a dynamic title on it – or if you do not edit your article carefully. It is the title that will draw people to pick your article out of a list of search engine results. Also, the search engines may have a difficult time of finding your article, too, if you don’t use keywords properly.

Where Can You Get New Articles?

You can get a supply of fresh content and marketing articles to help you make money online through one of three ways:

  • Buy PLR articles - be sure to rewrite them as your own. (See my PLR List here)
  • Buy unique articles already written - see my main page.
  • Order your own original articles from Article Marketing - from this page.

For more information on article marketing be sure to look at my book on Article Writing Super Secrets.

What Are Your Article Marketing Goals?

April 2nd, 2008

Putting out as many articles as you can is not the best use of your articles. Instead of having a single goal, you would do much better if you had multiple goals for each article. I have talked about this in previous posts, but now want to focus more on how to make your article marketing even more effective.

Aim High for Best Possible Performance

It should never be your goal to just get articles out there. Even if you are only looking to increase page rank, you can still add in additional purposes, which will give you a far better performance out of your articles.

By making each article of your article marketing campaign to be top notch, your articles will bring in far more people to your Web site than if you simply plopped a dozen fluff articles out there in cyberspace. Determine to get the most mileage out of each article you write or post.

Study For Best Performance Techniques

You are obviously reading this because you want to learn more. However, while you are here, let me say that you should learn all you can about the best form of article writing, and what it is that grabs people and holds them until they finish. If your articles are not getting the performance out of them that you expect - or want, then there may be more that you could learn.

Learn the best techniques and then put them into your own article writing. Study articles that attract your attention to discover what makes them so attractive. Copy those techniques. Practice putting them into your own articles. Don’t be satisfied with half-hearted article writing that does not reflect your best. Remember that people will decide whether or not to visit your Web site based on what they read.

Tweak until That Performance Level Is Reached

Once your article is out there, watch how it performs. Don’t just let it sit there. If it is not getting the attention you think it should after about a week, tweak it some until it does. This is far more effective than writing another one since it takes less time. It also makes sure that each article you have written is drawing traffic to your Web site.

The most important thing is to make sure your title is an attention-grabber. Then, your article will need to be written in such a way so as to keep that attention until he or she is finished with it.

While not every article will be as good as another, by striving for better and best performance, you may be pleasantly surprised what only a few good articles could do. After all, isn’t that why the Marines only need a few good men?

The Effects Created By Article Marketing

March 8th, 2008

If you have been reading my comments up to this point , then you know that I believe article marketing is one of the best ways to get traffic. The key, though, is to have good content, a good title, and something extra good at your Web site.

Writing a good article only takes a little longer than a fluff article, because of research and extra editing, but it is worth it in the long run. Here are some quick reasons:

1. It Keeps On Working For You

As long as people are interested in your subject, it will continue to send some people your way.

2. The Effect Is Cumulative

Each article you put out there will help to bring more people. The first ones keep working - and so does the last one. The key is that it needs to be good material. Soon, the bigger crowds you will see coming to your Web site.

3. It Builds More Links

Every article gives you more links than you had earlier. This also makes article marketing a great tool for better search engine ranking.

4. It Provides Name Recognition

As I mentioned in my last post, each well-written article will give you more credibility. Before long, you will start to gain a following. This can lead to even more traffic - and sales.

Right now, though, I’d like to give you a link for a product that will tremendously help you get started with your writing. Not just any writing, though, and not even just writing articles. This Ebook will show you how to get the most profit from your writing - and will show you how to do it quickly. Go here now to learn more. All the details are in the Web page.

5 Hot Tips On Getting Your Article Read

March 4th, 2008

Marketing your product or Web site with article marketing can be a time consuming task. The truth is, though, that we all have the same amount of hours in a day as everyone else. That means that your time and your articles need to count as much as possible. It also means that your articles need to be read by as many people as possible.

While writing articles is a great way to market your Web site, if you have been reading my posts here, then you know that I strongly believe in getting my articles to do a double duty. I expect my articles in my article marketing campaigns to build links for me and to bring visitors. I do not intend to sacrifice one for the other - and here are some ways you can get your articles read and have the traffic to follow.

1. Create A Title That Demands Reading

This is not hard to do, but it will take some effort to get it right. Look over other articles and be conscious of which titles you want to read - and why. Give your titles some serious thought, and avoid simply slapping a few words up there that are related to your topic.

2. Get Your Reader’s Attention Immediately

People on the Internet want information and they want it fast and to the point. Any less than that and you have lost them after just a couple of sentences. Humor will help to keep them, however, and so will good writing and writing from the heart. In the first few words of your article, however, you need to grab their attention and work to hold it until the end of the article. When it does that, one of two things will happen:

  • They will look for more articles by you if it is at an article distribution Web site
  • They will follow your links to your Web site.

3. Say Something Worth Reading

If you put fluff out there, you will not get people to your Web site. If all they can expect is fluff - why should they bother? This is one of my beefs against simply writing lite stuff for the search engines. Good article marketing is viral and fluff won’t cut it.

If you are selling information - then your articles should show that you have some information worth getting. Otherwise, if I find a fluff article out there written by you, I will have a hard time believing you have information I really want to pay for.

4. Promise More

When your article has something to say, then I can believe that there is more to be said than what could be included in one article. If the article offers solid content and is well-written, then I (and most other people) will read your Bio and promotional clip and follow your links. We’d be glad to do it, too.

5. Build A Reputation

Here is a real serious downside to fluff articles. I notice myself doing this and - if you are honest - I think you do it, too. As I look for serious information and read articles on various subjects, I notice the author’s name. Pay attention to what I am saying here.

When I see fluff, I am less likely to read something by that same author again. After all, that fluff article tells me he or she either does not think their readers are worth giving real information to, or they just don’t have real information to give - they are not an expert. You are building your own reputation (brand) with each article you put out there. You might get higher rankings from search engines, but what of your reputation?

Article marketing is more than just getting articles out there in cyberspace. Your reputation (brand) is also at stake. Build right, then, and build solid with each article you write (or that you have somebody write for you).
