Because submitting your content to article directories will get you permanent backlinks to your site right away! Not only will people get to read your articles, but if they find them valuable they are most likely to click the links you inserted and be directed to your home page. And some of the websites that publish your articles usually rank high in search engines and if you do your article the way you are supposed to, you have great chances of getting your website seen.
OK then, what strategies should I use for article marketing?
First of all, you don't make an article just to add some content to your website. When you write, you should do it about specific subjects and with the purpose of offering useful data on those subjects, that is the only way you will attract people's attention.
Before you start making an article, think about what you want to write about and do your keyword research!
Most internet marketers write some content, put some tags in there and just throw the article out there hoping for the best.
And then
Well, they don't get a lot of reward from their work.
Why?
Because you can't make an article on the topic "network marketing" and hope to get to the first page of Google. Do you know how many results a search on this term returns? About 140 million! To work your way up to the first page of those results, you need an excellent article and a website with a high page rank.
Professionals think about the topic they want to write about, do their keyword research first and decide what phrases they want to target. Only after completing these steps can the actual writing of the article begin!
For starters, the best keywords (and key phrases in particular) are those that get less than 300 searches every day. Then you will stand a better chance for your content to reach a wider audience.
It's true that phrases like "network marketing secrets" and "network marketing tips" only get a mere 150 searches a day. But fewer search results also means less competition for your page and therefore a stronger chance of being featured amongst the first of these results.
How do you get keyword ideas?
There is a thing called Google Keyword Tool! It's free, just Google it up.
Choose your keywords wisely and contemplate the purpose of your article. Is it sufficiently persuasive? Is it mobilizing your readers? You need to ask yourself those questions and only if their answers are affirmative can you expect your content to beget traffic for your website.
Usually, article marketing sites include a resource box where you can add a link or two to beckon the readers to the original location of the article. Put yourself in the readers' shoes and make the most of that space.
What do they expect to find there? If you were in their place, what would be the thing you would like to read that could make you click on that link to find out more?
If you see to it that your every article from here on in adheres to these standards, you should soon witness your sites climb high in the page ranks.
