subject: SEO via Article Marketing [print this page] Article marketing is one of the top techniques for better SEO(search engine optimization) that you can use to increase your traffic, and better your website rank. Quite honestly, I have found article marketing (when it's done correctly) to be so effective with SEO, that I have created a branch in one of my companies solely for article marketing. I chose to not even do any other kind of SEO, rather I work with websites that are already optimized for search engines, but are not receiving the traffic or ranking that they would like. Too many people do a great job at basic SEO, so stepping beyond the competition will require some baller SEO strategies. I like to say that websites are like islands in the Internet Ocean. Links are like bridges. Relevant links are like bridges that bring relevant traffic.
Article marketing SEO strategies are simple to do, but they are very time consuming if you don't have the right setup. But if you want to be good, you can be good.
The first step in article marketing is to come up with the top 7-10 search terms, or keywords, that you would like search engines to list you under. Then write an article AROUND THOSE KEYWORDS, and at the end of the article, list a link that people can go to for more info. The articles do not have to be long. I would recommend 300-600 words.
Now you have to write variations of the article. Write at least 2 or 3 but make sure to use the same link. That was the fast part. Now you have to submit them to as many of the top article directories on the internet as you can. Each article is like a bridge that can increase traffic to your website. Search engines like Google, will see a bunch of articles (that are not the same, if you write variations) that reflect the keywords that were entered, and they are ALL POINTING TO THE SAME LINK! Therefore it MUST mean that the link you specified is very relevant to those keywords. AHA!
I have setup a system where clients who want better SEO, send us their articles and my team optimizes them, and submits them to an average of 80 of the top directories on the internet. The service is very inexpensive and much more efficient then to do it yourself. Almost invariably, at least one of the articles is on one of the first 2 pages of Google WITHIN HOURS! Over the next several days, more will start to appear. And when Google sends out its spiders, your website rank will increase dramatically.
Make no mistake...that's because we're the best in the world at article marketing. And we always will be.
