How Long To see results with article marketing?
You could see results after a few days if your articles are exceptionally good. On the other hand, if you are just submitting articles left and right that is just "filler" content for the search engines, you are going to wait a long time before you see any result - most likely it won't be worth it at all.
You should also understand that article marketing is just one of many methods used to market an online business website - it is not really a business in itself. Yes, I know a lot of people will say that it is, but the fact is you will get much better results if you compound your efforts into your own authority website, instead of just submitting a lot of individual articles.Do not over use keywords within the body, Make sure you content matches what your title is about and do not leave affiliate links within the body of your articles.
In article marketing, how many articles should you write for a niche to be successful?
The number of articles does not guarantee the success of a niche. You need to research keywords to find niches where there are a lot of searches, and also that those searches are by buyers. Google is searching for unique content, do not forget this. Once you find your niche, you need to either have your own product to sell or be an affiliate for someone else's product. Then you can begin writing articles and posting them on article sites.
The more articles you publish in the niche, the better. And of course, once you publish some, continuing with a steady stream of them each month helps also. Do not forget to use tags it will improve your article's rankings.
Does it really work?
From a SEO point of view, article marketing is a great deal of work for very little return. Articles will receive most of their traffic directly from the article sites themselves. This traffic can be very thin or nonexistent. Mass article submissions are a waste of time and can get your site penalized in Google. You will not rank any page or site through article marketing alone.
From a marketing point of view, a well researched and written article can reach the top of the search engines for long tail phrases. So, title your articles similar to long tail phrases that are provided on WordTracker. Don't guess what people are searching for, find out what they are searching for and tailor your writing around those subjects.
The traffic will still be thin but the visitors will be targeted and those are the ones that convert.
