subject: Article Marketing Backlinks, Search Engine Ranking, And Traffic All For Free? [print this page] Article marketing is perhaps the most reliable and most powerful form of internet marketing of all time.
It's reliable, it's free, it's easy, and it WORKS!
What I'd like to talk to you about today is a few easy ways that you can take advantage of the easiness of article writing for profit, and hopefully in doing so give you some ideas about what you can do to further (or begin!) your internet marketing career.
#1 Probably the easiest way to make a really decent amount of money with article marketing is to actually be a free lance writer. If you're a beginner this is especially great, because not only are you writing articles for money, you're also learning HOW to write articles, and you're learning a lot about internet marketing, since you'll be helping other successful marketers campaigns.
I know that this isn't directly article marketing, in that you're actually not marketing anything (except yourself I suppose) but it's just SO easy, and so many people don't realize it's a viable option. You can often get paid at least $5 per article, so if you can write English well at all, you can make some cash.
#2 Marketing using articles is probably the best free method available of getting traffic. Think about it...You write an article, you publish it, people read it, they click on your link, and they go to your site where they (hopefully) buy something. It's a really easy process, and like I said...FREE!
And, if you can get your articles indexed in the search engines, then you'll be getting TONS of free traffic, as people will find your article in google and you'll keep getting clicks!
#3 Perhaps the most powerful thing about article marketing is it's back link building ability. Basically, article directories WANT you to be a part of their high PR, highly ranked, web sites...Which means that every one of your articles holds a lot of weight in google, making them powerful links.
If you've never tried using article marketing for back links...Well, let's just say I suggest you give it a try!
I hope that you can see the benefits of article marketing...It really is a great tool, and one that shouldn't be disregarded without first considering what all it can do for you.!
