You might have a great website, but if you're showing up on the third page of Google, it doesn't really matter. No one will find you. You have to get listed on the first page of Google results if you don't want to spend a ton of money on pay-per-click advertising.
So what's the secret? Well, you definitely need help with your SEO strategy and marketing plan. And the easiest, quickest, and most cost effective form of SEO is article marketing. Back links are the key to rising quickly in the search engines, and there is no better way to get back links than article marketing.
Why is article marketing such an effective SEO technique? Because it's simple (read: inexpensive) and yields results quickly, giving you an excellent return on your investment. Step 1: Write an article on a topic related to your business a topic your customers would care about. Include two links back to your website. Step 2: Submit that article to numerous online article directories. Step 3: Wait and watch as webmasters desperate for fresh content for their own sites grab your article and place it on their site, complete with your two back links. Step 4: Your Google rankings start to rise as you get credit for those back links.
Consistency is key. We recommend submitting numerous articles each month to the various article directories. That allows your content to remain fresh, and the search engines will see that you are growing and consistently adding more back links. If you don't have the time to write the articles on a regular basis yourself, hire someone else to do it.
Don't make the mistake of submitting the exact same article to every article directory on the internet. Tweak the articles so you are submitting different articles to each directory. Yes, it's more work, but you will get much better results.
Is it easy to get lots of traffic to your website? No, but it doesn't have to be incredibly difficult either. Too many times we see an amazing, well-designed website with no traffic. That doesn't add to your bottom line. So don't wait: start planning your SEO / Article Marketing strategy today. Either write the articles yourself, or outsource the work to a qualified writer or SEO firm. The results will more than pay for themselves.
