Using the article marketing strategy to promote your blog can work wonders for you. I have always used it and I have seen it deliver. It is easy and free. You need to sign up with article directories and start writing and submitting articles for free.
You should however avoid spinning articles as they can spoil your image as a blogger( remember you need people to come to your blog). Google have also been keen lately to remove this form of spam from their index. So just sit down and write a good article if you need results.
Here are some reasons why using article marketing could be the best thing to happen to your blog.
Articles can go viral- Articles are normally given by these article directories free for republishing. That means if you write a good article you get lots of web publishers wanting to use it. The article source link promotes your article and can get more people coming for it. In a short time you could be having thousands of links pointing to your site.
Getting quality backlinks- The likes of Articlebase and Ezinearticles are authorities on their own. By submitting articles you get free backlinks from a trusted high page rank site. You even get to choose the anchor text in the backlink. This can very easily lead to better ranking by the search engine and increase of traffic from them.
Helps build credibility and trust- If people know you by reading your articles they are more likely to trust your site compared to a visitor arriving via the search engines. You also get to use the author resource box to market yourself.
Gets you free traffic- Without traffic your blog cannot grow. You can't even make money out of it. If your articles get ranked well by the search engines, you can easily get lots of traffic coming to your site. Articles republished elsewhere will also bring you free visitors to your site.
Gives exposure to your blog- There is no simpler way for people to notice your blog than this. Article directories are already established and hence get lots of visitors. If your article is good people will want top know more about the author and whether there is more where that article came from. They will surely come to your blog, maybe sign up for your newsletter, rss feed etc. You can very easily get loyal readers.
Article marketing can very easily make your blog grow by leaps and bounds. Every serious blogger has a reason to try it.
