Link domination of a keyword or phrase is a critical area that anyone intent on making money online must master. Link domination is a key element of the article marketing basics that are the foundations upon which your success depends. One tenet of article marketing demands that you get inbound links to your site. Without these links your chance of reaching page one of Google is slim. The question is; should you go after quality links from high ranking sites or should you use a link by numbers campaign?
Good quality high PR links can be difficult to source, not impossible, but definitely hard to come by. Creative thinking is often necessary to overcome this problem area especially if you own a low PR site. A few things you can do are:
Write a rich content laden article that attracts links and citations
Create a controversial video or posting that attracts attention
Organise a competition that appeals to your niche readership
Write for high page rank directories that allow Dofollow links in articles
Of all the links that you will receive none will help you better than a link from a high PR site, so much so that you must devote a large portion of your marketing to getting more of them. The trust and authority that will leak through to your own site is essential to your long term success.
Link by Numbers
However, the fastest way for a new marketer to gain backlinks is the simplest strategy of all article writing. Take a 400 word article, make it keyword relevant, point your keyword anchor text towards the page that you intend to promote and submit it to an article directory.
End of story. No. This is where your online article writing strategy must be tightly focused. To get even the smallest of returns from this technique you have to reach the greatest number of potential publishers. Fortunately there are article submission services that have large lists of potential publishers just waiting to republish your article.
Article Distribution Services
A couple of free to use services include:
Contentpromote.com
Articlesbud.com
The free services are limited. They offer only one URL link attribution per article and you are limited to the number of articles that you can submit daily.
A few of the paid services include:
iSnare.com
contentcrooner.com
distributeyourarticles.com
There will be some overlap between the various services and depending on what topics you are targeting you may prefer one or more of these services. Each service offers unique extras that you may or may not find useful. My advice would be to try them out for a month or two and see what results you get.
Conclusion
Article submission services are critical to getting your message out. Write articles with content that publishers find irrisistible and you will be on a winning ticket. One or two big blasts each week will see significant movement in your articles position in Google. Just don't forget to get some good high PR links as well.
