subject: Using Article Marketing As Your Only Marketing Tactic? [print this page] So the question to be answered today: Is Article Marketing the only marketing method you should be using to promote your websites? I can tell you from first hand experience that since starting SEO articles by far bring in a majority of our traffic. By this I mean over 90% of it. But the trick here is to write a lot of articles. Maybe it first it might sound like I'm trying to ask you to gear off and go to the next war. But it really doesn't have to be that hard. The reason Article Marketing works so well is because every single article you write you create another path to your website.
Plus the more article you write, the more auto bloggers will pick them up and link you from different IP addresses. The truth is the entire Internet will always run on content in one way or another. Some people think there could be a transcendental shift in this and that to get your site ranked you'll need so many relevant sites linking to you to stay around for the long term. However, this can be done simply by writing articles and submitting them to the major article directories. I have proof this works and I can give you one example with one site I run in the Network Marketing Niche.
My objective isn't to promote that site here, so you can google us and find it. My point is about 3 years ago we wrote and submitted about 750 articles (over the last 3 years) all pointing to our Network Marketing Blog. I haven't written any articles for that particular blog in the last year, except maybe a few. However just about everyday it seems a new website has picked up one of our articles from the popular article directories and pinged us. This provides great value for the article directories and us. That particular blog has almost 11,000 external backlinks and gets an average of 700 visitors per day, and we're enjoying the monetary benefits that site is currently bringing us. It's even helping us expand our operations even further.
Here's a hint you may be able to take to the bank within the next year. What are you truly good at or excel in? Have you ever thought about how far you're business would go if you could write 3-5 articles each and every day? That's 500 articles in the next 100 days. Even if you just wrote 2 per day that's still over 700 articles within a year. So whatever your business is currently, just start writing related articles about it and start posting them to all the article directories. Within a couple weeks they will start getting indexed and you can use the google site: (then enter your domain without http) to view all the places linking to your website. Normally when your link count goes up the traffic logically follows.
