7 article marketing tips:
Article marketing is one of the best ways to market your website, products and services for free.Here are 7 useful article marketing tips you can start using today. These are the questions you need to ask your self and write information that people really are looking for.
1.Is it relevant?
You must make sure that whatever you are writing about is relevant.If your article is about the Top 3 Adsense Revenue Sharing Sites, then be sure to deliver on that topic.No need to add irrelevant information to the article, it will just confuse the reader.
2.Is it timely?
Your article must be timely and most of all newsworthy, just like you see on TV or read in the newspaper.For good article ideas, sign up on a news list that gives you alerts on the topics you are interested about.For instance, go to Google and search for RSS feeds about the topic you are interested about and then sign up.It does not cost you anything.
3.Use sequels!
When it comes to article marketing, a good idea is to write the article in many parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and so on).After you have written the first article there is new information available online that you can use for part number 2 and 3. Bloggers use this technique often to get people back to their site.This is also very helpful in article marketing because sometimes it is very difficult to come up with something good to write about.
4.Go viral!
Allow other people to publish your article as long as nothing is changed and the authors resource box is intact.Article syndication is going to drive a lot of traffic to your website. When you write good quality content and submit your articles to EzineArticles.com and other article marketing sites, people are going to post your articles on their sites.Every time this happens, you will get a new link pointing to your site (with article marketing, some people are not going to give you credit for your articles but the majority will).The link count will grow over time, in a year you could have hundreds of links pointing to your site from just one article you have written.This is the best part with article marketing, you need to do the job once properly and then it will practically take care of it self.
5.Short and simple!
Do not bore the reader with too long articles.A good article length is 400 – 800 words.The article should be long enough so the reader understands the message you are trying to convey.When doing article marketing you should also think about not revealing everything in the article itself, the reader must have a good reason to click on the link in the resource box to find out more.Direct traffic to your website from article directories is one of the best points with article marketing.

6.How many is needed?
How many articles do you need to write in order to increase traffic to your website? It all depends on your article title,because it has to catch the interest of the reader or they will never click the link to read more, and visit your website to buy your product.You can get things started with only two articles. Article titles like “how to….” or “7 great tips to…” work the best.
7.Re-use your articles!
If you have written several articles on the same topic, compile an ebook of them.This is a great freebie to give away when you are building your email list.Even if you can re-use your articles in ebooks or as PLR content, search engines do not like duplicate content and will not index it.In order to get the full benefit of article marketing, be sure to write a unique version for each directory you are going to submit to.
Why is article marketing so important?
Article marketing has really three functions.First, when submitting articles to directories you will become an expert in your field and people who read your articles will click through to your site to learn more about you.Secondly, other webmasters may the articles you have submitted on their own websites and you will get a link back to your site every time someone else posts your article on their site.Third, article marketing is a great way to build links to your own website.Article directories are often high authority sites with a good page rank.
Can anyone use article marketing?
Basically, yes.However, it is good to know that this is a long term strategy and you will not see results instantly.It will take months to see the effect of article marketing.You should also know what keywords to use because the competition is hard online and choosing the wrong keywords can mean that your article will never be on the first page of the search engines. However, article marketing is free and it will continue to work forever.
