What is the importance of article marketing?

Personally I use article marketing to get tons free traffic to my webpages. This helps me not only increase my traffic but also feeds Google my keywords and helps me get my webpages ranked higher.

For me that means I get the traffic, more and more traffic that’s targeted which in turn helps me make more money online.

How Do I Increase My Page Rank With Articles

The key to my success through article marketing is to write articles that are keyworded using my main keywords. I usually focus on at least two keywords or phrases sometimes three.

The goal is to convince the major search engines that my keywords are relevant to my content and especially my one way links. It’s a must to have your backlinks keyworded using a variety of keyword phrase that fit your niche.

Being Found On Search Engines Is Vital

For best results you articles need to be listed on the first couple of search results pages due to people’s surfing habits.

By that I mean people tend to refine their search phrase if they don’t find what they are looking for in the first couple of pages of search results.

This takes both time and effort to research the best keywords for your niche campaigns.

Article Marketing Using Keywords You Can Rank For

Proper keyword research gives Internet marketers the edge over slackers or lazy marketers who skip the research because they think they know the keywords that will make them money.

Well most that skip the research go for the top keywords in the niche they choose which is usually a death sentence for their business if they don’t eventually conduct proper keyword research.

This is good for you and me because those people won’t be our competition even if they are in the same niche and would most likely take them years to compete for the keywords they have chosen.

You want keywords that get ignored by the big players yet still get money making traffic which can be tough to find without a lot of research, again leaving the lazy marketers in your dust.

Article Marketing Using Article Directories And Networks

Today we have a lot of article directories and networks that you can use to get your keyworded content out there.

If there is only one piece of advice I can give you about article marketing is to be unique. Don’t try using duplicate content to gain page rank for your webpages.

With the number of article spinners today it’s easy to create lots of content from just one article but the problem with that is losing the effectiveness of your article.

It’s easy to allow the article spinner to replace your keyword phrase with something close but different and that can really mess with your ranking.

If you are trying to rank for a keyword phrase but allow the spinner to change it you are no longer ranking for that that phrase. This is a good reason to go through each and every article you plan to use and make sure your keyword phrase is still intact.

I use The Best Spinner to spin my articles because it works great for me. I can even check my content with Copyscape.com, right from within The Best Spinner but I can also protect terms from the spinners so they remain untouched.

The protect terms option in The Best Spinner makes my life so much easier. Other spinners I have tried out just don’t have that feature which is a bit frustrating and makes my job a little tougher.

Once I have my keyword focused article rewritten into about a dozen or so unique articles I am ready to start publishing to my favourite article directories like EzineArticles.com and article networks like the Free Traffic System.

Just What Is SEO ?

SEO basically means you take the time to research keywords for your niche which you can then use to write content that will be picked up and indexed by the major search engines. Note that this content can be on your website or on other people’s pages linking back to your own pages. This is called on-page and off-page factors.

Optimizing Your Domain Name

From what I have seen and heard having a keyword optimized domain name will get you better ranking over those domains that are not keyworded.

If you haven’t gone through this process before you may find yourself getting frustrated trying to find a domain you can use that’s got your keyword prhase in it. With a little thought you will be most likely still be able to get a keyworded domain name.

Search Engine Optimization And Domain Names

During the keyword research phase I am always thinking search engine optimization and seek one main keyword phrase to work for my site and then other keywords for individual pages. My main goal during the research is to find that keyword phrase I can make money with and it’s that keyword phrase I want as my domain name. The thing is so do so many others focusing on the same niche so I need to get creative.

Here are two things I do to get my domain name keyworded.

1. Can’t Get The Domain Name You Want? Try Using A Few Hyphens

In the past I looked for domain names that included my main keyword phrase but because it was always in popular niche markets it was tough to find, especially as a dot com.

To get the domain as a dot com domain and still have it optimized in the search engines for my keyword phrase I just added a hyphen between words.

Note: When I resort to using hyphens in my domain name I don’t go over 3 hyphens. I have used more in the past and found my sites didn’t get as much attention from the search engines. I may be wrong but I didn’t take the chance and from that point on I just wouldn’t go over 3 hyphens and have no complaints.

If you find you still can’t get a keyworded domain using hyphens then the next step is to add a prefix or suffix to the keyword or phrase.

2. Include A Suffix or Prefix To Get Your Keyworded Domain Name

You may find you just can’t get that keyworded domain, even if you use hypens so now it’s time to maybe add a word or two in front or at the end of your phrase. You will find it’s better to add those words to the end of your phrase for better search engine optimization but if all else fails you could try using word infront. It’s not as optimized but will work better than not having it keyworded at all.

Let’s say you wanted a keyworded domain such as, make money online. I know it’s way over used but it’s just an example. Well homegardeningtips dot com is already taken so I would add a word or two at the end, something like, homegardeningtipstogrow dot com.

For best search engine optimization results as far as your domain name goes it’s best to use a suffix rather than using a prefix.

I have been purchasing my domains from www.GoDaddy.com. I have many domains that get renewed every year and GoDaddy has never caused me any headaches. It’s why I feel so comfortable recommending them.

• One Way Linking Using The Best Spinner Plus The Free Traffic System Increased My PageRank (ebooks-with-reseller-rights.com)

When I first start to work at home I struggled to get pagerank for my webpages and sites. Those sites and pages I did get pagerank for took me long hard hours to accomplish.

Later, just as I was deciding to drop a number of my websites because it was just too much work I discovered two things.

1. The Best Spinner. It has helped save so much time rewriting articles. I can write 500 word articles quickly but rewriting takes me forever it seems but not with TBS. Now I can spin multiple articles in just a few minutes and no duplicate content issues.

2. The Free Traffic System which I now use to distribute my spun articles across their entire network of blogs, over a period of days so the articles don’t all appear at once.

Once I started spinning my 500 word articles using The Best Spinner I used the resulting articles for my blogs first and then publish them using The Free Traffic System with keyworded hyperlinks pointing back to my related webpages.

Before I continue I am sure some aren’t yet familiar with just what Page Rank AKA, pagerank or PR is.

Briefly, pagerank is a Google algorithm which is used to analysis a number of factors. There are a lot of factors but today I am concentrating on just a couple that have made a huge difference to me personally.

The page rank algorithm includes both on-page and off-page factors, some of which you can control. Others you can’t but if you focus on those you can control you can make a world of difference to your bottomline.

What Are Some Important Factors.

On-Page Factors To Help Your PageRank

Getting good pagerank begins with proper research before you ever start a site or type a word in that site.

1. Keyworded Domain Names

Your domain name. If you can get a keyworded domain name you already have a slight edge over those that don’t.

Example: I have two garden sites that have pretty much the same content, just spun a little on each. One site’s domain is keyworded while the other isn’t at all.

The keyworded site which I started in 2007 is a year younger than the other which was started in 2006. The keyworded domain recieves about 1500 unique visitors per day while the other gets just over 200 unique visitors per day.

Note: I get many requests for paid links on my keyworded garden site at $120.00 a link but nothing much for the other, non-keyworded domain.

Using Hypens To Get A Keyworded Domain

I try to get keyworded domains without using hyphens and I also like dot com sites so if I can’t get a keyworded dot com domain I will add a couple of hyphens if necessary. I just won’t go over using 3 hyphens, any longer.

2. Keyworded Titles

Once you have a keyworded domain and you are ready to start creating content you need to keep focused on your best keywords. That of course takes research which should have been done long before you bought your domain.

Whenever you are creating content pages think long and hard about how you can use your keyword phrase(s) in your title as this is what appears in the search engine results pages.

Always try to get your main keyword for the page at the beginning of the title. It shows Google it’s important. Put your secondary keyword as well if possible.

3. Keyworded Page Names

So now you have a keyworded domain, you have a keyworded title and then you even keyword your page name. Do you think Google will get the point about what your keyword is?

When you’re blogging your page name is usually your page title so it should have the keyword right at the beginning as well.

Just those three points alone are very powerful but there is one more, well maybe two you can do to make it even better.

4. Keyword Density

Part of Google’s algorithm is keyword density so you can’t your keyword to have between 1% and 5%, even as much as 7% keyword density to show Google you really mean it.

Don’t use your keyword phrases in each sentence as it looks spammy and may exceed your desired keyword density. I much prefer to put my keyword phrase in the first paragraph, somewhere through the middle of my content and then again at the end. Those are the most important places but if you haven’t reached your ideal density you can place your phrase a few more times.

5. Making Your Keywords More Valuable

It’s great that you’ve done all these things but now you can do one more thing that will help even more and that’s to enhance your keywords using headings 1-3 as well as using bold and/or italics.

Using The Best Spinner

I use The Best Spinner once I’ve done all the steps above. This way I know my article is exactly how I want it. You want to rewrite the article into many articles you can publish to article directories and networks, a task that used to take most of my time before I purchased The Best Spinner.

I keep my initial article to use on EzineArticles. They are the most strict when it comes to content and is why they are the #1 article directory. I do publish the article anywhere else until EA has approved it.

After the article has been accepted by EA I am ready to run it through The Best Spinner.

Once I’m finished spinning the article into many unique articles I use the spun code at the Free Traffic System.

Now using The Free Traffic System I can specify numerous hyper text for my links so that they are varied using my main keyword phrases. This way each time it is published on FTS the system picks a different keyword phrase.

Many marketers today work at home writing articles to get the traffic they need to make money online. They are using article marketing to gain target traffic from major search engines and has been going on since the Internet has been available to us, because it works.

Personally I have been using article marketing to get traffic for nearly a decade. Why, because it has been working great to generate my traffic.

New marketers want to know the best methods for effective article marketing and submissions. What are the most effective strategies.

Submit To Article Directories

By far I have had my best success marketing through articles is by submitting them to article directories.

My first choice for article directories is EzineArticles.com as it’s the most strict when it comes to article content, so it’s always first on my list.

Once my article is accepted at EA I then modify it a bit for each of the other article directories for tons of target traffic.

EzineArticles.com is the top rated article directory for a good reason, because Google spiders them quickly.

EA does take a while to approve articles when you first start but they have to approve hundreds and hundreds each and every day. So be patient.

Once you have submitted a few articles without any being rejected you will be put in a new class of article author and you will get approved way faster.

Just follow their guidelines to the letter and you will get your articles approved.

EzineArticles.com gets a lot of attention from Google as will your article but keep them on topic and choose your keywords wisely as that will get you a whole lot more traffic.

Note: You’ve taken the time to write good keyworded articles and publish them to EzineArticles.com, now it’s time to start getting backlinks pointing to that article for even more attention from the major search engines.

Submit EzineArticles Author RSS Feed

Fnd the top ten RSS feed directories in Google and then submit your EA author feed. You can do this manually but there are ways to do it automatically, just be sure you do it.

Get those top ten done quickly and then add it to even more over time.

Using Ping Sites To Ping Your Articles

There are a ton of ping sites you can use to ping your articles which again helps you get more traffic from your articles.

Social Bookmarking And Your Articles

Don’t pass over the power of social bookmarketing. This is another tactic for more traffic and can be done manually or you can make it automated.

Important Note: Take the time to write quality articles with helpful content and you will do much better with sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. Creating quality content will get you noticed in a good way.

When you are looking at article directories look for those that have a PageRank of at least 4 or 5. Get your article accepted on those before moving on to those with less PR.

Using Article Networks For Backlinks And Traffic

I also use a few article networks to submit articles to. These article networks had dozens if not hundreds of blogs just waiting for more content.

Most of these article networks accept spun articles. I personally use The Best Spinner to spin my articles before I submit them.

As you start making money you can farm out or outsource you submissions to article directories and networks.

Once I was spinning multiple articles using The Best Spinner I started publishing my spun article to the Free Traffic System and watched my page rank start growing.

I have been enjoying working from home for several reasons. A big one for me personally was becoming my own boss. I like the thought of NOT punching a time clock which allows me to come and go as I please.

It is an incredible illusion of freedom. The downside to this is wasting your time rather than working smart. Personally I’ve to document my function time so that I know I am working efficiently.

When I was working as a personal computer consultant for 20 years I had to really keep track of my time, correct down to the minutes because they all add up. I had numerous projects on the go at any given time and without some type of schedule I would be lost and confused. I don’t like keeping a schedule as it reminds me of working for others but it is what keeps me in organization.

Now that I work from home full time I had to produce my extremely own spreadsheet to ensure that I could see where the time goes so that I can strengthen my productivity. The additional productive I am the less stressed I get. Having too several issues on the go or on my mind at the identical time truly slows me down and tires me out.

In case you haven’t began keeping track of your time you might be most likely wasting time and you do not even know where.

The thing about permitting your time to run uncontrolled is that anxiety starts creating and you turn out to be even much less productive. Time is income and if your wasting your time you are missing out on money you could be generating.

There are always reasons why your company is causing anxiety. My greatest problem for really a even though was my wife and son just wouldn’t fully grasp that my work from home small business, even though it was on-line was still a business and I needed to be left alone to function at my finest. Then you can find those days that the water just calls me for a day of fishing.

It is simple to permit non-work related points to get in your way mainly because you are able to generally get your function done tomorrow.

I had to take a step back and examine how I was spending my time, remembering time is income so it kinda gets spent. I also talked with other work from home marketers to see how they managed their time. Here are five points that helped me and can enable you to.

1. Discover How to Be Effective Together with your Time

Document what you do for about a week. Write down every little thing so you know just how much time you’re working productively and how much time you are just wasting.

Once you document what you do within your work day you will have a much superior idea of how you can set a schedule so you might function more efficiently.

An enormous time waster for me is taking on additional than I can possibly do. I fixed the problem by dropping about a dozen websites and focusing on the remaining internet sites as a whole lot of my time was wasting questioning what I really should be performing for the sites I had not worked on lately.

Taking on so a lot that I couldn’t maintain up with it all just ate into my free time. I was so stressed I couldn’t sleep without having thinking about function and that produced me tired all day. It’s a viscious circle to be in and causes way too a lot stress.

2. Scheduled Function Time Is Work Time

When I’m working in my home office it’s function time and the door is closed. I even put a Don’t Disturb sign on my door. That was the only way I could get my family members to enable me to work. If it is not scheduled work and not a actual emergency it could be performed later. Even though I do consist of taking Honey outside to do her organization and to get some sun.

You could locate a certain time of the day that you work a lot more efficiently. That really should be the time you do your function.

For me I am at my greatest early in the day, even as early as 5am. The entire neighbourhood is quiet then. Not traffic, no children screaming or laughing and most importantly I am awake and alert.

As soon as it is about noon my brain starts to obtain tired and I’m much less efficient and get frustrated less complicated. That’s the time I call it each day. It works for me.

3. Stay On The Job At Hand

This has to be my biggest problem with function and my time. I will probably be working on some thing, the some thing else, function related comes to mind and I switch to that. Bad move simply because what I was working on get’s put on hold and occasionally I forget to return to it.

Once you start off a job finish it just before allowing yourself to get distracted.

4. Stick To Your Schedule

As effortless as it is to walk away from working for non function related factors it’s just as effortless to maintain on working and messing together with your no cost time. That can seriously turn into stressful over time. You need cost-free time as considerably as you must maintain on schedule.

Once you create a schedule for your work time and non-work time stick to it or change it.

5. Finish The Job At Hand Just before Starting A new Task

It could be less difficult stated than completed but personally I do significantly better when I don’t have too numerous points on my plate. I also set priorities for the tasks I need to do to ensure that I work essentially the most vital items initial.

I spent a good deal of years with piles of function in front of me that was all half done.

In conclusion, work from home jobs are excellent but can result in actual difficulties if you’re not disciplined sufficient to set a function schedule. You will find life so much more enjoyable when you are not over worked.

I am a work at home marketer and have been for 10 years now. I started by offering products created by others which is called affiliate marketing and is a great way to make money on the Internet.

As an affiliate marketer I earn commissions selling other people’s products but I can make a whole lot more by creating my own ebooks or digital products and have other sell them for me. Just like I do today.

Think about this for a few minutes. You would be earning 100% of what you sell if the product is your own and you can offer great commissions to others to sell your product for you. I find this such a cool way to make money.

If you’re thinking this is a too tough to make money you have a lot of company but that doesn’t mean you’re right, not by a long shot. Not if you take it step by step.

Step 1. Decide On The Actual Niche Market

Any time I am going to write an information product I like to stay within the markets I’m most knowledgeable about and so for me  I develop info products about my hobbies and also career. So, personally this means I write about angling, fly fishing, home gardening, personal computers and software programs, New Brunswick travel, etc.

The handful of hobbies I now have are more than enough to keep myself publishing for many years.

Step 2. Working At The Necessary Research

I do not claim to be a professional since I am not necessarily one and you really don’t need to be either. I merely write about about the stuff I am aware of and start looking up the stuff I do not. Within my sales articles I use longtail keyword phrases.

The beauty of this sort of online marketing is that I discover fresh products continuously and have a lot more to post about. Which often evolves into more opportunities to earn money on the internet.

Whenever there’s new products in my markets I read about these products. It may well be simply because I bought them and use them or I basically study all I can from other people and then begin creating.

Owning numerous websites in a variety of niches I have got a constant source of fresh products to write about.

Step 3. Working With Longtail Keywords

When I am looking into any of the markets I promote to I do not immediately go for the top rated key phrases. Why? There is likely to be more competitors than I wish to compete with to obtain good ranking in google. For this reason I favor choosing extended key phrases for at least 4 words or longer, that still attract profitable site traffic.

The main difference between long tail keywords and regular keywords are additional words. So a 3 word keyword would become a long tail keyword if you add an extra word or two or even three.

Step 4. Your Info Product Should Start With A Good Outline

Know right from the beginning that it’s not all about how big your ebook is. Your content is what’s important. Most people would rather pay for a product that gets to the point without a lot of filler to make it seem better than it is.

People are starving for information but they don’t want it full of pretty graphics, large text and filler. Get to the point and give them a what they want, even more so they will purchase from you again and again.

You can create ebooks or digital products in a number of formats but today most people want PDF files. I personally prefer PDFs as I have had issues with Windows and other ebook digital formats.

Finish out your product with some eye catching graphics, upload it to your site, and write a sales page, and you’re ready to sell!

Step 5. Produce An Eye Catching Ebook Cover

Once you have that first product created and promoted you learn the things that could be changed to make you even more money. At that time you have the exact step by step process to make all the information products you want. Now you have an unlimited income opportunity.

The two places I like to sell ebooks from and through are the Clickbank Marketplace and PayDotCom.
