I know many people that think article marketing doesn’t work anymore. Well…they’re wrong.
Here are the stats from just one of my EzineArticles accounts…
8,353 clicks were delivered to my websites in May alone! And you will also notice that I didn’t even submit any new articles in May.
If you have done any PPC marketing you know how much 8,000 clicks would cost you. But I didn’t have to pay a dime for all this traffic.
Ok, so article marketing does work, I think I have shown that. Here are a couple tips that I use to make my article marketing gets the best results:
1. Pick a low competition keyword to target with your article. By picking a low competition keyword, you article is very likely to show up on the first page of Google (especially if you are using ezinearticles.com). I like to shoot for a keyword with 10,000 or less competing websites.
2. Include your keyword in the title of the article and first paragraph of your article. Just basic SEO but it works very well.
3. Get a couple links for your article. In some cases this may not be necessary, but by getting your article a couple links from bookmarking sites or blog comments can often push it to #1 on Google.
4. Make sure your resource box gives the reader a reason to click over to your site. You do not make any money when someone reads your article on an article directory! You must get them to click over to your site to make money. Give the reader a reason to come to your site by offering a free report or tutorial in your resource box.
5. Make sure to use keyword rich anchor text in your resource box. Article marketing can bring you traffic but just as important is the one-way links it builds for your site. Don’t waste them and make sure you are using keyword-rich anchor text. Also make sure to link to your internal pages and not just your homepage in your resource box.
Follow these 5 tips and you will see great results from your article marketing efforts.
