Article Marketing Tip #6 Re-Purpose Your Content

Stewart — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:31:24 +0000

Since your main goal is to get more traffic, you’ll want to use your content in as many different ways as possible. It’s no use to just write an article one time, submit it to one directory, and expect to get traffic. It’s a much better use of your time to use your content in more than one way. After all — you still own the article.

In fact, many people are finding that it actually increases their rankings greatly if they use the same article at more than one article directory. There is some debate about this, so you might find that you want to rewrite it a little bit before submitting it to another directory. Still, this saves you a lot of time.

Create a new resource box as well with different links targeting your top keywords for each directory you submit to.

Three article submission services that have grown to get a lot of respect over the years are:

Isnare: Submits to many publishers for a very reasonable price.

ArticleMarketer Service: Offers a free trial. Definitely worth trying just for that reason. It is our favorite submission service.

UniqueArticleWizard: This is great if you are concerned about duplicate content.

Beware signing up with other services until you check them out. These three are respected and updated constantly.

You should also take the content that you submitted to the directories and put it on your own website first. This updates your site and shows the search engines that you are constantly adding new content.

Adding new content often helps you get “spidered” (visited by the search engines) more frequently. The more frequently you are spidered, the faster you can rank for new content and the faster you can make money.

It’s true — content and links really do make the web go round. The more content and links you have on your websites, the more chances you have to get traffic. People are on the web to find information so be sure to offer them lots of quality articles on your websites and lots of links to find you with.

Article Marketing Tip #5 Submit Many Articles

Stewart — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 18:20:30 +0000

There are webmasters who think that they can boost their search engine rankings and get tons of article directory visitors to their site just by submitting an article or two. If only this were true. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case at all. You need to sustain an active level of submission to stay at the top of the search engines.

That doesn’t mean you need to spend your life writing articles. As long as you’re consistent in your efforts and don’t stop at just a few articles you’ll likely see great results. Still, those who submit many articles over a long period of time usually see higher levels of traffic.

You’ll find that the number of articles you need to submit really depends on the niche you’re in. There are some niches out there where just one or two articles a month will do. There are other niches where it’s ultra-competitive, so you’ll need to submit more articles, more often.

Here at NextGenlinks.com we suggest to try and submit 1-2 articles per week, every week. If that’s too much, then shoot for 2-4 articles per month, every month. The key is to be consistent.

We use ArticleMarketer.com to submit our articles and we have seen tremendous success, we highly recommend their services.

Article Marketing Tip #4: Focus on Your Author’s Resource Box

Stewart — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:41:48 +0000

One of the most important article marketing tips you can follow is to focus on your author’s resource box. This is your “take” for your site, whereas the actual article body is your “give” to the directory.

Your author’s resource box should contain a compelling reason for people to continue on to your website. You may talk a little about yourself, but it really has to be more about the reader and what he/she wants.

For example, if your website is offering a solution for people that need links, you want to give them a reason to visit. Clearly, you need to let them know that you have the answer they are looking for in order to get them to visit your website.

A huge part of crafting a great resource box is including one or more links to your website. Different directories have different rules about this, but the standard is to allow you to include two links. You want to surround these links in what is called “anchor text.” This is simply a way for you to name the link to let the search engines know exactly what your site is about.

Here is an example author’s box that we use on some of our submissions:
*********************************************************************

We use www.NextGenlinks.com It’s a revolutionary new white-hat software
that builds relevant, deep links to all of the pages of your site on auto pilot!”
NextGenlinks.com is the ONLY link building software program that is designed
to create high quality, relevant, one way links to EVERY page on your site
Resulting in hundreds of TOP TEN listings in Google, Yahoo & MSN.

*********************************************************************

In this resource box we have added two links, one which is targeting the keyword “www.NextGenLinks.com” – because many people search for our site by name - and one targeting a long tail keyword phrase “link building software program“.

The html for these links would look like this:

www.NextGenlinks.com

and

link building software program

The html for the entire resource box would look like this:

*********************************************************************

PPC Tip #2: Always Test Your Keywords First Before Losing Your Shirt Bidding

Stewart — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:41:36 +0000

The best thing you can do after you’ve selected your keywords is to test them out. Don’t start out with a huge bid amount because you can quickly lose money that way.

You’ll want to start off with a lower amount to see how many clicks you end up getting. It could be that you’re not getting as many as you expected, so you’ll want to increase your bids. Or, you might find that you’re seeing some traffic and high returns.

Don’t worry — testing doesn’t take long. That’s the beauty of PPC, the results come in almost instantly. You can determine within a few days whether or not you should discontinue your ads, tweak them, or keep them going as they are.

Being cautious is the most important thing at this point, because there are way too many people who dive in headfirst with PPC and then end up with a huge bill that just didn’t pay for the kind of traffic they received.

If you do this right, on the other hand, the results from PPC can be faster and even more profitable than they are with article marketing.

Article Marketing Tip #3 – Submit To The Right Article Directories

Stewart — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:36:00 +0000

There are many article directories, but not all of them are worth your time. Since you’re trying to get traffic to your website, you want to find the very best ones. It can be hard to choose since the search engine’s “love” for these directories seems to change all the time. Still, there are a few that you can always count on.

These include:

EzineArticles.com
GoArticles.com
ArticleDashboard.com
Buzzle.com

If you open an account at these different directories and start a regular submission schedule, you’ll find that you start getting visitors to your website.

Since these are people who are looking for exactly what you’re offering, your conversions should be great as well.

If you can afford to pay for article submissions, we use and highly recommend ArticleMarketer.com. Their service is affordable and is the most effective we’ve found.

Article Marketing Tip #2:Write Your Articles for the Reader — and the Search Engines

Stewart — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:16:19 +0000

There are many people who think that in order to rank highly in search engines, they need to stuff their keyword in their article an excessive amount of times. This is definitely not the best way to attract readers or get traffic to your website.

The search engines are also getting smarter and they know when you’re trying to game them.

It is much better to weave your keywords in more naturally. This will serve both the search engines and your readers. There is no set keyword density that works well, but many experts suggest you stick to around 2% or less. That means for every hundred words you would include the keyword about 2 times.

Remember — the search engines can tell if you’re trying to stuff your keyword in your article. Their main goal is to provide a good user experience for people who use their search engine, and your main goal is to get people to your website.

It makes sense, then, that you would strive to provide good content that the search engines will like and that people find useful when they visit your website.

101 Traffic Tips: Getting Traffic Through Pay Per Click

Stewart — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:05:44 +0000

Pay Per Click (PPC) is also an effective way to get traffic. While article marketing is free (except for the cost of your time), Pay Per Click costs money.

The most well known service is Google Adwords. Yahoo and MSN also have their own PPC networks. And, there are many smaller pay per click networks that have shown promise.

So, how does pay per click work? Basically, you pay for every visitor that you receive to your website through the pay per click service.

You’ll create a text ad that entices people to click on it. Your ad will appear for searches based on the keywords you have chosen. It can cost anywhere from five cents per click to several dollars per click. This figure depends on the niche you’re in and how many other people are bidding on the same keywords at that time.

It’s easy to “lose your shirt” if you’re not careful. That’s why it’s best to learn as much as you can about this useful traffic generation tool – especially how to track your results so that you can quickly find out which ads are working and which aren’t and adjust your spending accordingly. The greatest thing about PPC is that the results are nearly instant. As soon as you put up your ad, you can start getting traffic.

We have several tips to help make sure your campaigns are successful…

Article Marketing Tip #1 – Do Your Keyword Research

Stewart — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 19:23:47 +0000

One of the most important things you can do to make sure your articles are more effective is keyword research. Since people use keywords to search for information in the search engines like Google, you’ll want to target appropriate keywords if you wish to show up at the top of the results pages.

You can find relevant keywords in many different ways, but the easiest way is to use Google’s research tool.

You can find it at: http://adwords.google.com/select/keywordtoolexternal

Simply type in a keyword for your website and Google will give you many keyword ideas.

Example: If you’ve got a website about pet recipes, you would enter terms like “cooking pet food”, “homemade pet food”, “natural pet food’, “cook dog food”, etc.

Google also gives you the numbers that tell you how often people search for each term. That way you know the keywords you’re targeting are worth your efforts.

Another important piece of the puzzle is figuring out how much competition there is for each keyword. If you are targeting words that have too much competition it’s going to be harder for you to reach the top of the search engine results pages. Don’t worry about that happening, because it’s easy to figure out how much competition there is.

Simply go to Google and type in your keyword surrounded by quote marks. The results that pop up are the other sites that are specifically targeting that term.

Example: When I search for “Pet recipes” I see there are 66,600 webpages that are already listed for that term.

Google Search for "Pet Recipes"

Now that you have these keywords you can use them to give you a basis for your articles. It’s easiest to choose one keyword per article and focus the topic around that keyword. Remember to put the same term in your title as well.

***Bonus tip for keyword research:

Her’s how you can expand your keyword research using the Search Results you get from Google.

When typing the keyword into the search box, add the tilde symbol before the term, for example: ~pet recipes

This will tell Google to search for and display results that Google Searchers have used in place of or that are similar to the term “pet recipes”, it will highlight these terms in the results making them easy to spot.

You can further refine this by showing only the results with terms that are similar and not the results that contain the term “pet” by adding the following to the search:

~pet recipes -pet

So now you’re saying, search for results containing terms similar to “pet recipes” but don’t show the results containing the term “pet”.
