Article Marketing Tips and Tricks
Using article marketing tips and tricks is one of the best ways to get quality highly targeted traffic. Not only will you benefit from being listed in the most viewed categories you can also make it to the most published article category as well. But more on that later. Lets get right to the article marketing tips and tricks. In this post I will list out 8 secrets that, done correctly, will help you dominate the article directories (mainly ezinearticles.com) and get lots of traffic.
1. Great Copy – Of course you need to have something relevant and intriguing to say. Write from the heart but do not ramble. Get to the point fast and offer value. Sometimes you want to offer information you would normally charge for.
2. Organize Your Article – The way you layout your article is actually very important. You want to make your article readable by the skimmers. Most people have short attention spans even when they want to learn something. Make your article stick out. Use bullet points and start new lines for important sections, words, or sentences.
3. Wondering Eyes – Now everyone has wondering eyes. So take advantage of this trait. Use Bold, italic, and if allowed small pictures or emotion icons. Highlight words through out your article that tell their own story. Your skimmers will see these words and get the picture. Your main goal is to get the reader all the way through the article to your resource box and clicking your links to find out more.
4. Keywords Are Key – Do a little keyword research. Write your article using the keywords you find and sprinkle them through out your article. Place the keyword in the title, body, and resource box. Definitely use the keyword as an anchor text in your resource box.
5. Internal Back linking – The large article directories have hundreds of thousands and some millions of articles in their database. This creates a whole lot of back link opportunity for you. Your goal is to get into the categories that will deliver the most targeted traffic to your article then your website. Most of the large article directories have categories such as most viewed articles and most published. These tends to be difficult to get into but the pay off is sweet. More on that later.
6. Generate Article Traffic – In order to get into those special categories you need people to come view your article. This is where your backlinking skills come into play. But I would first start by telling all of your friends that you have a great article that they should go and view. Social bookmark it, twitter it, facebook it, do whatever you can to promote it. You can republish your article where ever you would like to get some back links generated for your article. You want to pick places where you can generate views of your article. One great place is social networking sites. Especially ones that allow you to have a blog.
7. Faster Approval – Online you will hear a lot of people say take action. But taking action sometimes takes time. Well we all know time is money. So to help get that money you will want to take advantage of the faster approval methods these article directories give you. Most of these options cost money. If you can afford it, do it. Its worth it. The faster you are approved the faster you can get working on your traffic and the faster you get paid.
8. Promotion – I touched a little on this in tip 6 but I want to be more specific. I mentioned use social networking sites to republish your approved article but what social networking sites you ask. Here’s a few. Start with Ning.com. If you haven’t heard of ning.com get familiar. This site allows individuals like you and I to create our own social networking site. Ning is a great resource to place your republished articles. Not only will you get a backlink to your original article you will be grabbing the attention of the members of the ning site you just joined. It’s a win win.
SECRET: There’s a faster way of getting into those categories I talked about. You won’t believe how easy it is.
Watch Rob Howard’s & David Bullock’s 5 Minute Article Traffic Plan Videos and you’ll see what I mean.

I love this!
I was just surfing around the web looking for ideas to write some articles about and found your website, good stuff you have here thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info, I check up on a few blogs on a daily basis but I will be bookmarking yours and checking back often. Also, I like the layout you have on your site, it makes it easy to locate what I am looking for and doesnt distract me to the point that I have to leave,. Did you style your comments like this or is this how your theme was setup originally?
hey man come on this is good stuff
Thanks a lot for the post. Im a huge fan of the blog, i’ve just put a little bookmark right on the tool bar of my Firefox you’ll be happy to find out!
A quality link building service should be a team of experienced people. Not just that, adequate and extensive knowledge of the industry will result in success or failure. Example, someone without good knowledge will still think that metatags matter in on-page seo or that reciprocal linking is still effective when it is not.
Of course, what a great site and informative posts, I will add backlink – bookmark this site? Regards, Reader.
Excellent article, I am a big fan of this blog, keep up the good work, and I’ll be a regular visitor for a very long time.
I can’t agree more with this list. Great copy for me should be the entire top section because it is the great, original copy that really makes a difference to your views and blogs etc.
Brilliant tips there, a lot of those I had never considered. I write a few articles for a blog about chocolate (spend more time eating than writing though!) but this should help a lot with getting more comments on my articles.
this is what the internet is about. Awesome post.
I enjoyed your posts, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so very interesting, I get fed up of seeing the same old boring recycled stuff all of the time.

Interesting and good stuff. Keep it coming. I am always interested in the story
