Benefits of Article Marketing

September 7, 2007

Article marketing is one of the most important tools of professional SEOs. Article marketing is one of the newest and most important trends in content formation. The cause is this that articles are a great source of one way links.

Article marketing is an efficient method of creating long term and quality traffic to your web site. Write a good article about your theme and submit them to the many article directories. These article directories offer free reprint articles. They make your articles available to others to pick up and post on their sites, as long as they include your author section, which will have a link back to your site. Every time your article selected, you just gained another one-way link.

There is one fundamental difference between journalism and content writing on the internet. When you are writing for the print media, you are not concerned about a particular set of words that must be repeated several times in an article. But in a web article, the keyword is one of the most important characteristic.

Marketing articles should be written within a range of 400 and 700 words. Some directories do accept articles that are shorter in word count. But it is not good to have too short articles, as you will not be able to say all that you want. Articles longer than 700 words must also be neglected, as they will tend to be too boring to the reader.

Article writing is a practical method for you to work at home and make a good amount of income. By writing articles and submitting them through article directories, you can quickly have thousands of links pointing back to your website. By using article writing as an advertising technique, you can promote various products that you sell right in the article.

Many of the article directories also use RSS feeds that allow other webmasters to automatically update their own websites with the content from the article directories. This of course automates the article broadcast process.

Usually one article does nothing to improve your traffic or sales. You must put in more articles. Put them on various article directories. Article marketing really can be a fantastic source of almost viral traffic, especially when the articles are submitted to the best article directories and the articles are written in a manner that encourages receptiveness.

    As a article directory owner, unique content is king! There is so much duplicate content out there. Copy and pasting to all of the articles directories won’t do anyone any good if it is not original. Keep the original articles coming!

      There are a lot of article directories out there and each one is getting good traffic also.
      One day I downloaded free PLR articles, copied the title of one article, pasted in google search bar and searched for it.
      I was amazed because the same article was published exactly as is, in more than 20 article directories.
      So I am thinking whether duplicate content is also good for bringing traffic to your website or NOT?
      If anyone knows the answer, let me know!
