Market Mix of Online Article Submission Sites
Any online article submission website must consider its market mix and decide what quality level it can accept and which type of articles are appropriate. I believe a good online article submission site can handle the trendy pop culture articles and the serious articles and the strength is in the numbers and the rankings of the submission site.
If this is the goal then the online article submission site might handle white papers, or have sub-categories for more elevated articles. Perhaps even an eBook section where they pay out half to the author. I am certain the top online article submission sites have considered all these things at one time or another, although before launching anything like that, it must be a WIN/WIN, for them and the author as well, otherwise it cannot work.
A limited system of review for only serious authors that could be placed in a special category would be excellent, but if the submission site draws its traffic from search engines those folks are coming anyway, only this way they may eventually trust the source more in the future, thus the serious author wins big.
An online article submission website which can accept both serious articles and pop culture articles would allow the site's authors to have their cake and eat it too. The author chooses what to write and the site distributes the work to the world and the Internet Surfer if interested will see the articles they like and choose. Everyone wins, as it is the information topics they are looking for, if it is too heavy for them, they click out, if not they win, you win and everyone is happy in cyberspace?

Productive Article Marketing Revealed - 4 Comprehensive Ways to Multiply Your Article Marketing
Article marketing is one of the best website SEO strategies that is designed to get free targeted traffic for your website. It works by writing original articles that are related to your target niche and submitting them to various article directories online. These articles are then posted by publishers so other webmasters and ezine publishers can use them for free as long as they keep the resource box that directs online users to your website.
1. The success in article marketing largely depends on the quality of articles your write. In order for your copies to be widely distributed, they must be easy to read, well-written and focused on your target niche. Focus on writing articles that offer solutions as these are the kinds of copies that are often search for by most online users.
2. Choose keyword-rich titles. People search the internet through the use of keywords. When you make your headlines keyword-rich, they will be most likely to be found by your potential readers. To further entice your readers to open your articles, make sure that your headlines are intriguing and attention-grabbing.
3. Keep your articles short. Online users today have shorter attention span and they prefer short articles that are direct to the point and meaty.
4. Multiple the number of your articles. While it it true that the quality of your articles is the number one element that dictates the success of your article marketing campaign, the quantity of your articles plays crucial part too. As each submission grants you one quality inbound link, the more articles you submit, the more links you obtain for your website that can result to increased traffic and of course, sales.

Does Content Relevancy Factor Overrule Page Rank Of The Site In Coming Up In SERP's?
Page rank of the site is a important factor to come up in search results for a particular keyword but, it is observed that content relevancy factor overrules page rank. The question arises - does content relevancy factor overrules page rank of the site in coming up in SERP's? This common question comes to every SEO's mind while doing search engine optimization of a site.
It is seen that Google depends a lot on content relevancy factor when displaying results to the user. Google does this on purpose as by doing this it can supply the most relevant results to the user and hence enhance user search experience. Now we have to analyze what is content relevancy factor. We take a example if we search hotels in mumbai then Google will show a site whose theme would accurately match the searched keywords and would ignore sites in the same category but a broader theme like hotels in India or world's top hotels even though those sites might have higher page ranks.
Content relevancy factor depends on following things on a website
- Title of the page, does title exactly matches or closely matches the keyword researched
- Meta keywords and meta description contain the keyword searched
- Keyword density on the page for a particular keyword searched
- Anchor text of internal links pointing to that page
- Anchor text of external links pointing to that page
Search engine analyzes these factors before displaying the results to the user. Search engine also awards relevant points to the location of the user and content relevant according to the specific geographic location of that user. This is a important point which a SEO should note while doing optimization work for a web site.

Heather's Tips for Optimizing Your Web Site's Positioning
Heather Lloyd-Martin's presentation about successful search engine copywriting was held on the second day of the 2006 Search Engine Strategies conference in New York.
By then I had concluded that I would focus my comments (in all my stories) on the needs of mainstream established companies-since those are the people I know the most about.
We have many many articles written for others, such as Internet entrepreneurs, in the Selected Newsletter Articles section of our web site.
Therefore, I listened to what Heather and all the other presenters had to say from the perspective of those folks primarily involved in a traditional Main Street businesses with an Internet component.
What I found most refreshing was that her ideas "just made sense". No rocket-science required. And since I had heard her in 2001, we had already taken advantage of some of them and know they work.
Heather's Tip No. 1: Brainstorm keyword phrases.
This is important since the specific words and phrases that most accurately identify your products or services are likely to be different from the generic ones your web site designer would use. Who knows more about your products, your business, and your customers than you (and your staff)or your web site designer?
Plus, as search engines become increasingly sophisticated, more complex descriptions are possible to connect you with more targeted searchers. The closer you connect with your prospect at this point the more likely what you actually have to offer will match with what they are specifically searching for. Time spent here is time well invested.
Heather's Tip No. 2: Research your key phrases using trusted research tools.
Naturally this assumes that you actually take this important step. For me this has always been a stumbling block - costing me rankings, I'm sure.
In the past I assumed that I knew what keyword phrases people are using, instinctively without testing to be sure. The result was time, energy, and money spent to optimize keyword phrases that were "just slightly wrong", shooting myself in the foot before I got started.
Actually, it was after hearing Heather in 2001 that I began to see the light and use search tools such as Wordtracker (www.WordTracker.com) and now the Google AdWords keyword selection tool before optimizing the page.
Heather's Tip No. 3: Choose two or three key phrases their highly specific to each page.
After hearing this tip (again) we made some simple changes that, within two weeks, made a dramatic difference in the traffic on our web site. We had 200 pages of what had originally been an ebook. Each page had identical meta tags and other code.
By going back and optimizing each page around the specific keyphrases already on them the search engines are now seeing them individually. The result is that each page is, to a greater or lesser degree, generating new search traffic.
Heather's Tip No. 4: Include key phrases throughout your text, not just in the first couple of paragraphs.
Everyone "knows" that the search engine spiders enter your page from the top. Conventional wisdom was to put your keywords and keyphrases toward the top of your page. The result may have made your page look good to the spiders but not to the actual people who you want to be reading it. Now that we know that spiders zip through our entire site we have the freedom to insert the phrases where they fit best, where they make the most sense, and where they enhance the readability of our web site.
Heather's Tip No. 5: Include key phrases in your headlines and some headlines.
In some ways spiders are like humans. What gets emphasized attracts their attention. Headlines, sub-headlines, and bold faced type are considered to be more important by the spiders in the same way that they are considered to be more important when an actual person reads the contact.
When we made the changes on our web site based on Heather's comments, it was the new title tags and the new content specific headlines on each page that made all the difference. These new headlines and new title tags attracted the spiders perhaps for the first time in a long time and when they saw how the individual tags connected to the page's content they took them more seriously than before. This was a simple, although time consuming, process and immediately we began to see traffic to pages that never even shown up before.
Heather's Tip No. 6: Include key phrases in and around your hyperlinks.
By now everyone knows about Google's pagerank system. In a nutshell it means that the search engines are now giving us "credit" for inbound links. They have a complex and unknowable process for weighting them based on the value of the web site from whom we are linked as well.
In addition, when the links themselves are contextual, rather than just the base URL more weight is added. When there is an interest from a trade association or other reputable source to link to our web site, we encourage them to use the contextual link, in order to maximize the benefit of the link they create.
Heather's Tip No. 7: Include least to 250 words per page.
As I said earlier, the longer keyword search phrases being used make it more likely that the searcher reaches the specific products on your web site that they're looking for, if you have enough content in which to place this keyword phrases.
Again using our recent experience, pages with an average of 600 words (this one has 1,250), are being greedily consumed by the search engine spiders. I don't actually know how many people are searching our content but I'm confident that those who do so are doing it based on a large body of relevant material. What I do know is that inquiries are getting more relevant all the time - which is better for us and the searcher.
Heather's Tip No. 8: Include keyphrases in your title (the blue bar above every web page).
I'm no expert but like I said before this just makes sense. I remember a time, back before I heard Heather in 2001, that all of all our pages said "iBizResources.com" across the top. Until then I had no idea what we were missing. Now all of them identify the content on that particular page and is directly related to the keyphrases included in the page or articles headline. Simple but powerful.
Heather's Tip No. 9: Never sacrifice your conversion goals for search engine positioning.
For me and for you she saved the best for last. The reason we have our web site is to provide relevant, actionable, and transferable strategies from office and our contributors to you. The copywriting is for people like to, not search engine spiders.
Nevertheless we have to recognize their importance. It is up to them to put our content in front of you - so we have to balance the two. As a business person your objective is to expand your reach beyond your normal marketing area, to increase your market share and to increase the value of every contact. That's why you head of a web site.
So, when you are taking advantage of Heather's tips tools and strategy don't forget it's the people that write the checks not the search engine spiders.

How To Really Make Money Online
It is a simple concept. Develop a low cost product(such as an e-book), put up a website, get traffic to your site and make LOTS of money on the internet. And thousands of people try to do that every day. Some make some money, some don't. But do you know what the real key of Wealthy Marketers is?
I can tell you in two words: Backend Products! A back-end product is a higher priced product you attempt to sell to your customer after they have purchased a low priced (or introductory) related product from you.
Say someone bought a $37 ebook from a true wealthy marketer, that marketer would then attempt to sell them a product for $200, $ 500 or even $1000(by the way, for some reason, the response is better if the price is $197, $497, or $997. A true wealthy marketer knows that key to success.
That's why cars, appliances, even houses sell for an odd number like that. You don't see a tv commercial for a new car for $25,000. It will be for $24, 997! Notice that next time you watch tv!) If you're not trying to sell back-end products to your customers, you are losing out on the real money! It is far easier to sell to existing customers than it is to sell to new ones who don't know or trust you.
If the first(low priced product such as an ebook) was incredible, and if you provided fast and friendly customer service, usually 20-30% of your customers will order your higher priced back-end products. But only if you offer it to them!
As a matter of fact, this technique is used with direct response tv ads(a direct response ad is where an 800 number is given, and viewers are asked to order from the commercial!) Many of those ads actually LOSE money initially. But the wealthy marketer running those ads knows that he will make up for the loss and profit tremendously with the back end."
A good example is cosmetics or acne products. It may cost more to run the tv commercial than the total amount of money that comes in from the ad. But, in the case of the acne solution, the buyer must continue to use the product, so in this case the "back end" is not a one time order, but a continuous order, say each month, for as long as the customer needs it-maybe 6 months to a year or longer. So, instead ofjust a one time sale of say $19.97 for an acne product, the customer is automatically shipped the product each month for 12 months. The $19.97 sale becomes a $239.64 sale!($19.97 x 12 = $239.64.)
This is called a continuity program and is used often in tv and other media as their "back end." On the internet, a continuity program(such as a membership site with a recurring monthly fee) can also be used by a wealthy marketer as a "back end." But for simplicity, we'll just confine ourselves to higher priced products as our "back end."
I was doing a radio interview a few years back with Terry Dean, an internet "guru" and a true wealthy marketer. (I think Terry actually retired in his early 30's! Proof that his methods worked!) Terry was telling me that he never made any real money on the internet until he started selling higher priced($497-$2997)products. In other words, this wealthy marketer was telling me that his success was all because he was selling back-end products! Wow!
Below are 7 killer strategies you can use to sell your back-end products to your existing customers:
1. When you ship people the first product they bought, insert a flyer or brochure for your back-end product in the package. Or if it is an ebook, have a digital flyer for your back-end product.
2. Give customers a free subscription to a customers only e-zine when they buy your product. You could include an ad for your back-end product in each issue.
3. Mail(yes-snail mail!) your customers greeting cards on holidays or on their birthday. Include a small advertisement inside the card for your back-end product.
4. After ordering your first product from your web site, take them to a "thank you" web page and include a "special offer" for your back-end product ad on that page.
5. Give your customers a free membership into your "customers only" private site. You could include your ad for your back-end product somewhere inside the private site.
6. Contact your customers by phone and ask them if they were happy with their purchase. You then tell them about your back-end product.
7. Send your customers a thank you letter by mail or e-mail. You then mention your back-end product somewhere in the letter.
You can become a wealthy marketer yourself if you apply this secret-offer a back-end product to your customers!

Best Practices Keyword Research
There are a few simple actions that you should make your standard practices as you research your Small Business Website.
Don't feed your competitors.
Google records every click. And every positive result improves the Google rank. Don't click on your competitors links from Google. Instead, copy the address and paste it into the address bar of a blank window. Additionally, if you are a google toolbar (or gmail) user- don't paste those results into the same browser program. When researching keyword results, I use the Firefox browser to search- but I copy the addresses of competitors into an Internet Explorer window. And I don't use the google toolbar for Internet Explorer so they is no tracking.
Don't get banned.
The search engines' business purpose is to supply useful listings. They understand better than anyone how much junk is on the internet. They have procedures for removing junk sites from their results- and it is surprisingly easy to turn your website into junk. If you are using a consulting firm to help you with search placement, make sure that the following practices are NOT what you have purchased.
Link Farming. Link farming refers to services that let you buy links back to your site. This is a junk technique and the Google algorithms don't take long to figure it out. Junk links to your site will result in removal from the results pages.
Duplicate Content. Repetitive Pages or repetitive paragraphs are understood by the search engines to be junk. If your text is too repetitive- you'll be ignored.
Keyword Density. It's possible to write many copies of your keywords into the invisible parts of your Website. If the ratio of actual written content compared to these word lists is too low- you'll be ignored.
Play Fair, but COMPETE!
The Best Practices for achieving quality search rankings need to be durable. It's not like you won't be in business next year. The best practice turns out to be honesty and a willingness to take good advice. This means the advice from the search engines. Well written and useful information is the clearest and most certain path to working with the search engines. Keep your focus on the things that your customers get- and this is usually the things that your small business does well. I've said on other pages here that one of the benefits for a business in developing their content is focus. You, your employees, your neighbors and your customers will understand your business best by you stating clearly what is true about your business.
Marketing, then Advertising, then Sales. Frequently, a small business begins with the intention of supplying to every possible kind of customer shopping for products in their general category. Smart advertising usually ignores the 'catch-all' methods and focuses instead on communicating things that you do well- that you do profitably- those things that keep customers coming back.

Search Engine Optimization Made Easy
Search Engine Optimization is an always changing process due to various reasons. The search engines frequently inform webmasters that they should not worry about search engine optimization and that the webmasters should simply focus on building a clean coded website and ensure that original and quality content is added to their website.
Certainly both items mentioned are important parts of the search engine optimization process however it does not end there unlike what the search engines might tell you.
Webmasters and search engine optimization specialists are constantly changing their SEO strategies as the search engines change the way they rank websites several times a year. It has become a vital part of marketing online.
Black hat search engine optimization is one of the main reasons why search engines change their algorithms. Black hat techniques are tricks which webmasters and dodgy search engine optimization firms perform to a website so that a search engine is tricked into ranking that website higher in the SERPS.
Search engine algorithms are basically the formula which a search engine like Google uses to rank a certain website in comparison to others. This search engine algorithm is closely guarded by a search engine as webmasters would abuse the algorithm so that their own website would rank higher in a search engine like Google or Yahoo.
A good example of black hat search engine optimization was when webmasters stuffed their Meta tags with keywords so that their website or a particular webpage would seem more relevant to a certain keyword. This was obviously not in the interest of the search engine user as they ranking of that website or page merely on the merit of the Meta tags led to many non relevant or bad quality sites to rank high in the SERPS.
Another famous black hat SEO trick is to stiff a white section on a web page with keywords using white letters. This did work at one time and it was ideal for webmasters as the reader could not see the unnecessary keywords stuffed together on the webpage. However as always the search engines discovered this black hat search engine optimization trick and put counter measures in place.
Please note that any website caught by a search engine for using these black hat optimization methods could be delisted by the search engine. Google is known especially for finding these black hat search engine optimization methods and have thrown out many website from their engine. You can ask to be re-included however that process can be lengthy and the website needs to remove all its black hat methods.
Google took the lead and changed their algorithm in the first example of black hat SEO (stuffing Meta tags) so that the Meta tags would no longer play an important part in the way that a website would be ranked. Most search engines have since followed the same direction as Google did. Well if the Meta tags were important before as a search engine optimization tool for webmasters then what is important now?
That is exactly what all the big fuss and secrecy is about with search engine optimization. Each time a SE (search engine) changes their algorithm then website owners and website marketing companies which includes search engine optimization firms will use their resources to discover what the algorithm is so that they can change their site for better rankings.

Profitable Article Marketing - 4 Profitable Methods to Jumpstart Your Article Marketing
If you are thinking about using article marketing in promoting your products and your website, I'd say you have made the right choice. This is one of the most cost-effective and efficient tools that when used properly can bring you enormous traffic, great placements on major search engines, and great sales potentials.
Here are the 4 profitable methods to jumpstart your article marketing:
1. Be familiar with the terms of service set by various article submission sites. Before you write your articles, I highly recommend that you read and understand the rules and regulations of publishing sites so you can design your articles in a way that they will conform to the set standards.
2. Promote your products. In article marketing, it is of outmost importance that you understand that blatant advertisements are not allowed on your article body. However, you can still promote your products to your readers by writing topics that are directly related to your offering. If your readers become interested on what you sell, they can just click on your resource box to give your website a visit.
3. Know how to please the search engines. One of the keys to succeed in this technique is to make your articles highly searchable online so you can better connect to your readers. You can easily do so by identifying the most searched keywords and keyphrases within your target niche and use them all throughout your content.
4. Make your articles scannable. There are few people who are willing to read your content word for word. Most of them would simply skim through your article to find specific information. To help them out, make your articles scannable by using sub headings, bullet points, and numbered list.

Search Engine Optimization Ideas that Work
Ensuring your web site is SEO friendly is paramount to its success. There are many ways to achieve this, some cost little money and some cost a lot. With a few simple techniques you can see your site raise in the search results without spending a fortune.
THINGS TO DO
After selecting your keywords, tags, description, etc. what else can you do to optimize your web site? Try these search engine optimization ideas for effective results.
(1) Do a search for sites similar to yours using some site related keywords. Select a few of the top results in the search. Analyze their keywords and tags by selecting view in the drop down menu of your browser and then click on source. There you will see what theyve done to get such good placement.
(2) Using a keyword tool to see how your products or services are searched for and use those terms to describe what you sell. If done correctly, matching popular search terms with your goods or services will get you great search engine placement.
(3) Check all your links to make sure they work. Dead links are bad news for both search engines and converting traffic into sales. This is an often overlooked search optimization technique.
(4) Submit to directories like DMOZ, Yahoo Business Directory, etc. Some charge a fee but their inclusion is a key factor in getting search engines to list you. Visit strongestlinks.com for a comprehensive list of good directories.
(5) Create a sitemap and submit it to the search engines. This ensures that no pages of your site will be missed when they crawl your site. There are free programs that can create the sitemap for you. This is a free but high effective search optimization technique.
(6) If you write articles, be sure to publish them on your own site. Their keyword rich content increases your chances of being in their search engine results. You will also enjoy a better PR rating.
(7) Educate yourself through trade specific newsletters that discuss proper and effective SEO. They are an invaluable source for new ideas on search engine optimization.
THINGS TO AVOID
(1) Dont use words like of, the, etc. in your keywords. Those are called stop words and not considered search engine friendly.
(2) Avoid using tables within your site whenever possible. While pleasing to the eye, search engines cant always read them and they wont follow the text links or recognize the content.
(3) Make your content keyword rich, but dont go too far. Keyword stuffing can easily be detected and youll loose valuable search engine placement or even be excluded.
(4) Linking campaigns are important. One way links are best but reciprocal links are acceptable as long as they are with similar sites. Try to link to sites with a page rank of 3 or better. Avoid 3 way links, web rings and links to sites that have nothing in common with yours.
Proper search engine optimization techniques are a large part of any web sites success. There are many companies available to do this for you but if you are on a small budget, using these search engine optimization ideas will reap big benefits.

Barriers To Success With Article Marketing - Unlock The Secrets To Overcome Writer's Block
Article marketing is a really good way to market your internet business primarily because it is free. This means that whatever profit you make will be a hundred percent complete profit.
If you look at most of the other methods of advertising you need to pay for your adverts. Consequently at the end of the day after paying your advertising expenses your business may not be that profitable.
However, the biggest challenge faced with article marketing is that you need to get a significant amount of articles out there to succeed online. If you only writing one a day this is not nearly enough to succeed with this method.
Once you start doing 5 to ten articles every day. the biggest challenge you will experience is writer's block. There will be days when you just don't feel like writing and this can become a major problem for your business.
I would like to address one of the best ways that you can overcome this process that may seriously undermine the success of your business.
Make sure that you track and organize all your ideas electronically. Often you may be busy with one idea and you will get a bright spark. Later on you may not remember that. When you are busy writing more articles you may run out of ideas and you will have a ready database of material that you can use.
Some times you will really not feel like writing. Go to gym or do some other activity that will take your mind off it. When you come back you will feel refreshed and ready to start again. If you are in a quiet area put the television on. If you are in a noisy area for example the stereo may be on then turn it off. This alternative state will help to get your creative juices flowing again.
One final point is that when you first start writing it will be difficult. The more practise that you get the easier it will become and this method will build a stable foundation for your business as it is the most reliable traffic generation method.
Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?

Buying Articles for the Web
Offering free content on yours or others business Web site is a crucial part of Internet marketing. In fact, thats how Internet marketing got started, which is why everyone wants and expects something for nothing on the World Wide Web. Theyve always been getting it.
The public has come to expect Internet information to be free, and those most-often searched keywords are what will take consumers to your Web site. Once youve determined the most visited keywords in your industry, youll want to write or find articles that incorporate them.
If youre not a good writer, or you dont have the time it takes to write articles, you can use the articles of others. You can offer local writers or industry experts to contribute articles in return for their bio which gives their own site and business credibility, branding and traffic. Or you can buy articles from people you dont know. One way of doing this is through an article membership site. Here youll find articles on just about any subject, with new ones added all the time.
There are many sites that offer articles and memberships to help your Internet marketing. The catch, however, is that each invariably limits its membership ranks so that the Internet marketing articles dont get published too often. You may have to do some searching, or some waiting, to get a membership in the Internet marketing article membership site of your choice.
Once you are a member and you find the articles you want to publish your Internet marketing work is not done, however, You have to do some rewriting, making it not only fresh and unique to your site, but also giving it a little tweak so it talks directly about your industry, and, if possible, about your products or services.
You may find an article or articles that particular fit your Web site and your business but the keywords you need arent found that densely in the article. So youll need to do that. Thats fairly easy to do, and far easier than sitting down and writing your own article.
Never take an article from an article membership site and publish it verbatim. This is destructive to your Internet marketing concept. You want to make it yours your voice, your personality and your products. You might even find a lengthy article that you could use as a tease, publishing the first part and then offering the conclusion next week. You might also publish a newsletter a great Internet marketing tool. You start the article in the newsletter and refer readers to your site for the conclusion.
Whatever you do, make it yours. Your Internet marketing will succeed as a result.

Article Marketing For Profit - Some Places Where You Can Sell Your Writings
Today, there are dozens of places where you can sell your articles. Typically these resources will fit into one of three categories. Depending on your writing style, how quickly you want to make money, and how much you want to make, one venue may work better than another. Without fail, as you develop better writing skills, you will be able to command higher rates no matter what market you choose.
First, you can purchase a market directory, such as Writer's Digest. This is ideal for writers that want to follow a traditional path to paper based publication. Unfortunately, if you have not sold articles before, or are new to the business of writing, it may be very difficult to break in. On the other hand, once you do make a sale, you can expect upwards of $30.00 per article. You may also want to try ezine publications. While they may not pay as much, they will give you some much needed name recognition.
Second, you may want to try offering your services at various freelance work sites. Typically, the articles you write will be designed based on customer specifications. You will also be working as a ghost writer, meaning that your name will never appear in conjunction with the article. Typically, you will be lucky if you get paid $2.00 to $5.00 per article at the beginning.
Irregardless of which method you choose, you should be able to make a decent living. Depending on sales volume, you may even want to work with both markets, and see if you can duplicate success in both places. One thing is for certain, you will always be learning something new, and enjoying the benefit of working on your own.

Online Success - How Article Writing Can Make You Wealthy
Article writing can be very demanding. Along the way you will get dispirited…you'll want to lie down and give up. In the early stages it takes much more effort than we expect. Most of us are not naturally good writers so there are skills to be acquired and new work habits to be developed.
Article writing as a source of leads for your online business will surely challenge you to dig down, suck in and just keep on going.
But it will be worth it!
Why? Because it works!
How does it work? It works because of three things:
1. The big article Directories have very high SEO rankings so you can piggyback on their success to get your site noticed. People searching will find your article. On your own it could take years.
2. With 10 or 20 articles in the works your website will be miraculously indexed by the search engines because of your links to the big article directories…you're on the map.
3. Other Ezine and Newsletter publishers pick up your article and run it in their publication and put it on their site. Others see it on their site and do the same etc. etc.
It just grows and grows!
Article writing will return your effort 100 fold…and in quite a short space of time. But it's like Network Marketing; painfully slow to start, but for those who stick around…the really big payoff!
With article writing you can hit pay dirt in 12 months or less if you are able to stay focused and committed.
Here's why it works so well:
First off-there's not much competition. Lot's of writers get started but they fall off the path. Not too many people are willing to go blindly into the future, performing a demanding task day after day with no noticeable payoff for quite a while.
For a while you have to be happy with milestones…how many people read my articles today? Is my readership growing? (the directories will provide these stats for you).
Most people are looking for the quick fix. You see it everywhere…just send your money and we'll build your business for you.
Folks it doesn't work like that. Most millionaires are business owners and they spent a lifetime steadily building their businesses to get there.
So when you become a committed article writer you join a select community of winners who are willing to go forward in faith until the results show up.
If you stay the course you will be rewarded!
It takes time and commitment to write and publish 200 articles. You need 200 articles in circulation to get enough readers clicking your link, visiting your site, accepting your offer and opting-in to your list.
With 20 articles published you may have only 5 people added to your list and quit writing in despair…don't do that, don't give up. You're almost there.
The growth will be exponential! Here's how it might happen.
With 40 articles your list can grow to 200 plus-with 100 you can have 500 on your list and with 200 articles your list may have grown as big as 2000 subscribers.(PLEASE NOTE:these numbers are just guesstimates. Don't take this as a promise that this is exactly how it will happen for you).
Now you're starting to make some worthwhile income.
If you write just 2 articles a day you can have 200 articles in publication by the end of 3 months.
Once the money starts to flow there'll be no looking back.
Here's the challenge. Can you go the distance? Can you dig in until it starts to happen for you?

Why Ezine Marketing?
Many internet marketers, which of course include affiliate marketers, get lost in the sea of options that they have to advertise their product. I am sure for any newbie, it would be very confusing and can get very frustrating because they might want to try all the methods but would not get results as their efforts are not concentrated. Other methods of exposing or advertising your product are by Pay-Per-Click, forums, blogging and email marketing to name a few. I suggest that you concentrate on ONE method first, get good at it before going on to try another method. So why ezine marketing?
Ezine marketing is to write articles about a particular subject of choice and then posting in ezine directories. The fact that you have found this article means that you are aware of directories but maybe you are just unsure of its advantages.
First, you can increase your target audience. The people who are reading your articles might already be interested in you subject field and thus, you gained their attention. Alternatively, someone new in the subject might find your article interesting and thus be more interested about you and your subject.
Second, is the exposure that you will get. Posting your articles in directories would mean that the whole world could potentially read your article. Thats just about Everybody, isnt it?
Third, you can promote yourself through the resource box. It can introduce you as an expert in your field and it is free! Free advertisement! People will have more trust in your product that you have to offer if they can get to know a little bit more about you. Sometimes, if they can relate to you, they would most likely buy from you. Having your link in the resource box, points the reader to where you want them to go.
So, try ezine marketing for at least a month, writing 2 articles a week and posting the articles to at least 4 directories if not more. Then look at the results that ezine marketing will bring. Good Luck!

Search engines not only index web sites, but they also index published articles as well as any article that is written about your own web site's topic. Once someone searches for that same topic, the list of results will have your site or may even display the articles that you have written.
What content should you have in your articles?
With mandatory quality in your content you must also write about subjects that people are searching for. Providing valuable information without a sales pitch will help you gain respect and eventually customers. Do not write expecting a sale. Write to help others.
Provide tips and solutions to the problems your readers are experiencing.

7 Techniques Guaranteed to Increase URL clicks
We write articles to benefit our readers. The resource box is designed to benefit the writer. Everyone wants to be compensated for the work that they've done, even writers. The resource box is the writer's only possible payment for the work that you've put into the article. That's why it is important to place a well-crafted resource box that sells your website, service, or product. Using the seven techniques described below can increase your URL clicks and improve your chances for receiving fair compensation for your work.
1. Make sure you ask the reader to take action. The first rule in sales is, Ask for the order. Merely stating your name and website is not effective. Instead of: Authors name has operated website xyz on a full time basis for three years. Be more assertive, use the term visit, go to, or click on. The example above would get a higher response rate using Visit website xyz
2. Provide an offer for free information. Offers that provide immediate gratification such as a downloadable product work the best. Make sure that the freebie you provide does a good job of selling the reader on the item that you are promoting.
3. Describe your free offer in detail using a sentence or two. Make sure you tell the reader how this item can benefit them. Stress how the download (or your website) will benefit the reader and how it can solve their problems. This can be particularly effective if the article discusses the problem your link (or website) solves.
4. Give your free download a name that implies that it has value. Free report on is better than sales brochure; free information on is better than sales information.
5. Do not try to be cute or clever, use a direct offer that stresses the benefits.
6. Track your results. Keep records on how many responses you get from each resource box. Refine your best responding offers to fine tune and maximize your response rates.
7. Mention the features, stress the benefits. A feature is a physical description of the product or service; a benefit describes the advantages in using that product. Sell the benefits; paint a picture for your reader. Make an emotional appeal so the viewers can actually see themselves using your product. Features interest the reader, benefits sell the product.
By using the seven techniques described above, you can be assured that you will maximize your opportunities for some sort compensation for your articles.

Article Marketing For Cheap Traffic Results
Article marketing is a cheap way to gain traffic to your website. Although it can be time consuming the results of passive traffic far outweigh the initial effort.
Everyday, there are millions of searches done online by people searching for information on particular keywords in the search engines such as Google, Yahoo or MSN.
The results shown afterwards are websites with content relevant to the keywords being searched online. As a result, these websites gain search engine traffic through the article content on their websites.
Everyone knows that content is king on the Internet hence article marketing is widely used in almost every website. If you provide good content when you write your articles, you are sure to gain traffic to your website.
You don't have to pay a dime to write articles at all. Of course, if you don't have a penchant for writing articles or you cannot write articles on a certain topic, then you can opt to shell out a bit of money to outsource your article writing.
There are many article writers online who are good at what they do and are willing to write for money.
When you submit you articles to major article directories like EzineArticles, your website gets indexed fast. Visitors reading these articles can then be redirected to your website through your resource box at the end of the articles.
Article marketing is also a good way to build back-links to your website. Imagine this, when other websites retrieve your articles from the article directories, they will pull the whole article out including the resource box and display it on their website hence a visitor coming from their website may just visit yours as well.
Writing articles is also a good way to cement yourself as an authority on the subject. When you write good content and compelling articles, you will gain trust as someone who knows in-dept about the subject you are writing on.
So for cheap traffic results, consider article marketing as part of your marketing efforts.
Remember; only write articles that are useful for the reader as well...
