Is Article Marketing Effective?
Every webmaster knows that to gain ranking positions in search engines you need to build links. This usually means hours at a computer submitting your site to directories and emailing other webmasters requesting reciprocal links. There is another way of getting links which often overlooked and complements your current link building strategy, writing articles.
Every website owner needs fresh content. This keeps the search engine spiders coming back and indexing the site on a regular basis. Writing articles and distributing them is an excellent way of providing fresh content for webmasters while ensuring yourself a back link. In this article we’ll provide some answers for commonly asked questions.
What should I be writing about?
It is important that when you start out you write about what you know. You should also ensure that the content is relevant to the site you’ll be promoting in the resource box.
How will people locate my articles?
Once you have finished writing your article you add a resource box to it which contains links to your site. You then submit the article to article listing directories where they are placed in categories. Site owners can then copy them from the directories and use them. They must however keep your links intact
Will Webmasters just delete the links?
This does happen occasionally but it is still quite rare. when you write your articles add a unique phrase to the article. You can then search Google to find your articles and make sure your links are intact. If you find that a webmaster has removed your links then just send him an email and ask him to remove the article or make the link live.
What length should the articles be?
Usually anywhere between 350 words and 500 words is ideal. If you find yourself writing longer article split them up into 2 or 3 separate articles
How many sites should I submit to?
Views are divided on this some people say submit them to as many sites as possible while others think you should only submit unique articles to each site. If you don’t have a tool that will help you to create unique articles then I would suggest making each submission to an article site with a PageRank of 4 or above unique.
How many articles should I be writing?
The more you write the better If 1 article a week gets you an extra 50 links then imagine the links you’ll get if you write one article a day. I usually try to write 1 article before breakfast everyday.
