Article Marketing The Slightly Harder (But Effective) Way

One of the most powerful ways to drive traffic to your site is by submitting articles to publishers. Most internet marketers fail to show great results when article marketing because they fail to follow a few simple rules to make their articles stand out from the clutter.

The first step is creating a powerful headline. You should spend a good portion of your time on the headline itself. Make it something compelling and interesting. It should make the user want to know more about what you are writing about. If you can't get people to stop and take a look at your article, who cares what's written in your article? Nobody. Again, spend some time on the headline, it's worth it.

Next, the article needs to be engaging, informative and well written. You need to compel the user to read the entire article. Try to create a unique angle or slant on the topic. Then throw a bit of your unique personality into the mix. You are writing for humans here, not a computer, humans want to laugh and cry. Make sure to check for spelling and grammar errors. Even if you impart some very important wisdom in your article. If it seems like it was written by a 4th grader, nobody is going to believe what you say. Now, you'll want to send out unique versions to each publisher. The duplicate content penalty isn't a myth. The real name should be the omitted results penalty, but under any name it hurts your chances of creating back links that count and driving traffic. Create 3 different versions of your article and get a software tool to combine them into a unique coherent whole.

Finally, make sure to send your article to as many ezine owners as is possible. There are dozens of software packages and services available to submit your article, though only a handful while send out unique content automatically. There are some gems to be found, including for the best price - free! I suggest you spend at least an hour each week building up a list of ezine and newsletter publishers and websites until you are submitting your articles to 5,000 publishers or more.

Once you do these things you will find the search engines love you more, traffic will flow to you and you'll have more back links. All these things for just a few extra minutes at your computer and a little elbow grease. Hardly a cost at all. Stand out from the clutter by taking action today.
