In my regular scouring of the internet marketing do's and don'ts, I
come across an endless sea of opinions, many of them contradictory of
other opinions by internet marketers and gurus. You may have seen
something like what I'm referring to. Some internet marketers will tell
you "Adsense is dead", while others assure you that "There's still life
in Adsense and other Pay Per Click programs!" One of the topics that
has come to my attention recently is regarding the use of articles to
raise the search ranking of your website and do some honest to goodness
SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
There are several aspects to SEO, of course. This article takes a
look at articles and how their content can be used to your advantage to
build your website popularity.
One opinion I've seen time and time again that has been trumpeted
by scores of marketers, and that has never been contested, is "search
engines love content." I'll go a step further and say, "Search engines
love original content."
If you want to see what I'm referring to, do a search under "article
sites" and see how many directories you pull up. Article directories
are out there in droves, keeping a large supply of articles that can be
(and usually are) used by people publishing ezines or adding content to
their sites. I've submitted articles to several of these sites for
free. Here's why submitting articles is a win-win situation:
Win for you: You get to include a "resource box" with your article,
which can be a link back to your website (or the affiliate site you are
promoting)
Win for them: ezine publishers need to come up with articles every
day/week/month. Webmasters want their proverbial "regularly updated
content." Article directories give them the ammo they need to keep
their updates regular and their content fresh.
Of course, this does mean you will need to write. If you like to
write already, great - get started! If writing is about as fun for you
as pulling your teeth with rusty jumper cables, all is not lost. My
suggestion is to look at sites like Elance (www.elance.com) and look
for writers on the topic you want to cover. Elance has a bidding
system, which allows you to post a project for bids and let prospective
writers bid on it.
Once you have your article written, you will need to submit it.
There is an endless array of article sites on the web. You can also
take a shortcut by trying an article submission tool. Here's one I use
that works very well (In fact, this article you're reading now was
submitted using this very software): http://tinyurl.com/2nhqft
Something else to remember - SEO will take awhile. Even if you have
submitted articles, you must give them time to make their way into the
hands of those people who will publish them on sites and on the web.
So there you have it - articles help you promote your web site the write way!
