Article Marketing Can Work For You If You Follow These Tips

By Jorge Luis Borges


It's important to write great content for your website, but it's also important to market that content. Writers have to be willing to work to attract readers to their articles. To do that, they need to learn about article marketing. In this article, you'll find a selection of tips that will help you get started.

If you want to raise your chances of your article being found by searches, don't make the mistake of publishing it in more than one place. Far better to publish it once, under a single URL, and linking to it with tags from other locations. This is because Google's way of ranking pages in searches is based on the number and quality of links to a single page. The more times your page appears, the more places those links will accumulate, and the weaker your search results will be.

Don't pack too much into the emails you send out. Spam is disliked and guarded against legally, so include content in your emails that will provide another entry to your website instead of just another email full of spammy material. If you don't do that you will lose readers and ultimately customers.

Article marketing can be a very effective way to drive traffic to your business, but you should never attempt to use shoddy techniques, like automated article writers. These software programs produce horrendous work that will get you thrown off of most article directories in a hurry. Do it yourself or outsource it, but never automate the process.

So, you've written and posted your article on the directories. What should you do next? Try tweeting about your article a few times per day. Pick several small excerpts to tweet and make sure that they clearly address your chosen topic. This can pique the interest of your followers, and begin to build a flow of traffic to your article.

Consider running your articles in a blog format and not pitching a product in every article. People will read quality articles, but they will tire of constant marketing. If you place your call to action, in every fourth or fifth article, it can drive more conversions than if you are beating the marketing drum in every post.

Even if you're outsourcing the writing of your site, make sure that you always come across as personal and as original as possible. A good way to go about this, is to write your own page and then send it to a professional for the final touches.

Find out if your article really flows as well as you think it does. Read it aloud in front of a friend or family member to get their advice. If something does not sound quite right to you, or to them, you may need to change it up a little bit.

Rewriting programs and services can boost the total volume of articles you can use in a marketing program, but you should not rely on them exclusively. Spun and rewritten articles are not as popular as original content, with readers or search engines. The core of your article marketing campaign should always be high-quality hand-crafted articles.

It's a good idea to mix up the kinds of articles you write so you have a variety to choose from. Don't just write "Q&A"� pieces or "how to" guides. Alternate these styles, or throw in a "top 10" list. Rotate through the different types, and see which are attracting the most attention.

Article marketing can be a bit confusing to those that aren't well aware of the process, but once you start learning more about it, you will get the process and all that it works for. You have to know how to work it and work it right, and this article's tips are a great source from which to start.
