Article marketing is a "magic pill" for smart internet marketers. When used appropriately, it can be your best tool in driving potential clients to your website, improving your search engine ranking, and dramatically increasing your sales potential.

1. Know your potential audience. In order to make your content and writing format targeted, you need to identify first who you are writing for. When you know the needs and demands of your potential audience, you can be more effective in picking the most appropriate information for your content.

2. Be an expert on your field. Don't stop learning. Always keep yourself abreast with information that may directly or indirectly affect your target niche. Make it a habit to read articles, ebooks, or even news articles to keep yourself updated. When you are equipped with the latest information, you can be a great source of fresh content for your readers.

3. Know the basic of article marketing. If you want to be successful in this field, you need to know the elements that will make you stand out from the rest. Some of the considerations you need to keep in mind are the following: Produce quality, content-rich articles, write and submit articles regularly, create killer resource box, and increase your click through rates by giving your articles compelling, attention-grabbing titles.

4. Hone your writing skills. The success of your article marketing campaign largely depends on the quality of articles you produce. Enhance and eventually perfect your writing skills through constant practice and reading effective articles and ebooks online.

5. Solicit feedback. Suggestions, comments, and feedback can greatly help you identify the weak points of your articles so you can immediately improve on them. This can result to better articles every time you write.

There are millions of people who are making huge money through article marketing.

1. Improve the quality of your articles.

What is the bum marketing method? It is simply article marketing and affiliate marketing combined. Travis Sago, the inventor of this name made a lot of noise last year, and many people are confused.

I will answer to several questions to help beginners trying to earn a few bucks online. But first, you need to understand that the bum marketing method is a short term strategy.

First, you need to write and submit articles to the top article directories. These are ezinearticles, goarticles and searchwarp.

I don't have a lot of success with searchwarp, and in fact I stopped submitting articles there.

But there is a little problem with this method. To earn money, you need to practice direct linking. This means that you link directly to the merchant's website.

While you can make anywhere between a few hundreds and a few thousands dollars per month with this method, I don't recommend that you send visitors directly to the merchant. Send them to your own landing page instead because in this case, you are in control of your traffic.

I do not say that direct linking doesn't work, but a landing page is the best way to do it.

Another mistake made by bum marketers is that they try to sprinkle their associate links inside the article. This is really annoying for article owners, and most of them won't even bother publishing your articles.

Another benefit of linking to your own webpage is that search engines will notice the surge in inbound links and your website will have higher rankings in the search engines.

What should you have on your landing page?

It is good to have an opt-in form to capture your visitors email addresses. Then, you will redirect them to the affiliate page with your autoresponder series. It's a proven fact that most of the buyers won't do it at the first visit and you need to expose the offer to your reader several times for maximum conversion.

Article marketing continues to wow both new and seasoned marketers as it never fails to deliver great results. It has been the preferred marketing technique of webmasters who would like to augment their website's traffic and increase their online revenue.

Here are the 5 new ways to accelerate your article marketing:

1. Article submission sites. Register with the best publishing sites over the internet. While you are at it, make sure that you carefully read and understand the terms set by each site. It would help if you can note them down so you can review them when writing your articles.

2. Search engines. You need to know how to please the search engines so they will properly index your articles. Optimize your content by identifying relevant keywords within your niche through the use of keyword suggestion tool. Then, use major keywords on your titles and all throughout your article body. Be aware about acceptable keyword density to avoid being penalized for keyword spamming.

3. Articles. Your articles are your best tool in this marketing strategy. You need to make sure that all of them are well-written, content-rich, easy to understand, scannable, short, direct to the point, keyword-rich, and targeted to the needs and demands of your target market so they will be read and republished by other online users.

4. Submission. To easily increase your inbound links, strive to widely distribute your articles not only on publishing sites but also on forums, blogs, and on your website.

5. Resource box. This is the part where you have to tell your readers who you are, what you do, and what problems you solve. Your resource box must be compelling so you can drive online users to your website. Communicate your expertise, your desire to help, and the reasons why online users should trust you and check on your website.

Thousands, if not millions of marketers are growing more and more satisfied with article marketing not only because it delivers great results but also, it is very easy to utilize. Anyone can actually do it even if they don't have the money to spare, as long as they can write quality articles, they will surely succeed in this traffic-generating technique. Here are the latest 5 targeted methods to increase your article marketing:

1. Make sure that your articles are informative. Remember, the only reason why online users will open your article is because they are looking for useful information. To meet this need, fill your articles with data that are relevant to your potential clients.

2. Write articles that are relevant to your products and services. The reason behind this is very obvious. You are writing articles to promote your offerings, thus, articles that are not related to your products will not help you close a sale.

3. Proofread your articles. Before you submit your articles to publishing sites, make sure that they are free from any error. Also, make sure that your ideas are presented in a logical way and your sentences are easy to understand.

4. Pick the best publishing sites. Not all publishing sites are created equal; some are not even indexed by Google! To make sure that your articles get the exposure they need, stick to those publishing sites that have high page ranking and great online traffic like EzineArticles.com.

5. Cross reference your articles. Once you got the attention of an online user, make sure he or she can get an instant access to your other articles. You can include link on your resource box that will take the reader to your other articles for further reading.

Sean Mize is a full time internet marketer who has written over 1574 articles in print and 11 published ebooks.

For the last two years, I've been the proud owner of a successful internet marketing website. Technically, it's an article directory, although I consider it much more than that.

But before I even built my website, I developed my USP in my mind.

What's a USP?

USP is an acronym of the model used to differentiate or distinguish yourself from your competitors:

U="Unique" S="Selling" P-"Proposition" (Unique Selling Proposition).

In other words, it's what makes my article directory different from the thousands of other article directories on the Internet.

So, what's my USP?

Interviews, quality articles and Internet Marketing experts.

I will only accept quality articles written by professional Internet Marketing experts. I have a "zero tolerance" policy for poorly written or garbage articles.

I simply will not feature garbage articles on my site.

So, how am I able to maintain such strict quality control?

Simple. I personally read every article that's submitted, before it's approved and released into the system.

Fortunately, my website attracts talented writers and experts, so I rarely have to reject anyone's articles.

I also feature interviews of the expert authors on my website. I interview internet marketing experts, as well as individuals who are on their way to becoming experts.

When I decided author interviews were going to be an important feature of my website, I also decided I was going to approach internet marketing superstars, regardless of how famous or successful they were. And that's exactly what I did.

So, how did I do?

Well, as you can imagine, I got shot down a lot! I got rejected over and over again by big name marketers.

Did all of those rejections discourage me at all?

No. In fact, it had the exact opposite effect. All of those rejections actually fueled my fire. I became even more determined to succeed. I wanted to show everyone who had rejected me that I intended to become a major player.

And then one day it happened. A big name marketer consented to an interview. And then another consented and another! And before I knew what was happening, I was on my way!

But something else happened too. Not only did a lot of big name Internet Marketing superstars consent to an interview, they also validated me and gave me sincere words of encouragement.

I'm talking about people like Shelley Lowery, Jim Daniels, John Carlton, Clayton Makepeace, Chris Knight, Harvey Segal and many others.

These individuals have definitely helped to accelerate my career, and for that, I am truly grateful!

I also noticed a distinct parallel about the people I interview. Almost without exception, the higher they are on the success ladder, the more gracious and kind they are. These individuals clearly haven't forgotten where they came from.

And that's a lesson in life, we'd all be wise to remember!

If you're tired of all the money-making hype, lies and scams...read this! http://guruknowledge.org/pages/The-Super-Affiliate-Handbook

I have written articles about writing articles in the past, but not about what you do with them, once they're written. OK, so let's go into that now...

After you've finished your article, you need to re-write it, paragraph by paragraph. So, you'll look at paragraph one in article one and think about what it says. Write a paragraph that means the same thing with different words. Here's an example:

Why do people say that list building is the most important thing an Internet Marketer needs to do? Well, without a list, there's not much money to be made. You have to train your list to realize that you're someone who can be trusted to recommend quality products to them, products that work and that you've tried yourself. When they know that, they'll be more likely to buy things from you.

OK, now, let's rewrite that whole paragraph:

If you don't have a list, you won't succeed in Internet Marketing. That's it. You need to build a group of people who like your messages. They have to trust you. And, they have to know that you've already tried whatever you want to sell them and think it's great!

Doesn't the second paragraph say pretty much the same thing as the first? The words are different, but the concept is the same: Internet marketers won't succeed without building trust with a list. Now, take the next paragraph and do the same thing. Rewrite it completely. Then, move to the third paragraph and so on. If you use vertical tiling of your windows, you'll be able to look at all three versions at the same time. Then, when you've finished, do it again. Rewrite the whole article again.

Why is that important?

Easy. Search engines hate duplicate or "dupe" content. Don't put the same article on your site or blog that you distribute. It's just tons of duplicate content flooding the Web. Search engines want the best search possible for their clients. If they put up a whole page of one article, people won't like it. So, only one site gets credit for each article, and it won't necessarily be you. You want the link in your resource box to be pointing back to your list building page, giving it help with page rank, all the time.

Rewriting your article twice is a good way to get around the dupe content issue. Put one article version on your blog or website, give one version to Ezine Articles or another high-traffic site and let the third version go to a distribution site, like iSnare. That way, you'll be sure to get the maximum benefit from writing and rewriting just one article.

Any article you have in distribution, though the search engines may not count it, will still provide free traffic to your list building page. That's why it's important to do it this way. You'll get credit for the article on your site. Credit for a link back from the high-traffic article directory, and maybe one back from the distributed article or more. It takes a bit for the search engines to filter out the duplicate stuff. Plus, you can turn your three articles into many, many more by mixing paragraphs from the three versions.

However, there will be a threshold. You can only mix and match so much. One way to find your dupe content ratio is by going to DupeCop.com. Be sure that any article you use for distribution is at least 35% different from other articles you've submitted, and you'll have more links pointing back to your site.

The whole idea is to get maximum mileage out of your idea. Some people have trouble coming up with them, and rewriting is a good way to have new material with the same idea. It's much easier than coming up with a whole new idea and starting all over again. Make your articles as useful as they can possibly be.

If you want to article market like a pro, than I suggest that you check out these simple steps. If you want to really succeed in article marketing, you have to be dedicated and you have to work hard. You need to write hundreds of articles so you can flood the market. So check out these simple steps to make your article the best possible article that it can be.

1. Put in valuable information. Don't just write slop. You have to make sure that your article will give the reader information that they will have for the rest of their lives. Remember, articles are not about spamming your audience about your product, it's about setting up a relationship with your audience.

2. Make your own articles if you want to be an article marketing expert. I cannot stress this enough. If you go out and pay someone to write you articles, your not going to learn anything, and your not going to be a reliable source. You have to write the information yourself and actually do the work. There is no room in this world for lazy people.

3. Write unique content. Make your articles yours. Make it your own. Find your writing style and stick with it. This writing style is what's going to be driving in the traffic that you want. So this is the most important step!

4. Make it short and quick. Don't drag out the article! When in doubt leave it out. If your thinking if you should put extra information in it, don't do it!

5. Stick to the point. Please don't go off topic. If someone is searching for information about computers, don't start talking about light bulbs. Give your viewers what they want.

That's all that you need to know to write a successful article. Just keep writing and you'll get to the first page. I promise!

All internet marketers want to have people coming to their web sites. On the internet this has come to be known as traffic. I'm not sure I really like that word too much though.

According to dictionary dot com, traffic is defined as: "the movement of vehicles, ships, persons, etc., in an area, along a street, through an air lane, over a water route, etc." We usually think of it as something you want to avoid.

Again, according to dictionary dot com, visitor is defined as: "person who visits, as for reasons of friendship, business, duty, travel, or the like."

Now here is my question - which one do you want coming to your web site or blog?

Now before you say that this is just semantics, consider which one you are holding in your thoughts as you write an article or an email. Traffic sounds like some anonymous group of people. Visitors sound like people, even individual people.

I've come to favor the term visitors because this allows me to hold real actual people in my mind as I write articles, emails and create products. I believe this makes a difference in the "know, like and trust" factor. When you are writing to traffic I think the potential know, like and trust factor is low. When you are writing to visitors I think the potential know, like and trust factor is high.

The really great thing is that article marketing is a powerful way to bring visitors to your web sites and blogs.

And now I would like to offer you access to a free CD on how to drive an endless stream of visitors to your web sites and blogs. You can claim your access by going to http://www.VisitorExplosionSystem.com

Postcard marketing is one of the most, if not the most, effective promotional strategy you could ever use to market your products and services. Postcards are very popular marketing vehicles because of their capability to do repetitive marketing that helps in having your target audience recognize and retain your brand in their minds.

With postcards, you have the opportunity to add to your current list of customers which would mean more possible sales for your business. But what if you could multiply your sales? Wouldn't it be wonderful if you can do that?

You can with these killer strategies:

Follow-up. This is the common mistake that most sales agents make when they get a sale - they keep forgetting to follow-up on a client. The very first time you make your sale, you have to follow it up with a thank you note maybe or even a token that shows you appreciate the business that your customer brought to your company. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to send an email or postcard printing piece just to let your customer know that they are appreciated.

And while you're at it, why not include an ad for your other products. Who knows, your customer might just be encouraged to buy again after your show of gratitude.

Upsell. When marketing to your target customers, you just don't sell your main product, you also have to 'upsell' by telling them about some of the related products in your list. Take your postcard printing pieces to a new level and show your target audience even those products that are not very popular. Add a few discounts here and there for good measure. Your prospects may just add more items to their original order.

Referrals. Getting referrals form a satisfied customer is a sure way to boost your sales. But don't just ask; motivate your customers to refer your business to others by giving them incentives that they couldn't resist. How about a full rebate of their purchase price when they give you a referral? Or a special discount on their favorite product when they give you more?

Affiliate. This is how one cosmetics company was able to turn itself into a conglomerate known the world over. They sell a product to their customers and then they recruit their customers into their affiliate program by giving them discounts and commissions every time they were able to sell a product. You make your customers your very own sales agents. This sure can multiply your sales rate faster than you can think about it.

Cross-promote. This is the trend nowadays: small businesses cross-promote with other credible businesses to keep them going. Let's face it. Marketing your business is very expensive that small companies can have a difficult time with very limited budget to work on. But if you cross-promote, you are able to have the opportunity to market like a large business enterprise that has money to spend. You could have a package deal with your partners. You can include their products and services in your postcard marketing, and vice versa.

We hope we have helped you multiply your sales. Till the next postcard marketing strategy. Godspeed!

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, your article needs to informative and well written. The user should want to read the entire article. Put a unique slant on your topic. Throw a bit of your personality into your article. You aren't writing for a computer, you want humans to actually read it and finish it! Then check it for spelling and grammar errors. If it seems it's written by a 2nd grader, nobody is going to trust what you say! Now, you'll need to send out unique copies of the article to each publisher. The duplicate content penalty is real. The true name should be the omitted results penalty, but under any name it damages your chances of building links and generating traffic. Create at least 3 versions of your article and get a software tool to merge them into a unique readable whole to be sent out.

Finally send out your articles to as many publishers as possible. There are dozens of software packages and services available to submit your article, though only a handful while send out unique content automatically. You can find some though, including free ones. Once you have the software, spend at least a hour a week building up your list of websites, newsletters and other publishers. Don't stop until you have at least a list of 5,000.

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 it takes is a little extra time, which most people aren't willing to put in. Hardly a cost at all. Stand out from the clutter by taking action today.

Article marketing is one of the best ways to boost your business. In fact, many business people already know and are experiencing the benefits of article marketing. If you don't know, you are about to realize just how great article marketing can be when utilized to boost your online business. The goal of this article is to let you in on the article marketing secrets your competitor doesn't want you to know!

How Article Marketing Can Help Your Business

The reason so many business people are utilizing article marketing is because it really does work. It has become one of the best ways to get information out to the public. When you submit quality articles to article marketing directories, you are able to build your credibility and expertise within your particular niche. Not only do potential customers learn to trust you, but you are able to generate a lot of new traffic to your website!

Secrets That Your Competitor Wants to Keep Quiet!

One of the biggest secrets that business people are trying to keep quiet is their writers. Most of these business individuals use freelance writers or ghostwriters to handle their article marketing campaigns. The truth is that you could probably write your articles yourself; however, freelance or ghostwriters are accustomed to churning out a lot of articles in a small amount of time. Also, these articles are quality, keyword-rich articles that are optimized for search engines. This means that those articles have a better chance of being displayed first in the search engine pages when specific keywords are searched. Sure, you have to pay a freelance writer or a ghostwriter, but with a good one, your return on investment can be huge!

Another thing that a freelance writer or ghostwriter is able to do for your article marketing campaign is bring the articles to the customers in the right way. See, customers don't want to read a lot of sales-type articles or hype. When the potential customer reads your article, they have to want to go to your page and see your products. It should never be suggested to them and, in fact, the service

or product that you are trying to sell should only be one of many that are included in the article. When this is done in the proper way, your potential customer will always want to click on the link and visit your page. This is a subtle and fine art that many people aren't able to pull off the way a professional ghostwriter can.

There are many other benefits that come from using ghostwriters that your competitors don't want you to know. They are hoping that you attempt to write the articles yourself, and take up all of your other time in order to format the articles in the correct way. Better yet, perhaps you have no idea how to format the article, so you will fail and that is certainly better for them! Don't let your competitor get one over on you! Talk to a ghostwriter and find out about article marketing and the truth of how to accomplish success with it.

If you've started an online business, you know that you need to promote consistently to get traffic and sales. Although there are many ways you can promote, article marketing delivers great, on-going results at minimal cost. In this article we'll look at the top three tips for using articles to market your business.

Here they are:

1. Post articles on article directories

Not familiar with article marketing? Marketing using articles means offering free information as a form of advertising. Not only will your business become more widely known, it will also gain respect and credibility.

Article marketing is a form of advertising, but it's much more effective than advertising, because when you stop paying for an ad, you lose traffic. Your articles stay online, and will bring traffic to your Web site for years.

Once you've written an article, post it to article directories online. You can choose a general directory, or one which is more targeted to your audience.

Over time, your articles will spread across the Web, bringing a flow of traffic. You won't see the full effects of your article publishing push for months, so it's important that when you start article marketing, you keep creating and publishing them - their effect on your site's traffic is cumulative.

2. Post articles to your own Web sites and blogs

In addition to posting articles on article directories, post them to your site as well. This increases your site's content, and will boost your site in the search engine rankings.

Before you start publishing your articles to your site, create a structure, so that your articles form a real resource for your site's visitors. Although you'll still get traffic if you just dump all your articles into an "Articles" directory, you'll get better results if you think about leading your site's visitors around your site to make a purchase or take other action when they arrive at one of your articles.

After you've published an article on your site, don't move it elsewhere on your site unless it's absolutely necessary, because if you do, you'll break links which other sites have created to reference specific articles.

3. Post article collections to sites like Squidoo and Scribd

The more backlinks (links pointing to your site) the better. There are many ways you can get more backlinks. One of the easiest ways is to post your articles on sites like Squidoo and Scribd.

Squidoo allows you to create "lenses", one-page topic sites. Create several lenses on topics relevant to your site, and post article collections to these lenses, pointing back to your site. Not only are your lenses a source of backlinks, they're also a source of traffic.

Squidoo is very popular; you can build a real community there, providing further support to your site.

The Scribd site lets you put documents online, and make them public. Think of Scribd as YouTube for documents. Collect your articles into collections, and post them to Scribd. You can post your articles in a variety of formats: text, HTML, Adobe PDF, and more.

As with Squidoo, you can build a community at Scribd when people make your documents favorites. Scribd will bring your site traffic, and will increase your backlinks too.

So there you are - you now have three powerful ways in which you can use article marketing to promote your online business.

For those of you unfamiliar with viral marketing, the concept is simple. Produce something that can be passed easily from one person to another and then encourage them to do so. This can be a free report, audio, video or anything else that can be passed along easily. If all goes well, people start passing your message around. He tells two friends, she tells two friends, they tell two friends kind of thing. As you can see, if your virus catches on, you'll be able to get your message in front of exponentially more people than you could ever do by yourself.

To keep things simple, I'm going to focus on viral reports as the medium of the virus. They have been around for a long time, and are the easiest to develop. But just because they've been around a while, doesn't mean everyone knows how to create a free report that gets spread around like a virus. Later in this article I'm going to go over 3 big reasons free reports fail to become viral.

But first...

I want to make sure you understand WHY viral marketing is so powerful. It might not be immediately understood why getting your message spread around like a virus is so important. In simple terms, it is because it can bring more traffic to your website, can get more people to subscribe to your email list and produce more sales for your products or affiliate recommendations.

So, this is big: don't produce a report that you want to go viral without a link back to your website, a link to promote your list and links to your products or affiliate recommendations. I know this might be obvious, but if you do get a report to go viral, you want to make sure it works to improve your business. The last thing you want si to get a report spreading all over the web that doesn't do anything to bring more traffic, get more subscribers or put more money in your pocket.

And while I'm talking of the obvious... make sure you let them know they can pass it along! You don't want them wondering if it's alright to pass it along. You want them to act.

OK, what are the 3 biggest reasons reports don't go viral?

Reason 1: Wrong Topic. In order for a report to be spread around, it must be something MANY people want to know about. Forget about "niches" for viral reports. You want a BIG, HUNGRY market looking for information. The topic must apply to a lot of people... or else why would someone send it along to their friends?

Once you have your HOT topic in a big market, make sure the title grabs the attention of the market. You need to immediately convey this is something they MUST read.

Reason 2: Poor Quality. Ok, you got your hot topic and get people to download and read your report. The information inside MUST be of high-quality. Yes, this is a free report and shouldn't be expected to give away everything, but it still must be of value all by itself. If it isn't, why would anyone want to pass it along?

So, make sure your free report is "valuable" as a stand-alone report.

Reason 3: No Backup. Even if you create a high-quality report on a HOT topic in a crowded, hungry market... it doesn't mean the report will go viral. Why? Simply, because people are lazy and need a GOOD REASON to take the time to send the report along.

One of the best reasons I can think of to get people to pass along your report is to let them brand the report with their affiliate links. Then they'll pass the report along because the more exposure the report gets, the more likely they are to make money.

But if you really want to get the report spreading like a virus, you should go one step further and provide guidance and resources to help people promote the report. Don't just say, "Send out an email". Give them a email they can cut-and-paste. Give them report graphics. Give them articles. Give them everything they need to make spreading the report as easy and as profitable as possible.

Then you'll have a highly successful viral marketing campaign that spreads quickly.

There certainly are a lot of ways to make Money on the Internet. To create fast profits online one of the best ways to do that is to build an opt in mailing list. In this article we will discuss ways to do that.

First of all, but be sure that you know, e-mail marketing is not a bad strategy. People use e-mail every day, and may well open yours, if it's something they look forward to reading.

- Secondly, spam is not e-mail that people look forward to reading. So if you're sending unwanted emails stop it. You need to be sending out email to people that have agreed to receive it from you.

- Building a list is all about helping people opt in, meaning that they have agreed you can send them e-mail. This is not as easy as it sounds as people are given choices every day as to who they can receive email from. Your success in building an opt in list all starts with your ability to market successfully on the Internet.

- To market your list on the Internet you need to promote a landing page with an auto responder sign up form. Your landing page is a webpage where people give you their name and email address in exchange for something from you.

- You promote your landing page the same way as you do a regular website. You do it anyway you can including traffic exchanges, pay per click advertising, e-zine advertising, and so on. Your goal is to drive as much traffic to your landing page and then convert some of that into subscribers to your list.

It is important that you work with your list while you are building it. Cultivating a list is something that takes time, but can reap long term benefits. The way to create fast profits from a cultivated list is to market to it selectively.

- Selective marketing means you don't mail out anything and everything that you come across. When someone hears from you, they expect it to be good and you deliver. The benefit of this is when you do mail out an offer a high percentage of people will buy from you.

A good quality mailing list can be worth as much as one dollar per person, per month. Then just build a larger mailing list and you can make more money. And again, you do not do that by spamming, but rather by earning your subscribers, one at a time.

This will allow you to create more online profits over and over. And if you're ever in a position where you need to make fast profits you send out a mailer to your list and watch the money come in!

Once you apply the multipliers which is search engine data for content sites, affiliate programs for sales sites and then after one-time promotions, my #1 strategy which I have found to be the most effective method of getting traffic to new sites as well as old is submitting articles with a short promotional blurb in a resource box at the end of the article.

There are many avenues to get your articles distributed. You can posting articles at EzineArticles.com or GoArticles.com, Associated Content and SearchWarp all good places to submit. You can also use services like iSnare.com or ArticleMarketer.com and pay to have your articles distributed. Another way to distribute is to use software like Article Submitter Pro or Article Post Robot.

There is nothing wrong with any of these techniques. I have used them all successfully. But there is a much, much more powerful method of article marketing that most marketers miss- ezine and newsletter marketing.

First I want you to get a grip on the potential of article marketing and then I want you to get a grip on how small of a slice of the pie the above methods cover. Go to Google and type your one word topic followed by the word "article" and then followed by the word "articles". So if your topic is "golf", then search for: golf article, golf articles. Then repeat the above process using "ezine", "ezines", "newsletter" plus "newsletters". I want you to make a note of how many search results are returned for each of these -these are the results your competition is missing. Thousands of article marketers are all competing for the attention of just a tiny fraction of the total market for article distribution, while missing the important ezine and newsletter channel for distribution.

This is where ArticleROI can be a powerful tool in your arsenal - it submits to hundreds of built-in ezines and newsletters, and allow you to add an unlimited amount of your own, custom publishers.

Article marketing is a free strategy that webmasters can use to generate free website traffic. It is an effective form of website promotion that works by submitting unique and informative articles to high traffic article directories as well as those with a high search engine page rank. These articles are available for free download for use on websites and ezines on the stipulation that the writer's article resource bio remains intact. Internet marketing articles can not only get free traffic to your website through direct visits from the article itself, they can help to raise your search engine results page rank by increasing relevant one-way links to your site.

The success of your resource information in article marketing hinges on the quality of the article itself. Not only does an article need to be well written and engaging, it must offer information that gives value to your target audience. The topic should relate to your website theme, otherwise your traffic will not be targeted and therefore of little value to you. The content gives you the opportunity to establish your credentials as an expert in your field and to gain reader trust.

Your resource bio in article marketing is really your payment for submitting the article. You provide a free article that people can use and in return your business is marketed through the bio that remains intact. It is therefore very important to use your resource box effectively.

The basic information your resource box should include is your name (and title if applicable), your website address with a valid URL (make sure it is a live link), your marketing pitch or unique selling proposition, and your call to action. It is not a good idea to a number of different calls to action in a given resource box. Keep it simple. Your call to action might be to visit your website, download a free e-book, or subscribe to a newsletter.

Another important consideration in compiling your resource bio is to use anchor text in your URL that is related to one keyword or keyword phrase that you want to use for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes. For example, if you run a website which is focused on debt consolidation you can enhance search engine relevance for the term 'debt consolidation' by linking the term in your resource box to your website.

As with your article, your resource information should have clearly stated benefits for the reader. In other words they will be able to see a personal benefit in clicking on your link. It is also important to keep your article resource bio to a reasonable size. It shouldn't be too big. Chris Knight of Ezine Articles suggests that it should be no more than twenty percent of the total size of the article.

Your article resource bio is an important aspect of article marketing. After all, the purpose behind article submission to high traffic article directories is to get free traffic to your website. Your resource box is the doorway from your article to your website. If you craft it well on the foundation of an informative and valuable article, your website and business will benefit substantially.

Create An Opening Paragraph That Effectively Describes Your Page Content

It's a fact that most established search engines love content, however they are especially fond of the first 25 words on each page. By providing an opening paragraph that perfectly or appropriately describes the content of the rest of the page , or the site itself, you would be able to include your vital keyword phrases in this important area.

When users first arrive in a Web page, the first thing that they will need to know is whether that exact offers the information they're looking for. A logical step in finding out, is to scan through the first paragraph, which, if it appropriately and comprehensively describes the page content, should be very helpful.

Remember To Utilize Meaningful Page Titles

A meaningful page title helps your Web site's visitors to get a full understanding of where they are,both within the site, and on the Internet as a whole. As you probably know already, the page title is the first thing that loads up, generally quite a few seconds before the actual content, therefore a descriptive, keyword-rich page title can truly help in effective user orientation to your site.

If you don't know that much about SEO yet, you'll find out that most search engines put a premium on the page title than on any other of the page's attributes. If the title comprehensively describes the content of that page, the legitimate search engines should be able to accurately discern what that page is actually about.

Make It A Habit To Provide High-Quality Content

Although this may sound like an off-beat characteristic of a search-optimized Web site, it's actually a very important one. Most standard search engines, in addition to page content, verify at the number of links that are pointing into the Web pages.

Generally, the more inbound links a Web site has, the higher will the site's search rankings appear. In writing and providing unique, interesting, fresh and regularly updated content on your Web site, this will make other Web masters want to link to your site. By doing that, it would also be able to provide extra value to their site, and to their visitors as well.

Comprehensively optimizing your online firm's Web site for both search engines and online visitors, shouldn't be seen as a mere trade-off., because while there is a significant overlap between the tasks required to achieve these two vital objectives, this overlap can be used to your advantage. It shouldn't be too challenging to create a Web site that users can easily locate via the search engines, and completely use once they reach it.
