Life, Death and Article Marketing


Most people starting their internet venture will be looking for ways to promote their site for free and the best way to do this is with article marketing. The number of locations articles can be placed is enormous with each one containing a link back to a site of your choice. Many places accept articles without any charge but they should be sites with a good page rank. You'll be seeing an increase in your website traffic should happen in a very short space of time. Top sites are also viewed by search engines as authority sites so it is to your benefit in many ways to have your content accepted, do not underestimate the power of trust in the online world.

This process of article marketing by submission to various sites, if carried out routinely, will ensure people read more of your work and actively look for it as your reputation grows. This is why it is so important to show people that you know what you are talking about so they trust the content you provide in the area you write about. In time your website's ranking with Google and other search engines will increase from the number of incoming links you have. You should find in time that more visitors have found you via the search engines. The more websites that link to yours, the more traffic you will achieve, all of this comes with no charge so you are actually able to market yourself for free.

Article marketing not only allows links in the body text of the article but in the resource box at the foot of the page. Each time your article is placed (with the links) on another site, it just helps boost the ranking of your own website! Sometimes, however, search engines can take some time before they actually list your site, Google can actually take months on occasion. Although you cannot rush the search engines directly, submitting more articles and using the authority sites will help enormously.

This tactic serves a dual purpose by helping to improve site rank and increase the amount of content on your site which also helps with ranking. Remember that visitors do not know that your website is trying to get them to buy something. There is no reason why you cannot be truthful about what you are doing once they reach your website provided they have useful information. It is once they have entered your site where you have the chance to sell to them. Doing it this way ensures the visitor is not mislead and is happy to be shown what you are selling. It is this approach that prevents a good many refunds from taking place.

It is this process of article marketing that ensures you will be in business for a long time. Regularly submitting articles is necessary and should not be viewed as something you only have to do once. Remember, if you have an interesting site you will also receive links from other website owners who may also use your article as well. Having your article duplicated on other people's sites can bring a great deal of traffic. There are no charges to article marketing and is still the number one way to get traffic to your site, all you have to do is ensure your content is 'on topic' and unique to have constant visitors.
