Article Marketing Basics

Featured

OK, now you have your website up and running, and you have quite few nice items for sale, probably you also offer some interesting services, everything looks quite elegant, except one slight problem, no one is visiting your site. You’ve tried the traditional way, you distribute cards in the parking lot, attending shows to give out catalog and gifts, mail out coupons to thousands of potential customers, only to find that there is still not too many people will come to your site, not mention make enough sales to cover your cost. What happened? Why all these proven ways of doing business don’t work here? The reason is simple, people are relying on search engines to find them deals, they won’t be able to see you if you’re not visible on search engines.

How to make your site visible on the search engines? To make your site seen by people, you need to be on the first page of google and other search engines, preferably in top 3 positions, otherwise you won’t get too many visits from the search page. How do you get your website into the top results? The answer is SEO, search engine optimization. The slightly outdated way to do it is link building, you hire someone to build one way links to your websites, the problem with this strategy is that first you have to pay by the amount of links they build, if you have more than a few 10s of keywords you will end up paying some big money for “quality” links, by quoting “quality” brings the second point, they put links on all kinds of websites, directories aside, most of the sites on which they put links are close to pure spam sites, and those sites don’t get updated frequently and have too many unrelated links on them. Besides, most search engines are favoring context links more than pure links, so this strategy is still useful but won’t make you as successful as it used to be. These problems have a solution, which is Article Marketing.

With article marketing, you post articles to a lot different blogs, directories, search engines will pick up these articles and the contextual links inside will be counted. The more articles you distribute the more one way back links you will gain, the chance of your site shows up in top search results will improve significantly. You can write articles about your products yourself, or you can hire someone else to write articles for you, either way, you have you articles about your products, usually you will have two different types of articles, one type is PR like articles, these articles are single piece articles, meaning you’ll distribute exact same articles no matter how many articles you’re going to distribute, another type is called spinnable articles, this type of articles are made for both human and search engine, some of them are of high quality and can be read by human, some of them are spinned by software and made just for search engine. In reality, both type of articles will work, since search engine can’t distinguish human readable ones from spam ones. This situation may change in the future, so I suggest that you should stick to high quality spinnable articles, and post articles to reputable blogs and directories, not those made for sale ones.

How To Write Spin Friendly And Keyword Rich Articles

Featured

Now we know what article marketing looks like, the process has two steps,  writing the articles and distributing the articles. Sometimes writing an article is really easy, put together hundreds of words, then use some auto spin software to process the article, you will get an spinnable but not human readable article, it is that simple, that’s the reason you will find a lot of blogs on the web are not human readable. On the other hand, this strategy works great on search engines, you only need to post hundreds of machine spinned articles, you will get results, since search engines only understand popularity. Should we all employ this kind of strategy? eventually all these tricks will be detected and discounted. If machine article spin is bad, what should we do? We have to strike a balance between efficiency and quality, the answer is hand crafted snippets with software created spinnable article.

Spinnable quality articles? Is that possible? Don’t believe it, let’s see it. Suppose you need to promote more than hundreds of keywords for a website, if all the articles have to hand written, I can imagine how much time and money have to be spent. The alternative strategy is we create keywords database, with corresponding URLs for all the keywords, and extract and create spinnable descriptions for each URL, then we put random products with spinnable descriptions into pre-made articles frames, insert some interesting snippets, if every sentence of your article is spinnable, and don’t forget proof read your final product, if they read like garbage go back to redo them until they pass, you can go ahead distribute your hard work with article distribution software, now you can build your next database or take a break.

Now we have the theory, let’s see it in action. Assume you’re going to work with yourdomain.com, you want to promote tow chain, it has it’s own unique URL, now you need to build a few different descriptions like this, tow chains are popular towing supplies, especially 5/16” tow chains, all tow trucks have to have this wonderful products, you can go on add more like this, the more the better. When you finish with the specific URL, you can move onto next one. When finish building URL database, you can build article frame for the database, it’s the same principle, make sure your article frame is fluent after spin. When you have the database and frames ready, feed them to article distributor software capable of combine these two together, you’re all set. You can use this technique on all kinds of websites, and on any number of URLs, and you will get good results and have fluent articles at the same time. This can be a long term strategy, since you can build a number of related blogs based on the keywords and products, and populate those blogs with related articles from your database.

Building Blog Network for Business and Leisure

Featured

Lately google did something to their ranking algorithm,   the reason cited is that google wanted to provide more relevant results, according to their official blog, this change impacts 11.8% organic search results, say it another way, google thinks about 12% of it’s search results are really bad and need to manipulated. The update was initiated more than a year ago, maybe that’s why some of my ranks dropped out of first 10 pages, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, a few of these keywords ranked better than ever, it becomes clear that linking campaign the old way is the thing of past, probably due to links crammed sites being thrown away by google.

What is old way of link building any way? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they will get links from any websites which accept adding links, these websites will only be updated when new links are being added, and most of them are useless, the name link spamming are just for these sites. Now google algorithm probably will weed out these sites, all the links on those websites will have the same fate.

maybe a few examples will make it clear. When I got into online marketing long time ago, I started promote the keyword, ratchet straps , at that time almost every body was doing plain linking campaign, a lot of sites I used had too many links, worst yet, those sites had no content at all. This strategy worked in the beginning, finally the rank improved a lot, the party was over when google updated it’s algorithm. Something opposite happened to this keyword, chain pullers, we promoted this keyword with articles and blog posts, not too many plain links have been built, now we have really good ranking for this keyword. Now contextual links win the battle, then what? In fact the only thing matters here is content, when you create unique and quality content, not only people will love to read your stuff, so do the search engines. How do you do it? Writing articles and building blogs, take a look at this blog, mobile business , I didn’t put too much effort into it from start, but I never stopped posting, the result? I got nice ranking for a few really nice keywords now. Now you can see, article marketing with great content is the way to go.

At the end of day all you have to do is to create attractive content, publish and share with people, promote your business with the content, this strategy will prevail in short or long term. The virtues, persistence and patience, are essential for your success, nothing will automatically improve overnight, i.e., selling online or improve your search rankings, now all we have to do is to give our love for creating and sharing great content and not to worry about the search results all the time.

Should I focus my efforts on Article Marketing or Social Network Marketing?

If you only had one option which form of marketing would you choose to bring traffic to a new website?

I think social networking is not good but it is worth. you may do not know how many people you can be connected with social networking in a few hours. you requires smart search, related people, community and best of your comments to others.

I recently started a travel blog which I want to monetize through Affiliate Marketing. I have already put so?

I recently started a travel blog which I want to monetize through Affiliate Marketing.
I have already put some affiliate links on it and I already have got some clicks and orders. I can see this in the statistics of my Affiliate Network.
However, my affiliate Network tells me I have to wait for 2 months until the orders are approved before I will get paid. Is this normal, and what is the average approval rate?

To answer the first part of your question: It depends on your Affiliate Network and affiliate programs how long you will have to wait before your orders will be approved.

This may take weeks till months. And finally it will be the advertiser or merchant that will decide on approving.

Approval depends on the fact that your clicks and orders really have materialized in a closed sale at your merchant or advertiser.

For some products as mortgages and insurances it takes a while before all the paperwork has been completed by the customer you’ve send and the merchant who has to handle the order. In the meantime you are waiting for your money.

But sometimes affiliate networks allow their merchants and advertisers a too long period for approving clicks, leads and orders.

And we’ve found that some merchants do not always grant the right clicks and sales to the right affiliates. The whole process of approving affiliate links can be a matter of debate and discussion.

We think affiliate networks in general can do a better job in handling this in a more just way. But fortunately, there are some affiliate networks out there that really have a rock solid order managing system.

Before joining a network, please google these networks to see if affiliates have some experiences with these networks.

Affiliate marketing for my Blog?

Hi, I would like to try affiliate marketing for my Blog. I already asked this question and got some good sources, but also found from reviews that some programs are scams. I would like to hear from people that used a good program what affiliate groups would be good to join with an honest reputation originating from the USA only. I did not have much luck with Adsense even though my blogs are from Google. My blogs deal with ADHD, special education, travel, and art .Thanks.

well you can increased your adsense earning by tis form. you simple do discussion and you will start earning money.

I want to earn more money with Google adsense ?

I know SEO but i want to know adsense earning trick tell me if anyone know

There are lots of things you can do, like filter out low paying adverts, but the main thing, and the thing any SEO worth their salt will tell you, is to have a page that is of sufficient quality to attract lots of visitors and hold them on your site long enough to interact.

Google’s exceedingly clever (some would say insidious) algorithms will then serve the adverts that earn them, and therefore you, more money. It takes time, but my AdSense earnings have risen dramatically lately without any intervention on my part, simply because Google now know what adverts to serve that are likely to earn the most $ for them.

Devalued Navigational Links: Quality Content with Contextual Link Works Wonder

Beginning early this year, certain search engine made some changes to their search ranking,   the reason cited is that google wanted to provide more relevant results, according to their official blog, this change impacts 11.8% organic search results, put it this way, google thinks about 12% of it’s search results are really bad and need to manipulated. The update was initiated more than a year ago, no wonder I saw a few of my keywords’ ranks dropped like a rock, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, some of the keywords even ranked better than before, it’s safe to say that old way of link building is doomed.

So what exactly is linking campaign the old way? There are a lot of SEO company out there are doing this, they will get links from any websites which accept adding links, the only updates on those websites are the new links, it’s safe to assume all of them are trash, we call these sites link spamming sites. The latest google update will definitely downgrade most if not all of these sites, any links on them will be affected too. 

Examples will be great for explanation. In the very beginning, I didn’t know better, I needed to rank the keyword, Ratchet Chain Binder, it was old way of link building all the way, a lot of sites I used had too many links, worst yet, those sites had no content at all. I would give credit where credit is due, this linking strategy worked, eventually the keyword could be found on first page,   the honeymoon lasted until google changed it’s mind. Something opposite happened to this keyword, chain pullers, we promoted this keyword with articles and blog posts, with very few plain links, you can imagine how this keyword ranks. So contextual link wins this time, what about future? In fact the only thing matters here is content, when you create unique and quality content, not only people will love to read your stuff, so do the search engines. You probably think there are already too many blogs out there, it’s not true, there will never be too many good blogs, for instance let’s examine this one, sherri hill dresses , in the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left and right, and to my surprise, I have high ranks for some of  competitive keywords. As far as SEO concerned, quality article marketing is much better than plain link building. If you can build a group of your own blogs, such as Binder Chain, you will have the power to push any sites up in search engines.

Bottom line is that you should create great content, get people to enjoy and share your stuff, promote your business with the content, your effort will reward you handsomely in the end. The virtues, persistence and patience, are essential for your success, nothing will automatically improve overnight, it doesn’t matter you’re doing SEO or advertising your business, keep doing what we have to do till the end of world. Ezine is one of the best article directories out there, a new article will be indexed and cached in less than an hour, popular blogs will get your post indexed as soon as you post it, here I am going to show you an article in article directory or on a blog, have a taste of this one, Ratchet Chain Binder, good writing, interesting content, indexed and cached, all these points make it perfect for SEO.

We’re not finished yet, please remeber, if you don’t take social media account, you’re lost. One thing you can do for your blogs is to install twitter tools, get a twitter account and API keys, link your blog to twitter, then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page, it’s simple and elegant, no one should miss this tool out.
