Article Marketing - Discover the Magic

Writing articles is, in my opinion, one of the greatest ways to advertise a product or website. There is not a better cost effective way to bring highly targeted traffic to your business

1.) Its Free

Here is a cost analysis of advertising mediums.

Television Infomercial: $75,000 to $1 Million Dollars.

Full page black and white newspaper advertisement

Nationwide Newspapers: $165,000 (Wall Street Journal, USA Today, etc) Metropolitan Newspapers: $100,000 (NY Times, Washington Post) Small Town Newspapers: At least $1000

Radio Advertising: $50 to $750 or more depending on which days and how many times your ad will run in a specified period.

Article Marketing: ZERO Dollars. Reach hundreds of thousands of possible readers each day all that is required is an investment of your time.

2.) You do not have to be a college English professor or have a degree in journalism to write high quality, informative articles.

3.) In a short time your articles can establish you as an expert in your field. Your name may become a valuable resource to webmasters and publishers who are looking for fresh new content.

4.) Article writing is an easy way to get quality backlinks to your website. There are 500+ article directories on the internet and the number is growing daily. There is no faster way to get your article and your website into the top 10 on the search engines.

5.) You do not have to worry about SPAM laws and filters. If you are running your own ezine I am sure you have heard some of the horror stories about publishers being dumped by their hosts because of SPAM complaints. Readers come to view your articles. You are not sending them email which may be blocked for any number of reasons.

6.) The longevity of your articles will bring you business far into the future. Your articles will remain on the article directories and may be used by a publisher years into the future allowing you to generate life-long traffic.

If article marketing is not an advertising strategy that you are using, have you asked yourself why it isnt?

Article Marketing & List Building - 3 Simple & Powerful Steps to Build & Take Care of Your List

The most important asset in your internet marketing and article marketing business is your list.

Let me give you just three steps. One of the things I'm known for is breaking things down to make them as simple and doable as possible. Albert Einstein said things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

No in no way am I comparing myself to Al, I just really like the quote and think it is useful for our purposes here today.

3 steps to build a list:

1. Write an article. It gives people good quality information that they can use and results in the reader wanting more good quality information...from you!
2. In the resource box you invite them back to your website to trade their email address for some more good quality information.
3. You conduct the trade and they're on your list.

The rest is taking care of your list. The one thing you always want to remember is that your list is made up of people. People with lives, hope, hurts and dreams, hearts and heads.

Here's three words I want you to think about in terms of taking good care of your list:

• Relationship - You want to create an ongoing relationship with your list.
• Interaction - To create and build the relationship you need to interact with them. Answer their questions. Ask them what they want to know.
• Marketing Intimacy - When you take good care of your list, you amplify the know, like and trust factor which results in marketing intimacy.

We do business and spend money with those we know, like, and trust.

SEO for Google

Google page rank is determined by a number of factors:

SEO keywords
SEO content
SEO domain name
Originality of content
Number of links from external sites

Original Content

Having original content on your site is a no-brainer. It is the "why" that escapes many SEO web content developers. We have all seen the ads promising "150000 Adsense and SEO optimized pages". If it were this easy, all of us would be multi-millionaires by now. The reality is, Googlebot applies a penalty for non-original content, no mater how SEO you might think the page is. Think about it - why does "Nike.com" come up number 1 when you type Nike into Google? You or I could probably write a better SEO page about Nike than Nike.com. In fact, Nike.com keyword density for "Nike" is 0%!!!

Links from External Sites

Google take into account the number of links you have from external sites. Each link is like a "vote" for your site. Before you go and sign up for a link exchange program, consider this, some links do not count, in fact, being a "link spammer" can kill your ranking, no matter how good your SEO.

There are ways to generate quality back links:

Create a blog on blogspot.com (a Google Site) and write about your web page - include properly formatted links
Join blogs on respected sites and comment on articles, putting your URL in your signature Write "press releases" when you update your site and post them on the free press release sites around the web
Take out classified ads in respected on-line newspapers
Make small donations to charity sites that keep a "Thank You" page and include your web site with your name
These are just some tips to compliment your SEO work to get a good Google ranking.

SEO for keywords and content is relatively easy. Choose your keyword. Write content around that keyword. Use an SEO optimizer program to make sure you have done it right.

Long gone are the days of writing unrelated content, and then typing "Britney Spears" 100 times at the end of the article. Today's search engine spiders can spot the "Black Hat" SEO techniques a mile away, and your site can be banned for life.

Here are a few tips for SEO optimization:

Be focussed in your meta keywords - 1 to 3 SEO optimized keywords is enough
Put your keyword at the beginning of you page title tag.
Make sure you title tag is the first tag in the head section
Make sure your keyword appears in the alt tag for images and in link text, but no more than 3 times Put your keyword in bold
Put your keyword in the H1 section of your page, and H2 if you can
Have a keyword weigh in your article between 3-6% (higher is "keyword spamming")
SEO for domain names
Going back to the Nike.com example from my "SEO for Google" article. Since the keyword weight is 0%, how does nike.com get to billing when you search for them? Easy, Google gives a rank weight to domain names.

Make sure your primary domain name reflects the main purpose of your site (domain SEO). This site, for example, is all about my desire to "retire with millions". The site is subdivided in to many SEO optimized sub-domains each with a URL that denotes the sections. For example, all my SEO articles are in a sub-directory called ../seo.

Many articles have been written about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for Google. Google is the largest search engine (for now) and getting your SEO right for the Googlebot can make your site top ten site getting millions of hits a day. On the other hand, poor SEO and your site may never be ranked and your campaigns for Adsence will never net you any real money. Even worse, bad SEO might mean that your cutting edge product is un-findable by your customers.

Keyword Density And Authors - Some Light Remarks on Density

I should have seen it coming. I had asked for feedback on an ebook I had written on Article Marketing. The feedback came with some weak praise together with a remark that I had neglected Keyword Density. I thanked my reviewer and refrained from pointing out that Keyword density had exactly the amount of attention that it deserved - none. I thought no more of it until I got an email from Chris Knight of ezinearticles complaining that many authors were writing articles with an inflated Keyword density.

There's no avoiding it, so here goes.

A keyword is a word or phrase used by people searching for information online with the aid of a search engine. If the keyword phrase is "golf shoes" the search engine scans its database for articles on "golf shoes" then it sorts the articles into an order depending on how relevant they are and then presents them for viewing. So far, so good. The nub of the issue is how the search engine knows what is best.

In the early days it was easy for the search engine to find out what a webpage was about. All it had to do was look at the title and meta description tags on the webpage and then compute the keyword density. Keyword density is just the number of keywords on the page per hundred words. If our shopper found an article on golf shoes 300 words long and the phrase "golf shoes was found 6 times then (6 / 300) x 100 = 2%.

What this gives us is a simple way of working out how important a page is. A webpage that mentions "golf shoes" 10 times is probably going to be more useful to our shopper that a page that mentions "golf shoes" once per 100 words.

I guess it had to happen. Webmasters started "stuffing" keywords into articles with the enthusiasm of a Chef stuffing a turkey. The Keyword density on webpages began to soar and the folk running the search engines were unable to tell which article was best for their users. It was clear that keyword density was less important to the search and it began to be discounted by the search engines.

Google was probably the first to respond to the spamming of the web by what came to be called "keyword stuffing". Predictably some webmasters thought they could outwit Google and started to repeat their keywords dozens of times on the page with, for example, a white typeface on a white background.

While the Quality department at Google were deleting keyword stuffed webpages from their index their colleagues had developed a revolutionary form of advertising called Adsense. A webpage with Adsense on it will display advertisements on it that match the content of the page. So a page with an article about the best shoes to wear while playing golf will show Adsense advertisements on golf shoes.

The implications of this are that Google can judge for itself what the page is about. It does not need to read the meta tags and does not need to work out the keyword density.

Consequently Google started to discount meta tags and keyword density.

Many webmasters persisted with their folly in spite of explanations from Search Engine experts such as Aaron Wall, Jill Whalen and Colin McDougall.

Instead of counting keywords Google is looking at the relationships between the words. There is a natural structure in language and a well constructed and informative article would be expected to have a variety of words relevant to a topic as well as a smattering of technical terms and slang.

Writing in a natural way is the only way to get the word relationships Google is looking for in its quest for high quality and writing to target a particular keyword density is an effective way to tell Google that the article concerned is of little value.

The search engines have been telling us for years to write for our visitors and not for the search engines. For years we have been ignoring this advice but the search technology now in place is so good that deliberately trying to rank in the search results by artificial means is self defeating.

And that is why my book did not feature keyword density!

My Dumbest Marketing Blunder And How You Can Avoid It

When I started submitting Ezine articles, I never realized their true power. I was just happy to see the articles being published.

I expected to get some traffic and hopefully some sales. I would have laughed if you told me those early words would still be floating around the web over five years later.

Well, smack me on the wrist and call me shorty, they are. You would think that's a good thing and it is except... That's the operative word, "except." The little critters are still multiplying around the web like rabbits in heat, but there is a little problem. Actually, the problem isn't so little.

This darn problem haunts me. At least a couple of times a week it drives me insane. Whenever I run across it I feel like the dullest axe in the shed.

If I were double jointed, I'd kick myself in the "hello there."

So what is this dumb mistake that:

• Has me pulling my hair out by the roots

• Has me kicking myself over and over

• Haunts me like that house in Amityville

Outdated resource boxes with links leading to that dreaded 404 error.

I'm afraid to guess how much money and traffic I'm losing. It's a nightmare. Those babies are doing their part, but crazy John has made the ultimate dumb mistake.

How did this happen? How could I end up looking like the "village idiot?"

The only answer I can give is, "I didn't realize."

I never realized how viral articles were. I had no idea that little articles could circle the globe for years.

I didn't see the big picture. I wrote those resource boxes with no regard for the future.

How can you avoid making the same mistake?

1. If you're going to promote an affiliate program, don't link directly.

Sometimes programs just disappear. Other times, you may find the program hasn't lived up to your expectations.

Set up a redirect page on your website. If the program disappears, or you no longer wish to promote it, you can reset the page to lead wherever you choose.

2. Don't lead directly to your opt in list.

You never know when a list may change their pricing or services. For one reason or another you may change listservs.

A better option is to set up a page on your site to capture addresses. If you leave your present service, you can edit the page to lead to your new list.

If I had set up my links according to option number one for affiliate programs, or two for list building, I'd have kept the leads flowing and the orders coming for years.

Creating killer articles can drive traffic and pull in profits for years. So avoid the mistakes of this "dumb monkey" and reap the full rewards of your efforts.

Wishing You Success, John Colanzi

New Year. New set of internet advertising opportunities.

As more and more people start to discover the raw power of writing articles and article marketing, brand new possibilities for finding more and more natural ways to market on the internet are becoming evident every day.

And a lot of people couldn't be happier about that.

Suddenly the need to master some of the more 'computer relevant' concepts on the net are not as necessary. You know that ones...opt in lists, squeeze pages, redirects. cookies.

By using article marketing to its fullest potential, you and I now have the very real ability to have our word read on the first page of hundreds of thousands of Google results pages.

Imagine entering a search for "outstanding English Tenors" and finding your article come up as a natural result of that search! How exciting and powerful does that feel?

Here's how it happens. You happen to know a note or two about 'outstanding English Tenors' so you write an article about it and submit it to an article directory that's highly valued by Google. (The one you're reading right now is widely regarded as the best, by the way.)

That article sits in the servers of the directory just waiting for a search to be performed anywhere on the planet. By students doing papers on English Tenors, by jealous Irish Tenors, by people who hate tenors...you get the picture.

Your words, by virtue of the fact that you've submitted them to such a Google friendly site such as ezinearticles, will sit and just wait to be seen by the potential of millions.

I like those odds.

And I LOVE the fact that the scope of internet advertising opportunities has been OPENED to those of us who fear the autoresponder and want to do business here naturally.

SEO Content Writer: How To Find One

There are many people who still don't identify SEO with a content writer or content writing for that matter. To them SEO is some complicated technical thing that a content writer can not possibly be able to make head or tail of.

This kind of thinking is extremely expensive because it is currently costing many site owners millions of hits. The truth of the matter is that a very important and key part of SEO is the use of the best non-competitive keyword phrases for the particular site. One keyword phrase can produce millions of hits via leading search engines. Keyword phrases are used on the content and that is why it is so important for a content writer to understand the use of keywords, even if somebody else is researching them for him or her.

Hiring a content writer who understands and uses seo techniques can therefore gain you many million hits over a relatively short time. It will also save you the time and money in researching the best keywords for your site yourself, or hiring a different person to do it for you.

Finding a good SEO content writer is easier than you think. For starters carefully trace your steps backwards to how you found your seo content writer. If they used seo methods to advertise their services, then you will be pretty sure that they are experts and know exactly what they are doing.

How can you possibly believe in a seo content writer who does not use seo content writing techniques to advertise their own services?

Article Marketing - How to Use Article Marketing to Get Prospects to Come to You

The way I do it is with article marketing combined with list building. Now, the beautiful thing about article marketing, is that I don't have to go where they hang out. All I have to do is write articles that make sense to them. Upload them to the article directories, and then the article directories because of their own high search engine ranking ability, their high pay rank, the article directories themselves will get my articles where people hang out.

Not necessarily where people hang out but where people look. So for example if somebody's looking for information about natural health, let's say somebody's looking for information about natural health, I'm into natural health. Well, I can go about this 2 different ways, number 1 I can go hang out on all the natural health forums and the natural health blogs, and all of that. I can kind of hope I can pick up some visitors. Or I can write natural health articles, I can submit them to the online article directories.

The online article directories have the page rank to get me ranked high in the search engines, and then what happens is when somebody goes in and they search for a term like natural health or alternative health or natural health for my knee, or whatever they're thinking about, natural health, for example, then my article is going to come up really really high. So I'm not going to necessarily get them where they hang out, but I'm going to get them when they're looking for information.

Why You Should Use Article Distribution Services

Article marketing is now integral to all internet marketers. It is one of the best and cheapest ways to build back-links to your site, get your product in front of thousands of prospective customers, and also rank higher in the search engines.

It is relatively straight forward to write an article, and a small amount of research is all that is needed to write a decent ~400 word article in about 15 minutes. However, after you have written your article you need to get it out there in front of your target market.

There are many ways to do this, you can manually submit your article to various news groups and ezines (effective but not quick), or you can post it to a blog and then syndicate the blog feed to loads of different sites (quick but not effective).

There are also several article submission services out there that will post your blog to a set number of sites for a fee. Some of these sites are reputable but a lot of them are known for their problems with spam posting. This reduces their integrity with the search engines and ultimately leads to their demise.

There is one site that ensures all articles are reviewed by real live people, this means that no spam articles will be posted out to the sites that your well crafted article will be getting sent to, thus ensuring the service's integrity on the net.

This service is called Article Marketer - there is a link to it in my bio box. Did I also mention that it has a free subscription option? there are several different ways to join the site, from monthly to three monthly, annually and even a lifetime membership option. I recommend that you join up as a free member and test the waters before you consider paying any fees. When you start to see the profits rolling in from the free service then you can put some of those profits back into paying for an upgrade.

Submitting articles to the right sites is not only time consuming but also quite difficult, as you are never sure which sites are the best. Article Marketer takes all the stress and strain out of article submission, try it free today!

Article Marketing Tips - Are You Using Leverage With Your Old Articles?

Many professional writers create dozens of articles every single day. The problem is that these articles are just a one time thing. There is a smart way to use leverage and maximize your profits with the same amount of work. This is called leverage. Let me show you how to do it step by step.

First, you need to take every single paragraph from your previous article separately. I mean that if you created an article with several paragraph, you should have seven articles.

Now that you have several articles ready to submit to the articles directory sites, you can create a short report that you will add as a bribe for people who land on your optin page.

You will request their name and email address in exchange for your report.

From one article, you got seven new articles, a free pdf report that build your list of subscribers for you.

But you can do even more than this. What about turning your ebook into an mp3 audio file?

Think about it because many people will not find the time to read your valuable ebook. However, if they can plug your audio into their ipod while they are to the gym, they will use your content.

Once you start getting subscribers into your autoresponder sequence, it's time to send them something that they can buy. If you provided good content, they will be happy to buy from you.

You already have your mp3 files now. All you need to do is to add more to your free pdf report and sell both.

You can even prepare an e-course from your articles and sell it for a one time fee or sell it on a recurring basis as a membership site. I mean that you give them the articles on a weekly or monthly basis for a recurring fee.

Plus you can also use your articles for more buzz in discussion boards. Just tweak them a little bit, and make new threads that get read hundreds or thousands of time.

You see, one article can be turned into a full money getting business.

PeelAwayAds Review - Why This Little Script Is Making Its Way Into Mainstream Websites

PeelAwayAds is a nice little script that delivers website ads in a completely different way than traditional pop-ups, pop-ins, and pop-unders and is getting a lot of attention from some large mainstream companies. This type of ad is completely non intrusive and almost irresistible for the visitor to check out and click on. The PeelAwayAd sits in any corner of the site and "peels" the corner of the page back slightly revealing a "check this out" type of message under it. When the visitor moves their mouse over the peel, the corner of the page peels back further revealing the whole ad.

Besides being non intrusive, and attractive, PeelAwayAds are also fun to play with, if you haven't seen them before, so there is a really good chance that your visitors will click on your ad while playing with the cool factor. The PeelAwayAds script is now being used by companies such as MSN and Dell on their websites and is proving to be very effective at drawing attention to their products.

Traditional pop-ups have long worn out their welcome on the internet. They were only really tolerated to begin with because they were so effective. Once people got so sick of them that they created pop-up blockers, the effectiveness of the pop-up went way down, after all how effective can it be if almost nobody is seeing it? Then came the next incarnation of the pop-up with the unblockable fly-in type ads, until they got banned from most advertising services because they lock up the web page and won't let you do anything until you click on or close them. These types of ads became annoying really quickly for web surfers as well.

In our quest for an unblockable and non intrusive website ad, the PeelAwayAds script was created and looks like it will be around for the long term. I have found, in using the script myself, that my visitors not only do not mind seeing the ad on my pages, they love it. Even if they aren't interested in what I am selling at all they are fascinated with peeling the corners of my pages back. This is a very powerful thing because I actually have visitors clicking on my ads that have no initial interest in my product, so that gives me one more chance to direct their attention to my product and the benefits they can gain from it.

A University of Washington research study conducted in 1999 states "The average American is exposed to 500 to 1,000 commercial messages every day. That is anywhere from 182,500 to 365,000 commercial messages that a person will view this year alone." That was in 1999, these numbers are undoubtedly much higher now. With people being exposed to this many advertising messages every day, our advertisements must stand out amongst a huge crowd in order to grab those peoples attention and get them interested in our product versus the millions of others out there. If we can't sick out like a sore thumb to our visitors, we really don't have much of a chance to effectively advertise to our visitors properly.

In conclusion, the PeelAwayAds script and "peel" type ads, in my opinion, are going to be a must have among web marketers in the future. It is becoming harder and harder to grab our visitors attention with the public becoming more and more "immune" to our advertising efforts and it will become increasingly difficult as we move forward.

Best Article Marketing - 7 Most Tremendous Tips to the Best Article Marketing

We all know and agree that article marketing is such a great piece of a marketing instrument. Being great and powerful as it is, all we need to do is to make sure that all its potentials are properly explored and used. Below are 7 tremendous tips on how to do the best article marketing activity:

1. Make your articles short and compacted. A 300-words article is usually the standard article size. This makes it easy for potential readers to grasp and understand what you are trying to convey. A novelette sized article is not usually being favored as online users today do not have much time to spend reading lengthy copies.

2. Strictly follow the protocols used by publishing sites. Every publishing site has its own protocol and standards. It is suggested that you carefully follow these rules and guidelines to make sure that your articles are more likely to be favored against the others.

3. Provide a meaty article. Make it a point that you come up with an article that is full of relevant information. It makes sense because after all, every person who goes to the net and searches for something is after reliable and useful information.

4. Maximize the use of the Internet search for more article directory sites where you can have your articles published. Do not settle to having your site displayed in just one publishing site. Distribute it well.

5. Make a compilation of the best articles that you have and have it placed on an e-book. This is another form of an effective marketing using your articles and you can even use your ebook as giveaway for potential clients who would like to be a member of your email marketing list.

6. You can "syndicate" your articles via the Really Simple Syndication or RSS feeds. By doing so, you can provide your subscribers with information even if they don't have the time to visit your website everyday.

7. As an additional exposure, you can have your articles posted and published on your own website. This gives your articles the added popularity that they need.

Internet Marketing - How To Set Mega Goals And 'Stretch' Your Potential

If you want to start achieving the success you want, then start setting mega goals. What exactly are mega goals? Well, they are goals that force you to stretch your potential to the limit and make full use of all your resources to achieve your results. They might not be 'realistic' goals, and 'realistic' goals are often goals that don't excite anyone, leading to inaction or complacency.

If you want to get excited and passionate about your dreams, set a mega goal. This will cause you to operate on a different level from most people. You will instantly become laser focused and start doing almost whatever it takes (as long as it is within legal and moral boundaries) to get there!

It's important that you set a goal that you are excited about. Maybe you have been constantly been dreaming about driving and owning that dream car of yours. Or maybe it's some other goal that you want to have. Well, make that your ultimate goal now.

Once you do this, you will immediately start doing things differently. You may take more risks, but you'll also take more calculated risks. You will definitely stop procrastinating and start taking huge action towards your goals. You will wake up everyday feeling energized, knowing that you have a key focus in life and that everyday; you are getting closer to your goal.

So do this now. Set a goal that is 'unrealistic', get yourself excited about it, and start taking focused action to achieve it on a daily basis. Don't delay! There is no time to waste.

Licensed to Quit Your Day Job

So, you have a job that you hate, you're working long hours for poor pay, your quality of life is lousy, you hardly ever see your kids and when you do, you're too tired to spend any quality time with them. What you want is to be your own boss and earn enough money to spend time only working when you want to and relaxing when you don't want to work, but life isn't like that, is it?

Internet Marketing could be the answer, but most internet marketing methods take weeks to put together, they're limited by the products they involve or they require a PhD in Marketing to understand. The result of that is failure - not because the systems don't work, but because they don't work effectively in the time span that your financial situation allows. You need to find something that doesn't necessarily take up a lot of time, that you can try whilst you have your day job, but can earn enough so that you can wind down the day job and take the leap into becoming a full-time internet marketer. If you could find a system which generated an income in a quick and effective way, and one that you could use time and time again, you'd want to hear more, right? It could possibly be the thing that you've been looking for, generating an income that could make life more comfortable.

Two highly successful 'Under The Radar' Internet Marketers have spent the last two months testing a simple income system. What they found could be your way into full-time Internet Marketing. It's a simple, quick method that can be replicated time and time again - but the real power of this system is that it could bridge the gap between your job and becoming a full-time internet marketer. They don't claim that it will make you six-figures a month, but it can make $4-5000 and that would make a difference and give you a little more freedom.

And how long have you been looking for that information? Successful marketers Sara Brown and Tony Shepherd spent months researching this method and now present you with everything you need to replicate the methods that bring them thousands of dollars each and every month. Not only that but they show you 'real life' examples of the products that are pumping money into their account day after day, along with actual websites and proof of earnings.

This could be the 'missing link' in your Internet Marketing business. If you're serious about Internet Marketing you need to check this out.

Learn Affiliate Marketing - How I Finally Managed To Learn Affiliate Marketing The Right Way

When I set out to learn affiliate marketing in late 2006, I sort of knew how it worked, and I had some of the necessary skills already, so I figured it wouldn't be that hard. I bought a couple of ebooks that outlined "sure fire" methods to start generating multiple sources of income. I even bought a video e-course that promised the same thing. All of these made huge promises and returned squat for results. Their methods were just too vague to follow.

Finally after dumping about $300 down the proverbial toilet on total crap, (pardon the pun) I stumbled on a resource that has helped me a great deal in my quest to learn affiliate marketing. This resource, after about 4 days, taught me things that I had never even heard about before, and made complete and total sense. After going through a few tutorials and watching a few videos, I had a new outlook, and I set out to make money.

After 3 days, I had my first EVER sale as an affiliate. Success finally! The feeling was great and I wanted to learn more. I kept on digging and absorbing information in the forums as well as the more advanced sections of the learning resources and to make a long story short, today I am generating a part time income equal to about half of what I make at my day job in just a few hours a day, all of which is fun to me!

I don't think I would have ever managed to learn affiliate marketing the proper way if I hadn't stumbled upon this site. I would have ended up out in limbo making a sale every couple of weeks like most of the people who try it and fail. I'm glad I found it when I did, because I was so determined. Who knows how much money I would have wasted on junk ebooks in my inevitable quest.

Finally, you've found something that delivers what it promises and then some. Here's a site you can go to that will show you proof of what you've read in this article, and even grab a few surprises along the way. IronClad Proof

Amazing Article Marketing - Revealed - 4 Hidden Secrets to Grow Your Article Marketing

If you want to attract more visitors to your site, establish yourself as an expert on your field, generate link popularity, increase your search engine ranking, pre-sell your products, and entice visitors to access your website over and over again, then you need to incorporate article marketing to your traffic-generating strategies. This tool is not only proven efficient but it is also very cost effective.

Here are the 4 hidden secrets to grow your article marketing:

1. Keep your articles short. Online users love reading articles that are brief, concise and direct to the point. Remember, you do not need to write a 750-word article when you can discuss your topic using 250 words. By doing this, you can create more articles that can lead to more back links to your website.

2. Make every word count. Most article directories do not pay attention to the word count of your articles; they are most concern with the quality and content. So, avoid using fillers and fancy words just to make your articles longer. Instead, consider every word that you use and make sure that they have a direct impact on your topic. This will make your articles meatier and worth reading.

3. Use compelling titles. Your headlines should be attention-grabbing. They should communicate what your potential readers will miss should they ski your articles. Keep your titles short, direct to the point, and intriguing.

4. Hire some help. If you want to have more articles to submit to article publishing sites, I recommend that you outsource some of your tasks. You can hire a ghostwriter or someone who can submit the articles for you. By doing this, you get the tasks done half the time, making your more productive.

Internet Marketing Strategies for Google AdWords

AdWords is a tricky tool to use; on one hand it can make you a lot of money. Of course on the other hand, you can blow your entire life savings if you have no clue what you're doing. Marketing with AdWords is all about staying relevant; If you're too broad or off topic, you'll can't slammed or should I say slapped.

The first set of strategies you need to consider is to make your ads as closely related as possible. Make sure your keywords are in your ad title and in the body of your ad as well. Make separate campaigns for keywords that will need a separate ad; you may need to make many campaigns for the same product.

Next, you need to make sure that all of the keywords you're picking are closely related to your landing page. If you are an Internet Marketer trying to use a squeeze page to capture visitors email addresses, make sure that your squeeze page is optimized to your keywords. If one of your keywords is stock market strategies, make sure that the word is somewhere on your squeeze page or has a phrase closely related to the keyword. You may need to make multiple landing pages for each ad group or campaign.

Another marketing tip would be to optimize your display URL to also read one of your keywords if possible. Every little bit helps when it comes to AdWords; they're so anal, but it actually helps smart marketers out because the higher your quality score is, the higher you're ranked regardless of bids.

AdWords is just one of many internet marketing strategies you need to implement everyday, stick with it and you will be successful.

Pricing Strategies For Your Book

Setting the right price for your book is crucial to its success. If you do not set the right price, you may do more harm than good to your sales. When pricing your book, you need to take into consideration many factors.

There are generally two methods that you can use to arrive at the price tag of your book. The first is the traditional or the bottom up method. It is called bottom up because you start your calculations from the bottom and gradually go upward to get the best price for the book.

In this method, you first take the production cost of your book, add the trucking costs and multiply the sum by eight to arrive at the magic figure. The reason to use this high multiple factor is to cover the commissions/profits of distributors, wholesalers, and stores, all of which demand a heavy cut of the list price of the book. Without the support of this distribution channel, you will be unable to deliver your book to the reader/buyer.

Usually a distributor's cut is about 66%, wholesalers take up to 55%, and stores take 40% of the list price. Then the costs involved in promoting your book have to also be taken care of. Promotion is an expensive business and you will need to shovel back nearly 25 to 30% of the gross amount.

The least expensive way of promoting your book is to seek reviews. They are one of the most effective means that also costs the least. However, they involve sending review copies of your book to various newsletters, magazines, newspaper columns, and other opinion molders.

Remember that these review copies are books that are not sold, and therefore you do not get paid for them. They are sent free and the cost involved is considered promotional advertising expense. Depending on your subject and target audience size, you may have to send out hundreds of copies. One important factor that has overriding priority over the cost of production, while considering the final price, is the genre/category of the book.

Another method is the top down method. The principle here is to price your book according to the price of similar books in the market. The price that is given on the back page of the book should be in line with other books in the market, because retail prices are established not by the cost of production, but by the marketplace.

To find out market prices, visit bookstores that stock similar books and check the prices. You also need to note other points like the shape, quality and type of paper, and binding to determine what your reader/buyer is prepared to spend.

You must also keep in mind the target buyer segment when determining the price of your book. If it is targeted at teenagers, you need to make it low priced with a soft cover. Books for professionals like lawyers, doctors, accountants, technical experts etc. should be hardcover editions with dust jackets and can be priced higher, say around $80 to $100. Business books should be priced at around $35.

Pricing a book is a subjective issue and there cannot be any hard and fast criteria to fix the price. However, what is discussed above can enable you to proceed in the right direction while determining the price of your book.

Article Author Authorities and Expert Writers - Something to Consider

Many online article writers who really care about the venue find too many poorly done articles polluting the online article submission sites. They are quite frankly offended and some have asked that there be some method developed to differentiate their articles from what they consider to be trash or "Thinly Veiled Content" as they have coined.

Indeed this makes sense, although we must also understand that the average internet reader really and truly does have an 8th grade reading level in the USA and it is a lower average in many other parts of the world, so we need to also understand that reality, even if we choose not to use that fact in a decision making process of determination for level of content quality.

Is there a way to develop a system by which good articles and poor articles are more easily judged? Could we use the number of article views to guestimate the quality? How about the number of publishers who have captured and re-published the content on the web?

Well this is a great point, but the number of article views cannot be the criteria, in fact it might be the opposite as catchy titles might bring more run of the mill unsophisticated internet surfers to the articles, which might not be the exact clientele one is looking for. Although if someone is selling something silly or some popular or trendy trinket, then it is their exact customer and thus we need to understand that there are many online article marketers with many different objectives, types of target customers and reading levels to deal with?
