Effective Article Marketing Tips for Newbies

Friday, July 31st, 2009

If you need to find a way to get more traffic to your site, you can employ a variety of tactics. These days, search engine optimization is the name of the game. In an effort to increase visibility, getting a high search engine ranking is vital. One quick and easy way to do this is with article marketing. If done correctly it will increase your traffic significantly.

Article marketing is fairly straight forward but there are some do’s and don’ts that you’ll need to adhere to. One way to get the ball rolling is with submissions to article directories. You can submit your articles to a variety of directories like Ezine Articles, Go Articles and Buzzle. There are many more and you can submit to as many sites as you wish.

As with anything you do online, know what you’re getting into before you take the first step. You will find that different article directories have different requirements and restrictions. Get to know them by heart and then you can proceed on the path to successful article marketing. No article directory will allow plagiarized articles. It’s a big no-no and you won’t get away with it. Make sure you own the copyright to the articles you submit and that they are original. Check to find out if you’re allowed to use affiliate links before you do, or your article could get rejected.

One important thing you must do before your submitting articles is to check them for spelling and grammatical errors. These types of mistakes will count against you and may get your articles rejected. If the article manages to get published with grammar and spelling errors, you’ll lessen your chances of looking like an expert. It only takes a few minutes to make sure your articles are error free and is well worth the effort.

One reason that many people use article marketing as a way of getting improved search engine rankings, is the ease of getting good backlinks. You can establish very good backlinks with article marketing. Always include a resource box in your article and you’ll drive traffic directly to your site.

A big part of search engine optimization is familiarity with keywords and keyphrases. Do your research on the words and phrases that you should be using for your particular site and product. When you take the time to find the right keywords and use them in the anchor text of your links, you’ll increase your traffic stream exponentially, but make sure you vary them, search engines will penalize you if the anchor text of every single link you build are the same. Make sure you fully understand search engine optimization before making any submissions. This will ensure you get the full benefit of your hard work.

Try to see the big picture and plan ahead for the future. Create a email capture page that links to whatever you are providing for free. A capture page will gather valuable information from prospective customers and you can use the information for email list building.

An auto responder program will save you time when building email lists. Never do manually what you can automate, you time is much better spent doing other things. There’s a huge choice of software you can use when it comes to managing your email marketing campaigns.

Make sure you understand everything you are about to do before you start. Understanding the importance of keywords, backlinks and auto responders is vital when using article marketing as part of your advertising campaign. Work the system correctly and you’ll see great results.

Five Tips for Advertising a Proxy Site

Friday, July 31st, 2009
by Paul Oneil

Proxy sites are in high demand 9 of the 12 months in the year, apart from summer time they have small dips following the terms of schools but apart from this demand is increasingly high year after year.

So you may question why it is that you don’t receive any traffic at all, well the fact is that unless you have a great domain name which people will type in to the search browser with out searching for it then you need to publicise your proxy site as with any other form of website proxy sites need advertising.

The best techniques I have learnt for promoting proxy sites have been these next 5 top tips.

Submit your proxy site to proxy submission sites

Search engine optimisation is my first and most important form of creating traffic to any of my websites, you could say I am addicted to SEO. However the results are always great, the only problem with SEO is that it is a long term strategy which takes time and patience. SEO is not something that you can apply and see results from straight away, it takes months.

I am however all for proxy submission websites these websites allow you to add your proxy URL for free but usually give you the choice to add a paid proxy link. These websites usually offer great traffic or at least good enough traffic for the 2 minute free submission that was little effort, so look out for these forms of proxy sites.

Search engine submission and SEO

However the results are always great, the only problem with SEO is that it is a long term strategy which takes time and patience. SEO is not something that you can apply and see results from straight away, it takes months.

Yahoo

Yahoo has two different forms of advertising which I love, Yahoo groups and Yahoo answers both in the past have offered me large amounts of traffic for free with little to no effort.

Yahoo answers

Instant Messenger

The last one is fairly obvious but use your email addresses that you have to friends, relatives and enemies and email them with your proxy site in the email. Don’t go emailing them thousands of times just the once will do, you may receive a couple of hits through this technique if your lucky viral marketing will again take effect.

You find relevant proxy groups and promote your proxy site through creating a thread when you have joined and asking people to go on to your proxy site. Again that’s quite a simple one.

Social networking websites

Sites such as MySpace or facebook, tell your friends about your website your proxy site is in high demand and most people use them so tell everyone you know and tell them to tell everyone they know, viral marketing is great.

I am however all for proxy submission websites these websites allow you to add your proxy URL for free but usually give you the choice to add a paid proxy link. These websites usually offer great traffic or at least good enough traffic for the 2 minute free submission that was little effort, so look out for these forms of proxy sites.

Traffic Formula 2.0 Review: Really Opening for Business

Friday, July 31st, 2009
by Art Basmajian

Imagine being a cutting-edge bag designer, and you know for sure that you’re very good. You get everything set up, put out your best designs for the world to see, and get ready to open for business. As you walk on the street, you see the bags that people use and say to yourself “OMG, what are they thinking?” However, you can’t seem get them to try one of yours. Before you go on the long and lonely road of self-doubt, here’s another possibility: it’s not the design, but the packaging.

In the Internet, that’s much the same way it is. You can offer the best product, but if there’s no one there to look at it, no one will buy it. That’s what happened to me, at first. That is, until I found the perfect formula: Mike Dillard’s Traffic Formula 2.0. And I will tell you all about it in my very own Traffic Formula 2.0 Review.

Showing Substance

Well, of course it’s going to be a very positive Traffic Formula 2.0 Review because it has really been a good experience for me. In a short amount of time (36 minutes, to be exact), I watched a video that made all the difference in the way I presented my products (which had always been good, but now others know that it is).

I can tell you that the formula helped me attract people to my site, but I can’t tell you what to do once those countless prospects start pouring in. That’s your problem. You have to admit, though, it’s a pretty happy problem to have. That’s why I won’t take away this fun by including it in this Traffic Formula 2.0 Review.

It’s not a new thing, but it’s not a rehashed bit of fluff, either. It’s an improvement on something that has already been proven to work. Some things do keep getting better and better, don’t they?

So if you don’t have anything better to do than sending out mails and prospectus to lukewarm clients or making those teeth gnashing calls on June 3, 2009, why don’t you click that button below and sign up for the program? It may just get rid of all the mails and calls forever for you.

Be the Star of Your Own Show: A Traffic Formula 2.0 Review

Friday, July 31st, 2009
by Art Basmajian

Like you, I’ve had my share of being ignored because literally, there are just plain billions of websites out there and more are being created everyday. It’s not that my website (or yours) are any better or any worse; it’s just that not everyone will have the time to look at everything that’s on the Net.

Find Your Niche

There is a way to put the numbers in your favor, and you can learn how in this Traffic Formula 2.0 Review. Take into consideration that if you can at least get one percent of the people who get online every day, that’s a lot of people - and that’s what this formula taught me to do: to get just that ‘tiny’ fraction to look my way.

Traffic Formula 2.0 made by the MLM industry and Internet genius Mike Dillard taught me how to divert a respectable flow from the endless Internet traffic to my site and that instead of looking at the Internet as a force to contend with, I can actually use it to my advantage. He did it himself, making millions in a few years, and he taught me. Let him teach you, too.

Share the Love

This Traffic Formula 2.0 Review is my way of saying thanks for learning how to get rid of all the redundant and ultimately useless things that I used to do to get attention for my site. Some were so desperate and embarrassing that I still blush at the thought. After using the formula, I worked less but with better results; it’s amazing what a few right placed emails can do.

I have nothing to gain from this Traffic Formula 2.0 Review, nor if you buy the Traffic Formula 2.0. I’ve already bought mine, and I already gained as much as I would ever need. Do yourself a favor and click on the BUY NOW button.

And then you can thank me by helping someone else.

How To Get More Twitter Traffic

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
by Jack Ryan

Twitter has taken over the social networking portion of the Internet in a very short time. It is now the number three social networking site on the Internet behind Facebook and MySpace. Twitter may not be number one but it is growing fast and it won’t take long for it to get to the top spot position.

Twitter allows 140 characters maximum for each post they call a tweet. This ensures that twitter stays fast moving, exciting, fast-paced and forces you to be short and concise with your messages. This is a good thing, because of the readers are more inclined to read a short message in a very long post. With hundred 40 characters is a limit you need to make sure that you get right to the point. Don’t waste time with extraneous conversation such as this is what I referenced all of this and I’m about to do now but it really doesn’t matter.

This is different than a webpage or weblog, or even an e-mail in that the 140 character limit allows you to focus your message so that your reader understands what your niche is all about. You can also include links in your 140 character limit message, these links can go to other webpages, blogs, videos, or audio messages. Webpages and blogs are more about just giving out information so even the best blog updates itself once or twice a day. This is Web 1.0. However the social networking sites are updated every few seconds. This is Web 2.0.

There are also many other twitter applications that are third party in nature that will help twitter to be a more effective tool for your business use. If your friends, and other acquaintances, or even relatives use twitter you might want to invite them to follow you.

Other applications include things to show pictures and send video messages with. And that’s only listing the applications that are directly related to the message in twitter. There are other applications that allow you to find like-minded twitter users easier.

In order to get more traffic would twitter you should follow the experts in your field. It is best to get as miniature followers as you possibly can. You can accomplish this by following a lot of people, and you have about a 50% chance of them following you back. This strange twitter rule that is unwritten but it makes twitter more enjoyable. Make it very easy to make friends and followers, but that’s just the beginning. You need to develop these relationships once you have your foot in the door as a follower.

The second thing you need to do, which will help your marketing efforts is to meet more people. Retweet is a great way to make new friends. The original message is repeated. Whenever you receive a new message make sure you reply right away or as soon as possible. This can become a challenging task as you get more followers. However, it is good etiquette to reply when someone sends you a message.

The twitter community relies on each others treating each twitter with respect. Because it is so easy to un-follow is a very low tolerance for bad behavior. If someone doesn’t like how you’re acting or what you’re writing they will simply stop following you.

How to Use Twitter

Twitter has taken over the social networking portion of the Internet in a very short time. It is now the number three social networking site on the Internet behind Facebook and MySpace. Twitter may not be number one but it is growing fast and it won’t take long for it to get to the top spot position.

When you use twitter you create your own personal brand and you can possibly dominate the niche you are focusing on. Let me explain. You have 140 characters to get your message across. This means a fast paced conversation. This is really a good thing because it doesn’t allow anyone to monopolize one conversation for a very long time. It also makes for a very fast conversation that can be exciting and interesting.

Webpages and blogs webpages and blogs tend to be updated a lot slower pace than Web 2.0 sites. This means that if for some reason you don’t stay on topic in the conversation is very quick by move on to another conversation. Even though it seems very easy that your followers can move on you can keep them interested by using other applications to add video and audio and other things to your tweets. There are so many tweaks happening at the same time it is not unusual for you to notice tweeting happening almost once every second.

If you have friends, acquaintances, or relatives that use twitter you might want to invite them to follow you. These people may not be able to help you build your business but it’s a good way to get started, it’s simple, and if you make any mistakes in the beginning, this group will be most forgiving.

You can also take advantage of other applications that help you to use twitter more efficiently and to get more out of it. There are applications that make twitter easier-to-use as well as ones that can help you find followers that are more targeted to your interests.

In order to get more traffic would twitter you should follow the experts in your field. It is best to get as miniature followers as you possibly can. You can accomplish this by following a lot of people, and you have about a 50% chance of them following you back. This strange twitter rule that is unwritten but it makes twitter more enjoyable. Make it very easy to make friends and followers, but that’s just the beginning. You need to develop these relationships once you have your foot in the door as a follower.

Once they follow you back, you should take the time if you can send them a message saying thank you. Another trick is to un follow any of those people that have not followed you back within three days. This will keep the total number of people that you are following to a minimum.

Twitter relies on each other treating each other with respect and decency throughout the community so that people that are following you will want to continue to follow you. And if they decide not to with just the quick press of a mouse button to unfollowed you.

Writing Effectively For Online Readers

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
by Theo McLanahan

Here are the most pertinent instructions for selecting right approach for writing extremely good pieces of writing on Internet. You have to put up your articles on sale in case you write for money. You must understand your business better than others who are not required to sell their writings. Our focus here will be on skills needed for writing articles instead of qualities required for selling them.

The Foremost Rule You should write according to the taste of your intended reader, not according to your own personal taste. This means that you need to explore, identify, and target your message towards specific readers with specific interests. For instance, in an article on the financial market you can’t target grandmothers looking for designs of knitting. You need to write your message according to the comprehension of target readers. No one will understand even correct stuff until and unless it is presented properly.

Keep this thing in mind that people who browse Internet are impatient and they click off the material promptly, which they dont consider important and pleasing.

Before you even put pen to paper, ask yourself this important question: Who are your readers? You will be able to make a decision about type of article you need to write by answering this question. The article may be of any kind such as technical, marketing or philosophical, all which are dissimilar in nature, which is why you must correctly identify your target audience.

You will be able to make a decision about type of article you need to write by answering this question. The article may be of any kind such as technical, marketing or philosophical. All these types are dissimilar in nature.

This step questions your motivation that- why you wish to produce this piece of writing? The articles on the Internet can be classified into four wide approaches, these are

- Writing for Selling: Marketing articles often sell commodities or services to woo readers to a web site. The fast-paced speed of these articles are immediately obvious and, for this reason, the content of marketing remains small in size. Keywords are important for selling because they invite readers performing general word searches.

- Technical writing-This type of writing requires actual facts. The technical aspect is well understood with diagrams. But, in lack of these, one has to keep the description right to avoid misconceptions. The most crucial aspect is the target audience. If you use highly technical words, then a common man would find it difficult to understand. And if the article has more of the style, the people with technical expertise will find it without technical details.

- Trendy Writing: The extensive use of blogs in the recent times has made this writing very popular. The main aspects here are to make the content more appealing and entertaining. This kind of writing should still try to be as straightforward as possible, as well as short and full of quick points. Trendy writing tends to lack details and arguments.

- Intellectual writing-This writing requires detailed description of a particular field. In this you can use references from popular books. This writing is aimed at contributing to that field. However, all the intellectual writings are not bound to be of academic nature. The examples are book reviews and editorial columns.

The Internet is the most popular media for sharing the information and if used in an efficient manner, it can work wonders for you.

Mass Article Control - Article Marketing That Makes Sense

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
by Brandon Fletcher

Mass Article Control can send you ..well massive free visitors.

How would you like to have over 500,000 people visit your website? I am willing to bet that you could make some serious cash if you were to get traffic numbers like that. Well, Mass Article Control can deliver that kind of traffic at no cost to you. No PPC, No ad buys nothing! 100% free and natural traffic.

Did you know that most people go about article marketing in totally the wrong way? In a big hurry to get their articles posted, they do a quick hatchet job lumping in a bunch of random stuff together, or they spend good money on an absolutely horrible writer only to get illegible junk full of spelling and grammar mistakes.

Simply being in the top 10 of the Google results DOES NOT ensure success for your articles. The articles still have to be interesting, maintain good grammar, and be related to what the reader is looking for.

The only problem regarding writing articles is that it takes a whole lot of time to write all those articles..and unless you really like writing more than anything else in the world, its quickly going to turn into a huge energy suck on your time, maybe even causing you to burnout.

With Mass Article Control you can churn out up to 1000 articles or more at the push of a button. And were talking real readable articles, not the barely readable crap that the usual article spinners spit out.

The developers of Mass Article Control are only allowing a certain amount of copies to be sold and they are not keeping the doors open on this for a long time. In fact Mass Article Control will be taken of the market on July 29th.

Obviously, for the price it would be absolutely nuts not to give this software a try. At just $77.00 can you afford not to buy this or better yet, would you want your competitors to have a leg up on you?

For the price of a night out at a cheap restaurant you will be able to have a business partner that works 24/7 delivering you with some serious traffic. If you cant make your money back hundreds times over in just one year then you should probably be looking for a job.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, actually it isn’t. It isn’t like you go out, buy Magnetic Sponsoring, and the next thing you know, you’re sleeping on gold coins. Not at all. Magnetic sponsoring will still be asking you to work - and work really, really hard - but you will be working for the right reasons, which is for yourself .

It will also teach you to work the right way: there are a lot of things that have changed and affected MLM businesses. Learn how to use these to help you, not hinder you. To be cheesy about it, think out of the box: when life gives you lemons, it’s time to make a margarita.

About Magnetic Sponsoring

Or how about the time you spend (read: waste) in chasing after recruits and coddling them until you don’t have time to make YOUR business work? How will it be any different?

When you buy Magnetic Sponsoring, you will surely step into a new phase of your MLM life. This might be where the money lies.

A Brief Look At Unique Article Wizard

Thursday, July 30th, 2009
by Linda Jenkins

Unique Article Wizard (UAW) is a web based application to which you can submit articles. The unique aspect (hence the name) is that they will take one article which you submit and generate hundreds of unique articles from the one. It has the capabilities of turning your article into thousands of unique articles.

Using UAW, your articles can be submitted to as many as 800 different web based directories. Not only do you not have to sign up with these directories, but you can accomplish all of this with a single click! You can choose as many domains as you like to link them to, use any number of different pen names you choose and create and submit articles in any niche you like. Using UAW is incredibly easy; you write an article (it should be at least 300 words long and UAW recommends that they have 8 paragraphs). Once you have written your article, just go to the Unique Article Wizard website and upload the article.

After doing this Unique Article Wizard will help you through rewriting each paragraph. They should be rewritten twice. This will end up giving you three versions of each paragraph in the article. This will be the article you wrote but it will end up being many articles.

This is how the Unique Article Wizard system works; they take these paragraphs and combine them in different ways to make multiple versions of your article. Each article will still say the same thing as your original article, be easy and enjoyable to read and won’t look like they were created using “article spinners”. Your keywords will be left intact, so your articles will be optimized and do the important job of helping your website’s page ranking more efficiently.

After you rewrite all of your paragraphs twice, you can even include back links. By adding these with keyword anchor text you will enable your site to attain higher page rankings. When all the different articles are created UAW submits them all over the web. Your articles will be on thousands of sites. You do not have to do anything. It is your choice whether to have the articles submitted all at one time or just a few every day.

UAW helps you get wide distribution for your articles, maximizing your exposure - but how long does this take? You begin by submitting your article. Within a day, your article will be examined by their staff to make sure that it is compliant with their terms of service. Once this is done, your articles will begin being submitted at midnight the same day.

UAW will submit your articles to directories which fit into the categories you choose for your article. 400-500 directories is the average number your article will be submitted to. In the next four to ten days, you should see your articles starting to show up on the web. Remember that some directories take longer to post articles they receive than do others and some directories may reject your article for their own reasons.

Usually on the fourth day your articles as well as your site will start to be found by the search engines. By the time this happens you will start having all kinds of back links to your site. The number of back links will increase as your articles begin showing up on more sites. If you should need help there are video as well as written tutorials for every step you use to submit your articles.
