How to do article marketing...My favorite ways

Article marketing has been around for a long time and that is no accident. Article marketing still really works.

A lot of times it works better than the new hyped up strategies that many people try to persuade you can make you tons of money. Submitting articles with high quality and in high quantities to the best article directories (My favorites listed below) can make you some real affiliate commissions. Oh ya and it's free traffic. =)

When people see Clickbank products, a lot of the time they will search on Google for more information or for a review. That's where you come in. Your articles are posted on sites that Google loves and will rank high in the organic results. People will read your article then buy through your link.

Be sure to follow these important steps:

1. Make a good article (real content that is useful)
2. Make sure it is filled with a lot of keywords (niche words, product owners, product names, the word review, or bonus works well, even scam (ahh))
3. Only give a link to the product at the end of the article
4. Now make a ton of them

So how do you make #4 easier?

You spin the articles. This is basically a way of copying your one article many times and in a beneficial way. You change the wording so that search engines don't penalize you for duplicate content.

There are article spinners you can find online that are free or you can use my favorite tricky technique :)

You can copy and paste your article in Google Translate, translate it into another language (say Spanish) then translate it back. Skim through it for errors and you should have a differently worded article. You can do this over and over again!

Enjoy and tell me what you think =)

I would recommend a 5-8% keyword density and instead of putting your links at the end of your article include keyword linked text in your resource box. It is also a good idea to include your URL spelled out, however do not waste a link on this, just spell out your URL and use your links on the keywords.

This is because some sites picking up your article for content will not pick up the links with it, you at least want your URL there so someone reading your article on one of these sites can copy and paste it into their browser if they need to.

I always "recycle" my articles using document sharing sites. You can also create an ebook from your articles and you can submit your mini ebook to ebook submission sites. Same content pulling traffic from different sites...

Ezinearticles.com is one of the best. you have to wait your article to be submitted for a week though.
And there is a super easy way to get viral traffic with this site using unique google code.

Hey Justin!

Long time man, hit me up...(Hows your launch?)

Ok anyway, about article marketing. Just wanted to share a way.

On Warriorforum, you can get an article, professionally written and SEO'd, for just a buck! ($1)

Since I am very lazy, I usually take the service. They usually have discounts for bulk orders.

And I usually use Keyword Elite (the paid version, but there's free too!) by Brad Callen, to submit my keywors. It is very friendly and easy to use.

And to top it over, once I have written, submitted and been approved for 5-7+ articles in the same niche, there's another service on WarriorForum for $4.95( there are many actually ) that place your article's name hyperlinked on 15+ already indexed in Google Web 2.0 websites.

Thus, more backlinks = higher rankings = higher traffic

This is the "Lazy Method by Sim". Ofcourse, if you are hard working and are willing, you can do all this manually too.

Just my share! 2 cents :P


Thanks
Sim

Interesting idea to have your article translated then back again - will def give it a whirl. I have used various article spinners but have never found one that lives up to its hype. I usually find that by the time I've checked what the spinner has inserted, I could have re-written it myself! :)

Writing articles... should be a humanly done thing, with plenty of research on the subject.

No spinner, software or will deliver the consistent quality that YOU can do yourself.

Yes it will take more time, but if you want to be associated with quality and knowledge (which ultimately turns to income) there's only one way to go :)

Wow, this is a great topic! This should definitely be put somewhere as an obvious "must read" for those of us who are new to this. I had never thought about using Google, or any translating service (Babelfish is still my favorite) for free article spinning and I've long been in Ray's camp - that spinning should be avoided.

So, here's my question for Justin, or anyone else - are you saying you would just spin different versions of the article to the different Ezine publishers above - or are you saying you would go even farther than that? Thanks again for the great topic.
