Website SEO – How to Market With Articles

Link Building

Article Marketing

Article marketing is one of the most reasonably priced online marketing methods that delivers traffic.  Not only does it deliver traffic but it also delivers links that helps you build your authority and increase your search engine ranking.  It just takes time or you can outsource it.

The Steps To Article Marketing

1.  You need to find keywords and keyword phrases that are appropriate to your article and site.  Be sure these are competitive keywords and that you can rank well with them.  Using keywords that are so competitive you could never rank on the first page is a waste of time.  Believe me because I have tried.  It is not worth the effort.

2.  Once you have your keyword terms, create a eye catching title.  You will use the main keywords in this title.

3.  Write the body of your article (between 300 and 400 words) using you keywords throughout.  Remember your readers are human.  Don't over use your keywords.  Your article should be enjoyable and easy to read.  Remember to write at a 6th grade level.  You can check the readability level here.

If you outsource this function you should be able to get excellent article for between $3.50 and $5.00 per article.

4.  Now submit your article to one of many article marketing sites such as EzineArticles or GoArticles.  Don't limit yourself to only these two sites.  Place it on multiple sites over time.  And remember to put a link back to your site in the resource box.

5.  Now bookmark your article and use social media to announce it to the world.

The Results

The results of article marketing is traffic to your site if it is done correctly.  Through the use of social media and social bookmarking an ever increasing number of readers will find your site.  Now all you need to do is to convert them into buyers.

Even if you outsource the article writing, article marketing is a very reasonable way to market your site and your products.
