Zen Of Internet Marketing

Article marketing works fantastic for increasing the traffic coming to your website. For anyone who isn’t familiar with it, it’s the process of writing articles about the topic of your website and submitting them to “article directories” on the internet.

As you know, having fresh content on your website and blog is key when it comes to getting search engine traffic. Many website owners and bloggers visit article reprint directories on a daily basis, in search of articles to use on their sites.

When you submit your articles to the various directories, you give permission for other webmasters to use them on their websites or blogs, with the condition that they include an “about the author” section that you include at the end of your article.

You get to write what you want included in that box, so include a bit of information about the product or service you offer and include links to your site.

When someone posts your article on their site, they also post this about the author section and everyone who reads the article on their website sees it. Your article can ultimately end up on hundreds of websites, with thousands of visitors reading it and clicking the links through to your own site.

There are plenty of article directories to choose from on the web. All you need to do is search Google for ‘free article directories’ and you’ll find a bunch. Some of them will be topic-specific (say, health or finance related articles for example) while other are more general. You can submit the same article to multiple directories to get the best exposure. In fact, you can even get software that will automate the process for you.

Choosing a topic for your article is quite simple. What is your website about? Think of something your visitors would be looking for and then write an article about it. For example, someone who sells Tupperware could quite easily write about any food-related topics or even something a little further afield such as organizing your home.

And if you don’t really enjoy writing, it’s not a problem. You can hire writers to ghostwrite your articles at various places on the internet. How much you’ll pay will depend on different factors, but usually you’ll wind up paying between $8 and $20 per 500 word article.
