Typically, about eighty percent of my workday is devoted to website promotion. Sometimes, it occupies my whole day.
I have, literally, tried almost every known website promotion technique. Article marketing is my favorite because it is by far the most effective. But, only if it is done properly.
Article marketing will work for you if you remember just a few things.
1. Your article titles are critical. Without a good title, nobody will even consider running an article on their site.
2. Write conversationally, but not too informally. This is especially important if your topic is serious in nature (health, investing, etc.) or if you hope to me viewed as an expert.
3. Do not waste your readers' time. Don't take two paragraphs to make a point that can be made in one.
4. Do not limit yourself to writing articles on the subject(s) of the websites(s) you are trying to promote. If you do, there are article directories and websites on which you will never be published.
5. Craft your author's box copy carefully. Be certain that your website links are embedded in your best keywords. Most of my sites are on higher education, so my links are embedded in terms like "online degrees", "online colleges", "scholarships" and other terms for which I would like my sites to rank well.
6. Proofread. Even one error in spelling or punctuation can prevent your article from being published.
Nothing will compensate for good content. But, however good your content, aggressive promotion is required if you want people to visit your site. And, nothing works better than a well-conceived article marketing campaign. - 21704
