Article Marketing is a very cheap way (can be totally free) to achieve high search engine rankings thus attracting targeted visitors to your website.
Bear in mind that you do not have to be a highly skilled author in order to write articles. As long as you are able to put together a few paragraphs of good information then you can certainly write articles and use article marketing as a method to promote your online business website.
Article Directories will display what topics they will accept, so check the drop down menu displaying the article categories and choose the most suitable one for your article.
They will also provide guidelines to let you know the length of articles they accept, i.e. the minimum number of words per article as well as the maximum. They will probably stipulate that the articles must be written in English with good grammar. It is advisable to read the fine print prior to submitting articles to avoid the disappointment of have them rejected.
In the fine print you may notice that some websites reserve the right to edit articles. So bear in mind that if your content is changed there is nothing that you can do about it. Do not submit to sites that reserve the right to edit your articles if you do not want them edited.
As article marketing is really a free form of advertising and exposure, do not expect to be paid for submitting articles. A few sites will pay for original articles though.
What you can expect from submitting articles is the opportunity to make yourself known as an expert in your field, as well at the services and/or products you offer, plus gain valuable back-links to your website from the link in your resource box, where readers can click through to your website to find more information.
It is advisable to write the resource box in the third person. Your resource box should include your name, a few words about yourself and an invitation to readers to visit your website for more information. Be sure to hyperlink your website address with your keyword phrase.
Once you have written an article, your next step is to publish it. You can use an article submission service or submit manually to each article directory which, although time-consuming, is still very effective.
Most article directories will require you to become a member before you can submit articles, so you will have to signup by completing a simple form to open an account. There is no fee involved. As a member you will be able to check your statistics and complete an author's profile where you can put quite a lot of detail about yourself and your websites.
You will notice that after submitting an article it may be marked as Pending. This is because many article directories manually approve articles before they go live, to ensure that they are in accordance with their guidelines. Due to the huge amount of spam submitted to the article directories, the webmasters need to filter out the rubbish to ensure they maintain a directory of quality articles.
You will be notified by some of the article directories (certainly not all) as to whether your article has been rejected or accepted. However, many do not so it is advisable to login regularly to your account and check the status of your articles. You may find you need to make minor adjustments to an article and resubmit it before it is finally accepted.
When an article directory accepts and publishes your article then other webmasters and ezine owners can freely add your article to their website, blog or ezine, resulting in even more exposure for you. The article directory guidelines for publishers will stipulate that they are not allowed to change your article and must keep the resource box intact acknowledging that you are the author.
It is worth your while submitting, quality, informative articles that other webmasters will want to display on their websites. This will give your online business more exposure plus extra back-links.
Many people think that article marketing is difficult, but as you can see article marketing is actually very simple and a great online business idea. You simply write an informative article based on the theme of your website and then submit it to the article directories.
Although you will not be paid for writing your articles you will be rewarded with increased back-links, higher search engine rankings and targeted visitors to your online business website.
