Where Should I Submit My Articles?

eZineArticles is by far the biggest and best article directory on the net. Usually takes a few days to be accepted, but once it is it usually shows up in Google and ranks well within a couple of days. The big downside to eZineArticles is that they don’t allow you to use affiliate links and it needs to be reviewed by a real person before it is published.

GoArticles.com is another search engine directory for articles. Articles submitted to GoArticles usually achieve good placement with Google, and you are allowed affiliate which link directly to a merchant.

Like GoArticles, SearchWarp also allow you to submit articles with embedded affiliate links and they are also liked by Google and good for first page rankings.

Good Article Submission Sites:

http://www.wesubmitarticles.com

http://www.articlemarketer.com

Other Article Promotion Methods

After you have finished writing your articles, added them to your blog and submitted them to the directories, you might as well get maximum exposure from them – so here are a few other promo methods:

www.eBay.com – You can take a pack of 5, 10, 15 articles on a similar topic that you have written about and turn them into a PDF ebook with affiliate links embedded. Then list it on eBay and sell it. If you want to go a step further, you can sell it with either master resell rights or even private label rights.

www.USAFreeAds.com – This is a free classified ad site that a lot of people use to put ads on which can also help to get good Google rankings. You need to target keywords that have at least 500 searches and less than 1,000 results.

www.Squidoo.com – You can use Squidoo to create a lens for each product you promote and then send people directly to the affiliate sales page or even to your blog (see below) for reviews and additional info, just as you would with your blog

www.MySpace.com – You can create a MySpace profile for each product that you wish to promote.

www.CraigsList.com – You can also post one (no more or it may be removed) ad to CraigsList to get additional traffic/sales.

How To Write An Article

With Affiliate Article Marketing, quantity is better than quality. It’s about writing lots of articles that are of decent quality rather than a few articles of a high quality. (note – I’m not saying that you should put out garbage articles, that would be just plain dumb. Although your articles need to be very informative, they do not have to be written from an English major’s perspective.)

It reasons that the more optimized articles you write, the more your chances increase of showing up in the first pages of Google’s results. Only choose to promote products which are based around a subject that you are comfortable with. If you don’t know anything about Golf, how can you write an article about it without a lot of research and a lot of wasted time? This is one thing that so many people seem to be doing wrong and then they wonder why it takes them two or three hours to write a decent article. However, if you know your content, you can just sit down and start writing – no (or very little) research required.

Write shorter articles instead of longer ones. If more is better, then it makes much more sense to write two 300-400 word articles then one 600-800 word article. It virtually takes the same amount of time and pretty much doubles the income you can earn. It won’t help you rank better in Google to have a few hundred extra words

Write “how to” or “tip” related articles. If you’re writing an article about a red widget that saves time, then your article could be on “How to Save Time” or “5 Time Saving Tips” where you would provide the content and then introduce the red widget at the end as the solution either in the content of the article (if allowed by the article directory) or in your signature. Or you can simply write a review of the product or service that you have settled on promoting.

Hint – I find that articles that contain a number in the subject seem to get a lot more reads then others. For example “8 easy ways to increase your golf game”.

It also helps not to edit for spelling, grammar and sentence structure while you type. It saves tons of time to do that at the end – only once you’re done writing. Add it to your blog and ping the directories (http://www.pingomatic.com) and submit it to the article directories.

Finding Low Competition Keywords

Keyword research is definitely the key to making Affiliate Article Marketing work and probably one of the hardest parts of it. Affiliate Article Marketing revolves around keywords that are not being targeted by any or many other sites, writing articles about them, then using the articles to drive traffic to your affiliate link for something you can make money with.

For example, let’s say that you’ve found a new fat burning doodad. Then you do some keyword research for the phrase “buy fat burning doodad” and find that the phrase is only listed a few hundred times in Google’s search results. Then you simply find someone who sells “fat burning doodads” and is willing to pay you anywhere from a 35% – 75% commission of the purchase price for any sales you make. So you write an article about buying fat burning doodads that is targeted to the phrase “buy fat burning doodad” and submit it to the article directories.

The primary idea here isn’t that people will find you in the article database. A few people probably will, but that’s not the point. What you’re really hoping to do is use the high page rank of the articles directories to help your article achieve high search engine ranking results.

One of the easiest ways to do keyword competition research is to go to Google, and perform a keyword search for the keyword or phrase you are targeting. Ideally you want there to be no more than 1,000 – 5,000 competitors for the phrase you are targeting. If there’s any more than this, you may only be able to get a first page ranking when putting your keyword phrase in quotes (i.e. “search term”).

If you use a keyword phrase like “marketing tips” there are thousands upon thousands of other sites that might have it embedded in their keyword phrases including “internet marketing tips” “email marketing tips” “small business online marketing tips” so getting top 10 results would be almost impossible. In all honesty, “marketing tips” in not a keyword phrase you would ever want to consider using as it is not at all targeted and is certainly not considered to be a nice.

Tips On Getting Your Articles Read

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Your Resource Box Is Critical!

Like the article itself, the resource box must also be eye-catching to demand the attention and interest of the reader. While the resource bow encompasses only a small space, providing the right keywords and content for your resource box will provide more prodding for the reader to go to your site.

Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages. They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be counted upon as potential customers.

So what would be a good content for your resource box? Basically it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords that people are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find in the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to use.

Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you better make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your reader with resource box content that can make them give a second look. Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids to drive your point in. But you do have the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can make them think and intrigued.

Another tip is to use keywords that should be related to your site. Do not mislead your potential website visitors. Build your credibility so that more people would get enticed to visit your site and browse what you have to offer. Make the people click your resource box by providing resource box content that makes a lasting impression. You only get one chance to wow them and hundreds of chances to repulse them.

Never underestimate the power of the resource box. It may be small in size but they will provide a significant aid in driving traffic to your site. A boring resource box will never get a job done. Be fun and creative but at the same time show that you have a great deal to offer, too much to ask for something that couldn’t fit a paragraph? Yes and no, there are many tips and guides that can help you in doing this, the first step is realizing how important a resource box could be in making people click your link and be directed to your site.

Keep This In Mind While Writing Articles

Here are some tips to help you in writing your articles. There are four things that all articles must have to make them successful …

Targeted Keywords and Keyword Phrases

An article must always be centered on the keywords and keyword phrases. As each website visitor goes to a site, there are those who are just merely browsing but actually looking for a specific something. When this happens, a searcher usually goes to a search engine and types in the keywords they are looking for (e.g. Toyota Camry, Meningitis, Tax Lawyer and Etcetera). It could be anything they want.

The Important thing is that you have an article that has the keywords that are related to your site. For example, if you maintain an auto parts site, you must be able t have articles about cars and their parts.  There are many tools in the internet that provides service in helping a webmaster out in determining what keywords and keyword phrases are mostly sought out. You can use this tool to determine what keywords to use and write about.

Keyword Density

Know that you have your keywords and keyword phrases, you must use them fully. An article must have good keyword density for a search engine to “feel” its presence. Articles should at least have ten to fifteen percent of keyword density in their content for search engines to rank a site high in their search results. Getting a high rank is what articles do best for a site.

Keyword density is the number of times a keyword or keyword phrase is used on an article. The number varies depending on the number of words used in an article. An effective article must have a keyword density that is not too high or too low. With a very high density, the essence of the article is lost and may turn off a reader as well as the search engines. It comes off as overeager. A low number may be ignored by the search engines.

Good Article Content

Like what is stated above, you cannot just riddle an article with keywords. They must also be regarded as good reading materials. Articles must be able to entertain people as well as provide good information and help for their needs. Articles should be written well with correct spelling and good grammar. If you want people to trust you, make your work good and well thought out.

People respond well to figures, facts and statistics. Try to get great information and as many facts as you can. A good and well written article will boost your reputation as an expert in your chosen field or topic. As more people believe in you. They will be able to trust you and your products.

Linking Articles

And another important thing to remember. If you are going to submit articles to ezines and/or contribute your articles to newsletters and other sites, DON’T ever forget to include a link to your site. A little resource box with a brief description of your site and you should always be placed right after your articles that you have submitted. If people like your articles, they will most likely click on the link directing them to your site.
