Feb 5th
Have you been looking for an affordable way to drive traffic to your website? Then you should probably look into writing articles as a means of getting traffic. Today’s world is highly competitive in almost every category, so the importance of getting traffic (the right kind at that) cannot be overemphasized.
Finding the right strategy that will get you targeted traffic can be your only means of survival, more so in the cutthroat world that is ecommerce.
Managing to rank high in the search engines can be a pretty nasty task if you don’t know how to do it. But fortunately for us there are plenty of ways to advertize our website and achieve a large amount of traffic to your site.
There is a wide variety of techniques that you can adapt to your advertising campaign. From paid advertizing (pay-per-click) or even to affiliate marketing. However, most of these require some sort of payment. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of ways that you can get your website known to the world and increase your traffic without spending a dime.
Writing articles is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your website, and to make it even better, not only does it work but it is also free. So you might be asking yourself, how can writing a few articles help me get more traffic to my website? Right?
Here is a list of the top 7 ways that articles can improve the number of hits you receive on your webpage.
1. Ability to reach out to larger amounts of people
When you spend time writing an article, it would be an awful shame to not share it with readers. You can place your article on your website or you can submit it to popular sites like e-zines as well as other online publishers.
When you submit your article to sites such as these, you not only expose yourself to the world, but you also expose your website. All you have to do is include a link back to your site, or provide the needed information in the resource box. When you do this, you get exposure and FREE advertisement.
Submit your articles to popular e-zines and take advantage of their popularity. Other sites who find your article relevant may also link back to you. Thus, you increase your link popularity, which is one of the most important strategies in the internet world.
Remember that most people are looking for information online and by filling this need with your quality article; you may reap the benefit of more exposure and higher web traffic.
2. Free Way of Advertizing Your Website
When you submit your article to other websites it presents an opportunity for you to advertize your site without having to pay ridiculous amounts of cash. Although you should avoid the ever so popular marketing language in your articles and make it as informative and useful to your readers as you possibly can. Use the resource box to market yourself.
If your article happens to be useful and informative it will definitely make great impressions for your website and that could eventually lead in more traffic and ultimately the most important thing…sales.
If you have good quality content in the body of your article, that is way more effective than a few lines of ad space. Remember that you have a very special opportunity to presale your website for free to a prospective customer. So don’t drive them away, give them what they are looking for in your article…information.
3. Gain High Search Engine Ranking
Make a new page in your website where you will place your article. Make your article search engine friendly (optimize it). Use the best keywords that relate to your subject, and the meta-tags that will give your page the best results. As soon as you upload your new webpage, you’ll find that search engines will spider through it and this will help you and increase your ranking.
Do not forget that when your content is completely SEO friendly, it is a better possibility that you will get a higher ranking.
4. Increases Link Popularity
Instead of searching and finding other websites that agree to link to your site, you can instead submit an article to popular high-ranking sites. Make sure to remember to add your website link in the resource box.
If your article gets accepted to the website which you submitted to, you automatically gained a new link.
Gain as many backlinks as you possibly can. Links to your website is one of the major factors that search engines use to determine what your ranking is going to be, so if you have more links you will rank higher. Therefore, make sure that you write an article that will be especially useful to those who read it that way more sites are more willing to link to your site.
5. Ensure that your site meets the standards and is search engine friendly
Ensure that your site is full of keywords relating to your topic. Do not forget that keywords are one of the most important things that search engines use to determine your ranking in a search result.
Provide useful information on your website and avoid the temptation of using way too many keywords as a way to gain high rankings. The only thing that will happen if you stuff your site with keywords is that the people who you are trying to get to buy or take action on your site will be turned off.
Relevance and quality is still the most important things to consider when writing articles and it will be doubly useful to your site if you make these articles search-engine optimized.
7. You will get Good Impressions and great References
By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you not only give your site exposure, you are also creating a good impression on your prospects.
Encourage more people to visit your site and do business with you by establishing an impressive reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the field and you will ultimately gain more customers eager to do business with you.
7. Upgrades your credibility with references as well as personal testimonies
Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedbacks and testimonies when you publish them in e-zines and free article sites. Record these positive feedbacks and comments and use them as promotional material in your website or in any of your advertising efforts.
Your credibility will be greatly enhanced by these feedbacks, as it will create a good impression on your prospects as well as your existing customers. In this highly competitive world, excellent credibility and trust may be the only things you need to attract new customers or make loyal patrons out of your existing customers.
Original, relevant, useful and pertinent articles are important tools you should utilize to improve and explode your business. So remember, if you need a free way to advertise your website, writing articles is probably your best bet.
You now understand the importance of Article Directory’s so visit one and post an article and expose yourself to the world. If you’re searching for information on a certain niche perhaps you’d like to Read Articles instead.
Unique Article Wizard Secrets
Feb 2nd
I came across the Unique Article Wizard (UAW) early in my Internet Marketing days. And “Thank God!” By then I had tried so many products and got ripped off. This service submits a totally unique version of your article to usually over 1000 sites, depending on the topic. Unfortunately, when you sign up, you must agree not to tell how it creates the unique versions. What I can tell you is how your articles get all over the Internet.
There are many plugins offered for different types of sites, like Wordpress. All you need to do is install the plugin, set your preferences and there you have. You will receive hundreds of topic specific articles to your niche site.
Every web site that has this plugin installed receives these unique versions of your article. This also helps them to rank higher in search engines, because their content is unique and constantly updated. This also a great way for you to get content.
It’s keeps all of your article in a database, which after 4 months you can resubmit them. This is a great way to keep your articles in the spotlight. It also allows you to add video, audio and images to your articles, which makes them even more unique.
New features are always added and they are always communicating with the users. They have a help desk where you can ask questions, and they actually get back to you. This is one product I use constantly for Internet marketing.
OK, I know. I sound like a salesman. I’m not asking you to believe me. I’m asking you to give it a try. If you don’t like it cancel. If you find your traffic doesn’t improve, cancel. But once you try it, you’ll wonder why the hell didn’t you hear about this before. I know I did.
Create your self a few articles, submit them and wait. It actually works. I’m not asking you to trust me blindly. I know, I’ve been burned. Maybe this is not for everyone. You only need to sign up for one month. If you have your articles submitted and it doesn’t drastically increase your traffic, say from 0 to a few hundred people a day, then cancel.
Sure a few hundred new visitors in one month doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you are just starting, believe me this is a lot. You can accomplish that with less than 5 articles. However, if you write more…you will get more traffic.

What is unique article marketing? The answer is quite simple. It is when you submit unique articles to the article directories,websites, and blogs. Simple enough right! Well you came to this article marketing lesson site to learn more than that! Unique article marketing is simple but it is a tad bit more than just submitting unique articles to websites. Let me explain further.
Unique articles must not be basically the same article with just a few words changed. It must be more unique than that. The search engines will easily detect if you’re articles are basically the same. Here is where you must make your articles unique.
The title must be unique. This is very important. I suggest a keyword tool to help you put keywords in your article titles. There are many free keyword tool sites and some that charge a fee but they are well worth it. You can have a great unique article but your readers must be able to find you. I also suggest long tailed keywords. They are more effective most of the time because the competition is so stiff for the top keywords. This is a topic for another lesson but for now we will stick with unique article marketing. Here is the key point make each title relevant to your article and include different keywords in each title.
Here is another key point to getting unique article marketing results. Write your articles and make them at least 30% unique. Simple enough. It will take longer to make your articles unique but well worth the time. When your articles get submitted you may have different ones show up in the search engines. How cool and powerful would that be.
Here is a often overlooked unique article marketing strategy. You must and I repeat must make your resource boxes unique. By this I mean use different keywords and domain names in them. What this means is to insert different domains related to your articles in your resource boxes. When you do this you will help the different domains get backlinks which will drive your sites higher up the rankings.
Thank you for reading my unique article marketing online tips. I recommend using a article submitter that will mass submit your articles to the article directories in unique format. I also suggest not mass submitting your articles to hundreds of sites overnight with these services. A recommended submission of 10-20 unique articles a day may get you great results.

Are You Suffering From Writers Block?
Jan 27th
Do you have writers block? Are you staring at that piece of paper, pen in hand, but nothing is getting written down? Or sitting by your computer all ready to type up a storm, yet your brain isn’t giving you the words you’re searching for?
Almost as if your brain isn’t communicating with your body somehow. Writing isn’t the easiest thing to do in the world, and when that block comes up. Well you might as forget about it for a while. All the good author’s have had problems with it before, and they will again.
So what can you do to help out with this problem? Well one thing they say to do is use writing prompts, and write everyday of the week. It doesn’t matter if what you’re putting down isn’t making any sense, your writing.
Sit outside and look around, make up a story about a situation or a car that you see. These are all ways that you may be able to jump start the muse in you. But if you begin to get too frustrated and can’t think of a thing, walk away.
Listen to music, read, watch a movie, go out and head to the beach. It won’t matter but just get away from sitting and staring as nothing comes to you. It will only frustrate you more than what you already are at this point.
Many writers will have this happen through the years they write. There is nothing wrong with you, and nothing that a doctor will be able to help out with. Instead it is going to be all you who will either find the muse again, or sit around with nothing to do.
Surely you won’t have it for the rest of your life. Once it’s gone get back up and do it all again!

AdWords Advertising
Jan 22nd
Campaigns on AdWords are designed to be small effectively written ads. Even though they are small they can be very effective in driving users tho your web site.
Two methods exist and they depend on where you are going to place your advertisement. During the set up process of the AdWords campaign you will be given a couple of options and you can decide to place your ad on the search or content network (Adsense) or you can place it on both networks.
Search network advertisements are assigned many keywords that would match the text of the advertisement and that is an excellent method for getting searches to locate your product or service.
Alternatively, using the content network, your advertisement will be placed alongside an article with content relating to your advertisement. In this case it is read by users who may not necessarily be interested in actually purchasing any product or service, and, put another way, are browsers rather than searchers.
Because of this, contextual advertisements normally do not have the same impact as search advertisements. If your desire is to target both markets you want to create two separate marketing campaigns as this will allow you to expand your target area and inevitably increase traffic to your site.
Contextual adverts have their advantages despite the fact that they may not give as many advantages as a search based advert. Your cost per hit is a lot lower and you’ll have a little more flexibility in where your adverts land.
If you have an active search advert on AdWords and want to try out the content network, you may wish targeting content advertising separately. Although it may be possible for you to reproduce your search network advertising copy verbatim, the content network has a more passive audience and this approach may not be appropriate. Reworking of the copy with this in mind may prove to be a more effective campaign.
In the final analysis a well run search network campaign is usually the most effective way to generate business but with a little ingenuity and well written copy there is no reason why this could not be supported by a parallel campaign on the content network.

It’s Easy to Increase Traffic to Your Blog
Jan 10th
Blogs are a great way to promote your service or product. Blogs are simple to install, easy to administer and simple to update. Search engines love them because they are generally a great source of original content. However, without traffic, a blog cannot reach its full potential. Provided here are 5 simple and easy ways to improve traffic to your blog and start making money.
Step 1: Submit your blog to search engines. The are myriad of search engines, many that list only blogs. If you Google for “blog search engines”, you probably will find 20 or more of them. These blog search engines will help to increase targeted traffic to your blog. A few basic points to remember: write a good title and a good description. By writing a good title and description, visitors will easily find your blog and click on your links.
2. Update your content regularly. Search engines and blog services thrive on regular updates. It’s very likely that you will get targeted traffic from search engines if you post often. That means you should make a new post to your blog at least daily. But be careful. Too many updates per day can harm your search engines position and hits. 10 or more is probably too many.
#3. Post in Forums, don’t SPAM them. Put a link to your blog in your signature. Be sure to make your posts original and interesting. Don’t just post in every forum on the INTERNET; be selective and post in forums consistent with the content of your blog. For example, if you’re selling purses, post in forums that are about fashion and clothes. Don’t post in car forums if you’re selling toys. Posting in forums creates one-way links that will help to improve your search engine position in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, or Bing.
Step 4: Develop a list of blog services to ping. There are many blogs services that you can ping. Pinging means that you notify the service that you have updated your blog. In turn, you gain traffic through the updated listing in these services. There are a list of 50+ blog services that you can ping on my site. This should be more than enough to provide an initial jump in traffic to your blog.
Step 5: Add buttons to popular newsreaders. There are sites such as yahoo, Google or bloglines that have a members area where you can choose sites with RSS feeds to fetch the most recent updates from various blogs. Thus, you can have the most recent updates from as many as 50 blogs listed on one page.
By following these simple steps, you will definitely increase the traffic to your blog. Traffic is the first step to getting the sales that you seek. The main guideline is that you update your blog with fresh original content that you have written yourself. Who knows, if you do it right, you might be able to quit your day job eventually.

SEO and Backlink Building
Jan 3rd
Ranking well in the search engines for highly competitive phrases takes more than just on-page SEO tactics. It takes backlinks, and lots of them.
Backlinks are links from other websites or blogs that link to your website. Some good backlinks will do more than anything you do on your own site.
When somebody embeds a link to your page, they are implying that they value the content of your site. When Google or any other major search engine spots this link, they tally it like a vote.
The anchor text takes priority over the quantity of links to your site. An anchor text is the text which you can see and click on for a text link. A search engine can locate your anchor text and utilize it to determine the nature of your site.
This is the reason why it is desirable to have main keywords incorporated within the anchor text of incoming links. Having understood the importance of backlinks, we will now explore ways to get them.
People will be more likely to embed links to your site if they find it useful, interesting, and one-of-a-kind. Therefore, you should try to offer unique and controversial conent. Remember, offering well-maintained material that isn’t available elsewhere on the web is key to getting links!
Try to make it really easy for other websites to link to your website. Try setting up a “link to us” page to simplify the process. Also, make sure that you include keywords in the anchor text.
All you have to do is write a few articles and request that they be listed in article directories. Webmasters will select them to be posted on other sites with a link to your site. With just one article you can get many links back to your site. Or you can directly contact sites that fall into your field and ask if you can be a regular contributor.
