Internet marketing is defined as a type of advertising which businesses engage in by circulating short articles.

Im here to tell you that internet article marketing works! Why do you think so many article directories are popping up all over the internet the past couple of years? Internet article marketing is a great method to get tons of traffic to your website without breaking the bank by spending your hard earned money on advertising services like Google Adwords(tm), Yahoo Search Marketing(tm), or Microsoft adCenter(tm).

If your niche is very competitive, your costs can begin to add up fast. Sometimes youll tally up your finances and find that you have a negative ROI. This is easily avoided by using internet article marketing.

By using article marketing, you can become a known expert in your particular niche(s).

When you employ internet article marketing, youll soon have lots of quality back-links to your website.

Internet Article Marketing - How Does it Work?

As you know, the world wide web is made up of many websites. These sites all contain content. People search for content about a specific subject. They find the information by using a search engine. What search engines do is spider or crawl the internet visiting each page. They take this content and index it using the descriptions and keywords found on the page.

By carefully indexing and cataloging the information that they found when crawling the web, the search engines give you the best information they have which is related to the subject that you were searching for. The content that the search engines find has to be accurate, fresh, and closely relate to whatever term was searched for. Articles, if well written, are considered an invaluable source of information from which to draw.

If a website is to keep its visitors returning on a regular basis, the webmaster must provide their visitors with interesting, timely, and accurate information. These factors are vitally important for someone who maintains a website or blog on a daily basis. If the webmaster wants to climb high and remain there in the search results for his particular niche, he has to post new information to his site every day.

Im sure you can see that making posts every day can take a lot of valuable time. So, in order to keep up, the blogger supplements his content with quality articles written by other people. They find these articles on article directories.

Tell Me What An Article Directory Is

Article directories are websites that have alot of articles stored in one large database. The articles are arranged by their different topics. Authors are encouraged to submit their articles there. Bloggers and other webmasters (a.k.a. Publishers) can find free articles to post on their own website so long as credit to the original author is kept intact. Article directories have volumes and volumes of information on just about any subject that you might be able to think of, probably some that you havent even thought of.

Youll find specialized article directories which only accept articles whose subject is about certain niches such as computer technology, or skin care. You just need to read the submission rules and each directory to see what is permissible and what is not. Most topics are allowed as long as they dont promote hate speech or advocate violence.

How Do I Benefit In Return For Submitting My Articles To The Article Directories?

Following the last paragraph, there is a place where the author can place his resource box. This usually contains one or two sentences about the author and invites the reader to visit his or her website for more information beyond the article.

When you submit your articles to an article directory, youll gain many benefits. Not only will you get free marketing from it, youll also get lots of exposure.

Research Is Crucial

Like any leg of internet marketing, internet article marketing is not any different. Youll do some research on the topic area of the articles that you intend to write. This research is very easy to do. Visiting forums and visiting websites which center around your chosen subject will provide you with alot of information from which to write an article of between 250-750 words.

Ok, Now That Ive Written My Article, What Next?

First thing to do is to post your article on your website or blog. Wait a couple of weeks to a month until your article has been indexed in the search engines. Youll be able to tell by searching for your article title in quotation marks. After you find it, its alright to submit it to the article directories. This is the way to do it in order to minimize chances of any duplicate content penalties.

Are You Serious About Waiting A Month?

Well, there is one new method of writing and submitting your article(s) to your own blog as well as about 700+ different article directories whereby each article directory will get a unique version of your article virtually eliminating any worries of duplicate content.

Have We Really Seen The Death Of Article Marketing?

February 21st, 2008 by admin

Article marketing has been an effective method of website promotion that has literally been used since the inception of the public Internet. I have been online since November of 1995, and even in those early days, I would read people’s articles and click the link in their resource box to learn more about their website.

The Early Days of Article Marketing

In those early days, there were a few players who recognized the value of article marketing. The two writers who were most influential to my use of article marketing, as a promotion method, were:

* Dr. Nunley (http://www.DrNunley.com) has been online since 1996, and this website was registered in Oct. of 1997. Dr. Nunley was influential in that he taught me the power of syndicated article content. * Wild Bill Montgomery (http://www.MakingProfit.com) started his website in Nov. of 1998. Wild Bill offered one of the very first article distribution websites. I received his daily mailings for nearly a year, until he shut his article system down. I subscribed to Wild Bill’s mailings, so that I could locate articles for my own publication and website, and later to distribute my own articles.

It was in the aftermath of the demise of Montgomery’s article distribution system that I wrote my first script to enable me to make better use of this promotional method for my own articles. That original script was adapted later to became the foundation for my article distribution service a couple years later.

Duplicate Content And Article Marketing

February 14th, 2008 by admin

Articles written for internet distribution are meant to be duplicated. Otherwise, what is the purpose of article marketing if not to circulate your work and get known as a writer with some knowledge of certain subjects?
The dilemma begins with the ways content is duplicated. For example, there is nothing wrong with email unless it is tagged as spam. The same goes for articles intended to be duplicated for circulation and not to become what Google technology considers as duplicate content. So lets start with how Google looks at duplicate content.

Article Marketing When You Can’t Write

February 7th, 2008 by admin

Article marketing means writing articles and having them published in ezines (electronic magazines) and on other peoples websites in the hope that visitors who read the articles will visit your website. The presence of your articles online also earns valuable links to your website and this increases your standing with the search engines.
Article marketing is one of the best methods of free online advertising. There are many sources of free advertising online but, sadly, with most of them you get what you pay for: nothing. Article writing and publishing is different: it is both free and effective.
There are some people who simply cannot or will not write. A webmaster who cant write or refuses to will have the choice of hiring a ghost writer (expensive), buying “limited edition” pre-written articles that will be sold to a few hundred other webmasters (cheaper but still a significant dent in the advertising budget) or republishing articles offered on article directory websites (free). The free option is the most popular and, if you can write, you get the chance to have your article with a link to your website used by the webmasters who republish articles from the directories.
