Internet Business Tips and Notes

The secret weapon of search engine marketing, website promotion and website submission is a powerful free technique that really can boost web site traffic when done right. This is the power of writing an article.

The secret of the top ranked websites online is the content they produce. All websites, regardless of what they do, are creating new content all the time, or using the content of others. By writing an article, you can get your reputation and links pointing back to your website on thousands of other top ranked websites.

Some people have created what is called an e-zine, or electronic magazine, where they write about a certain subject, and insert advertisements to generate an income for themselves. They are looking for quality articles to add to their e-zines and websites, and your article can be syndicated into these e-zines.

You get maximum use out of an article by publishing and syndicating it in hundreds of directories.

To get your article accepted, you need to meet the minimum requirements of each article bank, or else your article will not get listed.

Remember, you will not make any money from your articles (normally), since you are providing free content in exchange for a short “bio box” at the end of your article, where you can make your pitch.

Every article that has ever been widely published and read has always met the following requirements:

1. Each article should range between 300 and 700 individual words.

2. Each article should contain a keyword that people actively search for.

3. Articles should have a powerful attention title that includes a keyword.

4. The first line of your article is very important, and should draw the reader into reading your article.

5. Your article should be informative, helpful or fun to read, and never should include affiliate links or advertisements.

6. The resource box is where you can promote yourself and your website, so use it to create a powerful call to action, and include 1 or 2 hyperlinks.

You can write the article on your own, or hire a ghost writer to write it for you. You may also buy “private label right” articles and rewrite them.

To get your article submitted to all the article directories, you can either do it by hand, or use software to speed up the process. An even easier way is to get someone else to do it, by outsourcing the task. There are a lot of companies that do a great job, and make sure your article gets accepted.

It does not matter how your article gets done, or submitted - it just needs to get done, and the sooner the better. Article marketing is among the very best of the online advertising and promotion methods ever created.
