Learn Important Tips Towards Efficient Article Marketing

By Taisha Lydecker


Article marketing can be an excellent way to increase your website's traffic and raise the online visibility and reputation of your business. Many business owners are confused about how article marketing works, though. Below is a beginner-friendly guide to effective article marketing. Because not everyone enjoys reading long articles, you should always shoot for articles no longer than 500 words. Many studies have been conducted on this subject, and the popular consensus is that most readers lose interest in basic web articles after 500 words. Don't forget: The Internet is a doorway to instant information, so it's easy to click off of your content and onto a funny video.

If you are going to use micro-blogging sites to promote your business, be sure you understand their function before you start posting. If you fail to follow the etiquette and usage of the format, you could do more harm than good to the reputation and online presence of your business.

If you're accepting guest content in order to keep your site fresh and relevant, always make sure you read over the content thoroughly before posting it. Pay attention to the quality of the content, where someone's links lead to, and if this content has been posted anywhere before, because once you accept the content, it is your responsibility.

Be sure to use a different article for each index that you use. There are thousands of available topics, so it should be easy to create a unique portfolio. It can be tempting to use the same article over several different indexes. Search engines are also aware of this technique and will penalize your ranking for it.

Become an "expert". Research and write about topics that are related to each other to become the go-to person for a specific subject. Your audience will learn to trust your advice, and continue returning to your articles. They are also more likely to buy products recommended by someone they consider to be well-versed.

To help market your article, try to keep your content focused on a wider audience. This will make sure that it interests loyal readers and doesn't make any potential readers feel that the content is not for them. Don't overfill your content with too many industry-specific terms that not everybody will understand.

Make sure each article you write has unique and original content. A reader should not be able to search for a similar topic and come up with a word for word copy of your supposedly original article. Provide your own insights and personal ideas and clearly express them throughout your writing.

Rewrite your original article, or hire someone to do it for you. This article should be totally unique, high-quality, and optimized for your keyword. Be sure to write a compelling author's resource box that contains two backlinks to your site, one pointed to your main domain, and one to the original article. Submit the rewrite to EzineArticles.com. Once your article is published there, you will have your own author's RSS feed. Each article that is approved on Ezine will ping your author's feed.

As said earlier, you can make gains in growing your business and increasing traffic to your site with article marketing. If you go about it correctly you'll find that article marketing will change your business for the better.
