Article Marketing and SEO

Many marketers use organic traffic as a way to bring in new business and customers. This is because it is effective and free. It only takes the investment of your time and there are many different ways to use SEO (search engine optimization) to increase your organic traffic. Plus, there is no need to consult with any type of independent financial advisors because it is so simple to do and does not require any money investment.

Aside from optimizing your website with meta tags, titles, descriptions and keywords, building back links through article marketing is a highly effective SEO method.

Article marketing is actually pretty simple but a bit time consuming. It is not for the marketers who are looking to make a quick sale. It is for the marketers who understand the importance of building a long term stream of traffic and income.

You simply write 250 to 500 word articles that are relevant to the products and services you are promoting. You want to optimize your articles with long tailed keywords that have at least 1000 monthly searches and no more than 50,000 other competitors. The Google Keyword Tool is great for finding out this information.

Once you have your long tailed keywords, you want to include it in the title of your article, the first paragraph and sprinkle within the body. Place a link back to your website in the resource box and submit your articles to high ranking article directories. This is all there is to it. The more articles you write and submit, the more quality back links you will get pointing back to your website. You cannot write just a couple articles and expect success with this method. You have to write hundreds of articles to find success with this method, but once the work is done you will be reaping in the rewards for years.
