Article Marketing

March 4, 2011 · Posted in Internet marketing · 2 Comments

Submitting articles to the article directories is a commonly used tactic for boosting traffic. It has been effective since the conception of Internet marketing and is still an effective traffic generation technique even in our Web 2.0 times.

There are often questions over the best tactic of submitting articles for maximum traffic and effectiveness. Which are the most effective methods?

The primary approach is to submit your article to the granddaddy of all article directories, EzineArticles. This site has a well earned reputation of being the best in the world. It has won over marketers and Google for this very reason.

A lot marketers find themselves getting annoyed due to the very strict submission guidelines and long timescales for approval.

If you read the submission rules and adhere to them, then it isn’t a problem.

Once your articles are in EzineArticles you instantly receive benefits from it. Articles in this directory usually rank well in Google, even without any backlinks pointing to them.

Throw in a few backlinks and your articles will rank well for keywords. In fact, even without backlinks they can repeatedly rank well just because they are on Ezinearticles.

After your article has been published you can do some straightforward backlinking to it to give it a boost up the search engines.

Initially, take your EzineArticle author RSS feed and submit it to RSS directories. You can do it manually or purchase a tool to do it for you. Just choose the top ten directories in Google for now if you are doing it manually. You can always submit to other directories later on.

You can also use one of the many ping sites to ping your article. This gives EzineArticles itself a boost as well as getting your article noticed.

Finally, social bookmark your article. This too can be done either manually or with a tool. If your article is newsworthy and well written then you can look at adding it to sites such as Digg or Stumbleupon to get additional links and traffic.

Of course, there are numerous article directories on the Internet, but none of them rank as well as EzineArticles. Google Knoll is doing very well with gathering favor from marketers. So far though, these don’t appear to be ranking as well as Ezinearticles, but it is a excellent manner to get the Big G to take note of your web sites.

For the other article directories it isn’t worth submitting articles by hand to them, except maybe the top half a dozen best known directories. Many of the rest get minimal traffic it is not worthwhile, except for the backlink. Therefore you should outsource or automate these submissions.

If you are marketing with articles then you need to make sure they are on Ezinearticles for maximum traffic. With a bit of backlinking to your article and you will easily find your articles ranking well for their keywords and bringing you good traffic.

An Affiliate Network That Pays Instant Paypal Commission On Every Product

April 21, 2010 · Posted in Online Earnings · 1 Comment

If you sell digital products online you are no doubt aware of the two most popular affiliate networks, ClickBank and PayDotCom.

While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It’s called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal.

Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.

I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of ‘instant commissions’ played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.

I’ve actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission. And I’ve seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree, it sounds like a winner to me.

I’ve just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out at the link below and let me know what you think:
