Here's Why Your Article Marketing Isn't Working
By Victor Stephen
No doubts about it - article marketing is now one of the best ways to get targeted traffic to your website. Even big Search Engine gurus are now seeing the mega benefits inherent in article marketing.
Since people don't pay to read articles, this fact has made article marketing very wonderful way to get traffic online. Don't listen to those who think videos have taken over from articles on the Internet. This is far from the truth. Remember when people thought that with the advent of videos in the real world, newspapers and magazines would be forgotten. But today, several years after the advent of videos, newspapers and magazines are still increasing in popularity.
Yes, I concur absolutely that there are many people today who prefer watching videos to reading newspapers and magazines, but there are also MANY people who prefer reading newspapers and magazines, rather than watching videos. Same goes with videos and articles online. Lots of people still prefer reading interesting, educative and entertaining articles rather than watching online videos.
No matter what anyone says, you can use article marketing to make a lot of improvements in your online marketing efforts.
Below are 2 really awesome hints to help you benefit the most when submitting articles to the hundreds of article directories.
It's a mistake to submit to only few directories:
I know many out there insist that there are just few very good article directories out there that receive lots of visitors on a daily basis, but it's worth submitting your articles to hundreds of the others as well. This is mainly because there's a lot you can gain when you have lots of your links all over the Internet; and this is what you will gain from submitting your articles.
Yes, I know that the quality of the backlinks you get matters, but so does the quantity. More over, since in most cases your articles will be published in the related categories in the article directories, the backlinks will be quality backlinks, regardless of whether the article directory receives lots of live visitors or not. What's most pertinent is for the particular article directory to be indexed in the major search engines, such as Yahoo and Google..
Don't make your articles too long:
Many people don't like to stay too long on one page reading an article, no matter how interesting that article is. This is the Internet we are talking about here where there are millions of other pages and articles to read. Tell me why anyone should spend more time than necessary on just one article, especially on the Internet? It's advisable to keep your article between 500 to 700 words. Regardless of how wonderful your article is, 1,000 words will be just too many words for most people to read.
Don't forget that your target is for the reader to read to the end of your article to find and visit your website from your resource box. If you succeed in making the reader bored because of the length of your article, you would have lost him or her because they would just click the "close" button and be gone. When this happens, you would have only ended up wasting your time writing and submitting the article.
I know that the above tips may appear too simple, but there's a lot of power in them that can really push your article marketing to another level.
