Article Marketing For Backlinks

Article Marketing for Backlinks is one of the most effective long-term strategies for building a home business online. Not only is it completely free, but it is residual, which means that you can put content on the Web one time and it could literally stay up there for years, bringing in massive amounts of traffic. That being said, when I first tried this marketing tactic, I studied many trainings on it, spent hours writing content and posting it on hundreds of article sites, and tried at least half a dozen article submitter programs and services, and still could not get any results. I thought it was a complete waste of time, and gave up on it, until I discovered the little-known secrets to success with this tactic, that I am going to share with you right here for free.

What is Article Marketing for Backlinks? It is a method of creating an informative article on a topic that people are already looking for in the search engines, and using it to draw traffic to your website and raise it higher in the search engine rankings, in order to get more leads or more sales for your business. There are three main components to this technique: keyword research, posting your article in the right place, and creating massive amounts of back-links to the article. I will now explain each of these in more detail.

If you use Article Marketing for Backlinks to write an article on a topic that you are familiar with, but nobody is searching for that topic, you will be wasting your time. However, with all the hundreds of millions of people searching for information on the Internet, no matter what your topic is you will be able to find a hungry audience if you simply make one minor adjustment.

If your topic is “multilevel marketing lead generation,” for instance, you might find that nobody is searching for that particular keyword phrase. But maybe 100 people each day are searching for “MLM lead generation,” and maybe 300 people a day are searching for “network marketing lead generation.” You can utilize a keyword research tool to find out very quickly what phrase has the most traffic, and simply swap out the term you used in your article topic with the more popular one that is closest in meaning. The second keyword phase of Article Marketing for Backlinks is to ensure that your high-traffic keyword also has low competition, which means that there will not be millions of other sites that all have information about the same exact phrase. The trick is to seek a balance between high traffic and low competition. (see the resource section below for a list of the best keyword research tools).

The next step is putting your article on a high ranking website. Now before the new Google Panda algorithm came out in 2011, this used to mean posting your article on high page rank directories such as e-zine articles, Squidoo, Hubpages, and a dozen or so others. These are still great places to post, but now a WordPress blog will rank significantly higher than these social content directories. There is a lot that goes into an effective blog, and I will be providing training on this as well in a subsequent tutorial.

Step three of Article Marketing for Backlinks is where most people blow it. When I first began, I just tried to get my article on as many directories as possible, and after hundreds of submissions it did not work. Here is why. Virtually nobody reads the articles straight out of the directories, people look for topics on the search engines. Here is the biggest secret to Article Marketing for Backlinks. Use one article submission as your main post, and then submit variations of your article to hundreds of other article directories as a means of pointing links back to that one main article. The more links, the higher your one article will rise in the search engine results. You can get more traffic from one article that ranks high in the search engines due to having a lot of backlinks than from hundreds of articles on various directories that do not rank in the search engines.

To do Article Marketing for Backlinks right, you will need to use a quality article submitter program to spin the article coherently, so all the submissions do not look like duplicate content articles, otherwise the links will not be considered valid. And the biggest advantage of the submitter program is that it can submit all your article variations to hundreds of directories with one click. (see below for recommended article submitters).

Implement these three Article Marketing for Backlinks steps properly, and you will get your article on the first page of Google, and it will stay up there for years bringing in massive amounts of traffic.
