Article Marketing Guides

Article marketing is one of the most powerful tools today for getting exposure and backlinks for your website or affiliate program. Articles are typically relatively short at around 500 words and then usually have the author bio at the bottom. Articles are a great way to get free exposure and backlinks as you write articles that include links back to your site or mailing list that you state cannot be printed without your links in an unmodified form. By writing articles you can quickly gain exposure as an expert in your field as more articles by you are published and name recognition begins to set in. When you submit a high quality article to a free article directory it will be given a backlink by the directory itself as well as allowing hundreds of publishers access to your articles which will then be reprinted all over the web. I've written articles that have led to thousands of backlinks before which can easily equate into big money if it causes your website to rank highly for competitive keywords. Since some of the articles will be flagged for duplicate content a handful of them won't give that great of a PR (pagerank) boost but they can all easily turn into targeted traffic for your site. Since this is becoming a more popular form of marketing online you will need tools to get a leg up on the competition, I use a combination of iSnare and various article submission software in order to distribute my articles.

When I first started article marketing I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I was writing articles and submitting a single article to a single directory. I hadn't considered the fact that I could simply submit it it to thousands of places and therefore increase the scope of my article marketing empire greatly. I used a few different guides some of which worked great and some of which were horrible. My personal favorite is Secret Article Profits, followed by a close second with the Entrepreneur's Guide to Article Marketing. In order to actually get my articles seen by the masses I submit to both iSnare and use the Instant Article Submitter.

Secret Article Profits Review

"Secret Article Profits" by Dylan Loh is the best guide I've found for relative newcomers to the world of article marketing. He does a great job of going through a step by step guide to teach others how to replicate his success with selling affiliate products through article marketing. It sticks to the base of article marketing in teaching how to create high quality link bait that will make others want to publish your article on their website, therefore giving massive exposure to your site and affiliate products. His guide is targeted to just about anyone, even a person that barely passed high school English can learn how to write articles like a professional and gain expert state on multiple high ranking article directories. If you'd like to check it out click here, Secret Article Profits, I highly recommend reading this guide before you start your article marketing campaign.

Entrepreneur's Guide to Article Marketing Review

"Entrepreneur's Guide to Article Marketing" is actually written by the founders of articlesbase.com which is considered to be one of the top 5 most important directories to submit to. As the creators of their massive directory network they are very well known industry giants. I was amazed when I first found out that they had written an article marketing guide and I bought it within a week of it coming out. Simon and Eyal wrote a very comprehensive easy to understand guide that is 10 chapters long. As with many proud guide owners, they dared to post their entire table of contents for the public to view on their homepage so that anyone that knows article marketing can see that their guide is the real deal. It also comes with a few bonus features that can be quite useful to beginners, personally I don't really need to use them. This guide is a must read, and luckily it will only be distributed for a limited period of time because if too many secrets get out then the article directories will be overloaded by new article marketers that had otherwise seen an impenetrable market.

Instant Article Submitter

The Instant Article Submitter is a piece of brilliantly coded software that comes with a piece of bonus software that is great for those looking to make money with absolutely minimal effort. The bonus software by itself it well worth the price tag of this software as it can create its' own articles along with the "speed article writing guide". I have used both of these as well as the software itself with great results. First time you use the software you will set up your profiles using the semi-automated registration process for the article directories you want to submit to. Once you have registered you can begin using the software to automatically send out your articles along with any applicable information. Using this software you can get flooded with backlinks and traffic, especially over time as these articles will continuously get picked up and redistributed. For a fully automated solution that you can use free forever once you've purchased it, check out the Instant Article Submitter.

iSnare Article Submission and Article Distribution Service

iSnare is the best article distribution service that I've found yet. It started as a simple article directory website that quickly grew into one of the msot important directories to have your articles featured in. As a result they now not only stock their own directory but the directories of thousands of other article directories. In my experience an average article that is distributed through their service will be redistributed 1300 times within 10 days, so it leads to absolutely massive amounts of backlinks in a short period of time (and these figures are only for those indexed by Google and Yahoo within 10 days). My single largest source of traffic to my various affiliate programs, websites, and blogs is through articles that I have had distributed through iSnare. The price is right too, I typically buy the article distribution credits 48 at a time which works out to $1.02 per article that I submit. At those prices I honestly don't even need to link to an affiliate program to make money, just revenue from AdSense alone will very easily cover my expenses.

***I cannot stress this enough, in order to be successful with article marketing you need to get the word out to as many different sources as possible each time you write an article and the best way to do this is with iSnare and the Instant Article Submitter.
