Article Marketing: Source of Free Traffic with Juicy Returns!

Guest Post by Collins Roy

Article Marketing is by far one of the best ways of making income online,

getting ideas of what kind of topics to write on and then proceeding to writing the article shouldn’t take lots of time, there are lots of topics regarding making money online, whether it be SEO, blogging, affiliate marketing and a hundreds of other different topics, not preparing articles and submitting them to the appropriate directories makes you lose the huge advantage this medium offers.

I know lots of people who get articles prepared but at the end of the day, they don’t actually submit these articles, being an article writer myself, I have made lots of discoveries with people who write articles, I found out that people don’t actually know how to submit articles, it may seem a little confusing but it’s the truth.

There a whole of article directories out there and they all have guidelines that everyone has to follow. I’d advice that for every article directory you go to, read the rules that govern article submission before actually proceeding with submitting the article, that way you have a high chance of getting the article directory to accept the article.

By submitting to a whole lot of directories, you would finally get used to submission of articles, there are chances that your article might get rejected, in those kind of scenarios, go again and review the particular article directory’s guidelines, see if you missed out something, correct any discovered error and then re-submit. I always advice people, your articles should be between 400-600 words and the content should be one that captures the reader’s attention and contain valuable information, be it a product review or website review articles, make the article content be so intriguing, so as to make the reader look for more related articles on that subject, maybe from the writer of the article itself, I have had people emailing me about tips on certain articles topics I have written.

Also, article title and keywords, for the article title, don’t be so “boring”, there are lots of articles out there, the question is why should anyone click on yours? The article title is what differentiates you from the rest of the others, whatever you title you use for your article has to contain text that would make the user click on your article when given like 10 different article options.

Keywords are what individuals’ type when they looking for an article for a topic, your articles should have these keywords and also some article directories have a certain area where you could type in the keywords related to the article, make sure these keywords are relevant to the article.

An article summary is also necessary, it describes what the articles is about in just a few sentences and also the author’s resource box, information about you would be put in there, usually and also generally I always tell people not to over hype themselves in the resource box area, just put a simple summary about yourself and that is that!!!!. Your resource box should have your name and website link.

For internet and affiliate marketers, one of the best ways of promoting your products is through article marketing, it is a free source of traffic and it gives you backlinks to your site. Take advantage of article marketing now!!!!!

Don’t forget that need to connect with your audience, letting them know that you are an expert regarding affiliate marketing programs which you are advertising for. Be careful not to directly and obviously sell the products to them, as they will instantly loose interest in the article and you.

Online marketers are always looking for new information and content. Most of the time, they are looking for ways to deal with problems. Basically, with your article you are supplying a need, offering them the information they are searching for. Once, the “connection” established, they will most likely click on the link to your affiliate website, to have access to more information.

These back links will rapidly increase, as you are writing and submitting further articles. Properly used, article marketing is one of the greatest and effective marketing methods to advertise for free your affiliate programs.

As I mentioned before, the submitted articles will provide you a back link to your site. Search engines in general consider these back links to your site highly important in ranking the importance of your site on the Internet. So, the more links are pointing to your website, the higher the search engine ranking is. With a higher ranking, your site is better positioned in the search engine’s search results.

I am sure that you could write virtually almost countless number of articles about and related to your affiliate program. However, if you run out of ideas, or need inspiration for a new article, there are numerous PLR articles you can turn to.

Make Money Online with Affiliate Programs: Getting Started Guide

Affiliates make money by referring customers to their merchants. There are many companies and webmasters offer affiliate programs to promote their online sales.

When you sign up for an affiliate program, you will be given an affiliate link with an unique affiliate ID which will be used to market the product. When someone makes a purchase through your affiliate link, you make money (earn affiliate commission). Below are the steps to starting an affiliate marketing business:

Step 1 - Join an Affiliate Program
Clickbank.com is one of the best places to find an affiliate program that interests you as there are a ton of sellers looking for people to promote their e-books and info products. Before you join any affiliate programs, do a little research. Find out which products are most popular, the conversion rate of the products and visit the sellers’ websites to see whether their sales letters are convinced enough to generate sales. A conversion rate of 5% is reasonably good. This means that for every 100 visitors to the website, 5 visitors will buy.

Step 2 – Promote an affiliate program through a website
You need to have a website to promote your affiliate programs. Creating a website isn’t difficult nowadays. You can use an easy website builder to create a website with little or no technical knowledge. To learn more about how to set up a site with website builder, you can go to Google and enter the search term 'website builder' to find a site builder that is right for you.

Step 3 – Decide the Content on Your Website
As you are promoting e-books, you can write a review on each e-book with an affiliate link to the sales website of each e-book. If you do not wish to write reviews, you can create a product recommendation list on your website (e.g., ‘Top 5 SEO e-books,’ ‘Top 3 MP3 music download,’ etc.).

Step 4 – Drive Targeted traffic/visitors to Your Website
To earn affiliate commission you need to drive targeted traffic to your website. The more traffic your website gets, the more likely you’ll generate more sales. There are several ways to drive targeted traffic to your site in short period of time (2 to 5 days). Here’s how……

Pay-per-click (PPC) Advertising
You can get a lot of targeted traffic using PPC advertising. The two most popular and effective PPC advertising programs are Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing. So how PPC advertising program works? PPC advertising programs allow you to bid for top rankings on the keywords of your choice. When someone enters a search term matches your keyword in the PPC search engine and press the search button, your contextual ad will appear on the sidebar of the search result page. If the visitor clicks through your ad to your website, you’ll be charged base on your bid amount.

Article Marketing
Writing an article related to your affiliate products with a link to your website in the article’s resource box and submitting it to many article directories can bring some free targeted traffic to your site. To get more and continuous targeted traffic, you need to write more articles. Try to publish a new article every week. Doing this for a year can drive truckload of free traffic to your website.

Post Messages on Forums
Another way to get free traffic is by posting messages on community forums with a link to your site on the signature of each message posted by you. Here’s a technique I learned from an affiliate marketer.

1) Run a search on Google to find out forums and message boards that are related to your affiliate products and try to join as many forums as you can.

2) Make sure that each one of your forums profile is edited to include your website link within the signature option.

3) Spend a few hours navigating the pages of the forums. You can ask questions and post informative and helpful replies to other peoples’ questions or messages to build your status. The more people trust you, the more likely they will click your link.
