Writing articles and article distribution combine to reneder article marketing one of the major ways these days of advertising your online business. You are not only guaranteed visitors but you also gain an improved Google Page Rank, although there many secrets of marketing articles that many are unaware of.
First, some simple questions answered. You get clicks to your website from the 'Author's Resource', which is a section of the article where you are permitted to write a bit about yourself and your website. Forget yourself, and write about your website and how it will help the reader. This is basic to article marketing.
When writing an article about how to lose weight, for example, you should also have a page on your website dealing with the same topic to which your resource is linked, and you should direct readers to that page from your resource with wording such as "For more information on how to lose weight the safe way, visit xxxxx . . ." or something similar."Mywebpage refers to the page on your website that relates to the topic of your article.
You can then use an article distribution service to distribute your article to a number of directories and ezines, or you can do it manually yourself. What this achieves for you is a link back to a page within your website (the most valuable type of backlink) from every article directory and ezine that publishes your article. Not only that, but anybody reading your article is likely to click on your link and visit your site if your article is well enough written to persuade them to do so. Add to that the likelihood of others copying your article to use as content on their own website and you have doubled this benefit without you doing anything more.
While you are asleep there will be people all round the world seeking the information that your article provides, and they are liable to find yours. Not only from the article directories and ezines used by your article distribution service, but also from Google itself. That is because your article can be listed on Google's search engine results pages for the keyword on which your article has been optimized.
In order to achieve all of these benefits, however, particularly a high Google listing, or a listing on any other search engine, your article must be written persuasively and correctly, and also be properly optimized for the search engines. The vast majority of people are unable to do this because they do not understand the secrets of writing articles persuasively, to meet the needs of the article directories and ezines, the needs of Google and more importantly, the needs of their readers.
Not only that, but they have to be written persuasively enough to keep readers on the page and to persuade them to click to visit your website. Once they reach your site you still have work to do, and must then persuade your traffic to make the call to action your web page is demanding of them. That is another skill, but if you learn how to write articles persuasively, then it doesn't take much more to write persuasive sales copy on your website.
The majority have no idea of what persuasive writing is, and in spite of them making an attempt they fail to make any impact with article marketing. Writing articles is an acquired skill that once learned can be used again and again to make you money through free advertising. Article submission to as many directories as possible is an extremely effective way, not only of getting higher search engine listings, but also of getting more website traffic, which is the whole objective of article marketing.
