How To Generate 1,000 Visitors To Any Site Within 74 hours With Article Marketing

Brought to you by: http://successfulplr.com- By Alex Mensah

Article MarketingOne of the oldest yet still more effective techniques in driving targeted prospects to sites and converting

them into buyers is information-based marketing. This is why article writing, submissions and

publications are at an all-time high.

There are many tools that you can use to make the process of distributing

your articles easier. However, although this is invaluable in getting your article

exposed to more sites, there are common mistakes that some people make before submitting their articles

to directories.

Let us take a look at the more common mistakes made in 3 key areas:

1) Confusing the reason to promote articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, the main benefits of you promoting them is branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of

your optimization efforts.

However, there is one reason why you write articles, and that is to inform your audience about a subject. It is

greatly important that your article is based upon this fact, or else you stand to fail in the promotional

benefits as outlined above.

Of course, it is also highly important that you figure out how to get people to read you article,

and then to click on your site link in the resource box. I have produced

a couple of articles that cover these areas so please check them out :-).

2) Failing to realize and maximize the promotional opportunities of

article marketing.

You will more than likely already know that your article can generate links back to your site

from the article directories themselves, and also from any sites who publish your article

from these directories. However, did you know that you can attract more visitors and better search engine results from the same article?

The first step to achieving this is to provide relevant keywords at

strategic places in the article. However, do not overdo this. A good benchmark is to aim for

between a ten to fifteen percent keyword density.

I won't go further into this here as I've discussed this in other

articles but if you would like to find out more, look out for more of my article marketing articles.

You shouldn't just aim for your article to be accepted by article

directories, but should ultimately aim for it to be used by

publishers who scour the directories for website content.

You should not underestimate the potential that this can have on

your promotional efforts, as many of these publishers may have

hundreds or thousands of regular visitors who could then view your

article.

Start out by having a plan of what you want achieved and make sure that you reach your targets. It is important to do this so that you can reap the maximum benefits of every article that you write.

3) Creating articles with content that does not help your readers.

Maybe your only plan is to create an article and get links back from article directories, and that any visitor that

you may get from this is fine.

Well you may need to think again. Many article

directoriesclamp down on the amount of articles that they

accept that are simply not up to standard.

And even if a poorly written, uninformative article does make it into the article sites, then the potential of being picked up by

webmasters seeking quality content is certainly lost.

The benefits of one publisher with a hundred thousand

website visitors picking up your article should be enough

incentive for you to write an informative article..

This is by no means impossible, and you may find that this value is conservative in what you may

achieve from a number of publishers running your article

on their site

Researching into a topic that is sought after is important. There may be many

readers of this article who will feel that this information is all well and

good but feel that they cannot write an article well, or may not know

enough about a certain subject to write an article.

This is by no means a dead-end. There are many places where

you can research into a topic, or hiring a writer might be an option worth considering.

The choice really is yours on how dedicated you are in increasing

the exposure of your article, and consequently your website.

On a basic level you can choose to gain a few backlinks from article

directories, or with a little more effort you can enjoy massive exposure from providing quality content. You can use

Instant Article Submitter or Article Marketing Robot to submit

your articles.

This concludes part 1. In part 2 I give you a personal list of 50 of the top most popular article directories to submit to

and a secret tip that if not used will actually cut down your article

marketing effectiveness by 50%.
