Articles For Backlinks – Using Articles For SEO Purposes
Written by enetwal on August 31, 2010 – 10:09 am -The primary goal of writing articles for SEO purposes is to generate as many backlinks as possible to your web site or blog post.
Creating articles for backlinks is a long term strategy that will generate traffic to your site from people who happen to read your articles and come to your site for more information. This traffic can be substantial, if your article is attractive enough to get a lot of people, or even just one person with a large following to reprint your article on their site.
More powerful in the long run is the value of the backlinks these reprints generate. Every article directory that carries your article will generate a backlink to you, and thus help raise your sites ranking on the search engines. That’s why some people use article submission services like Content Crooner to get their article posted on as many different article directories as possible.
Since many of these article directories have moderate to high page rank status, these are often valuable links.
The better the article itself, the more likely that it will then be reprinted on other blogs, ezines, etc. And that is where writing articles for SEO really pays off.
Whether you have posted in many or few article directories, your goal is to get as many of these other blogs and ezines to post your article as possible. To do so, you need to provide interesting topics for people to read. Seems simple, and yet a lot of articles people post online are BORING, or pointless.
People go to the internet most frequently to find information. And while you may be mostly interested in selling them something as part of your business, that’s not what your article should be about.
For example, if you are a building contractor that specializes in remodeling bathrooms, you would be better off writing about new trends in barrier free tubs and showers for the graying baby boomer population. An anecdote about Mrs. Brown who was having trouble getting into and out of the tub, will be interesting to thousands of Mrs. Browns and their children.
This potential interest by potential readers is the secret to getting other people to reprint your article. The editors and bloggers you want to reprint your articles are looking for material their readers will appreciate.
While your market may be local, the interest in your topic is more global, so you may get reprints from bloggers around the world. Their readers may be thousands of miles away from your market, but since you are writing articles for SEO purposes that doesn’t matter to you.
Your targeted web site is getting the backlinks you want, and they in turn will help you raise your standing in the search engines. Since you compete locally, you don’t need to have more backlinks than anyone else, you need to have more backlinks than your local competitors.
And in most fields, that is still relatively easy to do. Thus when a local Mrs. Brown starts searching for a barrier free shower or tub, the odds are better that your website will appear on the first page, where she may actually see it. And that’s when the payoff of creating articles for backlinks begins.

Article Marketing – A Backbone Strategy
Written by enetwal on June 25, 2009 – 1:49 pm -You want your web page to be ranked at the top of the search engines when your customer types in keywords relevant to your business.
While you can buy your way to the top using pay per click advertising, it’s more productive and quite feasible for you to move to the top of the various search engines if you apply the optimization tactics we’ve discussed over the past month.
Now some keywords will be harder than others, but if you are serving a local market, and use geographical keywords as I have suggested, it should be possible for most of you to get to the first page, if not the top listing.
The way to cement yourself into that top ranking is via back links, and while there are lots of ways to generate backlinks, the most powerful over the long haul is article marketing.
While you and I use the internet to market goods and services, most people use it to find information. And Google in particular caters to this need for information above your and my crass mercantile interests. Article marketing helps us turn that on its ear.
A good article not only provides critical back links that will help boost us in the search engine results, it brands us as a resource to those who look for information online. It conveys to us “expert” status and good will. This credibility will serve us well when we finally get the customers attention at a buying point.
Our first step is to cover a topic well in the form of multiple articles exploring all aspects of our product line. Then we post these to the article directories where they can be picked up by bloggers and ezine editors. While they are getting something free from us, when they republish our articles they are actually trolling for customers for us.
So while we advocate article marketing for the immense value we can derive from the back links it can generate, we also love the traffic it sends us. And not only do we get traffic, we get educated targeted traffic from prospective customers who already know that they want what we have.
That makes our sales job a breeze.
The value of article marketing is so great, that I have decided to start a new blog dedicated to the topic. It is called Article Marketing Hint. I hope you will take a moment to visit it and consider subscribing to the RSS Feed.
I already have a number of posts up, and have several more planned. I will of course discuss the topic here from time to time as well. The url is http://ArticleMarketingHint.com

Article Writing is the Key to Building Google Ranking
Written by enetwal on February 18, 2009 – 2:31 pm -If you are in a competitive field, and are unable to use my geographical long tail keyword approach to gain top ranking on Google, you need to bring out the big guns. And the best way to do that is with Article marketing.
There is an art to article marketing. You need to focus on your keywords in your article title and in the body of your article. But as important, you need to write a worthwhile article that a blog or ezine editor will want to share with their readership.
You also need to pay attention to your resource box. This is particularly important to you, for this is where your payoff rests.
Finally, you need to get your article launched on as many article directories as you can with a special effort to get it to targeted directories that serve your niche.
I have just acquired rights to a new eBook called Winning the Article Marketing Game. In addition to the eBook, I have acquired master resale rights, which means that not only can I sell you a copy of the eBook, I can transfer to you the rights to sell it yourself.
If you decide to buy it, you will not only get the download, but also a sales page you can use to market the book as well.
This is a great way to get good information that you can profit from and the ability to profit from reselling the book.
