Viral marketing is a methods of list building

There are multiple methods of list building, and if you are just getting started, until you have gained mastery over one or two methods, it is advisable to use multiple methods of list building strategies. You’ll see every step of the process, no matter how small, in exacting detail so

Article marketing is one of the most common Internet marketing techniques discussed. The "guru's" say "market your site by writing articles & distributing them for free and you'll see a dramatic increase in site traffic". Skeptics say "I've tried that and it doesn't work". Here is what I say:

The most common mistake I see in article marketing is a lack of focus. I see so many people trying to promote their sites by writing about things that are not related. To put it simply- that is not going to be effective.

If you have an online pet supply shop, you cannot write articles about home tanning salons and expect that to bring in traffic. Sure, you might pick up a few backlinks which could increase your ranking in Google, but I am sure you want more for your business.

Step 1 is to write about a subject that is related to your business.

Step 2 is to make sure it's well-written, informative, and not a rehash of another article (stay away from the article scraping software)

Step 3 is to not expect overnight results

Step 4 save yourself time by outsourcing the distribution of the article

I will be honest and say that article marketing does not work well for every business.

For example, when I write about marketing and writing I see a surge in my site traffic and I always get contacted by several potential clients. In fact, most of my clients have read an article that I have published somewhere.

However, I am involved in other endeavors and article marketing has not been beneficial at all. For one of my sites, I tried an aggressive article marketing campaign and I got a ton of backlinks in google but nothing else. I tried article marketing on another site of mine and it did absolutely nothing but fine-tune my writing skills.

In summary, does article marketing work? Yes but it all depends.

In this article I would like to go over some interesting things that I discovered from search engine optimization using article marketing.

For the purpose of this experiment I set up two web sites. One is a blog and another a lead capture page with a blog as well in a directory on the domain.

Now what has really been interesting is the following. The first few months my sites had virtually no rankings on Google. After about five months I started to notice search engine traffic from Google. A few months later there was a lot more traffic.

Analyzing the links pointing towards my web site I discovered the following. I had a lot of links pointing from the major article directories that have a very good page rank. Also as more web sites published my articles I got a lot of one way links to my web site.

Basically my web sites were beginning to rank well because of all the links that I was getting. Before I was doing article marketing I was submitting to directories. This can be very costly, but is a very quick way to get links. You just need to be sure that you only submit to a few directories a month because if you submit to many directories at once Google may discount the links.

I also use to do reciprocal linking. This use to work before. Unfortunately with the changes in the Google algorithm this is no longer effective because Google is trying to combat spam.

The valuable lesson that I learnt from article marketing is that you only need to write a lot of articles and submit them to the major article directories to get good search engine rankings.

Are you really interested in driving massive traffic to your website?

Three Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills.With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is

Details have been given about all the various SEO techniques such as writing good original keyword specific press releases, articles, forum posts and blog posts, but we still need to get to the real core meaning of what search engine optimisation is and what it can do for business and how it can affect your business if you do not know anything about it. So let us discuss what it is and also what it is not.

What is SEO? SEO is an art. This means that you need to think at all times of all different kinds of keywords and keyword phrases to satisfy the needs of the search engine spiders. You need to think like a search engine spider. You need to learn how to do this in order to get your websites listed on the first page of the Google search engine. As an example, let us assume that you are promoting a website about leads. The term leads is a billion dollar industry.

If you do intensive research you will find the same result. Companies or people that are on the first page of the Google search engine for the keyword term 'leads' are in it for the money. There is no doubt about that. The company holding the number one position has been holding the 'leads' top spot ranking for a long time. If you start an SEO campaign promoting your 'leads' website and eventually also get listed on the first page of Google, the effort of consistently posting content, titles and original content about the keyword 'leads' will land you in the 'leads' search category of around two hundred million search results.

How do you get the search term 'leads' to the first page of Google? It is not a great secret. It is not a mystery. It is an art to get it here. You will have to work at this art to perfect it as much as possible and to be successful using it. This is not something that will just pop up automatically without you putting effort into it to make sure that it works.
