Article Marketing: Your Key To Starting An Internet Business

Do you have an idea rolling around in your head? Would you like to know how to start an internet business? It is actually very easy, and something you can work on today.

In the past few years, I have begun a number of businesses. I have even been able to help others get their businesses off the ground, and each time I get started, I always use article marketing. I do this because well-written articles will bring in high search engine rankings and in turn more traffic to my site. Let me show you why it works.

1.) Articles can be submitted to an authority site such as Ezine Articles.

Because this site requires original content, Google ranks these submissions higher than others. Often within a few weeks after I submit an article, I see it ranked high. My articles are usually 300 to 700 words with a resource box pointing directly to my website. The authority of these sites build my reputation as an expert on webinars.

2.) Articles can also generate direct traffic to your website.

Lots of people with blogs and websites pick up articles from these directories and post them. For example, pretend you have a website about dogs. Other people with related sites like puppies.com, dogs and more dogs.com, or a dog blog will come and get your article. They post it on their site with your resource box, and then when people read their blog, you get free advertising. Their readers click on the link to your site, and voila! You just got free and easy traffic.

3.) Articles can build up backward links.

A backward link is like a vote. Many times my pages and my interior pages show up in Google because lots of other people have posted my articles to their sites. For each one of these, I get a backward link, and as I start to amass backward links, I rank higher and higher in Google.

Getting on the first page of the search results for your keyword and staying there are two different things. There are lots of other people competing to be on the first two pages, and the competition is fierce. Article marketing can be the best tool to keep you on top.

How To Submit Articles - Secrets Of Internet Marketing Basics

Whether beginning an online business or making your current one more profitable, do you know internet marketing basics? You can have greater success if you will use a few key principles. Following a step-by-step course is one of the best ways to get started, and your best bet is to find a course that has proven results.

To begin with, you will want to submit your articles to a website called Ezine Articles. Because of the authority of this site, Google ranks articles here higher than others. It likes anything from Ezine because the site requires original articles which cannot be found in other directories. So be sure to submit to Ezine first. You can even create a template so that your process is easier.

Once your article is approved, you can use that same article to create a webpage. You can rewrite your article and post it to your business blog. This gets your article out to your list.

Next, take the second version of your article and submit it to other article directories. I use Articles Base and Article Snatch in addition to posting on Ezine. I have noticed that my articles on these three sites routinely get ranked high in Google.

When you post, rotate your article titles and resource boxes. When you rotate your resource boxes, you use different backward links to direct traffic to your domain. This can also increase your rank in Google.

Submitting articles is a popular and effective way to drive traffic to your site and also get backlinks. All it takes is some well-written articles, submitted to just the right directories. Why not begin today?
