Article marketing is one of the best ways to get more visitors for your website. In case you're not familiar with the term, article marketing is a technique where you write articles about topics related to your website and then submit them to one or more websites called article directories.
As you're likely aware, fresh new content on your website or blog is very helpful with getting higher search engine rankings. Many webmasters and bloggers who are looking for new content to add to their sites visit article directories to find it.
When you submit an article to a directory, you are allowing other website owners and bloggers permission to add your article to their site - for free. However, they need to include an 'about the author' box at the end of the article.
This resource box is basically an "about the author" section where you can include information about your website, as well as links back to it.
When someone posts your article on their site, they also post this about the author section and everyone who reads the article on their website sees it. Your article can ultimately end up on hundreds of websites, with thousands of visitors reading it and clicking the links through to your own site.
Finding article directories isn't difficult - all you really need to do is a Google search for "article directory". Some of the results will focus on specific markets, such as health or home & garden, while many will accept articles on almost any topic.
The topics you can choose to write about are limitless. What is the focus of your website? Be creative and think of why someone would want to visit your website and create an article about it. Someone who sells Tupperware for instance, could easily write about food related items or take it a step further an write an article about the fact that the plastic containers are great for organizing toys, bathroom items or even nuts and bolts in the garage.
If you're not a natural writer, don't let it bother you. There are plenty of places you can hire writers that will "ghostwrite" your articles for you. The cost will vary, depending on the quality of the writer, but you'll generally pay between $7 and $15 for a 500 word article. If you really want to be hands-off, you can even outsource the submission of the articles and just sit back and watch the visitors arrive on your website!
