Get Backlinks From Article Marketing

A local business provides useful content to the newspaper free of charge, and in return the newspaper prints the business' contact information with the article. Because newspapers and other traditional media are expected to present content on limited budgets, this arrangement is generally advantageous for all parties involved.

For example, an accounting firm may market itself by writing an article entitled “The Top 10 Ways To Avoid Being Audited” and offering it to the local newspapers several weeks prior to the onset of the tax season. Similarly, a roofing company may offer radio stations a short and snappy article entitled “How to Avoid Damage to Your Roof This Winter” prior to the winter season.

With the rise of e-commerce and internet marketing, article marketing has become very popular in the online world as well.

As in traditional forms of media, online article marketing has served the dual role of providing publishers with what amounts to free content, and advertisers with similarly free advertising and the ability to get backlinks.

Websites where a writer can post an article is known as an article directory.

The primary reason an author can post an article without cost is that the directory owner places advertising on each article page and collects the revenue made from the ads. The article directory site gradually increases its own search engine popularity as more articles are posted, benefitting both the writer and the directory owner due to the increased traffic volumes and article page views and each having the ability to get backlinks.

Unlike the off-line version, there are additional dimensions to article marketing online. Most important among the differences is the use of articles for search engine optimization. Articles are written to target particular keyword niches, and distributed to content publishers that cater to those markets. Writers are able to target their niche audience with helpful content, sent to an already-interested group of readers.

Many online article marketers enjoy the low cost of this type of advertising and so have written hundreds and sometimes thousands of articles in order to get backlinks.

One online article writer that I know has written 14,000 articles. These productive article authors also enjoy abundant backlinks (i.e., links pointing back to the business' website). When the articles are distributed via RSS, the exposure to the authoring business and number of backlinks is increased greatly.

Article Marketing is a simple, effective way to get backlinks and bring very high quality visitors to your website. You can help establish yourself as an authority in the industry, and build trust with your audience through articles. You don't have to be an expert or professional writer to have an effective article campaign.

Once you write an article, there are many places to distribute your content online, so that you have the largest audience possible, reading your articles.

If you optimize your articles for specific keywords they appear in the search engines results when prospects search for your specific keyword.

Many article writers use automated submission services to distribute mass articles quickly. This is a low cost solution to get backlinks and increase webpage ranking and generate more traffic quickly.

If you want to increase website traffic, article marketing is an excellent way to generate traffic and get backlinks to increase your rankings.
