Submit Articles Here There and Everywhere - Boom! Top Of The
Search Engines.
While it is true that submitting articles can create massive
amounts of traffic to your site there are a few key things to be
considered. Unless of course your a lone ranger marketing in a
niche without any competition, if so, this article is not for
you. Simply a few backlinks with choice keywords aimed at your
niche without any competitors pages and your flying high on page
one of the top 3 search engines. Actually, now that I think
about it while proofing this article - if that is you, please
contact me as I'd like to know which niche your in. (:--)
Well that's a nice thought for a perfect world where everyone
get's their own niche and every page of your site fills the
first 3 pages of a Google search, but for the rest of us in
larger markets the competition can be very fierce. I'm not sure
about you but I think many people blindly submit articles to
article directories and ezine publishers without consideration
for the keywords their targeting using their anchor text in
their resource box or throughout the article. Most of us by now
know that backlinks built up to our sites, steadily and
progressively over time will cause us to rise, rise, rise in the
serp's (search engine results pages).
There are SEO forums filled to overflowing on proper choice of
keywords. I've not spent much time studying all the latest tips
and tricks but while learning online marketing over this past
year I've certainly picked up alot of knowledge of what works
and what doesn't on the net.
Okay, enough of an intro - if your targeting a large market like
say - "internet marketing" for example - just know that
according to Google your up against 278 million pages that are
also targeting this keyword. While a quick search in Overtures
database reveals over 302 thousand searches in January of 2006
alone - this may be a market to be in some would quickly assume
- well, maybe if your willing to wait a long time or have a
100,000 dollars in your bank account to captivate nearly every
form of online promotion along with an expensive article
submission service.
Of course with a little keyword research you could weed out
about 98% of that competition. Let's dive right in and see
what's possible.
I'm going to use my favorite keyword research tool, which I'm
very enthusiastic about btw, email me if you need the best free
one available, I'm going to look and see if I can find an easier
keyword even in this large market. Hold tight, I'll be right
back.
Okay, I'm back, why not target your articles and sites around
the keyword of "idea making money" , it's regularily searched,
over 8,000 times in January of 2006 but only has 9540 competing
pages. In fact, I'm quite impressed by this keyword and I just
might target it myself unless you beat me too it. Anyway, by
targeting your articles, web pages and backlink anchor text
keywords to this lesser competitive term you'll drastically
shorten the time it takes to get to page 1 of the top 3 engines.
Although the payout in the end won't be as large due to less
traffic you will be handsomely rewarded if you do this 10 or 15
times over on different keywords, to do this just add more pages
to your site - you'll need lot's anyway! By using keywords that
have a realistic page 1-3 serp reach, you could see page one
within only days or weeks rather than months or years. I also
have a really impressive and fast site builder too if your in
need. Again, email me if interested so I don't have to advertise
an affiliate program in this article, which is another no no I
hear. (:--)
In closing, some other quick tips not to forget - use your
keyword once in the title of your article if it sounds realistic
and not stupid! My suggested keyword above will need some
creativity to flow well in sentences. Add your keyword a couple
times throughout a 5-700 word article and once in your resource
box should easily be enough. Just don't over do it and since the
engines are more and more shooting for quality non-duplicated
content your going to have to be submitting articles that are in
english for long term reliability(:--).
Also, regarding the web page your targeting, use your keyword(s)
once in the page title, once in your page headers, in at least
one of the alt tags of your pictures and around 0.5 - 2 % of
your pages total words. I've found this makes a difference when
the spiders come crawling your pages.
All the best to you my fellow article submitters!
