Simple Article Marketing Strategies

Article marketing is the act of distributing your content across other websites. These articles contain one or more links to your own website and the hope is to generate traffic and backlinks in order to improve search engine rankings.

But so many people think that all you need to do is submit to a couple of article directories. Whilst this in itself can bring excellent results, the true potential is lost. You should aim to distribute your articles across many other websites as well, not just directories.

Which Other Sites To Submit Articles To

Consider taking your articles and rewriting them to publish at:

- Similar websites and blogs: contact the owner and ask if you can post a guest article in exchange for a link back to your site.

- Free web 2.0 properties like Squidoo, Weebly, LiveJournal and more.

- Top article directories

- Use your articles in autoresponder emails. This gets you a lot of mileage out of your content.

- Rewrite the article and post it on your own website.

- Create a Facebook page and post articles there.

You can also promote your articles in variety of ways. Although they are not located on your own site, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t promote them as you can take advantage of the already favourable position some of these websites have in search engines.

You can twitter about your newly published article. You can send an email to your list letting them know you have just released this new information. You can even print out the article and send it to interested local businesses.

There are certainly no shortage of ways to undertake simple article marketing strategies that can have a massive effect on your traffic and sales: you just have to use your imagination.
