First of all, your articles need to be found. You can submit your articles to hundreds of directories but that doesn't mean people will find your information. Article directories contain thousands of articles. No one will see your articles unless you understand these Internet marketing secrets.
Eight Internet Marketing Secrets
1. Gain the support of search engines by presenting your information clearly. Cute and clever sentences may work well in magazines or books but on the Internet subtle wit can backfire on you. Avoid words with double meanings. And use the most popular keywords. For example if you're writing an article on dating, you might discover that Internet users, are three times more likely to search for online dating, than they are to search for 'Internet dating'. Since the meaning is the same, why not use the keyword online dating more often in your article?
2. The title is the most important part of your article. It should immediately arouse curiosity and interest. Write several of headlines. Then sit back and read each one quickly. Pretend you're an Internet publisher who is sifting through 100's of articles looking for a few of them to reprint. Which title immediately grabs your attention? Your headline is the first thing people see. Make sure it's high impact. Ideally your headline should attract the attention of search engines and Internet surfers alike. If possible put one or more popular keywords in the title of your article.
3. After your headline, the next most important part of your article is the introduction or description. This is not the place to talk about your years of experience or where you went to college. The purpose of the description is to build on the excitement your headline creates. Write it in such a way that people can't wait to read the rest of your article.
4. Use every word efficiently and make sure your message is 100% clear. What I always do is write a rough draft. Then I go over the article and eliminate sentences that aren't necessary or that don't add value. When I see sentences that are unclear or worded in an awkward way, I change them. I may have to carefully read each article several times until it finally conveys my message clearly in as few words as possible.
5. Always remember that you're writing for real people and not search engines. Don't use high ranking keywords unless it's natural to use them your articles. Tons of people will find your articles if you use popular keywords, but if your articles are obviously written for search engines, publishers are unlikely to reprint them on their web sites.
6. Keep your sentences and paragraphs as short as possible. Readers on the Internet are in a hurry. They tend to skim over information instead of reading every word. Subtitles, bullets, lists, highlights, and other formatting tools can also be used to make the most important parts of your article stand out.
7. Don't make your articles sound like an advertisement. If you want to be published on high traffic web sites, you must provide high quality, unique, and valuable information. You must give away information that is extremely helpful. Write articles that are factual and unbiased, rather than promoting yourself.
At the end of your article, you should state your name, company, a brief but highly interesting sentence about what you do, and your contact information. When people starting recognizing you as an expert in your field, you won't need to brag or boast about your accomplishments or what you sell. People will find you. A very brief paragraph at the bottom of each article is all you need.
8. Lastly, make a commitment to write one or two high quality articles per week. Some people write one article and giving up because it didn't work - Or they write too many articles all at once and then giving up because it didn't work right away. Writing articles is a 'fast' way to gain recognition, but it's not instant! It still takes time, but the process is a whole lot faster than it was years ago before we had the Internet. People need to see your name over and over again in order for you to gain 'expert status'. Also if a publisher reprints one of your articles, he or she is likely to reprint more articles written by you. That's why writing new articles consistently, week after week will increase traffic to your website exponentially over time.
By incorporating these principles in your articles, you will be far ahead of writers who don't know what drives traffic on the Internet. Working smarter instead of working harder, will help you reach your financial goals quicker and with less effort. Finally, you will profit from the increased traffic your website receives.
No matter what your marketing plan is, it's either going to take time or money or both to generate tons of traffic. Writing informational articles can be an effective tool to promote your site. If you're a good writer, you can market yourself for free. If not, hire someone to write the articles and put your name them.
