Article Marketing For Bloggers - "6 Ways To Explode Your Business"

Writing articles is one of the best strategies you can use to promote your blog, or nearly any type of website for that matter. Leveraging the popularity of major article directories is an excellent alternative to paid advertising, especially if you are just starting out in the Internet Marketing world. That being said, here are the top six ways in which Article Marketing For Bloggers can be so beneficial.

1. Reach More People

By submitting your articles to article directories, you gain exposure not only to your ideas but also to your website. Simply include a link back to your blog in the bio-box. With this, you gain exposure and free advertising as well. Submit your articles to popular e-zines and take advantage of their popularity. Other sites who find your article relevant may also link back to you. Thus, you increase your link popularity, which is one of the most important strategies in the internet world. Remember that most people are looking for information online and by filling this need with your quality article; you may reap the benefit of more exposure and higher web traffic.

2. Free Advertising

Submitting your articles to directories allows you to advertise your blog without paying exorbitant fees. Although you should avoid marketing language in your articles and make it informative and useful to your readers, you can always include your site's link in the bio-box. In addition, by making your article relevant and helpful to your readers, you are making a good impression for your blog, which could ultimately lead to a visit and hopefully a loyal reader. Good quality content in an article is far better and more effective than a few lines of ad space.

3. Increase Link Popularity

Every time you submit an article to an article directory, you in turn create a back-link to your blog. Just don't forget to include a link in your bio-box. Not only that, but if other websites pick up and publish your articles, you automatically gain link partners. Try to get as many link partners as you can. Link popularity is one of the major factors used in determining search engine rankings. Make your article especially useful and appealing, so that still more websites may be encouraged to publish it.

4. Optimize Your Blog For Improved Search Engine Ranking

Create a new Blog Post for your article. Optimize your article to make
it search-engine friendly. Use top-ranked keywords that can give your
blog a high search engine ranking. As soon as you post your blog,
search engines will spider through it and you can gain an increase in
search engine ranking. The idea of posting articles to your blog may seem really obvious to you,
but the point I'm trying to make here is the more pages you have
indexed for your site and the more optimized your posts are, the better
chance you have of people finding you.

By making your blog "keyword rich", you can greatly improve the search engine ranking. Remember that keyword density is one of the most important factors that search engines use when determining the search engine ranking of asite. However, you should always provide relevant, useful and pertinent information. Avoid the temptation of overusing keywords just to gain a high ranking as this may turn off most web surfers. Relevance and quality are still the most important things to consider when writing articles, but it will be even more useful if you make these articles search-engine optimized.

5. Establish A Good Impression And Reputation

By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you are also creating a good impression on your prospects. Encourage more people to visit your blog and do business with you by establishing an impressive reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the field and your will ultimately gain more customers eager to do business with you.

6. Enhance Credibility Through Testimonials And References.

Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedback and testimonies when you publish them in e-zines and free article directories. Record any positive feedback and comments for use in promotional material if appropriate in any of your advertising efforts. Your credibility will be greatly enhanced by this feedback, as it will create a good impression on your prospects as well as your existing readers. In this highly competitive world, excellent credibility and trust may be the only things you need to attract new readers or make loyal subscribers out of your existing readers.

Using only original, relevant, useful and pertinent content is the most important guideline of all!
