Killer Article Marketing Tips To Know

I guess I just don't see it as "competing with yourself." If you have 2 spots in rankings, one from an article directory and one from your site, that's going to equal more traffic than if you only had one spot. If a site is ranking well for a KW, then you can work on getting it's rankings up, but this takes time. So until that happens, why not just ride along with EZA's top spot for the time being?

hyc2010, I'll spin articles, but not for the reason most do. When I'm promoting a niche, I'll have a list of hundreds of keywords to target, so let's say I'm targeting "texas divorce lawyers" as my primary term, I'd start with an article called "Texas Divorce Lawyers" and submit that article as-is to the half dozen article sites I use most.

Next, I'll spin the article for about 40% uniqueness, then replace "texas divorce lawyers" for one of my other terms, perhaps "family law attorney in texas", then I'll submit this article as-is to the same half dozen article sites...and so on.

Doing this, I get the most mileage out of articles that I think I can get.

I don't care about submitting the same article to multiple directories, though I know big G is likely to only show it once in the SERPs, I let the SE's decide which article site to show it from and don't worry about that.

It's sort of a "targeted shotgun blast" method. I throw the article up on 6 to 8 article sites looking for one of them to rank high in the SERPs.

As for your case where your page settled in the SERPs but your article kept dancing, this is another reason why I don't compete with myself by publishing the same article on my site that I publish with article directories.

Once my article site pieces are in the SERPs, I linkbuild for them just as I do my own site pages. I'm not content with my article being on page #1 of G for just a few days, I want it there for months, and I want it in one of the top 2 spots, just as I want my own pages in the top 2 spots.

By using the article site's authority, you can get those top spots for slightly harder keywords than you can with a new site of your own, so by keeping the terms and content of my own site separate from my articles I'm able to cast the wider net in my niches and chase the easy and mid-level competition terms at the same time.

OK. scb335, one article to 6 sites with one headline, then spin (40% uniqueness) to send another 6 sites with a different title. Do you submit them manually or use a software? What software, if ever? Not sure if you can do that with Article marketing robot (6 sites per batch)

So you always keep the unique articles on your own site. Do you know any writers who write high quality articles with competitive rates? I hired some who are terrible and always look for some good ones to hire.

What spinning software do you use? Everyone says the best spinner is the best. Do you use UAW?

What linkbuilding do you use mainly? Doesn't the article sites marketing
also build links? Or do you use other linkbuilding methods?

Articles are powerful and very effective for back links and to get people to your landing pages or blogs etc. If you can show them that you have a quality product by using great persuasive content they will have no problem going to you for what you are offering.

If you are not good at writing or just don't want to take the time there are plenty of people that you can find that will write great articles for you and they are cheap. It is like being in school again, except you can turn in work that someone else did! Great thread. Thx

hyc2010, I used to use submitting software, but they're all buggy at times and since I've narrowed down my list of article sites to use from dozens to just a handful now, I submit everything manually.

Yes, I keep the article content that I create for my own sites completely unique from the articles I publish on other sites. As I mentioned, I chase the lowest competition keywords with my own site pages, and chase medium competition keywords with article sites because you can piggy-back on their authority to rank for harder terms.

As you can probably tell from my posts, I can be long-winded, so I do most of my writing myself these days. Sometimes I'll hire someone from DP to write articles, the quality is hit-or-miss there, but I only use those articles for article sites and not my own pages so I don't care if it's mediocre, I'll just polish it up a bit and use it. For my own site pages, I write all my own.

For spinning, I have my own script that I created. It doesn't require me having to prep the article content first (none of that {word|word|word} crap) as it does it itself and then uses an online thesaurus to create word options from, all thru the Tor network. The output isn't always perfect, and like articles from DP writers usually requires a little polishing, but it's fast and effective.

I can't speak on other spinning programs, most I tried required the whole {word|word|word} prep crap, and to me that takes longer to do than just rewriting the article from scratch so it wasn't worth it. At least my own script does that for me, and the polishing afterwards only takes a few seconds.

As for linkbuilding, more articles, web 2.0 sites, social bookmarking, and ping every RSS feed you can grab. If I want to boost an article's SERPs position, I'll publish new articles on other sites that link to it (just as I do my own site's pages). I'll link to my sites and my articles from web 2.0 sites. I social bookmark everything. And all of these sites give me RSS feeds to ping. The article sites give author's RSS feeds, web 2.0 sites give RSS feeds, social bookmarking sites give user's RSS feeds...those are like candy to lure the SE bots to my site pages and articles.

Hope that helps.
