The Ultimate Guide To Article Marketing
It's a free course in Article Marketing over at Squidoo, and it's chocked full of expert advice on everything from writing your first article, to finding publishers, to submitting articles, to...oh, you get the idea--this resource just has everything you could think of if you've ever wanted to drive traffic to your site for free using article marketing.
This skyrocketing Squidoo lens that I'm sharing with you is from article marketing mastermind, Steve Shaw, who also happens to be a client of mine. We just launched this Squidoo lens a couple days ago, and already it's in the Top 20 in the HowTo category and in the Top 100 out of all the half a million lenses on Squidoo!
That is AMAZING, and just shows you how much great info is in this resource and how much folks are eating it up like candy ( and why wouldn't they? ;-))
I have used article marketing to drive traffic to my sites and client's sites for a few years now, and it really does work--we're talking long lasting results. Aside from blogging, article marketing is my favorite way to market my business and my sites.
Here's why folks do article marketing:
- Article Marketing builds links.
- Article Marketing gets the word out about your website, bringing widespread exposure and an increase in targeted traffic.
- Article Marketing can help establish you as an expert in your niche and build customer confidence.
So, if you or any of your clients want to give Article Marketing a go--go check this out!

I think article marketing is one of the best form of marketing out there. I have one site that I have not promoted in 3 years, and it gets good traffic from all the articles I wrote when I first started promoting it.

Article marketing is definitely one the best ways to promote your site for free. With a few well placed articles, I was able to get my site in the top ten ranking for the keyword phrase "Top Article Directories" in under two weeks. Anyone who doubts the power of article marketing should check out my site. The proof is in the pudding. Just Google "Top Article Directories" (with quotes) and look for www.articledirectoryguide.com in the listing. Plus I'm consistently getting top 3 placement for my adwords campaign. Not bad, huh?
