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? ;-))

Here's why folks do article marketing:
- Article Marketing builds links.

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?

Thanks for the ultimate guide - quick question do you rewrite your article for each submission?
Posted by: Sam | December 15, 2009 at 02:33 AM
Hi Sam,
If I am using posts on my blog as basis for an article, I will rewrite them before submitting as an article. It is best to keep the content on your own site unique.
Is that what you meant?
Or were you asking if when I submit to places, do I submit a different version of each article each time?
If that is your question, then the answer is that I don't do manual submissions--I use SubmitYOURArticle.com.
They have a cool tool that lets me create article variations and then they submit the variations I create to the different publishers.
So, if you have the opportunity to create article variations, then that is a good idea.
I hope that helps!
