article marketing, Just need some direction

Initially, I am writing articles to divert directly to my sales pages. Down the road I intend on building niche lists, but for now I have decided to direct link.

I am sortof following the bum method, I choose my niches and keywords as per their recomendations.

I have about 30 kws, per niche picked out that meet the bum criteria and I write all original content myself.

Now, here is the questions, as per sequence.

I write an original article based on one keyword phrase. I submit that article as is to ezine articles and........................................

Question 1: On ezine articles, can I "link" within the articles to another piece of content ( another ariticle) and does that provide benefit? Also, can you do anchor texting in the resource box?

Question 2: What is the next step? Should I have a blog for each niche? Is my intent to set up a juiced blog to get it ranked, or is this going to be a repository for my content? Should I hook up with blog networks if my intent is to promote the articles and the the blog posts and blog?

Question 3: What do I post on my blog? Do I submit the same aritcle or a summary and do I link the post to the article?

Qustion 4: When and What Do I submit to the other directories? Do, I stick to 3 to 5 big ones, or blast them out? Do I send out the same article, but after ezine has posted?

Question 5: If my goal is to rank for all these kws, should I be focusing my efforts on building links to each and every article? Are there any methods you would recommend?

Question 6. I have read a lot about article marketing, I have had private discussions with people like sean mize and I have enjoyed and benefited from the advice, but I always wonder is it better to have alot of content out there, or to concentrate on having less but high quality?


I am aware that many of these questions are probably already answered in the forum, but I was hoping someone or a few of the experts here at this wonderful resourse would help me put things together

    Hmm allot of questions there!!!!!!

    I like to submit my articles to many directories. I manually spin them a bit to make them somewhat unique. No sense submitting the articles to a thousand low ranking directories. Find the top 100 directories with high page ranking.

    Always read the terms and conditions these questions are answered there. For ezine, if I am correct still, no links in the article itself. You can put a max of 2 links in the author's box. One can be anchor text.

    You say you are linking to your sales page. Ezine doesn't not let you link to an affiliate sales page. You may need the blog to redirect traffic to your sales page.

    It would also be good to set up different blogs for different niches, if your niches DO NOT complement each other.

    I don't know about blog networks... I don't see how it could hurt. maybe just taking time.

    It's your content. I would post the full article to your blog and post shortened or a variation of the article to places like ezine. Can't tell you what to do with your copyrighted material, that's something you have to decide.

    Depends on whether you are using software/spinning, how well written your content is, etc. if you want people to read your stuff and like it, might want to take the time to write well and submit to a few. Your decision. If it's just for backlinks, you don't even need to ask this question.

    Focus on one KW and write a ton of articles to it. Do you have a system that you purchased and are following? If so use that. If not, you need to sit down and draw up a plan that makes sense to you. You may want to think about buying school if you haven't at this point.

    submit article to blog
    bookmark
    ping
    submit article to submission site
    bookmark
    ping
    keep bookmarking
    keep pinging
    May want to think about RSS feed sites and submitting RSS feeds of blogs, and article accounts from places like ezine.

    see answer to #4. What's better? Depends on what you will follow through on. Whatever work you are willing to do to, is what is better.

      Thanks, I guess, I was just confused a bit.

      I look at the niche
      I look at my kw list
      I write my articles
      I submit it to ezinearticles
      They were approved the next day

      I sat there the next day and thought, ok, now what and I really didn't have a good strategy in mind to get those articles to page 1.

      I simply sat down and churned out new articles to new kws and submitted them to ezine

      I appreciate the responses, like I said, I am just looking for a strategy, a, here is what I do when I write an ariticle............I

      Thanks again
