The Power of Article Marketing

Since I've joined the forum I have seen many posts about how wonderful article marketing is, but I would just like to share one of my personal experiences with it in hopes that it helps someone out.

I started a website at the end of last year. It is a niche health site with a couple different affiliate products on it. In order to jump start some traffic I decided to write articles 1-2 per day for about a month. This wasn't all that hard since I already knew about the niche and with a little extra research I could write an article in about 10-15 minutes.

After that month I did maintenance article marketing by posting maybe 1-2 articles per week. The site now brings me about $200-$300 per month and growing. The site even had a 70 dollar day last week. Some of the traffic coming in now is organic search engine traffic but still, I would say 90% is article traffic.

Here is a screen shot from some January articles from EZA:


It is pretty awesome to think that for the top article I spent 15 minutes of my time and already have 600 clicks and counting. Of course one of the articles only has 7 clicks too - but the average overall here is about 121 clicks per article and counting.

Article marketing does work!

Here is basically what I did:
I posted my website using wordpress. I spent one day doing keyword research using the free google Adwords tool. I searched for low competition and sometimes long tail keywords. I made a list and wrote my articles around one keyword at a time. I mentioned my keyword in the title and sometimes just once in the body. I usually try to have the keyword 2 or 3 times in the body though.

And that is basically it! I've recently expanded to try and take on a couple similar niches and my income is growing. I just wanted to prove that it doesn't have to be complicated. I mean it might help taking an article marketing course or doing research but if you just take the time to write you will see results!
