Is This a Good *Article Marketing* Plan?

17 replies
Hello Everybody, I was wondering if you guys can honestly tell me what you think of this *potential* plan I have:

"1. Write *One* Article for my *own* website/blog, but "SPIN" (I'm good at doing this) it at least *3* times over for other sites. After that, submit it to the TOP article directories and create *backlinks* for EACH article (including my own personal site). Make sure that *each* directory gets a different "spun" version of the *original* article that is on my *main* site...

The reason *why* I should write an article and then "spin" it is so that I can possibly rank for *2-3* TOP positions in Google, and this method also helps to *avoid* the so-called "duplicate content" penalty. Also, the reason *why* each of these directories needs a "different" article is because I can secure more spots on the *1st Page* of Google, and this also helps me to build more *backlinks* for my *main* keyword and site."

I don't know if it's *effective* (and effecient) enough, which is why I'd like to get the *opinion* of my fellow comrades on here...

If there's *anything* I can ADD (or change) to this plan, especially if it comes down to making the process more *efficient* ("mastery"), then let me know!

Thanks!

    Sounds good, but why would you target the same keyword? The point of this Article
    Marketing is also to build links so the original page will rank higher right?

    I would target slightly different keywords.

      That would be a good start, but here is what a more complete strategy would look like.

      1. Write article and post to blog.
      2. Rewrite article and submit to directories + repeat.
      3. Ping and RSS submit feeds to blog.
      4. Submit rss feeds of articles listed in directories.
      5. Turn each article into a video and submit to video sites.
      6. Create backlinks to your blog, videos, and articles to get multiple spots in search engines.
      7. bookmark these things also.
      8. Rinse and repeat with each article, version.

        Mr. Jones, that is definitely the *complete* plan/strategy of what I was thinking about! However, within those *8* things that you just mentioned, would I still be able to implement the little "plan" I had in the original post?

        Also Mr. Jones, in regards to #6-#7, wouldn't that be the same thing, in regards to:

        "bookmark these things also"? It sounds like #7 is a *repeat* of #6, but I'm not sure...

          Breakdance,

          Sure you can still use your plan. If I understood what you were saying correctly then numbers 1 and 2 cover your plan.( I used rewrite instead of spin.)

          The rest was intended to be addition to what you had posted.

          Bookmarking will give backlinks yes, but backlinking itself can be done in various ways. So yes it sort of is a repeat, but one very important one I wanted to make sure to make known.

      Mr. Ildarius, the reason why I would most likely *target* the same keyword is so that I can rank *several* times on Google's *1st* page, which would most likely make it harder for competition to compete with me, especially once I implement a *solid* backlinking strategy...

      Yes, doing this, in my opinion, would probably get the *original/main website* ranked higher in Google's index as well...

      But if I'm *wrong*, please correct me, my Fellow Warrior...

        Sounds, good, if you have the top 3 positions then you'll get close to 100% of the SEO traffic for that keyword.

          Yes Indeed, and *that* is the GOAL that us Warriors should be going after! *Instead* of just trying to get the *Number ONE* spot, we should be trying to get spots #1, #2, #3, LOL, so we can get ALL (or the "majority") of the traffic on Page ONE!

          Besides, since I'm *good* at "spinning" articles, it wouldn't take me long at re-writing *quality* articles that are just as good as the *original*...

          If you have anything else that can help me out, Mr. 'Darius, let me know!

    I think you somewhat got a start on it but you need to do some tweaking on your plan.. One thing you should do is make sure it is posted on your site first and after it is posted then build the backlinks "before posting to other directories"...

    There are several great plans here that are step by step and will help you even more... As I said though I think you do have a good grasp on the start of your plan..

      Mr. James, I definitely plan on putting the *original* ("un-spun") article on my main website/blog FIRST, then I will post those article spins (high quality...I'm good at "spinning" articles) on the article directories. After that, I will *backlink* EVERYTHING, so that I can achieve a *page one* ranking in Google...

      If I missed something, let me know James!

        Make sure you build the backlinks to your site that you posted the article on first .... DO NOT build any backlinks or post those articles to any article directory until you have it posted on your site and built the backlinks to your site first....

        Very important, many make a huge mistake of posting to article directories and then building backlinks to all those articles and never think once about building backlinks to their own site.

        You build backlinks to your site by bookmarking, posting on document upload sites, posting on web 2.0 sites, and etc ...

          Mr. James, can you explain to us just *why* building backlinks to our *main* site should be the FIRST "backlinking" thing done, and also explain the *importance* of it as well...?!

          Thanks!

            Simple... Because you want your site to be the authority for whatever it is you are pushing. You do not want to give your authority away to some glorified article directory that has a bunch of ad sense spam ads all over the place.

            This is why it is important to build links to your site first... Many make the mistake of just submitting to article directories because they have been conditioned to do so. When you do this you are giving away your authority with all of "your" quality content.

            There are very few and I do mean very few article directories that are 100% ad free, as long as you post all of your quality content on those glorified ad sense article directories you are helping them to make money with all those ads they have slapped all over your articles.

            If you post the articles on your site and build backlinks to your site first then not only are you keeping yourself as the authority but you are also positioning yourself with top listings in the search engines before any article directory gets to use your content.

            You would be wise to take full advantage of those article directories that are 100% ad free and do not toss google ads all over your content. These directories normally cost a fee but the low cost is well worth it when your articles are outranking others in the same niche.

            If you take advantage of ad free directories or not just remember to always post on your site and build backlinks to your site first before giving your content out to thousands of article directories.

    It is weird about the duplicate content issue. I cannot work it out.

    One of my articles, which has been distributed to various websites, occupies 16 of the first 20 spots on Google for its search term. ( And I also have the only google maps listing)

    The search term is - Paling Fence Quote Melbourne -
    Although half the results use a different section of the article in the summary.

    Exact same article word for word. Weird.
