Your best tip regarding Article Marketing

single best tip: lead and coax the reader along until they hit your resource box and are dying to click the link

A strong call to action. It doesn't matter if you have thousands of views a day if no one is clicking through or converting.

Adding to my last post, it's good to use a redirect for your article marketing ventures in specific niches in order to easily update the offer you are sending them to without editing every article.

Find out what emotional state they want to solve with the product(s) you're pushing, then write an article that hammers on that emotional button.

Extremely high quality content. Provide a solution and with your resource box have a solid call to action.

I am absolutely loving the tip about making the resource box a flowing continuation of the article. Having it integrated like that makes for a much more clickable box and I think the finished product appears slicker and more subliminal, less "look at me, I'm a link!"

This but with at least twice the monthly searches that he says.

The best tip is about how you finish the article (resource box). Do it right and you'll convert readers into visitors. The 2nd best tip is to focus more on getting your articles ranked at Google once you've posted them. That's article marketing on steroids.

Good keyword research is vital. You can have the best resource box in the world but without the right keywords you will go nowhere.

High quality tips articles that entice readers to go to your site and subscribe.

my single best tip will be use dragon voice recognition software. I suck at typing it evens out the playing field i can really pump out the articles.

Increase page views for the articles (either white or black hat). At a critical point, the article will be displayed in the most viewed section which will give backlinks from other related articles (in the same category) which in turn will boost your SEO!

Write original, unique and "AIDA" optimised articles (yeah.. it's different from keywords optimised)..

Don't write with the money in mind, write with the reader in mind.

Nice set of tips guys. Will help a total newbie like me.

Outsource article writing to tallented warriors in the 'Warriors for hire' section.

Submit to EZA and GA and build links to those articles.

Then spin those quality articles in required format and submit them to:

Free Traffic System
Unique Article Wizard

Definitely the resource box. Follow up your article with a strong call to action.

Create curiosity, imply a profit, suggest a benefit.

Sell the click, not the product you are trying to sell, let the sales page do that.

get as many sets of eyes on that sales page as possible, a strong resource box will do that.

Add valuable content to your articles, and also try to divide your articles in several tips or paragraphs.

For example How to Get a Date - 3, 5 or 7 Tips.

Then remeber to bold every headline, for example tip 1, 2 and 3.

This way you will also increase the chances for your readers to follow every tip of your article to the end of your article where you add the link to your website.

This simple method has sometimes given me over 50% clickthrough in the resource box.

Good Luck!

I agree with HC Lee - the first 10 words - your headline. If you dont grab readers attention, hold them and get them to read the next line then they just move on.

Not talking about hype here, but your headline needs to answer the very reason they are there in the first place - they have a problem, pain or need.

Your headline MUST call out and say - want to find the solution? Here it is...

Then once you have there attention....get on with the rest.

1. Take care on the articles that are already making sales. If you make 25 bucks a day on an article, promote it after it reach possition 1. This is a valuable asset in your personal finances. Keep it that way.

2. If you have an email list interrested in your article, send them to your article (this is for ezinearticle). The goal is to get it into the list of most popular articles to gain the massive backlinks.

3. Build backlinks to it. Not only will the backlinks increase the seo value and traffic to the article. It will also increase the seo value of your website (if you are linking to it).

Although the tips above are good I have not seen it posted after 34 post...

Write unique, quality, informative articles (500+ words) based on subjects that you have either researched "properly" (going to eza is not research) or that you already know about. This does not mean use junk PLR articles (only use PLR written by Bev ..lol) that you got for free from some stupid giveaway event.

James

P.S. There is enough junk content online, help clean it up by creating quality content from proper research and from using your own mind.

First I want to thank everyone else that posted to this topic. You gave me some new ideas. Thanks
I have found that the best results for articles I´ve written create a long-lasting resource for a new lead or sale.

For example, if you Google right now this:
powerful social media users you´ll see an article that I wrote months ago that´s still in the top 5 listings for that search. Search influencing powerful social media users ranks at #3 position the day of this posting. This isn´t to brag, it´s to show it can be done and...

This is how I did it for starters...5,6,and 7 were crutial in getting these results.

1. Be original.
2. Offer something of value and interest to your reader.
3. Build trust so the reader sees you as an expert on your topic.
4. Build curiousity so the reader feels compelled to click on your resource box link.
5. Select 2 or 3 keywords to include in the title and body of your article so the search engines can find you when people are searching. This makes your article easier to find when people are searching for that information.
6. Research the 5 main competitors. Google your keywords and see what comes up before writing your article so you know what the top listing look like as far as content.
7. Promote your article. Twitter it, Ping it, Digg it, Blog it etc. and add it to your autoresponder messages so people will read it and respond to it.

The results of this top ranking article has not allowed me to quit my day job, but it has created a steady flow of pre-qualified, pre-interested prospects and customers and helped me build a quality list while I´m out doing other things. And it keeps doing this day in and day out. All in all, the time writing it was well spent.
Hope this helps someone get the most out of their article writing efforts.

P.S.- I´m new to this forum (seems like one of the best I´ve found so far) and don´t want to add links to more info for fear of giving the wrong impression, but I have had moderate success marketing with articles and would be happy to share more with anyone that wants to know more. Just send me a private message and I´ll point you in the right direction without having to join anything, I promise.

I write every article like a sales letter. Create a hype, talk about the secret solution I have to the readers problem and offer tips and then in the resource box I have my picture. That increases the clicks on my link a ton.

Just few I learned from a WSO I bought. And it works. Ezine seems to love theese kinds of articles.

Set up Google Alert on a unique string of words from the article.

Set the alert up as a feed (automatically) putting it in your Google Reader

Then follow up with article sites that pick up your article and offer them a 1-1 exclusive.

ONE link in the resource box - It reduces link dilution and ensures a higher % chances of your link being clicked

These are all excellent tips. I have had better luck with higher quality articles as it seems to get better results.

My Best Tip: High quality articles and then outsource submission to somewhere like Traffic Bug to build back links to your site while you write more articles.

Cheers Greg

1) Find out the keyword which has an article on first page search result in Google.

2) Write articles using the same keyword, and submit to the same article directory, this can increase the chances of your article appearing on the first page of Google search results as well.
