Need help with article marketing again...

2 replies
Ok, i'm just really new to article marketing and IM, last time i posted a thread asking how to link back to my site or squeeze page, i got answers such as leaving signature links, but i'm just thinking that not many people will click the signature link(i personally never do it), so i just want to ask if there is any other way to link back to your site that is allowed in article directories, like for example:' to read more, please visit my site', can you only post half of your article and do that? Thanks for helping

    Hi Grace,

    You shouldn't be trying to get potential customer traffic coming to your site from an article directory.

    This isn't what article directories are for, at all. We all lose most of that traffic, and there are easy ways of keeping it all instead of losing it all. All explained in some detail in your last thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html

    "You are not your market". What matters is whether people who want to read more, finding your article on relevant niche sites where it's been republished (not people looking in article directories! Customers don't look in article directories and we don't want them to, either!) will click on the link to "find more of the same".

    "To read more, please visit my site" is exactly the right concept (if not wording) to be conveying in a resource-box link following an article.

    Whether you can do that depends on the terms of service of the directory and exactly what they're willing to publish.

    In a sense, it's slightly "academic" because for the most part there's barely any purpose at all in using any article directory other than Ezine Articles, and very little indeed (if anything) to gain by submitting your article to multiple article directories.

    But there are, in any case, ways of achieving what you want to achieve by doing that without necessarily doing it in the form of "half an article" (which EZA typically won't accept if it's set out like that): you can present it as a complete article and still offer "more of the same" in your resource-box link.

    It's essential, before submitting an article to anyone else's site (this includes "article directories") to be familiar with their terms of service and policies.

    This thread will really help you, I think: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

    Hi Grace,
    Alexa has given a great response above.

    I would like to add, that it's always worth measuring who's clicking on what. This way, instead of "wondering" if people are clicking on your links - you know

    Always use trackable links, that you can measure.

    You can do this with Google Analytics, and the Google URL Tool
