Using Articles To Gain TOP Search Engine Ranking

My Secret Formula For Using Articles To Gain TOP Search Engine Ranking
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford

I use articles, videos, podcasts and press releases extensively in my marketing. I use them to build my lists, gain search engine ranking, and drive traffic to targeted pages where that traffic often converts directly into sales.

I've been using article marketing VERY effectively since 1996 and find it an excellent method for generating long-term traffic.

My biggest secret is probably that I begin my article writing by doing keyword research. I doubt that most article marketers do this. I have a target product, niche or website, and I focus on what keywords would bring traffic to them. You can do the same. Here's how.

First of all you want to target the right keywords. It does no good to bring in traffic that is not buyers, so you want to ask what terms buyers are typing into the search engines. Make a list. The list should include "long tail" 3-5 word phrases.

Next use the Google's External Keyword Tool at:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
to research your keywords.

Enter the keywords that you brainstormed into the form at the url above, one keyword phrase per line. The software will suggest other popular keywords and also show you search volume. It will show you not only how many times a given term is search on per month, but also how much competition you have for that term.

Download the results of that search as a spreadsheet in "csv for Excel" to analyze data easier. The link to do that is at the bottom of your search results page. This will let you sort the data based upon a number of criteria.

Outline a dozen articles based upon your keyword research. This can initially be just a rough outline containing a few main points. You will flesh it out later creating articles ranging from 500 - 1200 words.

Write the articles, one at a time, not stressing over them. Write a little, and then if your creativity is waning, take a break. I can often write 4-6 articles before needing a break.

Since the articles are all on a related topic, it's ok to repeat the same thoughts or concepts in multiple articles. Most of your readers won't read all of your articles and those who read the same thoughts in more than one article will
only have those concepts reinforced.

Use your target keywords in your titles. You know that these keywords are appropriate, and are being searched on, so put them in your titles, where they will attract the most attention.

Your title is the most important part of any article, because it's what entices your reader to stop and read the rest of the article. If it doesn't grab their attention, the rest of the article will never be seen.

Use target keywords in the body of your articles several times.

Use target keywords in anchor text of links when posting to your blogs, webpages, or article directories that allow using anchor text in articles. Not all directories allow this.

Submit to the top article directories using Easy Push Button Traffic. This will save you from having to manually visit each of the top article directories for each article. Instead,you upload the article to the Easy Push Button Traffic server,
and then select which directories you want to automatically submit to. This works beautifully for me.

Consider turning some of these articles into podcasts or videos. Also submit that re-purposed content, using Easy Push Button Traffic, to dozens of different video and podcast sharing sites.

Watch your target site or project quickly rise in rank in the search engines, and watch your sales take off.

After you've cranked out as much content as you can based upon a given set of keywords, go back to the Google External Keyword Tool and do it with another set of keywords.

This simply formula works like magic. Since most of your competitors write articles without ever considering keywords, you'll run circles around them. Use the simple formula that I just outlined above. There is absolutely no need to complicate
the keyword research. This simple, easy system works ;-)

How Not to Use Twitter for Affiliate Marketing

Article by Nathan Hangen

I need to get something out of the way...I am a Twitter fanatic. In fact, it would come as no surprise to me if my wife was spending every minute she has in order to learn how to become a hacker so that she could take it down and have her husband back (I'm really not that bad, but you get the idea).

So considering that fact that I spend a lot of my time learning how to master the art of Twitter marketing and that I've even created my own Twitter products, what I am about to say might be a little too close to the bone - even for me.

However, the truth is the truth and we can't hide from it: 99% of the affiliate marketers on Twitter have zero idea how to market correctly.

Furthermore, many of those that don't get it are teaching new users how not to get it too, leading to a cycle of spam, crappy auto-DM's, and accounts that get suspended or marked as spam before they have even had a chance to flourish.

If you want to sell an affiliate product on Twitter, you cannot expect to be able to do it in 140 characters, and yet, that's what many marketers try to do. Their Twitter streams are filled with blatant sales pitches, so much so that you start to wonder if there is a real person behind the curtain.

Look, if I don't know who you are, I don't know where you are linking to, and I don't see anything but pitches in your Twitter stream, then I am not going to click through. If I do, if you get lucky, you will see me hit the back button before the page even finishes loading.

You cannot take over someone's DM's (Direct Messages) and have them send out spam on your behalf. Aside from the fact that it is extremely annoying, it takes advantage of people that don't know any better. You are actually hurting your customer in the process. Hit-and-run business tactics are shameful and will not help you in the long run.

Creating a product that only teaches people how to make money on Twitter by promoting your "make money on Twitter" product is, well, just sad. Sure, you might make a few bucks, but what does that get you? Again, it is this type of short term thinking that turns Twitter into a madhouse and creates an environment where marketers are no longer trusted. At that point, you've ruined it for all of us.

Perhaps the most blatant offender is the reply spammer, which is relatively new to the scene. These people reply to popular Twitter users with an affiliate link, and try to trick people into clicking. These reply spammers also try to trick the popular person's followers, because at first glance, it looks like the Tweet is coming from them. Considering most of these tweets look identical, I simply click the block button and move on. Get blocked often enough and you'll be suspended.

So Why Are They Doing It?

Most affiliate marketers on Twitter are doing this because they are too lazy to learn how to effectively sell affiliate products. You shouldn't try to sell someone in a PPC ad; you bring them to your sales page so that your sales letter can do the selling. It's the same with Twitter. To do this, though, you've got to be relevant, which means that not everything you say can be a sales pitch. When it is, though, it has to address the needs of your list. Sending out blanket replies just doesn't work.

Sadly, many people buy systems that tell them that these methods work. To make matters worse, many of them use viral friend adders that help them get recognition and more marketers promoting their products. Eventually, regardless of how faulty the system is, it spreads like wildfire. Everyone gets caught, no one wins.

They aren't interested in helping people. The last category is comprised of marketers that use the same tactics in other venues. They use software to generate new accounts by the dozens, so they don't care if they get suspended. They aren't interested in helping people - they simply want to make an easy buck.

So How Do You Sell on Twitter?
I've written about this extensively because it is a matter that I am extremely passionate about. I am tired of shady marketers ruining it for everyone and more importantly, I'm tired of seeing new people get taken advantage of.

So here's the truth:If you want to sell on Twitter, you have to build relationships and create targeted lists based on interests. Once you learn how to build these networks (which really is easy to do), you can link to relevant affiliate offers without having to worry about getting unfollowed or blocked. The key is to let the content, not a Tweet, do the selling. If everything you say on Twitter is a pitch of some sort, it won't work. However, if you learn to be relevant and helpful, your random pitch will not only be noticed, but will be appreciated.

People love to buy...we love to consume great content. However, we have to be warmed up before we do it. On social networks, it's the relationships that sell, not the message. It's really up to you, though. You can spam people and make a quick buck (maybe), or you can build credibility and build a successful business. In my opinion, taking the latter route is much more efficient.

You Are Never Too Old For Online Marketing

This world is full of excuses, especially in the online marketing world. I've heard so many silly excuses about why people can't become successful online, that I could write a novel. In fact, just yesterday I had an older woman tell me she couldn't succeed online because she was "too old".

No matter what had caused this woman to draw her conclusions, I can tell you that there is in fact no age limit for Internet marketers. Why would there be? All that is required to be successful online is to acquire the proper knowledge and mix it with some hard work. Yet, I must admit this isn't the first email I have received on this very subject. Emails about age being a roadblock to success are all too common in my inbox.

This is an overwhelming amount of proof that age can't prevent you from becoming successful. This isn't a guess, but a fact. I know of a 12 year old kid who created a 6 figure online business, in only 3 short years. On the other side of the coin, there is a 67 year old who created the most popular and profitable dating site online. I also just met two teenagers who created one of the busiest social sites on the Web almost three years ago. Believe it or not, they will just be starting college this Fall.

These successful marketers could of easily used their age as a ready-made excuse for failure. They could have quit or worse, never even tried at all. Instead, they didn't let their age become a roadblock to their dreams.

When you hear that voice inside your head telling you that you are just too old to start marketing online, remember that it is just fear talking. It is likely that it is fear causing you to use your age as an easy out. Others have overcome those feelings and you have the power to do the same.

I recommend you Download this hypnosis MP3 to overcome your fear of success

Now if a friend or loved one tells you that "someone your age" shouldn't try online marketing, be sure to ask them why. I guarantee his or her reasons will ring hollow, because almost anyone can do this business. Your age, sex, and the color of your skin will not determine how successful you are. You will. Period.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and get started today!

Keyword Research That Works

On the internet, keywords are terms or words that relate to particular topics. Keyword research will involve various aspects, such as finding sales oriented keywords or driving maximum qualified users to increase their online sales.

Keyword research is the first step towards a successful search engine optimization campaign. You have to be very careful when selecting keywords,as it can be very tricky to select targeted keywords for a website.

The selection of keywords should always be based on various aspects such as product names, services, brands, or general terms. Often times, people forget about targeting geographical terms when they have global presence.

When doing keyword research, it's highly recommended to do a very thorough market research analysis to find the best keywords used by search engines to find products and services online - and find out what keywords are targeted by competitors who are
doing well in marketing on the internet.

The first step in finding the best keywords is to make a list of the products, topics and services that you offer. You can also make good use of your website logs to know which keywords have brought you the traffic in the past.

Be sure to select keywords that clearly define your business and products to drive traffic from the search engines. There are some websites which get high levels of traffic through general keywords although they might not end up being sales.

Today, users of search engines are aware of how they work, for searching products and services on the net. Users always look for the better products, locations, etc. Therefore, you should cover all terms for each - products, locations, etc.

There are numerous tools available which will help you identify keywords that are suitable for search engines. The challenge here is to determine which keyword is the best to generate traffic.

My Online Income System $150-$250 a Day

There are a lot of systems out there claiming to give you reasonable or amazing income online. You may have already bought several and run up your credit card doing so.

If you really want to make money on the internet from your home, you have to hear this story. It is always good to hear success stories.

I never thought I would come accross a struggling single mother who went from waitressing, living paycheck to paycheck to now earning $500+ daily online!

The crazy part is...

Kimberley Hoffman developed her own My Online Income System and is now sharing it with only 100 more people. I had to beg her to let me tell you about this program because she was about to close it down to new members this week!

You can read the full story here:

After digging deeper into this system and talking with quite a few of the members of her program, people are doing VERY WELL with her course...

By VERY WELL I mean making an additional $150-$250 a day while at work or sitting around the house. That's real money earned by real, average people, not the supergurus with heavy bank accounts to pay for product development, top level copywriting etc. Ordinary people, who just want to earn some money from home for whatever reason.

The system is laid out in a 60-Day no-fail action plan that tells you exactly what to do each and every day! This is perfect for work from home moms.

There is no other course out there like it. Usually these programs will give you a boring ebook that only leaves you confused but this course literally holds your hand and forces you to succeed.

I have to warn you though, there will only be 100 copies of this course sold and as of right now this number could be smaller. All I can I guess, is if you can still get to the website you may have a chance...

Go now to 60-Day no-fail action plan.

Don't send me an comment later that you couldn't get in because you didn't take
action. This is one of those things that you just need to take advantage of
right away or be left out. It's up to you.
