Article Marketing Strategiescreating Article marketing strategies can help you to get more traffic to your website. Article marketing is the process of writing short articles and posting them on various websites. Having links on other websites can help your website get indexed by the search engines. Search engines are in the business of finding the best search results for the people using them. They send out 'spiders' to crawl your website and see what content is on your website. They look for great content and keywords. They also look for how popular your website is - meaning how many other websites are linked to your site. The more links you have the better so creating an extensive article marketing strategy to get other websites to link to you can help do just that. There are many free article directories where you can submit your articles. Here is a list of the most popular: Check out a few of them. I recommend that you start with the top three listed as they are the most popular. Sign up for your free account. Be sure to read the rules and guidelines for submitting your articles to each website. They have many writers guides and info available. You will be able to place links in the articles but you will have to know how many and where you can place them to get your articles accepted. Many search engines like these article directories and are showing the articles in the searches for your main keywords. To write a good article, you will need to use the same strategy you do for creating website pages. Start with what keywords you want to get found for and write an article with the keywords in the title of the article and then use the keyword throughout the page. You will have to also know how much the keywords can be repeated with each different article directory. Then write a short article on it. I shoot for about 500 words. You will have to know how many are required for each article directory. Just write a very short article. Use the exact keyword somewhere in the article or in your article summary box or wherever they will allow you to add your links. The article marketing strategy I use is to find a page on my website that I want to get found by the search engines like this exact page for example. I will go to ezinearticles.com and write a short article calling it Article marketing strategies and then use that exact term in the article. If you create enough backlinks to your site using the actual keyword in greatly increases the chances of getting your page found for that keyword.
