Companies looking for the cheapest service may turn to an outsourced company that mass produces ten-cent articles with randomly injected keywords. They seem to forget that their target consumers, unlike search engines, are not simply looking for those words. They want readable, relevant content. See examples from an SEO consulting blog.

Any article writing worth paying for should come from a genuine source. If the writing produced is not something you would want to read, chances are potential buyers won’t want to read it either. The true art of SEO copywriting comes from taking those strategic, technical points and turning them into something completely organic.

Bringing viewers to a website is great, but that’s only half the battle. If you are thinking of utilizing an SEO firm to increase search results, do your research beforehand.

Visit curvedmarketing.com for a no-nonsense view of SEO. Ranking can only get you so far, and good, thorough copywriters have the ability to make the viewer stay a while once those carefully chosen keywords get them in the door.

Because these webmasters BELIEVE they know about seo and article marketing, they request this keyword density as if it is the most important thing.

Then writers that are new to the web and who want to please their customers do as they have been asked to do. After all the customer is paying for it. So give them what they want right?

Wrong. I may be a total pain in the #%$, but my clients know that when they request something and I don’t agree with it because I know it won’t help them, I speak up and let them know how they could benefit more by doing it a different way.

Being a yes-man is not what these clients need. They need someone who spends time to learn what does or does not work and who will advise them on the best approach to seo or article marketing.

Write the article for the reader first and SEO second. you will find that you will naturally include that key phrase where it is appropriate to do so. Read it over after you finish and see if there is a spot or two where you could have added the key phrase without the article being spammy to the reader.

It can be done. Our writers do it all the time for our clients. You can too.

Under link building and branding, article marketing comes into play. You can write articles or have them written for you by a ghostwriter. Once you have the article content, you can submit them to thousands of article directories.

Many people think article marketing stops there. It doesn’t. Article directories that accept and reprint your articles are not where your link popularity comes from.

These article directories provide free content to webmasters and bloggers for their website. When these people use your article, the links in your author bio section lead to your website. The websites or blogs they are reprinted on are ususlly going to be relevant to your website and the links from there are valuable in most cases.

That is where good link popularity comes from article marketing. This also means that your articles need to be something someone would want to post on their website. That means that all the garbage articles that contain bad grammar and are just stuffed with keywords have absolutely no value at all.

This especially applies to spinning articles. If you are using an article spinner for your article marketing, then you just don’t get it. The temporary benefits that you get now will bite you in the $%& later. That’s a promise, not a prediction.

You can go to a freelance website and find people who say they will write seo articles for you for $5, $3, and even $1.50 per article. They usually live someplace where a dollar goes a long way and they know nothing about article writing or article marketing whatsoever.

The articles they write for you are worth nothing. Whatever you paid for them is money thrown away. The links you get from article directories are not going to help you that much due to the content being so poor.

Article Directories are not there to give you link popularity. They are there to provide good quality free content to webmasters and bloggers who need reprint material.

Webmasters and Bloggers with high-quality sites are not going to reprint garbage articles on their website.

You have to pay more for quality content. That is the bottom line. Article Marketing, when done correctly can get you a lot of traffic and help you build link popularity. Done improperly, it’s a waste of your time and money.

One well-written, informative article can bring you more traffic and link popularity than 100 garbage articles.

In addition to the benefits of having a professional write the articles for you is that the content might get picked up by websites with a high Google page rank and websites with a lot of targeted traffic.

People will read a good article all the way to the bottom where your links are and click on those links. They will stop reading a garbage article before they even see your links at the bottom.

Think of your own reading habits. Do you finish an article that is poorly written or one that bores you to tears? Of course not and neither will your potential customers.

And article marketing can help you with branding your name or your company name. People want to deal with people they perceive as an expert in their field.

By having quality articles with your byline and company name in them that can be found through searches for your name helps build your reputation as an expert.

Hiring a professional ghostwriter is the key to getting quality articles that will bring you more traffic, help build your brand, and help you build link popularity.

Writing an informative article about something that is related to your website content, service, or product, then mass submitting it to article directories or free content websites.

Because of the links in your author bio section or footer of the article, every article directory you submit to is linking back to you. While this creates a lot of one-way inbound links, you have to remember that those websites are not likely to be related to your product, service or website content.

In addition to that, those article directories also link to thousands of websites. Even on the page where your article appears in their site, it’s likely that many other links accompany your links on the same page, further diminishing the value of those links.

It is worth the effort. Those inbound links will definitely not hurt you and will help some, but the goal of submitting your article to all of those article directories is so that other Webmasters and Bloggers can find your articles.

Whenever a webmaster or Blogger uses your article in a website or Blog that is related to your content, product or service, then you are accomplishing a lot. Those are valuable one-way inbound links and will carry weight with search engines like Google.

Writing exclusive articles for high-traffic websites.

This is another way you can use article marketing to enhance your search engine rankings and link popularity as well as get traffic directly from those who read your article.

For this, you really need to polish your writing style. You need to write an informative article that is grammatically correct first of all. It needs to be 500 – 700 words.

You need to provide references for your facts and acknowledged quotes to support your theories or opinions. It will also help you illustrate that the information is correct. These types of articles require more research because they need to be accurate.

Once you have your article written, offer it as an exclusive article to just one high-traffic website where their topic is related to your content, products, or services.

This article will be seen by many if it is accepted and you will see a direct result in the amount of traffic you get from just one article submitted to just one website.

Another way to use article marketing effectively is to write the article as you would an exclusive article as mentioned above for another website and putting it into your own website.

Once you have the article written and posted into your website, take the link directly to the article page and start posting in forums and commenting on blogs that are related to the topic of your article. Use the link to that article page in your sig. line or as a reference if you find people discussing exactly what your article explains.

By using the article to help others, you will find they will want to see what else you have at your website. By linking it in your sig. line, you also increase link popularity for that page and for your website.

Make sure that the rest of your website is linked from the page you put the article into and it can even help your website get crawled by the search engine spiders.

Create a Google Knol Page with your article. Google Knol Pages can be extremely effective if you build a few links to the Knol Page after you build it.

Use your article in a Squidoo Lens. This will require a much longer article, a lot of reference links, images and more, but they tend to rank very well if done correctly.

There are a lot of ways to use the articles you write or have written for you. Be creative and you can use the article in more than just one of the ways I have mentioned in this post.

I hope this article helps you!

Website Content

The most important thing you will ever do for your website is to put in good content. Great content will get you links and your position in the search engine results will be because of the content you put into your website.

Hundreds of back links will not get you ranked well with poor content. Great content will get you good keyword positioning with or without back links, therefore, content is still the most important aspect of your website. Great design, flash, graphics, and a cool banner will not get you ranked well for your keywords and phrases. Great content will!

Let’s first look at your website content. Images are great with alt tags. That helps. But it is the text on the pages that, when done correctly, will help your search engine results. This text is also what will convert your customers into sales.

This text is what your customers will read or not read based on it’s quality. This same text is what the search engines will analyze when they decide how relevant your WebPages are to the search phrase you wish them to send you visitors from.

Article Content

Now, let us talk about article marketing.  If you know about article marketing at all, you know you will be submitting articles all over the web. The links in the author bio at the bottom return visitors to your website if they read and like the articles, you write or have written for you.

Just having your articles in thousands of article directories is not the goal of article marketing, although there are article-marketing gurus out there who think it is. The goal is for webmasters to find those articles and place them in their blogs and websites. If they use your article, their website or blog is likely related to the same topic as your website.

You are looking for these quality links. The links for just being in the article directories do not hurt you, but they do not help nearly as much as those from related websites do.

Your other hope is that thousands of people read your articles. Do you really want people to read poorly written articles and associate that poor quality with your website? Well-written articles get people to read them all the way to the bottom where your links are located. Well-written articles reflect well on your website and your reputation.

If the articles are of great quality then likely your products and services must be great as well. The reverse is also true in the reader’s minds. If the articles are written poorly, then likely your products and services are of little or no value as well. It is not only about the number of keywords and phrases placed into the article folks.

With all of that being said, I still find all over the web, especially at freelancer websites, people going in and saying things like; “I need 400 articles written for SEO and I’m willing to pay $1.50 per article.” Or they say something like; “I need someone to write content for my website and I’m only willing to pay $10 per page.”

I really try to refrain from telling people they are, well . . . stupid, but I am finding it harder and harder each day when I read this stuff.

They will spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have their website designed so it looks really pretty, but the text, the stuff that will actually get good search engine results and sales, they go after cheap content.

Writers that know how to write text that not only is appealing to the reader, but that is also written with the keywords and phrases in mind, are worth being paid well. The moment you start hiring better writers and paying for text that converts sales, you will begin to be successful on the web. That cheap content is not going to make you any money.

A website that is beautiful but gets no traffic and sales may as well be an ugly website. An ugly website that ranks well in the search engine and that makes sales gets more beautiful by the dollar.

There are advantages to writing Google Knol Pages. Here are some advantages I’ve discovered.

1. Google Knol Pages can help with branding your company name. Building a lot of Google Knol Pages with your company name in the title or subtitle can rank well for your company name in searches and provide useful information to visitors.

2. Google Knol Pages can help with Reputation Management. Much like branding, you can use Google Knol Pages to saturate the search engine with more results for your name, possibly burying bad PR.

3. The links from Google Knol Pages are supposed to be nofollow, but when checking backlinks in Google, I have seen links from a knol page being counted. It’s been rare, but it could help with link popularity in Google and other search engines.

4. Google Knol Pages can help you establish yourself as an expert in your field. Publishing your articles as Google Knol Pages is much more preferable than publishing to article directories.

What are some of the ways you have benefitted from Google Knol Pages?

Article Marketing should be part of both your SEO strategy and your Reputation Management strategy. It can also help you with Image Building and Branding.

SEO Article Marketing Benefits: Each time you write an article or have an article written for you and you submit that article to articles directories, you build link popularity. Webmasters and Bloggers seek good, original content about their topics and reprint your articles on their website or blog. The footer of each article contains links to your website, so each website or blog it is reprinted on is another link to your website from a related website.

Reputation Management Article Marketing Benefits: You need to actively manage your reputation online. The more things you put your name or your company name on, the more results there are for your name or your company name in the search engines. That means when someone types your name or company name into a search engine they will find a lot of results.

If a disgruntled employee, dissatisfied customer, or someone else writes something about you or your company, they are also producing search engine results for your name. If you have been actively creating content and linking to it with proper anchor text, it will be difficult for them to rank well for your name.

Article Marketing is one of the most cost effective ways to increase the number of results for your name or company name. Writing articles that have your name in the byline and your company name in the footer, in the article, or even in the title each month will increase the number of results for your name that you control.

Image Building Benefits of Article Marketing: If you want to create an image for yourself or your company, article marketing can help with that as well. You can establish yourself as a leading expert in your field by writing informative, helpful articles about your area of expertise. The more helpful you are, the more people will begin to see you as an expert they trust.

Branding Benefits of Article Marketing: Similar to Reputation Management, article marketing can help you with branding your name. Putting out a number of articles each month on topics related to your business helps associate your company name with those topics.

I recommend that everyone do some form of article marketing every month. Consistancy is the key. 10 articles per month, plus distribution, only costs you $270 per month and can help you with all of the things mentioned above. Visit Article Content Provider today!

Example: “I need high quality articles of 500 words or more each written with SEO in mind. I am willing to pay $1.50 per article.”

Some go on to say they want 2.5% keyword density while another will say 6% keyword density and others have other density requirements. The Bottom line is, that tells me they are the ones who are dense.

They read some EBook, or whatever, that told them what the proper percentage is for keyword density. No one can give you an exact percentage. Those that do give out advice on that and quote a specific percentage are almost as dense as the people who believe them.

You are not going to get high quality articles written for $1.50. I run an article writing service and my prices are on the low end of the scale at $30 per article. That is extremely cheap for well-written articles. Anything less than that price is likely to be keyword-stuffed drivel that is not worth the time to submit anywhere.

But many people who think they understand article marketing don’t really care about quality. They want a large number of articles with that perfect keyword density they read about.

Here are 10 things you need to understand about article marketing. Obviously, there is a ton of people out there doing what they believe is article marketing who do not have a clue.

1. Target your audience. If you target the American Market for your products and services, then having someone who does not understand how to sell products to Americans and who doesn’t write like an American write your article is just totally worthless.

2. Everything on the Internet is permanent. If you are hiring a ghostwriter then your name is going on these articles with links to your company website. When readers read the poorly written articles that are stuffed with keywords and look like a boob wrote them, they are going to think you are the boob that wrote them and your company’s image suffers.

3. Having articles written and submitting them to directories is not what article marketing is about. This is where most people’s understanding of article marketing stops. Article Directories are there to provide quality content to webmasters who want to use articles in their websites. The tradeoff of giving a link back to the owner of that article is the price they pay for the use of the content.

4. Article Directories are not there to increase your link popularity. Just submitting articles to article directories does increase your link popularity a little. However, these directories are not websites that are related to your topic. Websites that might use that article are likely related to your website’s topic. Therefore, unless the articles are good enough that people want to re-post them on related websites then you are missing the whole article marketing boat.

5. Long-term value. Buying a bunch of cheap articles and doing mass submissions will not give you the long-term value, which article marketing, can and will do if done properly. A well-written article submitted to just one website can give you more link popularity and direct traffic than 100 poorly written articles that are mass submitted.

6. High quality articles have a snowball effect that lasts for a very long time. As more and more websites use the article as content you will see your link popularity, grow. Each of them becomes a related website linking to you.

7. It takes time to see the real effects of good article marketing. The longer your article is out there, the more it is used by other webmasters and the more your link popularity grows. It happens a little at a time just like the search engines like for a websites link popularity to grow. Getting 1000 links to your website overnight can cause your website to rank lowers in the search engines rather than higher.

8. Direct Traffic. If the writer of your article does not know how to sell product or make a rational point that leads a reader to WANT to click the links in the footer, then again you are missing part of the value of article marketing and are wasting your money. Article marketing can drive traffic directly to your website if they are written properly.

I’m not talking about an article that just promotes your website or product. Webmasters will not use those and article directories will not accept them. However, if you wrote a guide to filing a patent and in the article advised they consult an attorney, then you have written an informative article that puts the idea in the reader’s head that they need a lawyer to file a patent. In addition, the links are right there in the footer to your legal services. How convenient!

9. If the person writing the article does not really understand SEO, then you are again missing a major part of article marketing. There is no set percentage that your keywords should appear. They should be mentioned where possible but not in a way that detracts from the quality of the article itself. Reader first, SEO second. Some writers really know how to do this and it is second nature to them to write this way. Webmasters who might want to use it as content do care that it contains the right keywords, but they will not use an article that is written poorly and that is an obvious attempt to spam the keywords into the page.

10. Good writers who understand sales, SEO, and know how to write well deserve to be paid well. If you want quality articles that you are not ashamed to put your name on, then you have to pay for it.

Some of you out there that might read this article really don’t care what they put their names on. In that case, this article is not written for you. Go and keep doing your thing out there. When you decide you really want to try to be successful come back and read this again. Bookmark it where you found it right now, read it in six months, and see if you understand it then.

For those of you who do want real quality and want to have all of the advantages that article marketing can give you and who do care what their name gets attached to, just remember that good writers need to be paid what they are worth. I hope this article has helped you understand what article marketing is really all about.
