My New and Effective Article Marketing Strategy For Clickbank Products

I recently have started to change the way i article market. I used to just blast out a bunch of articles per niche at ezinearticles.com and hope for the best. While this system worked it just was not something I wanted to keep doing, mind you I was writing about 150-200 articles per niche myself to save money. Sales from this system were OK but sporadic at best. I was redirecting the traffic right to the sales page with little else.

I needed Something New

I was thinking of ways to get away from this method but kept drawing a blank, everything i read says blast out articles as fast as possible right!!

Well i strayed from the normal advice and it has been paying off nicely with a sale happening at least every day. As i write this I have made $69.17 On Clickbank so far today and am averaging around $50-$60 per day now. Not guru earnings but enough to change my life and improve the life of my family.

What Have I Been Doing to Bump Up My Sales

Well to start most of my sales are coming from only 10 articles, yes only 10 articles!!! Now on to what i am doing, although i won't reveal it all i will give you enough to get you going.

I started by finding an article directory that was showing up for Google searches in my niche and one that was low key enough to be able to bookmark at the popular social bookmarking sites!! Just search for some keywords and look, you may have to jump back a few pages to find the lesser known directories.

For keyword research i recommend and use digging for gold

Next i wrote 10 articles around some competitive keywords that got at least 5000-7000 searches per month. I also picked keywords that were people looking to get advice. For example instead of writing an article about weight loss i would write about losing the last 5 pounds or something like that!!

I also rewrote these articles and did submit them to ezinearticles.com as well as the lesser known directory that i found.

The articles were only 350-400 words and followed this format

1.state a problem
2.make the problem worse with an example
3. tell them one tip how to fix it
4. offer the solution in my resource box

I used the old article marketing tactics. bullet points, sub heading and two or three sentence paragraphs.

When The Article Were Done

I then bookmarked each article.This is where finding a low key directory is important. Most bookmarking sites have blacklisted ezinearticles but some lesser known directories can be bookmarked with no problems.

Next i used profile links at popular web 2.0 sites

For every site i signed up at i would do a full profile, upload a picture and then write my bio with two keyword anchor text links in my bio pointing to my articles at ezinearticles and the other directory i used. It worked like magic. In fact these links are responsible for me ranking for some very tough keywords!

What Are Profile Links


Profile links are links at popular sites like plaxo.com where you get a personal blog or profile page where you can leave a bio with an HTML anchor text link. Just make sure to write a good bio and not just plug in your link. Keep the links to about one or two per profile. Make sure to ping the profiles you create at www.pingoat.com

Profile Link Services I Use

PJ'S BackLinks

Angelas Backlinks

Next was the big booster that has worked like a charm.

I used two tools for this step.

The first is Magic Article Re writer and the second is Article Post Robot.

Magic Article Rewriter is a semi manual article spinner that is jammed full of features. What you do is enter alternate words in brackets and the program will generate article from those alternates.

for example you a sentence would look like this i need to {buy|purchase|get a hold of|grab|get} a new {car}automobile|ride|set of wheels} very soon.

There are so many features in this software thats it blows the other article re writers like power article re writer out of the water.

To see it in action check out this video

The developer of this software also offers an article submitter. It works OK but only submits to directories that use the articledashboard software so you are limited some what when compared to article post robot. But it does sign you up automatically which is a nice feature!

Once your whole article is set up like that you can either hit a spin button and make as many unique articles as you want or do what i did.

Once I Set The Article Up To Spin

I then take the whole article with the brackets in place and paste them into Article Post Robot the leading automatic article submitter that can submit to over 400 article directories and spin them as they are submitted.

I set the software up to submit to only directories with a minimum page rank of 3, that worked out to about 55 directories. What these two tools combined allowed me to do was to submit 55 unique articles that had spun article bodies,titles,resource boxes and article descriptions effectively submitting a unique article with a unique title,description and resource box to each directory..

At the end of each article i used an anchor link that was the keywords i wanted the articles to rank for. I pointed this anchor text link to my 10 articles at ezinearticles and the other 10 at the other directory i used for high rankings. In a short time of doing this my articles on both directories were climbing up the Google ladder and i have some that are on the first page of google out of 44,000,000 sites and some of my articles even have a PR 3 and 4 now!

Cool thing is that the traffic from the other directory is about the same as ezinearticles, so it is possible to get traffic from somewhere other then EZA!

So basically i wrote 10 very well written money making articles and promoted the heck out of them. In addition i also took some spun articles and submitted to popular web 2.0 sites like zimbio,wordpress,blogger,wet paint,squidoo,hubpages, ETC and pointed links at these sites at my money articles, my main site and each other!

Where I sent Them When They Clicked Through

My landing page was a real simple page were i put a paragraph pre selling the product and a picture of the product, under the pre sell paragraph i put a click here for more information button. that's it. I am converting one out of every 25 hops with this system and enjoying more free time to boot.

To tune this system I write and spin a new article a week that links to my money making articles and mass submit it with APR, I add a few profile links for each article, and add a post to my blogger and wordpress blogs once every week or two. Other then that the rankings are sticking and traffic is growing.

I know i was brief and If I was unclear about anything i wrote please feel free to ask me a question and i will do my best to try and explain in more detail for you.

This system goes against popular thinking and uses no list to generate sales. I do plan to add a list at a tlater date and see how that ramps up my sales. But until then i am happy with my progress!

Just a Quick Update and a Link To a Free Article Writer

Its been awhile since i last posted and i must say things are going very well. I picked up a local SEO job for a mortgage/real estate company and was able in a very short amount of time to get them on the front page of google for some very competitive terms and beat some of the large local companies in the process!!

So to my surprise i guess I do actually know something!:)

I also picked up a job to start a mortgage blog for a good friend of mine for $500. Should be about 5 hours work to get the blog and 15 SEO optimized posts up and bookmarked.Not bad money for the price!

As far as the clickbank earnings are concerned they have been doing well and I am averaging about 1-2 sales per day over the course of the month. for a amount fo $25 to $50 per day.

I have not been article marketing much or doing much of anything to promote my clickbank stuff and need to pick it up to increase my earnings a bit. My goal is a consistent $100 per day. I did just outsource my first batch of 10 articles and am waiting to see how that goes.

I also picked up a job to start a mortgage blog for a good friend of mine for $500. Should be about 5 hours work to get the blog and 10 posts up and bookmarked.Not bad money for the price!

Clickbank Article Marketing-April 2009 Earnings Update

Well its been awhile since i posted last on my progressbut i wanted to report my earnings for April. It was not a very good month. Total profit for the month was $296.88

I did get hammered with an unusual amount of returns in April. The returns amounted to $85.90 so the actual sales for the month were $382.78 but the returns just pulled me down.

I kind of took it real easy in April and did not write that many articles. I am starting again and the sales for the month of May so far are $202.92 with no returns so far this month. So it appears as long as the articles are flowing out the money comes in.

I did have my biggest day online in May as well $73 and change from clickbank and $24 from another affiliate sales through paypal.

I am starting to think that this method of redirecting my domain to the merchants sales page may only have so much potential unless you have thousands of articles out there.

With that said I may switch over to CPA or actual products and article market those and see what happens.

I started to mess with squidoo and try and promote a product ont here. Hopefully that will go well and i will report back on that in the future.

Sorry for the short post but its nice here in Wisconsin and i gotta run outside and play with my kids!

Article Marketing Clickbank Products Update

Well the month of January was OK total sales for that month were $305.03 Not that great but much better then when i started out. February is starting out great. I started promoting a new product that pays out over $20 per sale and over $40 if they buy the up sell. I sold 4 a the end of January so that helped boost the earnings.

So far a few have bought the up sell and sales so far for February are $65.06 which makes me feel pretty good considering it is only the third day of the month so i feel i should easily pass last months $300 mark.

The new product i am promoting i have been using article marketing, and a few other free methods like blog comments and craigslist so it has really not cost me anything to increase my earnings accept time. I am averaging about a sale per 150 hops which to me is not to bad.

I did accomplish getting to #1 author in my first niche and having 11 out of 15 spots in the most viewed articles section at ezinearticles which i am sure is helping to fuel sales of the older product i promoted. I have 132 live articles for the product I am promoting.

My goal is to have at least 3-4 good campaigns up this year to help increase my income, i am going to stick to things people like and need. Weight loss, make money and maybe one more that i have yet to decide.

Clickbank Article Marketing Progress Update

January started off very very well. I made six sales in the first four days of the year for a total of $100.88. I also had a few days with

This may seem low for six sales but the initial product i was promoting only paid out just under $10. But i also sold a credit repair course and a copy of Instant Article Wizard for a combined commission of $55.41.

Then right after the 4th it slowed very badly, i had one sale on the 6th and another on the 8th and nothing since from clickbank. Alot of hops but no sales!!!

Although i did make a $47 commission from selling a copy of a cool article submission tool called article post robot on the 12th and also sold an old website i had for $75 on the same day.

I also made my first Ebay partner network commission of $4.57, just under the minimum payout of $5. This is from writing some simple hubpages and using their tools to display Ebay Ads.

So all in all January is not good but not bad, time will tell.

I now have 114 live articles at ezinearticles.com for this niche and another 4 waiting for review. I fell short of my writing goal over my vacation but had a great relaxing twelve days off work.

Article Marketing And Clickbank Progress

Well after my great week sales dropped off the face of the earth which i attribute to the Christmas holiday rush. I had no sales from December 20th-25th. But i did have two on the 26th and two more on the 28th. So i think that now that Christmas has passed people should be getting back to normal again and sales should pick up.

I wrote a few more articles and will be writing at least 30 this week but am shooting for 50 to have at last 130 live articles for this product. I have 80 live so far.

I did learn one valuable lesson recently. I had a sale that gave me about half of what i normally make for commission. I emailed the merchant directly and they told me they list the percentage of sale on clickbank based off the customer buying an up sell they offer not off the actual product price. They claim most people take the up sell so they feel OK about listing it this way.

Most of my sales took the up sell so its not that big a deal but something to be aware of and double check. Only two out of twenty four sales did not take it so at this point I am ok with it.

Selling Clickbank Products Through Article Marketing

This week should wrap up with 5 sales. I have not done much all week because I had a bad cold, then my wife and kids got sick. Now my brother is getting married this weekend so everything is on hold.

I did however set up a small Google Adwords campaign to try and sell the product through. So far i have made one sale from 10 clicks. The only problem is my CTR for my ads really stinks!
I have to work on improving that and will go from there and see if i can make some more sales via PPC.

I currently have 51 live articles at ezinearticles in my niche and from what i have seen so far i will need at least 100-150 to make 1-2 sales per day which is my ultimate goal.

I do plan on hammering out about 10-15 articles next week, unless christmas shopping gets in the way!

My Revised Article Marketing Strategy Updated

Since employing my strategy of submitting rewritten articles to a few good directories and not sending the same article out to hundreds of worthless ones my traffic has increased as have my earnings and free Google traffic.

The exciting part about this is that for many lower competition terms my articles have anywhere from 4-8 spots on the front page Of Google. The websites that i was article marketing for have also got a boost in free search engine traffic as well.

I am linking this to the fact that with the article rewritter i use i can alter the anchor text links for the resource box. So i can really get a good mix of anchor text links pointing back to my pages.

This strategy took one of my sites pages with a fairly competitive term from the second page of Google to the second spot in a two weeks. Will it stay, who knows but its there now and with consistent work i believe i can cement it there!

Before when i was just slamming out the same article to the directories i never saw page domination like this so i am now buying into the negatives of duplicate content based on my own experiences.

The only thing i did recently with my old strategy was to switch to the new ArticleApps article software. This software has a lot of cool options that are not offered with regular article rewriting packages. Plus it is very easy to learn how to use and implement!

There is a free version but it limits the number of times per day you can use it and also does not give you access to the built in thesaurus and some other very cool options

. If you are serious about your article marketing efforts i recommend that you spend the money and upgrade to the gold version of ArticleApps.

While the free version will work it gives you just enough to wish you would have upgraded to the Gold version. Plus if you update right away you get a discount that is pretty big.

The only other thing i want to implement in my efforts is some auto submission software but i am researching the different ones out there and will report back once i decide on one and put it to use.

My Revised Adsense Article Marketing And Submission Strategy

This is an update to my adsense strategy post you can read here.

Here is what i have been doing lately i picked up software from here www.powerarticlerewriter.com (you can get it for free for 15 days)and take may ezinearticles article and spin it into 15 different ones it takes about 50 minutes to write a 300 word article and set it up for spinning the variations

To spin it i rewrite each sentence 3-5 times then replace synonyms within the rewritten sentences. Its easy to do with this software

I then submit them to these directories all at once. I like these because they either have no word minimum or a very low word minimum of 300 words plus they most have good PR and Alexa rankings.

1.www.ezinearticles.com
2.www.articlecube.com
3.www.article dashbaord.com
4.www.goarticles.com
5 www.hubpages.com
6 www.afroartcles.com
7 www.findinarticles.com
7 www.articlerich.com
9 www.add-articles.com
10 www.articlebiz.com
11 www.amazines.com
12 www.easyarticles.com
13 www.articlecity.com
14 www.realestateproarticles.com
15 post to my site or main blog

I repeat this process for 30-50 articles for each site.This way i will have tons of unique articles all over the web and build some site content as well.

For the wordpress and blogger blogs i just use the ezinearticles version with theresource box in tact they drive some traffic but not tons. Its just a quick easy thing to do plus if you put Adsense on the blogs it will make you money to.

This method has put alot of my articles on the front page of Google its nice to own 7 or 8 of the spots on the front page for a low hanging keyword.

This is an update to my adsense strategy post you can read here.

Simple Article Marketing Trick That Will Double Your Traffic

Something that i started to do recently was to target two or even three keywords in my articles i submit to www.ezinearticles.com. It has really driven more traffic to my Adsense pages more then a single keyword article ever could.

To do this i go the the free Google keyword tool and find my first keyword. I shoot for medium competition with this keyword with under 20,000 competing pages when searched in quotes

The next keyword i try for slightly less so maybe 10,000 competing pages when searched in quotes.

I will then use these two keywords in the title and try and keep the keyword density the same for each keyword. I like to keep it at 1-1.5%

I put the keyword with the most search competition first in the title.

The results have been literally amazing, the article traffic has doubled and my earnings got a slight bump. Plus it is very easy to do. I am currently going back over some old articles t modify them in this manner.

I wish i had started doing this when i first started article marketing and for the life of me I cannot figure out why i didn't?

Writing a Resource Box That Will Make People Click

The internet is the information highway, this phrase has been used so may time it should be nominated for the Internet Cliché Award. People that go to the internet are subdivided into groups, but generally, they are out to search information. Whether for gaming, business, fun or anything else the internet has provided us with information that has proved to be very beneficial.

Through the recent years many people have learned the secrets of Search Engine Optimization. More and more sites have seen the effects articles have done for the traffic of their sites. Some have even created sites devoted entirely to providing articles that could be read by their website visitors and have links that could lead to many sites that are related to the topics and subjects of the articles.

For example, the sites may feature many articles about a whole lot of topics. As a website visitor reads the articles they have searched for, they can find at the end of the article a resource box that can be clicked on to link them to the site that has submitted the article. Of course the article would be in relation to the site. Lets say if the article is about rotating the tires, the resource box may lead to a link to a site that sells tires or car parts.

A resource box is what you usually find at the end of an article. They will contain the name of the author, a brief description of the author, a brief description of the sponsoring site and a link. If a reader likes what they read, they would have the tendency to find out where the article came from to read more. The resource bow will be their link to the source of the article and this will entice them to go to the site and do some more reading or research for the subject or topic they are interested in.

But like the article itself, the resource box must also be eye-catching to demand the attention and interest of the reader. While the resource bow encompasses only a small space, providing the right keywords and content for your resource box will provide more prodding for the reader to go to your site.

Now we know what resource boxes are, what are the benefits of having a good resource box? Mainly its driving traffic to your site. Many sites would allow articles to be placed in their sites because they can make use of the articles to fill their pages. They also get affiliation with other sites that can be beneficial for them as well. For the sponsoring site, when you get people to click on your resource box, you generate traffic that can be counted upon as potential customers.

So what would be a good content for your resource box? Basically it is keywords, learning about the proper keywords that people are mainly searching for. There are many tools you can find in the internet that can help you in determining what keywords to use.

Resource boxes can also make use of all the creativity it can get. You only get a small space for your resource box so you better make the most of it. Try to catch the attention of your reader with resource box content that can make them give a second look.

Unlike TV ads, you don’t have visual aids to drive your point in. But you do have the power of imagination of a reader. With the right content, you can make them think and intrigued.

Another tip is to use keywords that should be related to your site. Do not mislead your potential website visitors. Build your credibility so that more people would get enticed to visit your site and browse what you have to offer. Make the people click your resource box by providing resource box content that makes a lasting impression. You only get one chance to wow them and hundreds of chances to repulse them.

Never underestimate the power of the resource box. It may be small in size but they will provide a significant aid in driving traffic to your site. A boring resource box will never get a job done. Be fun and creative but at the same time show that you have a great deal to offer, too much to ask for something that couldn’t fit a paragraph?

Yes and no, there are many tips and guides that can help you in doing this, the first step is realizing how important a resource box could be in making people click your link and be directed to your site.

Three Things You Must Do Before You Submit To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills back.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting popular.

There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure, which is only half of the story.

Let us take a look first at the common mistakes that some people make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. If the article is not focused on this primary and most important purpose, it will fail to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them.

You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your resource box. You can achieve this by producing better contents.

2. Failing to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.

You may know already that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from that same articles?

Mention keywords at strategic places. Just be sure not to overdo them. Some are even using anchor texts which is also an effective method. But it is important to know that majority of the directories are not able to support this.

Remember that is not only about the links back to your site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large number of audiences and gaining the ability of leveraging other brands because of the quality of your work. Better search engine results also are great benefits.

But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that can turn your article marketing efforts into an opportunity that can boost your earnings. Not just increase the number of visitors to your site.
Start out with a plan and see to it that your article will serve the function that you intended it to have.

3. Publishing content that does not help your readers.

Maybe you are in the process of writing articles, you are thinking that all that is you wanted is links back to your site. And any visitors it can generate are fine.

Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Oftentimes, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting.
You can double the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people.

All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight.

Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic and even hiring a writer to produce a good content on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra time making quality contents.

It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article submitted on directories is not meant to have the same level of exposure as highly-targeted content ones geared on a narrow group of people.

Learn the difference between these two and it will surely help you know what kinds of articles to write and to submit.

Writing Articles as an Affordable Internet Marketing Method

Content is king. You can say that again. That is why writing articles is one of the most utilized Internet marketing methods used today. Internet surfers just can't get enough of information on various fields. Providing information through these articles is a surefire way to drive hot traffic to your web site.

Why is this so? Here are the benefits that writing articles can give your Internet business.

1. It's absolutely free.

Too good to be true? Not. Okay, you have to pay for your Internet Service Provider. That's it. All you need is your thoughts, your computer, and your hands. If you have those, nothing will stop you from typing words that will make you complete that article for your website. On which aspect of that process did you really shell out any cent? Maybe later when your electric bills come.

2. Your website will be noticed in a short period of time.

Submit that article of yours to article directories that get the most web traffic and in no time your web site will be crawled. That is if you don't forget including your resource box or byline.

3. Obtain back links automatically.

When you submit your articles to directories, surely, other websites will make use of your article too. With the copyright terms of your articles, the URL of your website will still be in tact and will subsequently direct more traffic to your website.

4. Improve your reputation.

As an Internet marketer, if you plainly display your products on your website, you will not gain much conversion rate. Conversion is when your traffic converts to sales. You have to show that you are knowledgeable on your field. And what better way to show that than by writing articles that will allow you some bragging rights, right?

Just make your creative juices flow and jot down or key in those ideas quickly to jumpstart your article writing momentum. With those benefits listed above, a writer's block is the last problem you will ever be able to surmount.

6 Article Marketing Tips To Get Your Articles Read

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Use Article Marketing To Increase Your Adsense Revenue.


When it comes to making money online most people over complicate things to the point of insanity. The truth is that with Google adsense you really only need two main things, traffic and a website or blog!

Once you have those two things the adsense will do the rest. Putting up a website or blog is simple. So simple in fact that most people can have there own up and running in a matter of minutes using some of the free platforms that are available on the Internet today like blogger or wordpress

With that said they most people will still lack the most important factor, traffic. Getting traffic is looked at as some black magic science that only a few know about. I remember when i started i thought there was some super secret SEO tricks that i needed to be successful. I spent money on alot of ebooks and courses only to be let down because the information i was receiving was basically the same rehashed crap everyone was pushing and it really never worked as promised.

I decided to dig a little deeper and teach myself a new way to get traffic and make good money from adsense instead of the pitiful pennies i was making a day.

After a few months of reading and learning on my own i finally figured it out and it took my adsense earnings to a new high of between $500-1000 per month from the previous $20-$25. While that maybe low to some people it sure has let me lead a funner and less stressful life!

The best part about my ways of getting traffic is it takes literally 30 minutes a day and most people could do it on their lunch hour at work, which as a matter of fact is when i do all my article writing. So with out further ramblings i Will go into the simplest strategy there is to get more money from adsense and more traffic to your money producing pages.

What Is Article Marketing

Article marketing is my method of choice for driving targeted interested visitors to my webpages. Now this is not a new concept but it is one that is often overshadowed by other fancier and methods that claim to be more effective ways to get traffic.

While there maybe fancier and more glamorous ways to get traffic, in my opinion nothing beats article marketing, well maybe Pay per click but that costs money and article marketing is free!

Article marketing is a simple concept. You write quality informative articles and submit them to the top article directories on the internet. In return for publishing your article the directories give you a resource box that you can put a link to your websites in. One good article can send thousands of visitors to your site in a short amount of time.

Along with the traffic directly from the article directories many blog and website owners will use your articles as site content. When done correctly they are supposed to leave your resource box in place with your links tact. This will provide you additional backlinks as well as the potential to siphon off some traffic from sites who publish your articles.

Top Article Directories that have worked well for me.

Ezinearticles (the best directory period)

Amazines

Article Dashboard

Go Articles (instant approval)

Afro Articles (500 word minimum)

Buzzle

Article Cube

One of the ways you can ensure that your articles receive good traffic is to do some simple keyword research. I use free wordtracker for this job. Its very easy to use, just enter your keyword in the box and the 100 most popular keywords for that phrase will come up.

I write my articles around the lower competition keywords that no one wants because they offer little search volume of 2-5 per day. These are easy to rank for and drive traffic to the articles and my sites very well. I would rather dominate 100 smaller keywords rather then 1 big one because if you lose 1 of 100 its no big deal but losing 1 of 1 is. Plus there is just safety in numbers that make me comfortable.

If you make an effort to sit down and write one article per day and focus on driving traffic to one site you will see a rise in traffic and in income.

Top Seven Ways Writing Articles Can Explode Your Business

In today's highly competitive internet universe, the importance of attracting highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be overemphasized. Routing web traffic to your site can be your only means of survival, especially in the cutthroat world of ecommerce. Getting a high search engine ranking can be very difficult. Fortunately, there is plethora of website promotion strategies you can use to drive traffic to your website.

There is a wide variety of strategies you can adapt, from paid advertising to affiliate marketing. However, most of these techniques require payment. Nevertheless, there are ways to promote your website and increase your web traffic without spending anything. Writing articles is one of the best web site promotion strategies you can use, and they can be very effective. How, you may ask, can writing articles help improve your web traffic? Here are the top seven ways in which it can help explode your business.

1.Reach more people

When you write good articles, it would be a shame not to share them with other people. You can post your articles in your website or you can submit them to other sites such as e-zines and online publishers. By submitting your articles to these sites, you give exposure not only to your ideas but also to your website. Simply include a link back to your site or include your information in the resource box. With this, you get exposure and free advertising as well. Submit your articles to popular e-zines and take advantage of their popularity. Other sites who find your article relevant may also link back to you. Thus, you increase your link popularity, which is one of the most important strategies in the internet world. Remember that most people are looking for information online and by filling this need with your quality article; you may reap the benefit of more exposure and higher web traffic.

2.Free Advertising

Submitting your articles to other websites presents an opportunity to advertise your website without paying exorbitant fees. Although you should avoid marketing language in your articles and make it informative and useful to your readers, you can always include your site's link in the resource box. In addition, by making your article relevant and helpful to your readers, you are making a good impression for your website, which could ultimately lead to a visit and hopefully a purchase. Good quality content in an article is far better and more effective than a few lines of ad space. You have a very special opportunity to presell your product or service to your prospective customer.

3.Gain High Search Engine Ranking

Create a new web page for your article in your website. Optimize your article to make it search-engine friendly. Use top-ranked keywords and Meta tags that can give your website a high search engine ranking. As soon as you upload your new webpage to your server, search engines will spider through it and you can gain an increase in search engine ranking. Remember that search engine optimized content is a very effective strategy to gain a high ranking in search results.

4.Increases Link Popularity

Instead of looking for other sites who would want to establish reciprocal links with your site, you can simply submit an article to other sites. Just do not forget to include a link to your site in your resource box. When these websites pick up and publishes your article, you automatically get a link partner. Try to get as many link partners as you can. Link popularity is one of the factors used by search engines in determining search engine rankings. Make your article especially useful and appealing, so that more websites will be encouraged to publish it.

5.Optimizes your site for improved search engine ranking

By making your site keyword rich, you can greatly improve the search engine ranking of your site. Remember that keyword density is one of the most important factors that search engines use when determining the search engine ranking of site. However, you should always provide relevant, useful and pertinent information. Avoid the temptation of overusing keywords just to gain a high ranking as this may turn off most web surfers. Relevance and quality is still the most important things to consider when writing articles and it will be doubly useful to your site if you make these articles search-engine optimized.

6.Establishes a Good Impression and Reputation

By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you not only give your site exposure, you are also creating a good impression on your prospects. Encourage more people to visit your site and do business with you by establishing an impressive reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the field and your will ultimately gain more customers eager to do business with you.

7.Enhances your credibility through references and testimonies

Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedbacks and testimonies when you publish them in e-zines and free article sites. Record these positive feedbacks and comments and use them as promotional material in your website or in any of your advertising efforts. Your credibility will be greatly enhanced by these feedbacks, as it will create a good impression on your prospects as well as your existing customers. In this highly competitive world, excellent credibility and trust may be the only things you need to attract new customers or make loyal patrons out of your existing customers. Original, relevant, useful and pertinent articles are important tools you should utilize to improve and explode your business

Instant Article Wizard Is a Great Tool To Have

Instant Article Wizard Review

Article marketing is by far the best way to drive traffic to your adsense websites, or any website or that matter. The amount of traffic that can come from just a handful of articles is truly amazing.

The only downside to article marketing is actually writing the articles and keeping ideas in your head fresh so you can continue to write new and unique articles on a regular basis.

In order to keep my traffic and earnings high i have been trying to write 1-3 articles per day and submit them to www.ezinearticles.com. But like anyone i frequently hit a period of writers block that can slow my progress and potentially reduce my earnings. To combat against this i have been using one of my tools alot more lately.

The tool I have been using is Instant Article Wizard that was Developed By John Leger. I have owned this tool for about a year and really enjoy how easy it can produce and article for me to rewrite into my own creation, especially on topics i know nothing about! This tool works great for adding content to your sites as well!

Instant article wizard basically scours the internet for phrases that have your keyword in them then gives you a list of sentences to use targeted to your keyword. But it goes one step further and groups those sentences into sub categories that you can use. What i mean is that if you look at the article i wrote below it is broken down into sub topics. Each of these subtopics was offered as an option in the instant article wizard results and all the phrases came from them. Its actually quite amazing how such an inexpensive piece of software can do this that accurately.


below is an unedited article i wrote in literally FIVE MINUTES using Instant Article Wizard. If i spent another 10-15 minutes rewriting it i could easily have one article to submit to a directory of my choice! This was on a subject I have no clue about.


Organic Gardening

Organic gardening is all about balance between the soil and its nutrients, the water, the air, and of course your plants. Organic gardening is the oldest method of cultivation, it's good for your family, and it's less expensive to do. Organic gardening is a constantly evolving dance that allows you to be a full participant in your garden.

Soil

One of the basic tenant of organic gardening is to "Feed the soil and the soil will feed the plants". New gardeners are cautioned to put money and effort into improving their soil before they even consider planting, but few appreciate this wisdom. Plants get water, air and nutrients from the soil. Soil depletion of organic nutrients is one of the main causes of unhealthy plants and disease. Adding organic matter improves any soil's texture as well as attracting soil organisms that create nutrients in the soil.

Plants

A mix of plants will attract more beneficial insects and prevent a problem from spreading throughout your garden. Select plants that are suited to your site conditions. Plants that are well adapted to your climate require less maintenance and are more tolerant to adverse conditions. Don't choose plants that require full sun if you live in a shady woodland. Similarly, don't select plants that like a moist environment if you have sandy soil and lots of sunshine.

Insects

One important practice of organic gardening is to avoid the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers on plants because these can be harmful to beneficial insects, people and other elements of the ecosystem. While conventional gardeners use all manner of pesticides to control insects, grubs and other undesirables in the garden, organic gardeners use natural methods. Some organic gardeners prefer to remove pests by hand from the garden, or to use beneficial insects such as ladybugs and green lacewings, to eat those bugs that aren’t welcome in the garden. Washing insects off plants with a strong water spray from a garden hose is another method of physical control.

Organic gardening is one of the many ways in which we can get our share from the earth as well as preserve it for future generations. Organic gardening is a rewarding experience, providing your family's table with chemical free nutritious food. Organic Gardening is a wonderful thing your family can do to reduce your exposure to pesticides and help create a healthy environment for your neighbors.


As you can see the article makes sense and flows pretty good, after some rewriting its ready for submission to the article directory of my choice and it should take less then 30 minutes. Thats about the same time it takes me to write a good article on a topic i know about!

Although i do not use Instant Article Wizard for all my article writing efforts it does come in very handy when i am drawing a blank and can't get started. And it is a life saver when i am trying to produce articles or website content on subjects i am clueless about. Basically it just makes my Adsense efforts much easier.

What I Do Not Like About Instant Article Wizard

There are a few things i do not like about instant article wizard but they are small things in my opinion. For one thing almost every sentence has the keyword you are looking for in it meaning that you have to go through and edit out some of the keywords to bring your keyword density down to acceptable levels.

Also some times the program does lock up and freeze but this is rare. The good thing is that the program allows you to save your work so as long as you save you are OK. S

Also some of the phrases that are returned will not fit in but once you have used it a few times you learn how to skim through the returned data pretty quick.

The only other negative is that sometimes the results are all from a a couple of different sites that are authority sites in their niches. This is not a problem if you rewrite the articles

Even with the few short comings I found Instant Article Wizard is still a great tool to help you write product reviews,articles,blog posts and even useful blog comments and I highly recommend it!

Article Marketing Tips-Getting Maximum Exposure For Your Articles

When it comes to article marketing the best directory hands down is http://www.ezinearticles.com/ not only are articles from this article directory indexed quickly but they also rank very well on Google, seeing a front page listing is not uncommon if you chose your keyword right. One well written article can bring you hundreds of visitors overnight. But not every article you write is going to be a slam dunk traffic driving monster. Some articles may not get viewed much, rank well on Google or no matter what you do people will just not click your resource box links.

I would like to share with you what i do to avoid this problem and increase my articles chances of being an effective traffic producing tool. Look at the bottom of ezinearticles (see photo) and you will see three categories. They are the most recent articles, most published and most viewed articles. If you look at articles in the most viewed categories and find similarities in them you can use this to your advantage.

An article that makes it into the most viewed or most published is huge for that articles traffic potential because a link to that article will show up on every article within that category, that is huge in terms of potential traffic. When you are examining the current most viewed articles look for things like keywords, where the keyword is in the title, keyword density, article layout and article length. You may find that 400 word articles with "How To" in the title are doing very well or that a certain keyword is dominating, all this is valuable information to you and you should use it to format your own articles. A great FREE tool for analyzing articles keyword density and length is availible at http://www.dupefreepro.com/

After you find some similarities you can then write your own articles that have been optimized for maximum views. As simple as this sounds it is very effective and has increased my articles traffic and adsense earnigns substantially.
