How to Increase sales through Maketing Articles

Free (organic) traffic.

One way of promoting your internet site and product can be carried out for FREE. As an additional bonus, this "free" technique can supercharge your web site* and sales, doubling and even tripling your income. To promote your website in order to generate traffic and increase your profits.

How does this work?

Write articles relating to your website and submit them as "free content" to submission sites. Easy to do, takes little time and can increase your website traffic, sales and of course, your income.

How can article writing supercharge your traffic and income?

The article on the free content site contains a link to your own website. Readers, after reading your articles, may choose to click on the link and pay you an unexpected visit. Having them on the free content sites is also making these articles available to other webmasters who may wish to publish that article on their site.

If they do, your article will include a link back to your site. And anyone who reads the article on that site can still click on the link to visit your site.

As the list of your published articles grow larger, and increasingly more of them are appearing on different websites, the total number of links to your site increases also. Major search engines are placing a lot of significance on incoming links to websites so they can determine the importance of a certain site.

The more incoming links the website has, the more importance search engines attaches to it. This will then increase your website’s placement in the search results.

If your site is into promoting a product or service, the links that your articles have achieved will mean more potential customers for you. Even if visitors merely browse through, you never know if they might be in need of what you're offering in the future.

There are also those who already have particular things they need on their mind but cannot decide yet between the many alternatives online. Chances are, they may stumble upon one of your articles, gets interested by the contents you wrote, go to your site and became enticed by your promotions.

See how easy that is?

Search engines do not just index the websites, they also index published articles. They also index any article that is written about your own website’s topic. So once someone searches for that same topic, the list of results will have your site or may even show the articles that you have written. No effort on your part was used to bring them to your site. Just your published articles and the search engines.

It is no wonder why many webmasters are suddenly reviving their old writing styles and taking time to write more articles about their site than doing other means of promotion.

Getting their site known is easier if they have articles increasing their links and traffic and making it accessible for visitors searching the Internet. Since many people are now taking their buying needs online, having your site on the search engines through your articles is one way of letting them know about you and your business.

The good thing with articles is that you can write about things that people would want to know about. This can be achieved in the lightest mood but professional manner, with a little not-so-obvious sales pitch added.

If you think about it, only a few minutes of your time is spent on writing one article and submitting to free content site. In the shortest span of time also, those are distributed to more sites than you can think of. Even before you know what is happening, you are getting more visitors than you previously had.

If you think you are wasting your time writing these articles, fast forward to the time when you will see them printed and wide-spread on the Internet. Not to mention the sudden attention and interest that people are giving your website and your products or services.

Try writing some articles and you will be assured of the sudden surge in site traffic, link popularity and interest. Before you know it, you will be doubling and even tripling your earnings.

What are the four principles of Marketing

Are you being Bludgeoned by Marketing Information?

I’m long on easy beats hard every time. If you look around the net you can find all kinds of information on product marketing. “Google” Product Marketing and you will come up with 68,500,000 sites.

Stay at it long enough and you can spend hours reading information relating to this, that and the other thing. Its not that the information isn’t useful but where do you stop. I’m sure it’s an addiction or I’m going to be responsable for labeling it one. I’m calling it the, “What did I just read” syndrome.

According to the 20/80 principle, 20 % of your marketing ideas will produce 80% of your results. So boil it down to a few simple bedrock principles. Do them well and your likely to be succeed.

When we boil marketing down it really comes down to 4 things.

1. Find a customer

2. Increase the number of customers

3. Persuade these customers to buy more

4. Encourage these customers to buy more frequently

More customers, more orders. More often. That’s it, these are the buttons on the control panel called the customer.

Dress it up, make it eye-popping and techno-brilliant. If you aren't addressing these principles on a daily basis. Someone else will and you will end up with an overhead-time-sucking monstrosity called a website.

Marketing Your Article for Web Traffic

The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching any of the machinery.

-Warren G. Bennis, USC Professor of Business Administration

I'm wondering why we make on-line marketing so difficult. I came across a great post at The Keyword Academy "Do not submit your website to google". It outlines a very simple and intuitive process of getting your site into Google. And then goes on to explain the process in plain English.

I have to admit I was a little sceptical. I guess the intuitive part comes after you try it. It's based on the premise that the best way to get on Google is to get back linked from a site with a decent PageRank.

Here comes the easy part. A short outline of the process is:

1. Write an article of about 300 words

2. Submit that article to an article publisher, example (Goarticles.com PageRank 6)

3. Fill out the author bio with a link back to your website

4. Change up your article and submit it to another article publisher.

Thus creating a link to your site from a PageRank 6 website. Which Google loves.

You really need to go to The Keyword Academy and check out the post. It is a post of genius.

Well it makes sense to me. So I tried it, guess what it works. It took only 48 hours to get indexed and I can't think of a better way. So follow this system and see what happens. What have you got to loose. Well, maybe not getting indexed in Google.

Here's how I would do it again.

I'd research a niche to write my article about. I did a keyword search using SEOBOOK.COM I did a Google traffic estimate on, How to paint a tractor, what do you know people actually search this subject. And it's something I know about. Apx search volume 240 in March. So I know someone is interested in the subject. Not many but some.

Next I Googled "How to paint a tractor" in quotes. Came up with 1,250 sites for this search term. How to paint a tractor is a very succinct search term, not to many variations if you want to paint a tractor. I also Googled it without quotes. Page count goes up to 3,500,00.

The relevance of these searches comes about when we do a PageRank query on the top sites in each search. It turns out the PageRank for the first site listed without quotes was PR 3. A check of the next site reveled a PR of 5. The next site PR 2. Doing the same with quotes the first is PR 4. The next is PR 4. The next is PR 4. Incidentally the PR for the last site listed on each page was PR 2

I think it is important to have an idea of what the PageRank is for the sites and not just low indexed page counts. After all what good is finding a niche with an optimized phrase result in the 1,000s but the first page is full of PageRank 6, 7, and 8 I don't think I would have much of a chance of getting on the first page with sites that are so strongly keyword optimized and have plenty of strong links.

So I think with excellent content I can get indexed on the first page for this search term. The issue I have is what do I put on my site/blog that a person painting a tractor can't live without. Start with content again. Then monetize that content toward the goal of making a sale. I don't know if I could find an affiliate product for this phrase, maybe.

Also we need to think of keyword density and keyword theming for our article. How to do that coming up next. In the mean time start thinking about writing that article and read The Keyword Academy Great information!

One of the best sites I have for Keyword analysis and general SEO information is: SEOBOOK.COM After looking around on the site you will find alot of SEO tools that will come in handy all in one place.

Marketing and Automation

Scotty: She's all yours, sir. All systems are automated and ready. A chimpanzee and two trainees could run her!

Captain Kirk: Thank you Mr. Scott. I'll try not to take that personally.
-Star Trek

If you have spent any time on the Internet looking into the affiliate marketing arena. You have most likely come across the latest and greatest product to automate and integrate your marketing efforts.

"What marketing marketing efforts you ask"? Why the ones you outlined from the ebook you purchased just last week. The one that informed you that you needed at the very least: 3 new software programs, 2 new e-books and an upgraded hosting account for the thousands of visits your going to get.

And this e-book had all the answers. It neatly listed all the resources you could possibly need, (in hyper text links of course) with all the appropriate affiliate codes.

"But", not your affiliate codes and that’s the point.

The person who wrote that e-book had a plan. He/she actually followed through on it and dare I say it, "Automated the end result".

Automation comes after the process of creation.

Internet marketing is the most lucrative way of starting your home-based online business. It is the “big break” that many are looking for in a very long time. Do you want to become the boss? Do you want to work with your own time schedule? Do you want to work while wearing your favorite Hawaiian pajama and shirt? Do you want an extraordinary income that will exceed your expectation?

However, there is a great marketing misconception.

Contrary to the popular belief of becoming a computer geek first before earning money through Internet marketing, there are ways of ensuring success in online business without dealing too much with computer expertise. In fact, you do not have to be a web development guru or web programming expert to make your own living on the Internet.

There are Internet marketing business opportunities that are designed with simplicity. These opportunities have low barrier entries for individuals who lack technical know-how about the business. You can use these fully-automated systems to your advantage even if you are not a computer wizard. These programs are growing as your knowledge base expands.

What you need to learn are the basics of these automated systems (such as HTML and JavaScript codes) so that you can use them to your advantage. Most of successful Internet marketers studied this basic knowledge and applied what they have learned on simple automated systems. Only the fundamentals matter—and the rest will just follow.
