Why You Should Use Article Marketing in Your Search Engine Marketing

One of the most important things when you are search engine marketing is the creation of inbound links.

And of course those inbound links have to come from a web site somewhere.

So you have to have some willing web master who wants to send traffic to your web site.

Of course, you can always pay for the links – but why pay for the links if you can get them for free – which is what happens with article marketing.

You see, in article marketing, web masters will willingly place your article and a link to your web site on their web site, in exchange for the content you are letting him use.

You see, when you write content for him – it is like free content for him – and his part of the bargain is to give you a link.

Here is how I do it:

1) I write keyword optimized articles about my niche topics, and include in each of them a link to my web site. In most cases, I use a link to a squeeze page, where I include an offer for a free gift or other giveaway, which allows me to receive a name and email address in addition to just getting the visitor.

2) I submit each article to as many as 100 article directories. This way I get as many as 100 inbound links for each article that I write. Of course, I usually get many more, as many web masters go to the web sites that I submit the articles to, to get content for their own site – and of course they put a link to me in their web site too. There really is an exponential effect to this.
