Article Marketing: 6 Secret Strategies For Success!

If you have already tasted success from Article Marketing, you know it is one of the (if not THE) most potent and cost-effective forms of internet marketing. Informative, unique, and powerful articles can get you tons of free direct traffic. Every day, day after day, for years after they were initially posted. And, you’ll keep posting… , why not, when you’ve found an easy way to market?

As a bonus, your articles will also get you back links. The more links you can get from every article, the merrier, because your site’s chances of ranking higher in Search Engines (SEs) increases.

Can you ask for more?

There are many important secrets to learn about article marketing, which this blog discusses elsewhere. However, in this post, I’m now going to reveal 6 secret strategies for success in article marketing. Here we go:

Article Marketing Secret Strategy #1: Writing and submitting, to SEs, plenty of good quality, original articles.

Easier said than done. Can you (or your ghostwriter) write one article per article directory that you submit to? How else will your site compete with your competitors’ sites with 1000’s (or at least 100’s) of back links? If you submit the same article to more than one directory, perhaps all but one of your links would end up in the ’supplemental index’ of the SEs (like Google), thereby getting you no more than one credit for the article.

If you spin your article and submit, what your prospects read will be more amusing (making a complete mockery of your article) than delightful…. Click here to find out how a typical spun article reads! After reading this, do you think they’ll buy anything from you at all?

Yet, you should find a way out to Write plenty of good quality, original articles and submit to 100’s of article directories.

Article Marketing Secret Strategy #2: Creating 100’s of versions of the same article that read as good as the original.

Spinning of articles is time-consuming work. And every version of the article spun should be unique, and different from one another in the watchful eyes of the ‘content duplication’ software that SEs use. Additionally, SEs don’t quite like to see the very same article title and anchor text in your links. So, you need to make sure these are varied across your article versions as well.

Article Marketing Secret Strategy #3: ‘Drip submission’ of articles to directories.

Almost every article submission software submits articles in bursts. SEs (esp. Google) don’t like that; if your site does receive a flood of back links, SEs may, at worst, sandbox your site (and that may be the end of your SE ranking hopes),.. or at best, deny credit for your links. SEs like sites that get back links naturally, at a steady rate.

Article Marketing Secret Strategy #4: Submission to the right category in every directory.

Most Article submission software don’t bother about the category to which your article should be submitted. This is because, the directories don’t have a standard set of categories.

Article Marketing Secret Strategy #5: Creation of logins for several 100 article directories.
Don’t mind the pain, because it’s a one-time effort, that creates the opportunity for you to submit every one of your articles for years to come.

Article Marketing Secret Strategy #6: Tracking submissions, and resubmitting articles that fail during submission.

Some submissions will fail in the first attempt in some directories for whatever reasons. The failure rate will be higher when you submit using software. Most software submissions are not tracked by the submission software, and so, they wouldn’t even know if your articles got submitted properly. If the software gives you a report of the date and time of submission, you’re reasonably safe. And if the software is programmed to resubmit later, all the better.

Why you should seriously pursue these 6 Article Marketing Secret Strategies: True, there are many challenges in article marketing. But therein lies the opportunity. Precisely for the same reasons of these challenges, your competitors are more likely to give up or make many compromises. If you pursue all these strategies rigorously, you’ll be one up on your competition.
