Article marketing is a strategy that can increase your visibility to targeted traffic. Articles that are written about your industry by you will help establish your presence in the industry as an expert in the field.

When writing, your articles need to be full of useful and relevant content for your target market. Articles that create solutions for common problems, having how-to’s and tutorial techniques are tremendously helpful for your readers and can turn them into loyal readers who will keep coming back to you for more info.

If you have a passion for what you do in your industry and can transform that into words then you can write your own articles, when you write your own articles there are two benefits of doing this. First, what you write is original and second it is free.

However, if writing is not your thing then there are several sites online where you can view and connect writers who are experts in this field. There are several sites you can visit but the more common ones are Elance, Guru and Craigslist.

Your articles should not be a blatant sales letter nevertheless the articles should be informative. The reason why the reader is reading your article than any other is because they want information.

When writing your articles make sure it is clear and compelling, use short sentences but make them powerful to entice the reader. After writing your article you should always proofread them to check for spelling and general errors before submitting it to article directories.

Provide an explanation for any big or technical words that are included but overall try to avoid technical language.

Your major benefit should be addressed in the title of your article because the title will determine whether or not the reader will click through to read your article and turn into a potential customer.

Article directories are where you can submit your article to be published online. There are many websites available where you can submit your articles and they have different guidelines that you will need to follow in order for your article to be published.

At the bottom of the article you have to add a resource box where you can promote your product and give your contact information. Remember, what you include here should encourage readers to click through to your website.

If possible, place links from your article to other websites or blogs that the reader will find useful, doing this will definitely mark you as a favourite in the readers’ books as you are not limiting them to information.

You’re right, based on my limited experience Article Marketing really work, I’d say focus on the quality of the title first. Make it catchy and interesting. Then focus on the quality and uniqueness of the article.

From my experience article marketing really works and is one of the best ways to promote your web site and products/services that you have to offer. Articles should be informative and interesting however, since you want to get the attention of the readers. Most of the article directories publish quality content and you can always leave your links in the research box or in the article itself pointing to your site.

I would have to agree here.

Article marketing is one of the top ways to get some good targeted traffic IF done right.

To make this work, it’s not just about writing the article and submitting it. To make your article stick, you need to also do your keyword research for a good topic to write about, plus you need to make sure that you are targeting the proper keywords for your article.

It takes time but well worth the work.
