Writing Articles as an Affordable Internet Marketing Method

From Overture, a keyword suggestion tool, you will see the millions of searches done to a certain keyword. When these keywords are typed on search boxes of search engines, indexed websites containing articles with those keywords will be displayed. And this is what leads traffic to websites with keyword-rich articles. Yes, the magic word is articles.

Content is king. You can say that again. That is why writing articles is one of the most utilized Internet marketing media 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.

Until next time,

Duplicate Content Myth or Fact?

There’s a lot of talk going around the forums about duplicate content and whether or not you will get penalized for using it?

It’s hard for one person to tell, you have to kind of take what people say with a grain of salt, but I always like to listen to whom I know to be hard core testers and take what they say and test myself…

I am going to post a few links to some good post about this subject:

1) Here is a great post about this subject and more: http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=77891

2) Here is a great post from Jack Humphrey: http://www.jackhumphrey.com/fridaytrafficreport/duplicate-content-scare/

3) Here is a post from http://www.webpronews.com : http://www.webpronews.com/insiderreports/searchinsider/wpn-49-20060228SESNYDuplicateContentJeopardizesYourSite.html

These are just a few pages to start your search, you can also do a search on google for the term duplicate content and check out the 52,400,000 results :)

Like everybody, I have an opinion and I am biased, I think they do weed out result that have the exact same content on the same site twice or more times, I also think that if you copy a site to the tee you will be upset with the results, but if you use other peoples articles or PLR articles along with your own original content you will have nothing to worry about.

If you have PLR you should try all you can to change it up the best you can to make it more unique and you will be pleased with the results..
