Article Marketing is one very effective and free method to use to get traffic to your blogs and websites. They are two good reasons why you must write articles and submit them to thousands of Article Directories that are on-line.

 

Firstly, you can brand yourself as an 'expert' Internet marketer. If your articles are of good quality and offer useful information you will be much sought after by everyone. This means more visitors to your sites, more prospective customers and hopefully more buyers.

 

Secondly, you can put links to your websites in the author biography section. When people read your articles, they can find out more about you or your products through these links. 

Article Marketing is simple - you write a keyword targeted article, submit it to reputable article directories and include your referral links in the author "bio Box" usually located at the bottom of the article.

Writing article is easy. You only need to write about 350-500 words. You can write articles about home business, Internet marketing, making money, creating residual income, product reviews, pros and cons of a product, a list of your 10 best products or programs, a problem-solution article, or other topics that would be of interest to prospective SFI affiliates.

 

If you do not know how to write, just visit some of the directories listed below and read a few articles related to your theme. Copy their styles. Just make your articles interesting and relevant. Then submit them to the article directories listed below

Most article directories do not allowed affiliate links, so make sure to direct the readers to your own websites or blogs.

 

Don't submit the same article to several directories. They don't like that. You can easily rewrite them with different keywords. Usually use one or two keywords for each article and target a keyword density of about 6% - in a 400-word article, you should use the keyword about 24 times.

 

This is only a guide. Don't worry if you don't get it. And using the same keyword too many times is also a big no-no. Always read and follow their terms and conditions when you submit articles to be included in their directories.
