Taking advantage of Article Marketing

A great way of promoting your knowledge, services or products is by Article Marketing.

You can take advantage of the high pagerank that article websites like squidoo.com and ezinearticles.com possess in order to get high rankings for your chosen keywords. This is much easier than trying to optimise your own website to show up in search results for your chosen keywords.

Some things to keep in mind when attempting to market your services or products with this method:

• Aim for keywords where the results on Google are less than 5000. This will make it much easier for you to have your keywords listed as you will have less competition to deal with
• Use the Google Page Rank tool to check whether the top ranked sites for your search terms have a lower pagerank than your chosen article sites. If this is so your article has a better chance of getting a great ranking.
• Search for new services and products to promote, or write about new events, as competition for these will naturally be lower.

When actually writing the article make sure to

• Use the keywords you want to be listed under in the title of your article
• Write in an engaging way as if you are telling a story to a friend
• Use the keywords in a heading tag at the top of your page <h1>Keywords</h1>
• Use the keywords in your opening paragraph
• Use the keywords in your closing paragraph
• Have between 300 and 500 words in your article
• Try to use your main keyword phrases 3-7 times per article.

Hope that was useful for your onilne marketing efforts.
