Using Free Press Releases To Get Free Backlinks!

For Internet Marketing and affiliate marketing sites to achieve traffic and pagerank, what could be better than free & easy traffic and backlinks?

Press releases can be extremely effective marketing tools, and should be part of every Internet marketers toolchest. But press release distribution can be costly; the top distribution level for PRWeb runs $360+. PRNewswire is even pricier.

The good news is there are some very effective FREE press release services. Most of these offer paid services as well, but their free distribution can be very effective. Some of these sites even offer tips and templates for writing effective releases.

Here is a list of nearly 20 free press release distribution services, taken from our newly-released “Ultimate IM Toolchest” (the first part of our upcoming ”Internet Marketing Almanac“):

Effective Article Marketing Strategy For Affiliates

One way to earn profits as an affiliate marketer is to use article marketing to generate free traffic to your blog or website which is promoting an affiliate offer. The most popular article submission site is EzineArticles.com. Here’s a strategy you can use to get your articles to the top of the heap:

What you want to do is first do a search on the topic that you plan on writing an article for. Take note which article is getting the most page views and what you want to do is copy it. By “copy” I mean create a new headline and article that is VERY similar to the article getting a lot of page views. Basically what you’re trying to do is get the same results that the already published article is getting without creating duplicate content or plagiarizing.
