Using Article Marketing To Boos Your Affiliate Sites

Almost every marketer talks about article marketing these days. It has become a chief strategy for those creating online home-based business ventures. Due in part to the popularity of the "bum marketing" method, article marketing has two significant characteristics: it works, and it's free.

Article marketing provides Internet marketers with two important benefits. First, it creates wider exposure for the author and their website. Secondly, it provides valuable inbound links or IBL's.

Just like the other bum marketing strategies, article marketing is all about numbers. It's effectiveness relies on consistent and ongoing effort. A single article has limited benefit, however daily submissions have an overall benefit greater than the sum of its parts.

To get the most out of your article submission strategy, it's important to focus on one individual keyword or phrase for each individual article. It's also very important to optimize each article, in much the same way you would optimize a website. Once an article is submitted, it becomes a one-page mini site.

You optimize an article for the search engines the same way you would for a web page. Put your keyword or phrase in the article title, as the beginning of the first paragraph, the beginning of the last paragraph, and for the anchor text in your link or resource box.

By following a few simple steps, you will gain maximum return for your effort. As part of a multi-pronged approach, article marketing becomes an extremely effective and inexpensive technique in your arsenal.

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

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“):
