Why Is Article Writing Important For Internet Marketers?

By Sharon Doucet

Article writing is the most powerful internet marketing strategy of all. Well written articles attract highly targeted traffic to your web site. As an Internet Marketer, highly targeted traffic is the key to getting your share of digital gold.

There are still only a relatively small number of internet marketers who actually understand why article marketing is such a powerful strategy for marketing. For others it may seem to be just another piece of work they just can not be bothered to, or afraid to, undertake as they do not see much value in writing articles. Listed below are 7 very valid reasons why internet marketers should write articles on a regular basis.

1. Free Advertising:

When an article has good content (valuable information) you are providing service to readers who are searching for specific information. By including your name and site link in the resource box you enable the reader to visit your site and perhaps purchase from you. It costs you absolutely no money to get your article published on the internet.

2. Your Name Becomes Known:

Informative articles, with your name attached as the author, attracts attention. When you have people’s attention your name starts to circulate around the internet. Your name then becomes associated with valuable information and you have effectively branded yourself as an expert.

3. You Establish a Reputation:

By providing excellent, relevant and original articles you create a good impression on your prospects. You start to be seen as an expert in your field and this in turn drives even more people to your site who will be eager to do business with you.

4. Get Natural Traffic:

Well written articles that are keyword rich can greatly improve search engine rankings for you. This is the way to drive natural traffic to your site. A word of caution, key words must be used with relevant information otherwise you will lose credibility as an author.

5. Link Popularity To Your Site Increases:

By simply submitting your articles to other sites, and including your name and link in the resource box, you will automatically get link partners. This means that you do not have to spend hours and hours hunting and asking webmasters for reciprocal links. Link popularity is also a determining factor in search engine rankings.

6. Enhance Your Credibility:

Articles do receive feedback from others. Record the positive feedback and comments your receive, and then you can include them on your site, in your promotional material and advertising. This will make a good impression on prospects as well as build loyalty with your existing client base. When you gain more credibility you will also be drawing in more prospects.

7. Long Term Profit:

Once your article is published on the internet, in e-zines, article sites, on someone's blog or website, it usually stay there forever. That means that these articles will still draw clients on a regular basis for years to come. How is that for free lifetime advertising?

Article marketing is a powerful tool for internet marketers. It is not the fastest way to create your digital gold, but it is a steady way to build your business with highly targeted traffic that will do business with you time and again if you provide good products, relevant information and great service. Article marketing is a very solid and powerful internet marketing strategy.

The Most Crucial Requirement For Internet Marketers

By Sharon Doucet

Do you know what the most crucial thing an Internet Marketer needs in order to find their digital gold by working from home in Internet Marketing? If you ask any number of Internet Marketers this question you would probably get just as many different answers.

They would tell you that the first thing you require is a web site, or a hot selling affiliate program, or a product of your own creation. Others might tell you first must start with information on how to build a business on line.

Well, you will require all of these things and much more eventually. But, there is one thing that is absolutely crucial to your success in finding digital gold in Internet Marketing, one thing that will ensure your success, but it seems so very hard for so many people to achieve.

That one crucial requirement is called PERSISTENCE. Webster's dictionary defines persistence as "to continue in a state or action in spite of obstacles or objections". Persistence means not giving up your dreams of making money on line working from home because everyone thinks you lost your mind. It means working hard getting your Internet business set up, advertising, learning, asking questions and pushing yourself through both the good and the bad times you will encounter.

It is highly unlikely that you will realize a huge influx of digital gold in your first week of business, or your first month and perhaps not even by the sixth month, but do not give up just before you strike your digital gold mine. Your income should increase each month and if it does then keep on working and seeking more knowledge and help to help you gain more digital gold. Persist in what you are doing. But remember if you persist at doing nothing to grow you Internet business you will get exactly what you put in -- nothing.

Persistence is a habit that you need to develop if you desire to win in any aspect of your live. Below I have listed four simple steps which will help you develop the habit of persistence.

1) You need to have a definite purpose backed up by a burning desire to have it fulfilled. You have to have a genuine determination to take action until you succeed.

2). You need to have a definite plan of action with concrete steps to take and firm timelines you are determined to follow.

3). You need to shut your mind to all negative and discouraging influences around you. This includes family, friends, yourself and anyone else who are negative or discouraging towards your endeavors.

4). You must find and be in continuous communication with one or more people (a mastermind group) who will encourage you and help you to follow through with your purpose and plan.

There are millions of people who search for information on how to make money working from home in Internet Marketing every month. Statistics show that 97% of these people never find their digital gold mine, they give up too soon. Why don't you be one of the 3% who develop the habit of persistence and strike digital gold with Internet Marketing?

Importance of Your Website Coming at Good Position in SERP!

By Alok Vats

Being an owner of a website is a matter of proud for most of us. A genuine question arises that what is the use of the website, if your website is not getting the visitors?

The question is fair enough. If no one (other than you and your near one) is coming to visit your website, then that website is useless. Let me explain this line.

A website in general provides three type of things, one is Service, second is Information and the third is Product. Now in the first case, if your website is providing any services then what is the use of that website if no one is coming to use that service? Again in the case of an informational website, if no one is going to read your informational articles then what is the use of that website? For the third type of website, it is quite obvious that if no one is purchasing the product then that website is quite useless.

Other than these, there are a financial issue too attached with the website. There are so many websites which provide a way to earn from your website, like Google Adsense, Widgetbucks, etc. And there are so many websites which provide us the opportunity to earn cash from home, or from your website, or working part time from your home etc. etc. Also we can earn money from becoming the affiliate of any good website.

Now, if your website is attached with any of these earn money from your website offer, then still you won’t be able to earn anything if no visitors are coming to your website. Otherwise if our website is an affiliate of a website, then also we are not going to get anything unless we can sell their products from our website. And if our website is not getting visitors, then how come we think about converting them into customer.

So ultimately, a visitor for a website is like having life in any human being. If a human being has no life then he is dead. In the same way, if the website has no visitor then the website is also dead.

So, ultimately we all require visitors for our website. Now a big question arises: How? How can we get visitors? There are so many ways. One way is to run PPC (pay per click) campaigns like Google Adwords. If we are having a good budget then we can utilize that budget by spending them on Adwords and by this way we can get visitors.

Next way is to submit your website in directories. There are so many web directories available in the net from where we can get visitors by submitting our website in the proper category. Now if someone reach that website for a search for that particular category, then there is a chance that he or she can visit our website.

Next way to get visitors is to write down some informative article and submit those in some good sites which accept articles written by others, like ezinearticles, goarticles, articledashboard, etc. (*also articlehighlight – editor). These websites are commonly known for the visitors who really want to study good content. So, if they like the article written by you then there is a higher probability that they will surely visit your website.

Here is one more way to get visitors for your website. You can submit the news related to your website to the social bookmarking sites and you are sure to get visitors from there.

Is there any other way to get visitors? Well, there are so many ways but the most important and the simplest way of getting visitors is from Search Engines. Suppose if your website is providing information about car and someone comes to Google and searches Car Review and your website came at the very first page of the SERP (*search engine results page – editor), then it is quite obvious that he will visit your website.

What if your website is coming at the very first page of all the searches related to your main keyword? Obviously your website will automatically get lots and lots of targeted traffic. Targeted in the sense since the people who are visiting your website were those who were searching for that particular thing only.

So, that’s all the importance of your website coming good at SERP. It is really not a small thing to reach to the top position for each and every keyword related to your industry. It requires lots of time, and proper search engine optimization.
