Don’t Think – Act, Copy and Improve

Mikael — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:48:17 +0000

Do you ever find yourself thinking about how to do stuff, what could go wrong and whether or not the choice you have made for your online business is the right one? If so then congratulations! You’re far from being alone. Even very success businesspeople can have hours, days or weeks where they get into this non-productive state or doubt and thinking without doing. Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with using your mind to come up with great solutions and ideas but you will need to act for anything to ever happen. Yesterday I bought the new ebook launched by Mike Long called Article Bully. I mainly bought the report for two reasons. The first was that I use article marketing as one of my main sources for generating traffic and g... Read more

Lenses and Hubpages – The Brothers of Article Marketing

Mikael — Sun, 24 May 2009 20:11:37 +0000

Last week I wrote a few blog posts about the importance of working on getting incoming links to your new website and one of the best ways that I have found to do this if you are just starting out online is to go with the article marketing approach as you can start off slowly and still get visitors directly from the article directories even before your site starts to rank in the search engines. I don’t know if you are different from me but my guess is that what you want to see for your new website is as much traffic as you can get and preferably as quickly as you possibly can. Waiting weeks or months for traffic to show up because the search engines will need to index your site and then start to rank it where they find it appropriate. I ha... Read more

Did You Commit and Follow Through with Article Marketing?

Mikael — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:11:10 +0000

A little over a week ago I wrote a series of posts on how you can start building good incoming links to your website by using article marketing. One of the articles showed you how to get the most direct visitors with article marketing by copying what the professional are doing. If you’re only just starting out with your website and want to start getting some traffic to the site, article marketing is an easy way to get going. I believe I told you to start by just submitting one or two articles a week as that would be something that everyone would be able to find the time to do and it would create and natural amount of incoming links to your site. But the question is whether you actually did submit these two articles? As my report will tel... Read more

How to Get the Most Direct Visitors with Article Marketing

Mikael — Tue, 12 May 2009 04:13:37 +0000

I just want to brush up on my article about using articles for better search engine ranking where I talked about the backlinks not being the only advantage of using article marketing as a tool for better search engine placement. Providing quality content is definitely one of the best ways to get visitors to the article database to click the links in your article and come visit your site. But quality content is not enough. What you need is to write content that: Seems to give the solution to a problem that the reader has, but doesn’t Is written in a way that makes them taken action and come visit your site for the rest of the information Has an “author resource box” that will entice readers to click the links There are a ton of g...

Why Using the Same Article with Multiple Article Directories is Okay

Mikael — Sun, 10 May 2009 21:52:29 +0000

So now you know a little more about using articles to get better search engine rankings and you have hopefully paid attention to the additional benefits that article marketing can provide for you in terms of traffic and visitors that are more likely to convert. Next I want to briefly talk about a concept that I believe some online marketers are wrong about and why I think that is. If you have read a little about article marketing on other blogs and websites you have possibly read that you should never post the same article in multiple article directories because there is this scary thing called duplicate content (I’m trying to be sarcastic here). First of all duplicate content is not something that you should worry about as long as we are... Read more

Using Article Marketing to Get Better Ranking

Mikael — Sat, 09 May 2009 18:57:44 +0000

If you read my post yesterday you will find that I see article marketing as a very important first step to start achieving higher search engine rankings. I especially find it to be an effective way when you are just starting out with your first website but also if you have been building several websites. Article marketing will help you get your site indexed fairly quickly and it will also start providing you with visitors almost instantly. My personal favorite article directory is EzineArticles.com. It is one of the largest article databases online and you will often find that the articles on EA ranks highly for many good keywords. This means that EA gets a lot of traffic and that you will be able to get part of that traffic when people fin... Read more

How to Get Better Ranking with Links – EzineArticles

Mikael — Fri, 08 May 2009 13:59:31 +0000

Yesterday I talked about the basics of getting better ranking with incoming links and I said that I found that internal linking wasn’t as important as the incoming links. Some of my readers feel strongly about internal links and I would just like to point out that I AM NOT saying that internal linking isn’t beneficial to a site. What I AM saying is that internal linking is “just” a way to pass “link strength” around to benefit more pages on a site. Internal linking DOES NOT create additional strength to a site as a whole but INCOMING LINKS DOES. If you do not have any incoming links you will not have any link strength to pass around and therefore you will NOT benefit from any internal linking efforts you might do. But WHEN you ... Read more
