Author : Chris EllingtonFinding an article submission service that fits your needs can be very tedious Researching various companies is hard work but the benefits may be overwhelming On the same note, lack of research can prove detrimental to the success of your marketing program

The Money Factor

The first thing that usually comes to mind when dealing with paid services is the cost It’s very important to remember the old adage “You get what you pay for ” When you choose to rely on the cheapest service you find, you are doomed to dissatisfaction from the beginning The same is often true when prices are outrageous

People tend to obsess over prices but quality must be the main focus Quality gives a good return on investments Return on investment is one of the first rules of investment strategies You wouldn’t hire a typical applicant for an above typical job Article submission is no exception to this rule Don’t go the cheap or free route if you expect higher than typical results

Automated Article Distribution

Many services rely entirely on automation They submit your articles without making sure they meet publisher’s standards If your article is submitted to a site that will only reject it, you are throwing money away and wasting valuable time A company that cares about your success personally reviews your articles to ensure quality Their coaches tell you what to fix so that your articles will not be turned away

Automation may also mean your content is distributed only when it is submitted The best distribution services continue to distribute your archived articles to new publishers that subscribe after your article was initially released

This prevents your articles from being sent out one time and then forgotten Continuous and never ending distribution steadily builds new back links and ensures both deep and wide article exposure

Reports

Knowing where your articles are being submitted is of great importance If the sites hosting your content are not indexed by search engines, you are wasting your money Many fly-by-night services will create dummy sites They submit your articles to these dummy sites and pretend to be doing you a great favor These practices are very dishonest You should be wary of any provider who refuses to give details of your submissions

The article submission company that you choose should offer real time statistics and easy to read reports These statistics should include not only where your article was submitted, but also where it’s actually published These statistics allow you to ensure your articles are being used in locations that drive traffic to your business

Relevancy, Depth and Reach

If your articles are published on niche sites or in e-zines that have nothing to do with your product, there will be no benefits Irrelevant links are a waste of your precious time and effort Make sure that the company you choose targets specific categories If they only submit by broadcast to publishers who seem to specialize in everything maybe it’s time to find a new provider

When making your decision on a distribution service for you business, keep all of these factors in mind Select an affordable, dependable service that distributes wide and deep Keep your content alive and producing backlinks for the long haul with continuous and never ending distribution You owe it to your business and your wallet as well Chris Ellington is CEO of IPNM, the parent company of Article Marketer: first choice for article distribution by article marketers around the world.

Author : Obinna HecheIndeed, just about all webmasters know that Adsense generates a considerable source of additional advertising income That is why most of them utilize it to go after high paying keywords They possess with them the lists that tells what the keywords are and have already used every means possible to identify them But then, after positioning these supposed to be high paying keywords into their web pages, the money they expected to roll in is not really coming in What are they doing wrong? In fact, having these pages with the proper keywords is one thing, but driving visitors to those pages is another thing and often the main thing that is lacking

The thing is, to get visitors to your high paying keyword pages, you need to optimize your sites navigation Think about how visitors are using your website After a visitor has landed on a certain page, they have the tendency to click on another page that sounds interesting They get there because of the other links that show up on a page that they initially landed on This is site navigation Basically, it is all about enabling visitors to move about your site and this is just one way of maximizing your Adsense earnings A typical website have menu links on each page The wording on these links is what gets a visitors attention and gets them to click on one of the links that will take them to another page of that website Links that have free or download have proven to be good attention grabbers

For sure, this navigation idea can also be applied to driving traffic to your high paying pages There are many websites that are getting a lot of traffic from search engines but have low earnings in terms of profits The basic trick is to try and use some cleverly labeled links to get the visitors off that pages and navigate them to the higher earning ones This is indeed, one big way of turning real cheap clicks to real dollars But, before you begin testing if this same idea will work for you and your website, you will need to have two things Something, probably a software to track and compare, and some high earning pages you want to channel your site traffic to An option is to select a few of your frequently visited pages This is ensuring fast result to come by

However, the next thing to do is think of ways to get visitors viewing a particular page to try and click on the link that will take them to your high earning pages Make sure to come up with a catchy and unique description for the link Think of something that people do not get to see everyday That will surely trigger their curiosity enough to try and see what that was all about Also, you can use graphics to grab your readers attention There is no limitation to what you can do so that your link can be seen If you are after the success of your site, you will do everything necessary just to achieve that goal

In case you do not know, as far as many Adsense advertisers are concerned, there are no written and unwritten laws to follow regarding what they write Just as long as you do not overstep the guidelines of the search engines Nevertheless, remember that it is all about location Once the perfect attention grabbing description has been achieved, you have to identify the perfect spot on your page to position that descriptive link to your high paying pages There is nothing wrong with visiting other websites to see how they are going about maximizing their site navigation Hot pages or most read lists are very common and overly used already Make sure you know the ones that many websites are using and do not try to imitate them

Finally, another way of doing it is to try and use different texts on different pages That way you will see the ones that work and what does not Try to mix things around also Put up links on top and sometimes on the bottom too This is surely how you go about testing which ones get more clicks and which ones are being ignored Let the testing begin Keep testing and tracking until you find the site navigation style that works best for you site Obinna Heche is an acknowledged expert in his field and resides in California USA.

Author : Uchenna Ani-OkoyeTo all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to begin digging up those productive writing achievements from the grave With modern day technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most impressive techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers

This is why article writing, submissions and publications are becoming very common There are already numerous tools that people could use to make the method of distributing their articles more easily

Let us take a look 1st at the common mistakes that some groups make before submitting their articles to writing directories:

1 Are you unclear about the rationale to promote the articles together with the rationale to write them? In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, product creation and promotion, which are all parts of your optimization efforts

But there is only one rationale why you pen an article, and that is to show your audience If the article is not appealing on this first and most weighty point, it will fail to achieve the three advertising benefits because no one will be interested in observing it You need to figure out 1st how to get groups to read what is in your writing, and then make them click on your resource box You can attain this by producing useful content

2 Forgetting to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing You might recognize already that your articles could help you create further links back to your site But do you know that you may get more visitors and better search engine results from those same articles?

Acknowledge keywords at strategic places Just be sure not to overdo them Some are still employing anchor texts which are a good method But it is important to know that a lot of directories are not able to sustain this

But these things do not put much money in your sac There are other factors that may turn your writing marketing efforts into a chance that may boost your earnings Not just grow the number of visitors to your site

Always start out with a plan and see to it that your article will serve the function that you written it for

3 Publishing content that does not aid your readers
Maybe you have had the thought that all you need is an article with a link back to your website, and you will get visitors, Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to receive your content automatically Oftentimes, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting

You may double the number of sites you submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase the amount of visitors you can get

In the end, it is all really a case of picking from your side of thing so You could begin getting a little exposure from links back to your site on a very basic level Or get monumental exposure from a little more time making quality articles Uchenna Ani-Okoye is an internet marketing advisor

Author : Mikko KorhonenAn opt-in list can be quite crucial to any site or internet based company Even for a small venture such as a niche profit site an opt-in list can make a world of difference and also add some extra income for your pocket Rarely would you see an e-commerce site, big or small, that is without an opt-in list

An opt-in list allows for a company to market their wares and site via an e-mail With an opt-in list, a site and a subscriber consents to sending and receiving a newsletter from your company Through this, you can keep your subscribers abreast of what is currently available in your site as well as whatever is coming out

And because there is mutual consent between the two parties, any mail sent to the list is not considered as spam mail There is a great number of successfully read promotional materials such as catalogs, newsletters and such that are sent because the subscribers themselves have signed up for them, meaning, they do want to be sent those items

Building a list is crucial, only a small percentage actually subscribes for an opt-in list Many people find promotional mails annoying but of you provide a good newsletter or promotional material, you will see your list build up and grow You can also achieve this by having good content on your site If people like what they see and read on your site, then they surely would want more Newsletters would be a way to attract them back to your site A little teaser or appetizer if you will

But other than marketing your wares and your services, an opt-in list can also be used to earn extra profit Not all lists can be used though It would be good to first build a successful list with a huge number of subscribers The more subscribers you have, the more money you can get Here are seven ways to make money using nothing more than your list

1) Place advertisements There are many corporations who will be willing to pay to put their banners and ads on a list with many subscribers Selling or renting out lists is not a good idea so rather than doing that, many companies would just rather place ads with lists that have a huge subscriber base Your newsletter could be placed with many ads and each one spells money

2) Have affiliations with other companies that have at least a semblance or relation to what your site is about Here other companies will provide links and brief descriptions of what they offer, products and services With every click made on the link that directs or leads a subscriber from your list to their site, the company will pay you This P4P or pay for performance

3) Make deals with other companies by asking for a small percentage of sales done through your list With every sale done by customers that have come from your list and have gone there because of your newsletter, the other company will pay you a small percentage of your sales The more people who buys from them, the more earnings you get

4) You may also get products from other sites on a consignment basis and sell them to your list via your newsletter Place descriptions, articles and photos of the product in your newsletter There will be those who will buy from you and when that happens, you can order the product from the other site and sell it to your buyer

5) Sell e-books or a compilation of your articles on your list Manuals and how-to articles are in great demand Many people will be willing to shell out money to gain knowledge about a certain topic and subject With your existing list trusting your expertise in that area, an e-book could be offered and sold or used as an incentive

6) Create a network out of your list Get people to invite more people to view your site and subscribe to your list The larger your list is, the more people will be able to click on your links and affiliate links as well as make your advertisement rates higher

7) Subscribers are willing to pay for information if they know that it can be trusted and relied upon Use your list to get more and more people to subscribe to you as well as browse your site Lastly, you can use your list to earn money by making them your partners Your list will be the bloodline of your growth and increase Author is publisher of the site Ez Article Marketing, a site with information and tools for Internet Marketers.
