Articles: Time-Tested Business-Boosters

Since the dawn of media, article marketing has been a key element in the marketing mix.

Whether it was executives penning guest columns for a trade magazine or the local newspaper covering a new product launch, having your company’s name in print has always wielded major business-building power.

Fast forward to today. With the internet, the importance of article marketing has grown tenfold. Why? Because the quantity and quality of your site's inbound links are vital factors in determining your site's position in Google's results.

So, if you write superb content and publish it on your site - and other people link to it - your search engine rankings may improve.

Publish articles on other sites, include a link to your own web pages, and you’ve got another way to increase your site's visibility. The more links you have on other high traffic sites, the more likely you’ll be to attract visits to your own site.

Article marketing is a practical, effective way to create inbound links for your site - and it’s far less time-consuming than other link building strategies.

And the benefits go beyond SEO: publishing articles online helps you promote your products and services, position yourself as an expert in your field, and start a dialogue with valuable prospective customers and clients.
“So I’ll Hire Someone to Write 50 Articles for $20. Easy - Right?”

In recent years, many businesses have resorted to using “fast and cheap” article writing services to save time and money in their content marketing endeavors. Pay a small fee, flood the web with dozens of articles linking back to your site, and your search engine popularity will soar … right?

Not so fast. As of February 2011, a major change by Google has affected 12% of sites - and has cut many sites’ traffic in half.

This critical update to Google's algorithm - known as the Panda (or Farmer) update - means it's more important than ever that your site contains high quality content.

Stating, “… people searching on Google typically don't want to see shallow or poorly written content,” Google now penalizes article directories and others that are considered to be link farms. These sites often contain low quality articles - the type you’re likely to get from those inexpensive content writing vendors.

Article directories are now demanding expert-level quality before allowing you to publish your work on their sites. They've implemented much stricter standards. Likewise, other websites that use mass-published articles and other content on their sites may now start being exceptionally picky about which articles they reprint.

Suffice it to say that it’s no longer enough to simply employ articles as part of your overall marketing strategy. You must also make sure your articles are engaging, well-constructed and packed with value for your readers.


Here’s the Good News …

If you’re feeling mild panic starting to set in, rest easy. The fact is that you don’t need to hire a pricey PR firm or content creation agency to execute an effective article marketing strategy.

Rather, you can do it yourself (it’s easier than you think). In Wordtracker’s latest e-book, we outline a simple, step-by-step system for writing articles that fuel better business results. Read on to learn more!

Here’s a Sneak-Peek at What’s Inside the Book
CHAPTER 1: Who Are You Writing To? (And Why It Matters)

In this first chapter, Karon shows you how to research your audience using the latest social media techniques. You’ll be able to better understand who your reader is, their challenges and pain points, and the types of subject matter they’re really interested in reading about.

At the end of Chapter 1, you'll have the knowledge you need to create articles that truly strike a chord. After all, the more you know about your readers' wants and needs, the more irresistible your writing will be to them!
CHAPTER 2: Choose Article Styles That Deliver the Best Results

To get the optimal return from your article marketing efforts, you need to be familiar with the different styles of articles and, more importantly, which styles are best suited to certain situations.

In Chapter 2, Karon explains the two types and 26 styles of tried-and-true articles - known to deliver excellent results for businesses - from News, Reviews and Human Interest to Case Studies, Analysis and How-Tos.

She even gives you real-life examples - so you can easily emulate the style you’re after. And with each article style, Karon reveals her “secret for success” to help you avoid common mistakes and create a piece that really delivers!
CHAPTER 3: Planning Your Content & Creating an Endless List of Topics

Truth be told, planning is the not-so-sexy underside of successful article writing. Telling content creators that they have to plan is a bit like telling your child he has to clean his room.

But the fact is that regardless of what you're creating (articles, copy, blog posts, etc.), it’s likely to turn out better when you put some time into the planning phase. In this chapter, Karon looks at simple, effective tips for:

• Finding out exactly what your followers want
• Generating juicy topic ideas - anywhere, anytime
• Creating an easy-to-stick-to editorial calendar
• Maintaining the ideal article-publishing momentum
CHAPTER 4: Optimizing Articles for the Search Engines

When it comes to writing online content, it makes sense to include SEO as part of your creation process. But if you want your articles to be prominent in Google’s listings, you're going to need a sound optimization plan.

In Chapter 4, Karon outlines a concise, foolproof search engine optimization method you can follow every time you publish an article.

You’ll learn:

• How to find the keywords your prospects and customers are using
• How to select the best keywords for each article you write
• Exactly where to place those keywords for maximum results
• Whether to use articles on your own site, distribute them elsewhere, or both
CHAPTER 5: Structuring Your Articles for Easy Completion

Compelling, well-written articles don’t just happen by accident. Rather, they follow a strategic structure that pulls readers through until the very last word.

Throughout this chapter, Karon shows you how to plan the framework of your articles so that they produce stellar results. She explains:

• What causes some articles to succeed while others fall short
• The ideal length for your articles
• Why narrow topics win hands-down over broad ones
• The ground rules for creating a piece that’s easy to follow
• The right way to code your inbound keyword links

Karon also shows you how to write an effective and engaging “About the Author” blurb for your articles. She even includes “before and after” versions of real-life bios found online.
CHAPTER 6: Creating Enticing Titles & Opening Paragraphs**

What exactly is it that makes an article title stop a person's roving eyes and command them to keep reading?

In Chapter 6, Karon breaks down the components of an engaging title - and demonstrates a variety of attention-grabbing styles you can use to draw in readers by the dozens. You’ll see examples of headlines that work - and those that fail miserably.

Then, once your title is set, you can move on to the second most important element of your article: the opening paragraph. Karon outlines the DOs and DON’Ts of creating captivating opening paragraphs using examples pulled straight from the web.
CHAPTER 7: Writing Articles that Beg to Be Reprinted

Getting your articles reprinted or quoted by heavy-hitters in your field should be the ultimate goal of any marketer. In addition to garnering you far more traffic that’s targeted to your niche, you’ll be introduced to fresh new audiences you might not otherwise have had access to.

What’s more, since reprinting someone else's article is synonymous with offering an endorsement, you also develop a great deal of instant trust with the new target segment you've found yourself in front of.

In Chapter 7, Karon outlines a simple 4-step process for writing reprint-worthy articles that:

• Flow logically and accomplish a specific goal
• Present a professional image to the reader
• Make the reader feel as if they’ve learned something of value

She even gives you hints for creating a seamless closing to your piece - a feat that can be tricky for even the most seasoned content creators.
CHAPTER 8: Publishing Your Work: The Right and Wrong Way to Distribute Articles

At the core of every triumphant article marketing effort is a solid list of article distribution sites. These sites, in fact, are the very heart of your campaign. Select high quality sites, and you’ll reap the rewards. But choose unwisely, and your marketing initiative can be derailed before it’s even begun.

In this final chapter, Karon divulges:

• A surefire method for assessing the quality of the sites you're distributing to
• A site selection worksheet that helps you quickly evaluate sites so you can target the ones that will bring the most search engine benefit
• A list of high-quality sites that accept article submissions and have proven their worth time and again. (Trust us: this list alone justifies the price of the book!)
