What are you doing to stay relevant - Article Marketing

          

What are you doing to stay relevant on the Internet?  What are you doing to set yourself apart from the masses?  With 508,887,286 Internet users just in the Americas and 1,758,346,456 Internet users throughout the rest of the world – what are you doing to stay noticed – fresh- and new?  These numbers are HUGE!!! If you think of these numbers in reflection to your potential outreach in clientele, it can really make you feel small in the larger scheme of things and in business – even smaller!

Out of the 508,887,286 Internet users 78.6% of them are from North America.  The Asian population of internet users is astronomical!  I am not even going to touch on that but if you are an Internet based business and have the potential to service world wide – that potential market is HUGE!!!

I am bringing these numbers to the forefront for a very good reason!  Allow me to explain.  With probably the number one resource for networking being the Internet, it is the most underutilized tool or not utilized properly.  The social media platforms alone can make a business stand out if “worked”.  I put “worked” in for a reason – with that being – if you have a business you know what a huge commodity time is and that there is never enough of it! In order to fully utilize Social Media to its maximum potential you have got to put the work into it and that means being online 24/7 (to cover all time zones).  Not only would you have to be online 24/7 but you also have to reach out to people.  You HAVE TO INTERACT!!!  Not just accept a “like” on a status – but respond to people – go to others pages and comment-comment- COMMENT!  Make your presence NOTICED!!!  Unfortunately, that is very unrealistic for most businesses, especially the 24/7.  You would have to have a dedicated team willing to take turns and actually work the social media end of your business or outsource it which can become very costly.  

However, there are other ways you can stay relevant on the Internet and capture more traffic to your website.  One way is keeping your content fresh and new.  Keeping your webpage fresh with new content is one way as well as article marketing.  Both give search engines fresh stuff to crawl and help identify who you are and what you are about!  (This also helps in your page ranking when someone goes to search for your niche on the web.)  

Everyone who has a website knows what webpage content is about however not all really grasp the concept of article marketing.  Article marketing has an enormous potential in helping you gain major traffic to your website! 

WHY you ask?  For several reasons – the first one being the most obvious – it gives search engines fresh material to crawl to help index you on the web.  In addition to that it

• Educates
• Provides back links to your website
• Strengthens your brand
• Creates an expert status for you in your field
• Reaches other consumers that you are not connecting to via the numerous Social Media outlets. 

Allow me to make myself clear on this though.  Utilizing article marketing has to be a constant – it cannot be a fly by night style of marketing.  Having an article posted a few times a year is not going to help you much.  Yes, it will provide you a valuable backlink if posted on a higher ranked article marketing site such as Ezine, but it is not going to greatly increase your traffic, improve your branding, or help you gain an expert status in your potential consumer’s eyes.  You have got to be consistent as with anything you do in marketing. 

If you budget for at least 4 articles a month even to be submitted to an article marketing site, you will stay fresh and increase your traffic.  Ten is better; however 25 to 50 is a strong article marketing campaign.  Yet, in a startup phase that can be difficult to manage into one’s budget unless you are writing them yourself as well as submitting them – which anyone can do yet seldom take advantage of it.  This is where ArticleWriteUp.com comes into the picture.  With a staff of over 20 writers sitting on standby just for your business, we can write educational articles related to your niche to help reach those hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of consumers that don’t even know you exist!  With our strong SEO (search engine optimization) background, we write your articles so they do 10 things for you and your business:

How To Get Googled

When done effectively, SEO writing is an easy way for businesses to drive traffic to their website and increase sales.  SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and SEO writing is a way to grab the attention of search engine indexes to increase the natural page ranking in search results.

While the rest of the world is eating, sleeping, and working, search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, have bots out crawling the web in search of information.  These bots can’t see a picture, watch a video, or listen to a podcast, but they can read.  As they read they index all the text they find, making note of phrases and keywords.  Websites rich in these common keywords will show up higher in the search results, as they are more relevant.  This increases the chances of that site being visited.  With an average of over 17 billion searches being done every month, effective SEO articles and quality SEO writing are becoming a hot commodity.

It is not as simple as cramming as many keywords as possible into an SEO article and putting it on the web.  While that may help with search results, the ultimate goal is to get the consumer to click on the link that leads to the website, and actually spend time there.  To accomplish this, an SEO article must also be rich in content—they must be written about something the consumer wants to read about, and done in a professional fashion.

A key to boosting your organic search results is to include the keywords customers will be searching for in the first few lines of the SEO article.  If, for example, a business provides cat-herding services, they would want to put the key words ‘cat’ and ‘herding’ at the beginning of their article, and provide useful information for the reader (and not just a sales-pitch for their services).  A sample lead-in might read like this: “Although it’s no field for the faint of heart, the world of cat-herding can be an incredibly rewarding calling for lovers of our feline friends.” 

Web-crawling bots, much like humans, get bored easily, so including the keywords early on assures grabbing their attention.  SEO writing must also be the right length: too short and the content will not have enough substance; too long and the reader will get bored and move on.

The Distractions are killing my writing concentration...

If you write, you have been there, where it seems like anything and everything is making your mind stray.  The TV can start sounding louder and louder from rooms away.  The phone ringing can be like nails on a chalk board.  A child’s plea for food can send you over the top.  When you are stuck, any interruption can seem like a train running straight at ya’ ready to plow you down.  So how do you eliminate these distractions and others short from a sledge hammer through the TV -  then used to smash your phone, and gagging your child with a dirty sock?
