Article Marketing Plan: Surprisingly easy steps!

Article Marketing Key Steps: 

Article Marketing is an excellent way to get free search engine traffic. Article marketing can be a very rewarding website traffic generator, but you need an article marketing plan in place to be a success. Your plan should contain a certain number of articles to publish per month. The key element of an Article Marketing Plan to follow up. Do not get side tracked with excuses. 

For example we have a fishing site, and we send at least 1 article per week for fishing. An article may not sound like a lot but you are building links to these articles, which will last a lifetime. Also the quality and respectability are strong factors when writing articles. If you do not have a goal, which is recognized as an expert in your chosen "niche" so do not bother with article marketing. 

Also the article marketing is not a quick hit marketing technique that will get you 1000's of hits to your website. Your traffic will grow gradually over time. But we can guarantee that traffic will be quality targeted traffic. we have used article marketing for about two years now, and my sales have doubled. 

We  have identified below some of the most important steps you can use to develop your own marketing plan. 

# 1. Identify your "niche" market. Do not waste your time starting to write articles until you have completed this step. The more specific you are when you identify what you want to write about the better success you will have. 

# 2. Based on what you chose as your "niche market" you will now have to create a list of keywords associated with your choice. This list should not be less than 50 keywords. The more specific you can be with your sentences more website traffic you will generate to your website. (we would not recommend you start out targeting single keyword, select keyword phrases for your niche, two and three words in length. Concentrate on using keyword phrases that are two and three words in length.) To be honest with you, I've never done very well with a single keyword in my articles. It has been my experience that a single keyword is not for me to score high on search engines. If you have a small advertising budget, as most of us, we would suggest a great free keyword phrase generator, offered by Google AdWords. This service is free and you do not have to pay money. Just enter a single keyword, specific to your niche and the AdWords system will generate a phrase list with two, three and more words. Concentrate on using two and three word phrases for your article marketing activities. 

# 3. Now you're ready to start writing articles! What we do when we  write is just start writing what comes to mind that are relevant to the niche we have chosen. If you have to do some research to do before you start writing. This is also an excellent way to help you structure your articles. Start typing, insert your two and three word phrases as you go. When you write your articles make sure that you do not repeat your keyword phrase, but every 100 words. For example, if we were to write an article containing "crappie fishing" in my first paragraph so we could not repeat that sentence to 100 words. There are some twists you could use like mixing it up and instead of using the "crappie fishing you could use" crappie angling "Its up to you. Just do not repeat the same phrase in a 100 word counts that search engines penalize you for do it and your article will not perform well. There are ways to write your article using keywords, phrases, without compromising the quality of your article, as always proof read your article in at least several times before publishing. 

# 4. Your next and final step is to create and develop a good article directory list to submit your articles too. All the article directories are not created equal, so we suggest that you follow these simple steps, a list of the sites you want to undergo in a priority for Google ranking sequence. To get a list of folders, just do a search using the keyword "article directory" as your keyword. The results will give you 1000'nds of sites for use in developing your list. we Do proposes two very important article sites that are worth to mention that you must put at the top of your list, and they are ezinearticles.com and Searchwarp.com. Now prioritize those sites to my list, we use a free website ranking tool that works well for this application. Just go to Google and do a search with the keyword "Google website ranking tools" that should keep a list of sites that offer this tool. Or you can contact me and I'll send you the link to the tool we use. Concentrate your list of rankings of "6", "5", "4", "3". Article directories with these placements will give you as much website traffic. 

All people should do it! Good luck with your article marketing efforts can succeed come to you!
