Anyone here outsource their article marketing? I don't know how good the backlinks are. However, it seems like you could get some steady traffic if you target the low-competition keywords, bum marketing style.
If you are submitting the articles to high-authority, high pr article directories, the backlinks can be very powerful. I've had a single page squeeze page go to page one in Google on multiple related and highly searched keyword phrases just by using article marketing and including my anchor text in the bio boxes. Hope this helps.
That's awesome. I didn't think article marketing could pull that much authority in the SERPs. Which article directories do you submit to? And do you rewrite that article every time you submit?
I use unique articles submitted directly to Ezine Articles, and then have other articles (or a rewrite) mass submitted to multiple publishers through an ArticleMarketer account. I change up the anchor text and surrounding text for the "bio box" of each article too . Hope this helps.
You should use different versions of your articles and submit them to high PR directories. The best directories will get you a lot of traffic. Use different anchor text to your pages. 3 of the best are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com and articledashboard.com. There are many more.
How different? I mean how much should an article be changed so it's looked at as unique in each article directory?
I think if you at least rewrite the 1st and last paragraphs of your article completely, then switch up a few sentences in the main body of your article and you should be fine. I've done this a few times and I've run into no problems
Yeah, I haven't started yet but I'm definitely considering a massive "bum marketing style" campaign. With these low prices It could definitely benefit me greatly if I outsourced my article writing. I'm going to try and write most of the articles I keep on my site but when I get ready to expand and move on to different sites bum marketing might just allow me to keep giving the sites fresh content/links when I no longer have time to do it myself. [Sorry if this isn't a righteous bump.]
bum marketing is something I've been using quite a lot...many of my articles rank #1 or at least top 10 for the targeted keyword, which is great. as for outsourcing my article marketing, the most "outsourcing" I do is occassionally rewriting PLR articles to my own liking.
When you're doing articles, make sure you use unique content, you can generally get 2/3 links in the article or the bio box, use the correct anchor text and you'll be ok. For non competitive keywords it's a good way to easily get onto the first page but if you're looking at more generic or competitive terms, you'll need to combine it with lin kexchanges/purchases, maybe a bit of forum posting and some press releases. Remember, it's not the article itself that you are trying to get to the top, it's the links within that hold the value for the target page on your site.
I had use to outsource article writing it had cost me about $10 for a fairly decent article that was well written. This method had gained me some fairly high quality and targeted backlinks. The traffic gained from the articles didnt really make real impact. But any target traffic is good enough.
I regularly outsource my article writing and have built a good team of writers who I trust. My advice is be very careful with who you hire. Insist on some unedited test articles before you commit any funds. www.elance.com is a great source for quality writers.
I've never done any article submissions myself, but it does sound promising from what I've heard here. It's just a matter of putting aside time to do it, that's all!
