Let me start with mine. i am rookie though : ) but here it goes Site: ecommerce 1. comparison marketing 2. PPC 3. Banner advertisement in Forums 4. Coupons 5. articles
How much traffic are you getting off of your article marketing efforts, if you do not mind me asking? I recently started doing this, have submitted about eight articles over the past week and a half. I have not seen a ton of traffic as a result. I know it is a little soon to be expecting something but curious to see how well other people do with article marketing.
Keyword/s analysis - study the keywords that score the highest search rates in the niche that the site covers. Target keywords that have a good search rate and low competition if possible. This research usually takes a lot of time and if performed properly it gives quite decent results. Using the keyword/s - Use the keyword/s that you have found during the keyword analysis on a page of your web site that is especially dedicated to this keyword. Star promoting this new page like CRAZY ! You can either use bookmarking sites, directories or social networks. Don't forget to use the keyword as a tag anywhere you describe the page. Forums - commenting and contributing to forums that share the topic of your page is really good way to make a site popular. Always make sure that you have something of value to say otherwise people won't be reluctant to click on the link in your signature. Spreading the Buzz - creating pages on sites like Gather, Zimbio, WetPaint Wiki, HubPages and Squidoo will make it even easier for you to reach as many people as possible. You can link these pages together if you like but in such a scenario you will have to make sure that each one of them has unique content that covers the same niche. Don't just write one article and post it on all these pages. Make it look like these resources are form different authors if possible. Having yours and others site on these pages will make it look more genuine to the visitors. Blogs - blog commenting is an essential part from this process. You have the chance to steal some readers from other bloggers by posting useful and thought provoking comments on their blogs.

Believe it or not the only way I have been doing it in the past few months has been articles untill recently I discoverd a new way of advertising which I wrote on a blog. You can check my signiture below for that. To be honest I stoped writing articles for a few weeks just to test it all out and the resutls are amazing. I submit an email ad, press a submit button and go on my way. I do spend sometime reading other peoples ads in an email but no more than 30 to 40 minutes then I am gone. I feel free and easy these days. Article writing is very good to be honest but its work.
