Understanding Online Article Marketing and Setting The Proper Goals for Your Business
Article marketing is not the same for everyone.
Each article marketer indeed has a different type of business and needs to understand that their strategies might be quite a bit different.
For instance if someone is writing articles for a home based business, which sells hand crafted goods then their strategy would be completely different from someone like me who is interested in locating creative geniuses to join our Online Think Tank.
In the first example a seller of hand crafted wares would be writing online articles to drive traffic to their website, which is what I started to do to bring people to my online think tank.
It worked very well.
Too well, I had too many hits to our website, often crashing my site during peak periods.
I guess 10,000 articles can do something like that? Now remember with all my articles having been syndicated and my average of 355 article views per article on one online article submission site alone and with an average of 9 other places for each article and perhaps 350 average article views there.
Then you could estimate that if I have 3.
5 million article views times 9 or 31,500,000 article views.
So, imagine an intellectual article propelling thought and a reader interested in reading it? The click through rate would be unbelievable.
Just like your articles, highly targeted to the viewers interest when they come in through a search engine.
And since I have articles on nearly every subject, imagine the diversity of interest? Good, yes too good.
So, I removed many of my bylines from most of my articles.
Now then writing articles for a hand crafted artwork website one must consider to target market their clientele and not simply just write articles about everything.
For an Online Article Think Tank site, which deals with 200 different subject matters it might make sense to write about everything under the sun and then some, however for an artwork site, I think the other strategy is sound.
For the small home business online article marketer and writer, I would recommend that you only post on high-traffic article online submission sites.
How can you know? Well a good rule of thumb is to only post on sites, which have been around since or before 2000.
New sites unless HUGE, usually do not pull with the search engines, meaning the number of article views maybe somewhat irrelevant for your goals.
I hope this article will propel thought in 2007.
