Article marketing is so useful for so many different things online, but one of the most effective is getting high search engine rankings.
The way the article marketing works to get you high search engine rankings is by giving you multiple backlinks to your web site, which when properly structured and placed, can increase your search engine rankings.
You see, one of the things the search engines look for in trying to determine where to place your web site in the rankings for a specific keyword, is how many others sites choose to link into yours.
Well, when you write articles, add text anchor links with the text anchor as the keyword for which you wish to rank highly, and submit them to the article directories, when they publish them you get a link back to your site, optimized for your keyword.
One suggestion here: be sure an vary the text on about 20-25% of the text anchor links you create for each page which you are trying to get ranked. If 100% of them are the same, the search engines may (I repeat, MAY) think that you are spamming for rankings – which is not the case – you are submitting articles via the normal, recognized, and white hat method of article submission.
Note: On one count, I have seen as many as 900 article directories – but I would only submit to the top 300 or so, the ones with positive page rank – the others probably won’t help you much – they shouldn’t hurt you, but why waste the time submitting to those if they won’t help you?
