How To Harness The Power Of Internet Viral Marketing with Article Marketing.

Article marketing has been one of the most popular free internet marketing strategies for years. Originally, it was used to gain exposure to target audiences through email newsletters. The strategy has changed significantly since then.

Today, article marketing can be used to build your brand, gain powerful incoming links to your websites, and ultimately, drive targeted traffic. Unfortunately, most marketers are failing to harness its true power.

Today, I’m going to explain how you can use internet viral marketing with article marketing to build a growing funnel of free, targeted, traffic to your website. I’ll describe some of the best ways to use the strategy and why its potential is largely underestimated.

Getting More Exposure

People look online for information; their appetite is insatiable. They’ll search Google for anything that is related to their problem or passion. If they find an article that you’ve written which informs or entertains them, they’ll remember your name. If they stumble upon several articles that you’ve written, their memory will continue to build. Before long, they’ll begin searching Google specifically for your content.

This is the point at which most article marketers allow the opportunity to slip through their fingers. They focus solely upon submitting their content to article directories. You can increase your exposure tenfold by distributing your content elsewhere.

For example, popular blogs in your market might accept guest blog posts. Associations that are related to your website’s topic might accept articles on their site. Online stores are often starved for well-written content. Each of these websites are an opportunity for you to spread your name wider for more exposure.

Building Incoming Links

It’s impossible to ignore the value of article marketing in building inbound links to your site. It’s one of the most effective search engine optimization strategies that you can leverage. But, once again, most marketers fail to use their content to its greatest potential. After submitting their article to as many directories as they can find, they shelve its distribution.

That’s an enormous mistake.

The search engines look at your website’s link profile in order to judge its value compared to other sites in your market. The greater the number of related websites that link to your own, the more valuable they consider your site. Article marketing, when used properly, leverages this factor in the search engines’ algorithm. By distributing your content across many different types of properties (as opposed to only article directories), the breadth of your link profile grows.

Closing The Circle

There is one critical piece that can sabotage your article marketing campaigns: poorly-written content. For years, thousands of marketers have shoved millions of badly-crafted articles onto the internet. The popularity of blogging has worsened the problem since anyone with a keyboard can participate. The result has been a growing lack of confidence among readers.

You can use this to your advantage.

Imagine feeling exhausted and frustrated after a fruitless search for compelling content about your passion. Suddenly, you uncover a well-written article that you enjoy reading. Chances are, you’ll remember the author’s name and visit her website.

You can be that author. And when you’re taking the time to distribute well-written content to a variety of popular sites and blogs, you’ll gain a loyal following. Exposure, links, and targeted traffic… that’s how you harness the true power of internet viral marketing with article marketing.

There’s another element that you can add to in order unleash the potential of your content. We’ll cover that soon.
