Internet marketing website promotion is the next step in your marketing activities following your Search Engine Optimization (SEO) actions. While proper SEO must be accomplished while building your site or constructing your blog, your Internet marketing website promotion picks up from there and aims to drive targeted traffic to your new site.

Internet sales and marketing require vast numbers of targeted prospects to be successful, and business article marketing should be a major part of your internet marketing website promotion efforts. The best article marketing strategy will vary based on your industry and the type of products or services you offer, but the best article marketing tip is that ANY article marketing is better than none!

Article marketing help abounds online, especially in the various free article marketing directories. Browse through the categories to find those most relevant to your own business, then read through the pieces already published about your industry. Try to identify patterns as to what is being published and where it ranks in the listings there – often that’s a good sign of what people interested in your industry are searching for online.

Internet marketing newbies often make the mistake of writing and submitting marketing related articles without doing this research first and as a result seldom see much traffic from their efforts. Since you’re using marketing related articles as part of your article marketing strategy for Internet marketing website promotion, pay particular attention to the articles getting the greatest number of click-throughs, and see if you can analyze what about them is causing more people to follow the links back to the author’s site.

Once you’ve studied the available materials in the article marketing directory you’ll have a good idea of what content is drawing attention in your niche and what style of writing is getting the most traffic back to their website as a result. Now use those guidelines to decide on your topics and how you’ll write your own submissions and get busy writing.

Remember that the more of these free marketing articles you publish the greater your perceived expertise in your industry, and everyone prefers to deal with experts, right? Just make sure that your information is correct, relevant and well presented – when completed, read it to a friend or colleague or have them read it to you. If it flows nicely, run it through your spell-checker one more time and then submit it for an article marketing review at the biggest and best article directories.

Once they approve the article it will then be live on the Internet within their site and you can start driving traffic to it using the Web 2.0 sites like FaceBook, Twitter and Google Buzz. Encourage your target audience to read your postings in that article marketing directory and with any luck a number of them will then click through your link and arrive at your company site already knowing you’re an expert in your field.

An effective article marketing strategy can drive a lot of highly-targeted prospects to your site, both directly through your links and because the search engines spidering the directory will find additional links back to your site, this time from much-higher-traffic websites than you might otherwise be able to link back from. Those two factors plus your growing reputation as an expert in your niche show why articles must be a part of any successful Internet marketing website promotion.

Yesterday  at 3pm EST I made  my first  attempt  at writing  8 articles  in just  one  hour  using  Jason  Fladliens 7 Minute Article system. Although I only managed  to write  4 articles  during  the challenge, I have to say it was a resounding success. The fact is that I rarely manage to get that many articles done in one hour. In fact, I’m certain that if I had continued for another hour, I would  have been  able  to easily write more  than 4 articles. By the  end  of the challenge, I was  “in the  zone”.

Today at 15.00 EST I’m challenging myself to write 8 articles in 1 hour. I’ll be using Jason Fladliens 7 Minute Article system to accomplish this. You can follow my progress on Twitter where I’ll be using the following hash-tag: #8Article1Hour. Click here for more nuggets of gold!

Since I decided to take part in the HAHD challenge over at EzineArticles it’s been a roller coaster ride. To be quite honest with you I’m not an article marketing expert. However, it is something I truly do want to become better at and it’s something that fits the profile of this blog and the way I want to do business really well.

As I said, I’m not an article marketing expert. So, what do you do when that’s the case? You study what those who are successful in the field do! Click here for more nuggets of gold!

As you may know I’m participating in the HAHD challenge. You can see my progress in the sidebar on the right. So far I have 18 articles submitted and approved for the challenge, which puts me on track as of today. However, I’ve decided to take a week off from writing further articles in order to speed up the process!

Doesn’t make sense you say? Read on!

What should be in your article summary?

It’s otherwise known as an abstract or article teaser. The purpose of your article summary is to entice a potential reader to read the rest of your article. It’s a sales pitch for the benefits your article delivers and in many cases, it makes the difference as to whether your article gets read or bypassed.

Most authors are wasting their time producing dozens to hundreds of high quality articles that never reach a fraction of their traffic potential. It’s a darn shame.

When I review the behind-the-scenes traffic statistics on over 20,000 articles that have produced over 1 million monthly page views in my article marketing lab…ONE thing is clear: All articles are not created equal even when everything about them is identical except for the TITLE.

The reason is probably not what you think. Click here for more nuggets of gold!

My good friend Britt Malka forwarded a mail to me earlier today. She had received a mail about EzineArticles 3rd “100 Articles in 100 Days” challenge and told me that she had signed up. I had promised myself not to allow myself to get distracted from my new article directory project (more about that next week) and my content creation report (more about that tomorrow). In other words, I had a firm resolution to stick to my plan. So, the smart thing to do would be to stay out of the challenge.
