[S193]Search Engine Optimization Articles
by John Sylvester, Joh

My introduction to search engine optimization started in London a few years back and, after experimenting with Web Position Gold, I honed these skills to attain very good results in promoting clients' websites. Later, I discovered that link building was a necessary but highly tedious monthly process. This I still do to an extent, but today I am increasingly drawn to article writing as the medium for promoting both ourselves and our clients in the world of Web 2.0.

As a former sub-editor for a number of publications in London, it is quite a stimulating pastime to research subjects that interest me. It is also as a valuable means of gaining exposure for our sites. So this year I will be writing for ourselves and our clients through submitting relevant articles to high PR websites; each will then provide us with valuable one-way links.

Also, these articles will appear in the WordPress section of our website so as to syndicate the information further via our RSS feed. As an aside, Google's Adsense has been added to WordPress and I am keenly aware that the use of high-paying keywords could see some additional rewards for our efforts ― ‘search engine optimization' ranking amongst the top performers.

According to www.weird-websites.com the top ten keywords are:
1) 213,259 paris hilton
2) 155,497 google
3) 124,016 yahoo
4) 121,086 ebay
5) 96,264 eminem
6) 96,262 britney spears
7) 94,014 mapquest
8) 93,708 tsunami
9) 90,841 girls
10) 90,334 89.com

So, submissions have almost been suspended to the free directories and our monthly SEO programme is now much more focused on article writing. They are not intended to only have SEO value; they are being written to provide readers with relevant and interesting content that may not be commonly available elsewhere.

There seem to be a plethora of e-zines out there that accept articles from writers, but I am concentrating on making submissions to the following list that have PR rankings of 7 thru 5:

Internet marketers deal in a number of different strategies on a day to day basis when it comes to increasing the overall popularity of their websites, and driving more traffic to that website. It has been discovered that articles are considered the best internet marketing tool when it comes to search engine optimization. There are many different reasons for this, and more and more individuals are contributing their findings in order to establish credentials when it comes to this marketing technique. Here, you will gain a little insight as to why marketing articles may just be your key to success.

When you have an article that is properly geared for popular search engines like Windows Live Search, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Google, and other ones, you will immediately find that your content climbs the ranks when it comes to popularity on those search engines. It is a proven fact that the higher your content ranks in these search engines, more visitors will end up on your pages. The individuals that will visit your website in this situation are referred to as 'targeted traffic'. Basically, this means that these individuals are searching for your products and services specifically. Traffic is virtually useless if it is not considered to be 'targeted'.

Article marketing is considered to be popular because of the fact that it is a cost effective method of advertising. Generally, it does not take very long to create an effective and properly optimized keyword if you are truly an expert in your field. Perhaps you feel that you do not have the knowledge or the ability to compose these articles on your own - this is actually really common. However, there is a solution for this issue! There are many article directories that will allow you to use the content written by other authors. Then, there are services out there that play host to freelancers who are willing to compose your articles for a small fee. Many find that having these types of services automates their campaign and makes them highly successful!

The next reason that article marketing is an effective marketing solution is that there are a number of directories where you can place your content, and then backlink to your website in order to increase your website's search engine ranking. A good example of this type of directory is 'Extreme Articles'. Here, you can place all of your articles, regardless of subject, and even create an effective author resource box that will allow you to provide readers with the link to your website, free eBooks, free reports, and other important marketing tools. In addition to this there are other directories that are as popular, such as Ezine and even Associated Content! The best thing is that these articles can actually represent you for life and are free to post!

Articles that are properly optimized for the internet implement the use of keywords and phrases that are keyword based in order to establish rankings in major search engines. For example, if you are offering a free eBook on recipes, it is likely that your article will contain keywords like 'free recipes', 'cooking tips', 'free cooking recipes', and similar keywords and phrases. If you have an article marketing campaign, it is quite likely that those interested in this topic will search for these exact keywords. When they do, your articles will appear first on the search engines!

Can you think of a better way to let people know that your products and services are out there? Probably not!
