Article Marketing Secrets -- Direct Sales Vs. Backlink Generation 

While it's obvious that most individual's goals with article marketing are to generate sales in the end, the short term goals may be different. If your goal is direct sales, then the following secrets may be beneficial:

  • Buy a domain and redirect it to your affiliate link. That's right, reserve a domain (most can be bought anywhere from $2 - $10 per year) and use it instead of your affiliate link. When the link is hovered over, the domain you've reserved appears more relevant and authoritative than a "salesy" hop link or affiliate link. Use this domain in your resource boxes.


  • Use only one pen name per campaign. Marketing multiple products under the same pen name can cost you sales. Most semi-experienced surfers will know how to look at other products you are promoting. Someone may choose not to buy your "Greatest ebook in the world" if he/she finds another article by you promoting another ebook proclaimed as "The ultimate ebook". Think about it.


  • Give away useful advice -- If the ebook you are promoting is about a bodybuilding system then in your article tell them tips on how to get a set of washboard abs or maybe the best supplements to buy. In you resource box you will invite them to a "better, faster, more efficient way" to achieve that great body.


  • Keep your keyword density to 3-5% for most article directories and 1-2% for EzineArticles


    • However, if your goal is to obtain quality backlinks in order for Google or other search engines to see your site as an authoritative site, then the following secrets will benefit you:

  • Use a combination of article sites with page ranks from 4 and up.


  • Place your articles in relevant categories (very important) within the article directory.


  • Publish the same article under the same author name to no more than 10 article directories


  • Don't overuse social bookmarking and don't use it with every article.


  • Use blogs with relevant titles and urls and attempt to post every 3-4 days.


  • Don't use more than 2 anchor text links in your blogs

    • My Article Marketing Secret? A Plan 

    Nothing works better than a repeatable plan of action...

    1 month ago my article marketing campaigns were making sales just using the "secrets" above. This was a hodgepodge of advice I collected over months of learning. It was trial and error, sale, more trial and error, until I got to know a young lady (a southern mom)who had developed a system of sorts using free methods.

    She showed me a repeatable plan of action that I now use for all of my campaigns. It works well with Squidoo, niche web sites, blogs, etc... I can't begin to tell others enough about the effectiveness of this PLAN! Before I was trying to write articles that convert but my thought process was constantly interrupted with all of the well-meaning but useless advice I was finding on the internet. Now my sales are consistent and I can focus on the content of my campaigns knowing my little "system" will work for me every time.
