Looking for article marketing tips?
An effective article marketing strategy can help you take your business to the next level by generating new traffic, leads and sales on complete autopilot once you have a few systems in place.
In fact, my wife and I have been using “article marketing strategies” since 1996 to us help build out FIVE six-figure, even multiple six-figure business online.
We use a simple content marketing strategy that has never failed to produce a profitable result.
So let’s talk more about, shall we?
Proven Article Marketing Tips that Work
Before we talk about WHAT WORKS… let’s take a look at the 3 most critical mistakes most people make post panda:
One of the best article marketing tips you can walk away with today is to realize, as we shared in the video, is you should not expect your article to get actually read by too many humans.
Most article directories like EzineArticles.com and AricleBase.com no longer rank well on the search engines and so not too many people are finding and reading the articles posted there anymore.
This doesn’t it isn’t valuable to publish your article on these old authority sites – it is – but not for the purpose of getting your content read.
The value comes from the BACKLINK you get from the authority that links back to your original article, web page or blog post.
The reason is the more backlinks you get from authority sites – the higher your original content will rank on the search engines. And the higher your content ranks… the more traffic, leads and sales you will get.
Article Marketing Secrets Revealed
Let’s walk through a live example using a number of effective article marketing strategies that work.
As you know, this is a blog post and what you are reading right now is an article about “article marketing tips”.
This post has been optimized to include the keyword phrase article marketing tips in the title, first paragraph, last paragraph and a few times within the body copy itself when it makes sense.
This process basically tells the search engines what this particular blog post is about and proper on-page keyword optimization is critical to getting more traffic, leads and sales.
Once we have published our original article – now we want to either rewrite the article or get a new article and use it as a BASE ARTICLE for mass distribution purposes.
Mass distribution?
Exactly. Now we want to use automated software programs to distribute unique copies of our article to hundreds, even thousands of article directories and blogs and LINK BACK to our original article from within the author bio box.
These BACK LINKS are what causes a web page, blog post or video to rank on the front page of the search engines – which is critical because you want to make it easy for people to find you when they are actively searching for what you have to offer.
If you want to review some of the more popular program for mass article distribution see our backlink builder post.
More Article Marketing Tips
One of the challenges of mass article distribution for backlinks to get your original article to rank is the need for two articles.
Posting On Purpose for Profit | Predatory SEO | Article Writing Software
The original article that you post to your web site or blog (or an authority site like Hubpages or Squidoo) needs to be at least 600 words long and offer value to the reader.
Ideally you should also add a few graphics and maybe even a video.
For distribution purposes you DO NOT want to use a copy of the original article because the search engines do not index or rank duplicate content and you run the risk of creating duplicate if you spin and distribute the original.
Instead, subscribe to a cheap article writing service or software program like Article Builder to get a distribution article.
Another helpful idea is to use different authors for the distribution articles.
This will help you track the effectiveness of the articles and also keep your name “clean” from any potential bad neighborhoods the automation software may distribute your content to.

I love it! You are by far the best resource out there for honest direction. I’m a bit overwelmed with all the options and am trying to simplify the steps you do each day for the BEST results without the fluff.
I’ve got the link for all your tools but I feel like I’m getting a drink out of a fire hose. For example I bought Market Samurai a while back and spent a week learning everything to find out that SE Cockpit is way better and more effective.
What steps do you do each day and in what order so that the cart isnt before the horse. Here’s what I have so far.
1. Keyword Research with SE Cockpit software not MS.
2. Publish blog post on your website (at least 800 words).
3. Submit URL to http://pingler.com
*** Social Media ***
4. Run through Tribepro
** You Get Backlinks ***
5. Run through Digi Traffic Accelerator
6. Run through Article Marketing Robot
7. Run through Unique Article Wizard
8. Run through SeoContent
9. Run through Empower Network?
Let me know what I’m missing. I’m just looking for YOUR checklist on what YOU do each day for each article that I can follow. There’s good, better and best. I’m looking for the BEST. Thanks for all you do!

Ren – thanks for reaching out. I’ve found over the years
the process doesn’t change much but the tools often do.

* Syndicated post w/Syndication Rockstar
* Submitted to TribePro
* Submitted 100 raw links, 24 hours, seocontentnetwork
* Submitted 3 links per day, 50%, seocontentnetwork
* Submitted to SocialAdr – top account
* Submitted to 40 high pr blogs
Now I’ll wait 2-3 weeks, then…
* Drip 5 links per day with UAW
* Submit though EzArticleLinks
* Submit through Spin Distribute
* Submit through Social Monkey
Then I’ll wait another 2-3 weeks and if I am not yet ranking where I want to be then I fire off a “full monty” campaign with SeNuke X or Magic Submitter
For keyword reseearch I use the free Google Keyword tool to get my initial list then add them to Secockpit to check the competition (though I don’t really check the competition too much anymore because I AM the competition!)
Sweet, Thanks! I appreciate it! All the best!
I think I’m that girl your refering to in an e-mail you sent out with the above except Ren is a Dude. Ha ha! My wife Hiedi laughed pretty hard! Anyway I appreciate all you do.
Ren
Awesome!
Always learning something new from you Rob; it’s no wonder you are Crushing SEO!
Thanks for sharing!
LR
Hey L.R. – you’re a rockstar! Keep on making it happen…
Thanks very much Rob … as a newbie I take a huge amount away from your blog posts. Thanks …
Thanks for the great post Rob and the run down on your article process. You’re information is always top value.
Thanks, Chad. Appreciate the feedback. You’re a rockstar!
Your stuff is second to none. Unlike so many others Rob, you provide solid, practical advice and clear steps to follow. You make modeling “easy” – and yet you still stay far out in front! I’m equally impressed with your attentive and thoughtful replies to the questions and comments you get. May what you give come back to you a hundredfold!
Thanks, Don – appreciate the feedback. One of greatest lessons I’ve learned over the years is to provide VALUE as best we can without recourse – just seek to give first and let the Golden Rule play out. It always does.
Thanks Rob,
I think the biggest challenge I fight everyday is resistance !
There is a voice in my head that just says NO. Am I the only one ?
The thing that can set me free and I say tomarrow.
Thanks for your inspiration.
The Best To You
Arlen
When I first started online I simply made a personal commitment that 1) I would not quit, 2) I would not allow the luxury of 2nd guessing and 3) I could whine as much as I wanted – and so far the plan has worked well. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Rob
Thank you for your article, especially here in the comments your listing when you submit to different sites.
Lately I went through your SEO Predatory course and I implement now one step after the other. But it needs time to get everything done.
Bruno
Bruno – exactly, SEO take time. It takes time to learn the art and science itself, it takes time to set up all the tools and register all the accounts, it takes time to promote each post and it takes time for the search engines to react. But if you stick with it and create a promotional system… the results, down the road, will surprise you.
Rob; I’m also a newbie and that voice is also in my head..but you inspire me to continue and not quit. Thanks for all the info and inspiration you give. I’m determined to be successful in this business!
Sounds like you have the heart of a champion and that is all it really takes – heart. Keep the faith and keep going…
Rob,
Great post. I’ve really enjoyed reading through your blog. Quick question…
In the above post you said ezinearticles and articlesbase no longer rank well in google. Does this go for other free content sites such as squidoo or hubpages etc.?
Thanks,
Dan
Hey Dan – thanks for reaching out.
The “authority sites” Google likes to rank at any time changes all the time. Right now they still rank hubpages, squidoo and youtube really well. The best thing to do is to use a keyword research tool like Market Samuria to test out various authority sites to see if they are CURRENTLY ranking.
Great article Rob, as always. I really appreciate how you cut to the chase and provide real valuable information on such a key topic. You give a very detailed blueprint of what is necessary to succeed in the online business. It may not be easy but success never is and will never be.
Thanks for your inspiration and direction. Your generosity with your knowledge and information will be rewarded tenfold.
Continued Success to you
Thank you for sharing, Ricardo – but, yeah, having a PLAN of action is critical to achieving success online. We have to know what we intend to do when we sit down to more our business forward. Without a plan we end up just walking around in circles and getting nowhere pretty fast.
Rob, the section in your tool box where you show the step by step’s on what you do to get your blog to rank in google, if I do those with consistence than I stand a good shot?
