Getting The Most From Your Articles

Use articles as link building tools

First: Submit your articles to the top article directories, in the category that is the closest match to your topic. Over time you will notice that other websites pick up and display your articles. Next: You should contact the owners of those websites and tell them that you will write a unique article SPECIFICALLY for their website. In this article you’ll include a text link that will point directly to your main money web page. Using this method to get quality links is one of the very best, and very little used methods of getting high quality links to your websites.

Avoiding Duplicate Content Penalties

You should never publish articles that you have on your own website. Here are 3 ways to avoid this...

1. Post the article on your website, then wait for it to be indexed by the major search engines before you submit it to the article directories.

2. Post the full article on your website but only submit half of it to the article directories (works best if you have a 1000 words or more in the article).

3. Create a second but different version of the article. Then, you can submit that version to the directories while keeping the original on your site.

Deep Linking
(Linking to a web page other than a site's home page.)

Instead of just putting links to your main site page, link to a few inner pages of your site from within the article text. Of course, the inner pages must be relevant to the article topic. This will help spread the link popularity you receive throughout the site. Deep links are one of the ways search engines use to evaluate the value of links.

Themed Links

Use different articles for different purposes. For example, you could have one article promoting your main website, another promoting your new book (and linking to the order page), and yet another article linking to your newsletter sign-up page. The key is to remember that articles also mean traffic, and along with deep links, getting traffic to the key money-making areas of your site is very important.
