Free article marketing

February 22nd, 2010

Free article marketing is a type of business promotion that relies on the creation and distribution of informative content related to the nature of the company, product/service or activity domain. Free article marketing is not specific to web activities only. Companies that target the local market use it extensively. Therefore, they will provide free articles for publication to local or regional newspapers. There is indirect advertising, but the topic tackled with in the material touches on the activity of the business in question.

This advertising pattern of free article marketing has been taken over by web investors who have seen it as an opportunity to increase business exposure with minimum costs. Search engine optimization and keyword density distinguishes online free article marketing from the paper-printed variant. Thus, the articles written for Internet distribution focus on a main keyword that is considered the topic of the material. This is why the first stage of article marketing consists in the identification of the most relevant keywords and phrases for a product/service or domain of activity.

Large and small companies alike practice free article marketing. The submission of the materials is made on specialized article directories from where other publishers take over content and distribute it together with the links to your website. Articles published around the world wide web generate backlinks, which represent the way in which other websites refer to your page creating chances for more visitors to access you website. Backlinks are the treasure of free article marketing and the basis of your virtual real estate empire.

Besides the keywords used to write the articles, incorporated links play an important role for free article marketing too. Some article directories accept a maximum of three links included in the content while others accept one or two links in the author info box at the end of the article. Know the rules of article directories before submitting your articles. Your content will not receive approval if you don’t comply with submission rules.

Make sure not to duplicate content. Do not submit the same articles that you have uploaded on your website or posted on blogs and social networks. There are softwares that check for duplicate content, which doesn’t allow you to use the same materials twice. At least you could re-write the original in very many variants and then submit them to multiple article directories. - atestate informatica
