A major focal point of my work from home business is my keyword focused quality article marketing with a strong attention to my backlinking.
All the work I have been putting into quality has paid off in 2011 and helped me to double my earnings.
The thing is I don’t limit myself to a single niche. I have way too many interests for that but that means a whole lot more work is required. So there came a time I could no longer write all the content my sites need on a regular basis.
Guest Bloggers: The first thing I did when I realized I was in trouble was to look for guest bloggers and that has worked really well, just not for all my niches, so I still had to find another way to get good content.
Article Directories: I thought about using articles from article directories like EzineArticles.com but the content wasn’t unique to my site, so I moved on.
Article Networks: My next thought had me checking out article networks. I understood that article networks allowed spintax code to be used so that more unique articles could be published by authors. Here is a short list of the networks I joined:
Free Doesn’t Always Mean There’s No Cost
I couldn’t believe some of the poor quality articles I was seeing. I seems that a lot of authors have become experts at writing crap articles. I was spending a lot of time looking but sadly was rejecting more than 90% of all the articles.
What the heck was up with that? These articles I was rejecting had two problems. First the articles had no keyword focus and secondly a lot of them had non relevant links. These are two excellent reasons for rejecting articles, although very time consuming and frustrating.
Saving Time By Reading Only The Titles
It didn’t take long before I caught on to the fact that most of the poor quality articles were a result of auto spinning. I started looking at the titles of the articles and rejecting then based on whether they were well written and keyworded, otherwise I rejected them.
This one step started saving me a tremendous amount of time and it makes sense to me. If the title has been spun to death you can be sure the article has as well. It’s just as simple as authors going for quantity over quality.
What Is Article Marketing?
Article marketing involves the use of niche focused words known as keywords to write articles that get indexed by search engines resulting in traffic being sent to their pages. – J. P. M.
Using Article Spinners To Kill Articles
It’s sad to see such potential killed by a little button that say something like, Auto Replace Synonyms or Auto Spin Content.
I dedicate most of Monday thru Friday to article marketing because it works so well. I use The Best Spinner as my article spinner to assist in the rewriting process. It can help me create many unique articles from just one and I can do it in record time.
The fact these article networks use spintax means I can use The Best Spinner to pump out hundreds and hundreds of articles. The thing is it’s up to me to maintain the uniqueness as well as the quality of the article and this is exactly where so many fail at article marketing.
For me personally it all starts with…
First Is Niche Research: I need to know which niches I can expect to rank in enough to make some money. Then, once I have one, it’s on to finding the best keywords to base my articles on.
When it’s time to write articles for that niche I use The Best Spinner. Using TBS I can specify words and phrases that I don’t want spun while spinning my article. This is key to my success with article marketing and where so many marketers go wrong and end up losing the keyword focus that makes it work in the first place.,
Here’s An Example: You use the following keyword phrase in your article title: Work From Home Ideas, you continue with your article and then spin the article. Without protecting key phrases you could end up with a terrible title like, Labor From House Thoughts.
Can you see how quickly a quality article could turn into mush?
When I am presented with an article that has been spun to death like the title has I can see that the author was likely more interested in quantity over quality and I hit the reject button.
What Do My Stats Say
I have checked my stats on the article networks I belong to and see that I reject more than 90% of all articles but I also publish articles and can see that I have more than 90% of my articles accepted.
I’m Not Destroying My PageRank Using Crap Articles
I work hard and earn the page rank 3 and 4 my sites have. I am not about to start accepting below average articles just for the sake of more content. But it takes so much time scanning and rejecting so many articles.
Well I have figured out something that has saved me hours a day. I no longer look at the body of each and every article. The first thing I check is the title. If it’s not well written and keyworded I don’t want it and it gets rejected.
Instead of wasting tow minutes on an article I take just two seconds to see if I am going to look at the rest of the article.
Using the example from above you can see how quickly a choice can be made. Look at both titles and tell me if you would take the time to look at both articles.
- Work From Home Ideas
- Labor From Residence Notions
Personally I would look at the first title’s article body but would instantly click reject on the second.
So for me the KEY to my article marketing success is proper KEYwords usage in the title, article body and text links. Once that’s spot on I then put The Best Spinner to work rewriting each article without losing any keyword focus or density.
