Should You Be Writing Articles?

Every webmaster knows that to gain ranking positions in search engines you need to build links. This usually means hours at a computer submitting your site to directories and emailing other webmasters requesting reciprocal links. There is another way of getting links which often overlooked and complements your current link building strategy, writing articles.

Content is the life blood of the Internet every webmaster needs it and every website needs fresh content to keep Google and the other Search engines coming back regularly. By writing articles you can provide this content and at the same time get yourself permanent back links to your website. This article will attempt to answer some common questions asked by first time article writers.

What should I write about?

It is always easier to write about what you know to start with. Once you develop your writing skills then you can move on to subjects you need to research. Always make sure that the topic is related to the site that you are promoting.

How will people locate my articles?

Once you have written your article you submit it to Article Listing websites. These website provide a categorized list of articles that are free to use on websites as long as certain conditions are adhered to. One of these conditions is that all links must be live. When you submit your article you add a short biography and a link to your site in the resource box.

Don’t Webmasters just remove the links?

Yes this does happen but not as often as you think. It is very easy to track these webmasters down. Use a tool like Google alerts which checks the Internet for relevant key phrases. It is very useful if you add a unique key phrase to your articles that you can enter into the search tool. You can also search for your name to ensure that all the links are live.

How long should the articles be?

There is not set length of article but anywhere from 200 words to a maximum of 3500 words is normal. Personally I usually aim for 350 -500 words as this usually sits nicely on a page

Should I submit my article to more than 1 site?

Views are divided on this some people say submit them to as many sites as possible while others think you should only submit unique articles to each site. If you don’t have a tool that will help you to create unique articles then I would suggest making each submission to an article site with a PageRank of 4 or above unique.

How many articles should I be writing?

The more you can write and distribute the better. It all depends on how comfortable you are with writing. This is my second article today while my wife has written 10. Set yourself a target to start with. For example try to write 1 article before your first coffee.

ALL EARS ON 'WALL-E' – San Francisco Chronicle- About: E-Business

That’s just a day in the life of the pioneering sound designer, who went on similar field trips when he came up with Darth Vader’s breathing in “Star Wars,” the Indiana Jones whip in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and a variety of other iconic sounds now embedded in cinema history. The story about a robot who finds love on an abandoned, polluted Earth used 2,500 new sound files – compared with the 700 to 1,000 for the typical “Star Wars” or “Indiana Jones” movie. For example, the sound that the magical skulls emit in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was discovered in a buzzing lamp post in a Skywalker Ranch parking lot – not even 100 feet from where Burtt recorded the sound used for the rolling boulder that pursues Indiana Jones in “Raiders of the Lost Ark. He says the whirring sound WALL-E makes when the robot moves slowly is actually a World War II Army hand-cranked generator – Burtt saw a soldier on television using one to operate a radio and bought an identical device on eBay. Thirty years ago, Burtt famously created the blaster sound in “Star Wars” by striking a power pole guy wire with a hammer. read more

Making Money Online Through The Use Of Clickbank

It does not matter whether you have only just got involved in internet marketing or have been doing it for some time and are now looking for an easy and profitable way to make money through affiliate marketing. One can’t go far wrong if you choose to sell Clickbank products. However, Clickbank isn’t in fact an affiliate network in the strictest meaning of the word. What in fact Clickbank is is a place where products are for sale and can be purchased safely by those customers who wish to buy them.

Just over a year ago Clickbank sent out a press release which stated that during the first day of trading last year a total of more than 1 million dollars worth of sales were completed. Certainly since this date Clickbank have regularly been seeing sales of more than 1 million dollars per day have now become a regular occurrence for them.

As well as Clickbank’s daily sales being impressive there are other impressive statistics which are showing why Clickbank is so successful and why one should be considering using it if you want to be able to make a steady regular income from an online business.

1. Today Clickbank has more than 1.25 million registered affiliates and of these 100,000 are active and more than 12,000 are publishers.

2. Currently all sales that take place on Clickbank are currently running at 30% more than they were in 2007.

3. Currently there are more than 35,000 products listed by Clickbank and each and every day a further thirty new products are being added to this list.

4. Today the average price of products that are now being sold on Clickbank work out at about $41. Plus the average rate of commission that the affiliates earn through selling such products is 55%.

5. The average number of sales which take place on any given day on Clickbank is around 25,000.

But what is Clickbank’s real strength is that it is able to cater not only for affiliates but also publishers as well. This means that the average customer has the chance to choose where to produce books that they sell or where to promote other people’s products. But at the end of the day the success of Clickbank is down to those affiliates who are able to create more than 70% of all the sales that occur through it. Certainly promoting one of the many products that you can find on Clickbank is without a doubt the best way for you to be able to generate an online income quickly.

There are a number of ways in which you can start to promote Clickbank products, the easiest of these being to set up a blog providing information about the product and then create a review in relation to it. The next best thing to setting up a blog is to write some articles and then submit these through to various article directories. It is through the resource box at the bottom where you can place links that then direct readers to your blog or the sales page you have created for the product.

Another way of promoting Clickbank products which are used by some of the more experienced marketers is to create Pay Per Click Adverts which you then put on to networks such as Google Adsense. You need to learn everything about the various techniques involved in creating the right kinds of adverts if you want to be assured of getting a regular income from them. Ideally, I wouldn’t recommend using this method unless you really have gained the right amount of experience first.

Being a publisher on Clickbank is not that difficult, the main criteria being that you have something that you wish to sell. As for the writing of the articles etc., this is something that you can outsource to a specialist writing if you wish or you could purchase Private Label Rights e-books or articles instead. With these then all you have to do is alter them to suit you and make them unique to you. Then once listed this provides you with access to even more potential new affiliates for your business.

So you haven’t tried Clickbank yet, then isn’t it about time you did. Take a few minutes just to look at what they have to offer and I’m sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
