Don't let people make SEO a big messy maze. It's not. It's simple, if you keep it simple. At Simplosys, we like simple. So much so that we named the company after that :)
Now, this doesn't mean it's EASY. There's a difference. The concept is simple. Which is what you need to understand. VERY well. Then the implementation will depend on how well you execute the simple concept. But if your understanding of the basic concept is flawed, you'll never get results, really, never.
So, here you go:
Article Marketing is perhaps the easiest and most common form of link building. Everyone does it. Either themselves or through their SEO or a link building service. There is nothing wrong with it when it's done right and in moderation.
One problem with article marketing is that it's difficult to measure results right away. Directories take days or even weeks to approve an article and this can make it hard to know whether your submission was right, was approved, Etc., especially if you are submitting tens or even hundreds of articles, for yourself or multiple clients.
Here's some tips that I've used that have helped me increase the acceptance rate and stay on the good books with article directories that I submit to.
Five-six years ago, people hadn't still figured out the Google formula as clearly. Good ol' dark ages when SEO was a term not many even knew about. Times when you could rank high with just a few links from random sites via link exchanges. Times that have changed for the better now.
Now, link exchanges are almost a thing of the past. They still work and are beneficial to get direct traffic but getting links from links pages with tons of other links are not really that helpful anymore. From highly relevant pages, OK, may be..
But why am I telling you stuff you already know? Let's get to the point. I know you want to know what works today. Here you go. This is it.
