Article marketing is one of the most effective ways to drive traffic. Especially when you submit your articles to popular article directories like EzineArticles.com, you’re going to get a huge amount of traffic directly from the site itself. But you can get more out from your articles. The key is to optimize your articles and make them achieve high organic rankings on search engines for important keywords.

Now, let me share with you a few tips to optimize your articles:

1. Place the most important keyword in the Title of your articles. The keyword should appear right at the beginning of the title. You should try mention the keyword at least twice in the title of your article. To avoid spam, you can use different variations of the keyword in your title. If the keyword you want to optimize is search engine optimization, an example will be something like this: “Search Engine Optimization - 8 Search Marketing Tips to Make Your Site Sky-Rocket to the Top”.
2. Mention the keywords in the first and last paragraph of your article. Don’t forget about this.
3. Submit your articles to social bookmarking sites. Sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Reddit are very popular social bookmarking sites with high traffic. Once your articles are live, you should bookmark them. Also, remember to send post them on Twitter too.
4. Identify the most popular article and create even more back links to it. After a week, you should be able to see which article performed the best. The next thing you should do is to write even more articles and in the author resource boxes, place a link back to the most popular article.
5. Use other effective methods to create more back links to your articles. Other effective methods to create back links are blog commenting, forum marketing and creating Squidoo lens.

Remember, you should always create back links for the best articles. When you write a lot of articles, there will be hits and misses. Don’t spend time dwelling on the misses. Concentrate your energy and effort on the hits.

Today, here’s another post on SEO tip. SEO is really important if you want to achieve affiliate marketing success and I really hope you can master it. Now, let me share with you 5 effective tips that will get your website to rank high on Google:

1. Develop the right keyword list. Targeting the right keyword is the key to SEO success. If you optimize the wrong keyword, there will be no conversion.

2. Use unique Title and Meta Description for every page of your website. The keywords that you place in your Title and Meta tags should be relevant to the content of the page. The Title tag is like a book title; it tells the search engines what the page is about. Therefore, it is extremely important for you to use relevant titles for every page of your website.

3. Write good content and place it on your website. Content is king in SEO. Good content can be in the form of words, videos, audio, widgets, etc. Your objective is to provide value to your visitors and turn your website into a link bait. With good content, other webmasters will start linking to you and this will increase your website link popularity. Link popularity is one of the key factors for SEO success, so do not overlook it.

4. Good SEO copywriting. Adding keywords in the right place will help increase the visibility of the keywords. But, you need to be careful with this approach. Stuffing too many keywords within the content will make Google thinks that you are spamming them. So no matter what, always consider the human element. Write for human to read instead of Google.

5. Build more back links. Link building increases your website link popularity which will help it to get higher rankings on Google. You can build links through article marketing, press release submission, link exchange with other webmasters, directory submission and social book marking.

These are some of the things that you should do to get high Google rankings. SEO takes time, especially link building. You need to work on it consistently to see results. Develop your link building strategy plan and work on it religiously.

Good luck!

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of increasing the volume of targeted traffic to your site from search engines via organic search results. When your site ranks high on organic search result listings, you will receive more targeted traffic to your site.

With more targeted traffic, you have more eyeballs to present your offer. To make money with affiliate marketing, quality of traffic is very important. You need lots of traffic as well as qualified visitors. And SEO is one of the best ways to make it happen.

In order to achieve success with SEO, you need to build more back links to your site. This means that you need to get more webmasters to place your site URL on their websites, pointing back to you.

There are many ways to build back links and let me share with you in this post:

1. Article submission. This is my favourite link building technique. For every article you write, include your site URL in the author resource box.  So, write articles consistently and submit them to a list of SEO-friendly article directories. When your articles are approved and published, you are getting links back to your site.
2. Directory submission. Submit your website URL to a list of SEO-friendly directories. Some of the more popular directories are Yahoo Directory, DMOZ and BOTW. Although the majority of the directories offer free submission, you need to pay for some popular ones like Yahoo and BOTW.
3. Online press release submission. The way this method builds back links is quite similar to article submission. You submit a press release with your URL to an online PR company. Once approved, your press release will be syndicated to various authority news sites which will greatly increase the number of back links.
4. Forum posting. Join your industry forums and participate actively. You can place your site URL in your forum signature and it will be shown in your posts.
5. Make your site a link bait. What makes your site so attractive that other webmasters will happily place your URL on their sites for their visitors? Answer: Quality content. By writing quality content, you are attracting other webmasters to share your content to their readers by placing your URL on their sites.
6. Exchange links. Exchange links with fellow webmasters in your industry. When you request for a link exchange, state clearly where you wish your link to be and how you want it to be written. Keywords should be used as the anchor text of your link.
7. Commenting on other blogs. Leave constructive comments on other people blogs and sign off with your name and URL.

Link building is not a one-time project, it is a process. You must do it consistently.

So, do at least one of the above every day to see results for SEO.
