Backlinks There is no better whitehat method to obtaining backlinks than Article Marketing. I recommend using a free article directory that offers good PR and high quality traffic. As soon as your article gets approved you will start to see traffic to your article and your site. Avoid using automatic spinners, these simply do not work. Any good Article Directory will reject content that is obviously spun.

Traffic Always make sure you put a link to your site with the proper anchor text in every article you submit. Even if it is something as simple as “Click here for more information”. Of course the person reading your article is looking for information about your topic. Bad content does not give a reader a reason to check out your website. Submit expert articles!

Reconition Published articles can only add to your expertise. Users that read your content will associated you with the topic you’re covering. However, be warned that this is a two way street. If the content is un-readable people will assume you have no idea about the subject of the article. You can always hire a professional to write your articles for you. Look around on the Internet and find a high quality, inexpensive writer.

Eternal Every month your article will still be out there, still gaining backlinks for your site. People can’t help but link to quality, interesting content. If you write something that is interesting or informative, people will link to you. However, if your article is unreadable you will gain no backlinks or traffic. Don’t assume your article makes sense, always have someone else proof read it for you. Your content can be exceptional but if your writing is poor you are doomed.

Knowledge When you begin writing your article you’re also gaining knowledge on your subject. This education adds to your arsenal and you should gain ideas about new sites or driving more traffic to your existing pages. Seldom do I write an article about a topic and don’t think of a new website to create or an idea to further my web presence.

Help People Some of the most visited articles help someone with a problem. Whenever you solve a problem write about it and publish the article. If you have the problem, someone else does as well. Help them fix it and get quality backlinks at the same time?

I hope this list helps. Just to be clear, the most important part of the process is good content!
