Killer Article Marketing Tactics

Articles are just as an important element of the marketing system as any other element, and if you want to be No.1 on Google for your chosen keywords then you have to engage seriously in the art of article marketing.
They are a method of publishing your content with embedded links on an authority site, which gives you loads of High value links juice.

There are two types of article directory :
1. The article authority site.
Those with very strict rules of submission, quality guidelines and human intervention. Silo'd organised quality google food!

2. FFA article directories
Large containers of generally poorer quality content, often spammy with categories unorganised.

My advice to you is only submit articles to the first type. Dont spin or reuse content and keep quality in mind at all times.

TIP - Place two keyword links in the author resource box. one to the homepage url and one deeplink to the subject landing page. Vary your resource box per article!

There are only three places that you really need to worry about -
EzineArticles, GoArticles and Articlesbase.

Ezine is Zeus and all your superior material should be posted here!
God likes articles that are between 500 and 800 words long and contain quality, content written with authority!
Always let God know first!

The other two have excellent RSS distribution and you will find your article reappearing on other article sites, usually complete with your backlinks!

Getting authority, most views, author status etc then becomes just a matter of syndication and republishing! All these sites provide RSS feeds for the articles!

Tip: Promote yourself as an author as well by taking the RSS feeds for your author profile and republishing these! (i've got an army of made up people at the top of G**g for their names!! (wisdom of crowds my arse! tee hee!)).

Beat The System

What is Search Engine Buzz? - Links to Infinity and Beyond

Buzz - Light Years Ahead!

OR

How to create links to Infinity and Beyond

Internet Marketing is all about creating buzz! Hive Noise! Becoming the talk of the town is the ultimate goal of The System!
Buzz is ongoing......
Buzz is about continuity, as soon as the noise stops so does the publicity!

Web 2.0 is surrounded by something I call the 'buzz belt'

It consists predominantly of places to make noise.

In particular noise with embedded backlinks.

A lot of people might consider buzz as spam or black hat - to those I say, it's what Google Wants, It's what everone else is doing, If you don't you are dead in the water, getting ranked these days IS about he who can shout the loudest and have the most backlinks - Forget what any of these so called marketing Gurus try tell you otherwise ! -

Getting high ranks on Google is partly, perhaps even largely, about getting keyword rich links through continual self promotion - full stop period...

Buzz belt

1. Twitter - Global real time noise!
2. Blogs - Personal noise! Blogger blogs are the ultimate tool for making noise in the Buzz belt!
3. Social Bookmarking - Like Dog posting - Doing what dogs like to do on lamp posts!
4. Commenting - Making more noise all over the place, either personal or informational
5. Social Network Comments - Niche and personal noise

All web 2.0 properties will create a certain amount of buzz, but some more than others. For example I don't consider articles or PR releases etc to be part of the buzz belt, these properties are more valuable as viral static high ranking long term links.

Buzz needs to be done on an ongoing continual basis, preferably without spikes, although these will inevitably occur when you release content. Buzz content can re-used and repackaged for extra link juice and more buzz squeezed out of the content even long after the first noise has gone quiet!

Beat The System

Death of the Newspaper - Arise Sir RSS - The Birth of Peoples Journalism

In case you haven't noticed there's not so much rubbish on your doormat these days!
Thanks to the green revolution of paper free news - The Internet! - our letterboxes are far less full of spam and junk, whether they are local FreeAds style newspapers or national celebrity milking rags, like the British Gutterpress.

Hurrah! Bye bye bad old media with your introverted political claptrap and stories about nobodies being outed for doing the things that 'everyone' does! ....

Hello world!

Yep! in case you haven't noticed - and there are many 'local' niche papers that will survive the current ' transformation' in information (news) delivery...

The old 'bastions' of news, those deciders of what we want to hear! the free press, the fourth estate - are going bust!

Bye Bye! the death of another hierarchical structure should not be mourned! it is a move towards wisdom of crowds! More better diversified information of size!

Here's an interesting view from Two old farts who have lost their Industry - The old press - journalism

Bow down all ye and gaze upon the New News of the World in AWE - Shock and AWE!

RSS will provide people with their choice of news from their trusted authorities.

Similarly RSS will be used to construct websites of authority and distribute - syndicate to be more precise, content to other hubs worldwide!

RSS is the lifeblood of content driven marketing and the Social Web!

Now what's the fuss about those old 33rpm's

Google and Me - Best of Buddies!

A lot of people have asked me.....

Why do you publish some of your stuff? why do say the things you do about Google?
If they are true, surely Google will punish you, whack you, wipe you out!

Tee Hee!

I used to lurk around forums in the days of the dinosaurs revelling in my cloak of invisibility - flying under the radar as we say in the biz!

Guess What?

I still do !

.....but the stuff you are learning here and what is about to be revealed as I said from the very first Post - this system is not about Google! the Internet is not Google centric anymore!

Now we have Web 2.0 - THE SOCIAL INTERNET

Like I've boasted - there is nothing Google can do to stop the viral spread of my ideas on how to dominate Google SERPS.

Furthermore, Google cannot interfere with the network structure of Web 2.0 and even if it could - I would have better rankings than now because there exists an optimized network structure for linking that Googles algo relies upon and cannot alter!

More Furthermore, and the most important reason of All - Google loves my stuff!

Google doesn't care either as a machine, National Institution or the people that work for IT. They all love my stuff!

Like I say the proof of the pudding is in the eating as my few corporate clients will tell you!

Anyway Google and I are buddies (again) (Yeah OK, I was pretty pissed with Gog when it whacked my No 1 car insurance site in 2005 - so they say it's best served cold!)

The chaps at Google love my stuff, how do I know?

We link to each other! it publishes my stuff- I syndicate it's stuff(or stuff of mine originating from its tools. After all I only promote quality, hard work, meritocracy and good linking structures!

Secondly, the guys that work for Google are the cream of their own niches! The very best! (in their own disciplines)

There-in lies the problem.

None of them can see the bigger picture, not even Mr Eric Schmidt, well not the picture of how Google works anyway! just the bits they are working on - Good old Adam Smith!

So you see, Google is just a small search centric network neighbourhood where each division or arm has its own agenda and autonomy. Google is not a model of the wisdom of crowds, it is a design of top down hierarchical structures that can be decomposed! The problem for Google bosses is how do you spread a wisdom of crowds culture in a diverse, arrogant, self competitive neighbourhood network of the very best?

But the marketing lesson is be kind to poor old Google by giving it what it wants!
As we've been saying all along long term ranking means long term committment to be Google's buddy. Google has heard it all before - Google wants new stuff, Google wants Buzz, Google wants to Understand!

Being Google's buddy means taking it out and dining at the best loved restaurants (web 2.0 places) with high quality food (content) on a regular basis (RSS). Use it's favourite tools like Blogger and Youtube to whisper in its ear, and you will be rewarded with a place at the top table - rapido!

Through the pain barrier with the King of Content

EzineArticles.com were kind enough to send us ythis email which we think is worth redistributing here.
Ezinearticles.com is arguably the most important of all the article directories, it's only failure being it's Rss distribtion services are fairly non existant

This new article template is the perfect cure for your ideal customer's pain.

This template is based on the concept of pain. More specifically, the pain your ideal customers may experience and the pain reliever you can provide. Two simple questions form the backbone of this template:

1. What are some PAIN points that your ideal customers experience?


2. What are some STRENGTHS/BENEFITS your company delivers to remove or prevent those pain points?

Let's imagine you're going to write an article using this template. The article is targeted at small business owners who are curious about article marketing. Some pain points you might consider addressing would be:

• Pain of losing a competitive advantage


• Pain of not having traffic


• Pain of not being recognized


• Pain of not knowing how to get your articles & message out to the market


• Pain of not wanting to screw up when trying the article marketing process


• Etc...

You'd want to pick only (1) pain point for each article. For this particular example, let's say you pick the first one, "Pain of losing a competitive advantage." With that in mind, you then identify the specific ingredients (strengths/benefits) of article marketing that would help relieve this particular pain. Some ingredients (strengths/benefits) might include:

• Worldwide exposure of your articles, and hence your products or services


• Scalable marketing


• Combined benefits of increased website traffic and improved credibility


• Zero up-front cash investment


• Highly targeted

The next step is to build your article around the pain point and the prescribed pain reliever ingredients. Each of the ingredients is explained in terms of how it can help alleviate the reader's particular pain.

The article wraps up by summarizing how your suggested pain reliever has many of the ingredients necessary to cure your reader's pain. Then of course your Resource Box gives them a link to obtaining your suggested pain reliever. In the case of this example, that link would probably be http://EzineArticles.com/submit/ or perhaps to the EzineArticles home page.

In a nutshell, the Pain Points article template works like this:

1. Choose (1) pain point of your ideal customer.


2. In the first paragraph or two clearly describe the target niche and identify with their specific pain point.


3. The next paragraph introduces your particular brand of pain reliever and an overview of the ingredients (strengths/benefits) that pertain directly to the reader's pain.


4. In the following paragraphs, these ingredients are explained in-depth in terms of how each can help alleviate the reader's particular pain.


5. Before closing the article, be sure to give an example or two of how others have gotten relief from their pain by following this prescription.


6. The closing paragraphs pull all of the ingredients back together to reinforce your pain reliever as the right one.


7. Finally, it's important that your Resource Box provides the reader access to your suggested solution for their pain.

At the risk of totally overdoing our medicine metaphor... this particular article template should be an easy pill to swallow. It's targeted, fairly simple to understand and it shows empathy for your niche customers. Best of all, this one template can provide many, many articles. How many is only limited to the number of pain points you can identify.

Set a goal for yourself to write at least (5) articles this week using this template. Then leave a comment here about what you discovered along the way:

The Recursive or Infinite Loop - Power RSS Marketing

What came first - the chicken or the egg?

Today I want to tell you a secret about the recursive loop or infinite loop.

In laymans language a recursive loop is - A link back to yourself - you probably even do a little bit of it yourselves already on your home sites navigation!
You most certainly are trying to achieve this very end in your link building practices!



In programming terms a recursive loop is a no-no in structured sequential logic, as the program would never end, although clever programmers use the function to do clever stuff!

In systems terms it's also usually a no-no because infinite repitition is not what is usually required!
You certainly would not expect to see recursive loops in an optimized linking network, would you?

Well guess what?!!

for Internet Marketers a recursive loop is

GOLDDUST!

Why?

2 little words I mentioned earlier - infinite repetition!

Imagine a system that would generate infinite repetition of links (with no duplicate penalties)

Well guess what folks - It already exists and it's OUT THERE - you just need to learn how to put the components together

You are so going to want to buy our system !
It's coming soon and it's going cheap!
I want everyone to know about this!

I'll be releasing the first part

The Secret YouTube RSS Feed! Video Pipes for marketing

As Nick says "when I ran across this..."

Wow - in part two of The System we are going to show you how to mash up and use RSS feeds for chunking large volumes of links around the web automatically using optimized network structures, but for those of you who are into video marketing- watch this!



great stuff nick!

Optimized Network Structures for Social Media Communities

We recommend that you read 'Network structure and the diffusion of knowledge'

Google currently has it at No.1 for the search term optimized network structures - watch this space tee hee!

It's a great paper for understanding structures in homogenised, heterogenous populations. Therefore it is brilliant as regards formed niche networks or Social Networks as seen on Social Media websites.

The overall analysis though is fundamentally flawed by design, as it skips over and fails to address the only thing that makes it applicable to three dimensional space and that is Spatial network analysis. Quoting Midgely is hardly an in depth report into the correct tools and models to use. I learnt more in 1975 about spatial interaction than is contained in this report....

But I'm not dissing it - think of it in terms of the things it doesn't want to address - innovation and product spread!
