Article Marketing: Learn how to double your articles submission!

I know there is a whole lot of income to be made on the Internet, you must stay focused and willing to follow the steps and do the hard work.

Article submission is a guaranteed way to receive tons of backlinks/traffic to your website. Search Engines love new information and especially from sites like article directories. Make sure when you right the article, you keep it simple and straight to the point. Offer information by giving bulleted tips to make for easier reading. My favorite two article sites are Ezine Articles and Articles Base There are plenty more but I suggest you start off with these two. Once you get comfortable, do a search for "article submission sites", or "article submission software".

A few key article submission guidelines to remember when you write your articles ;

Always provide your website address in your signature/resource block.
Use your niches keywords in the title of the article this will help you rank higher than others.
Publish articles any where from once to twice a week.

Happy Submitting. Remember bulk article submission over a few weeks should make a difference.

Now that my blog is up an running,(though design limited for now) but functional enough to where I can post and publish new material. My next focus was getting an audience that wanted to read my material. Driving traffic to my blog looks as if it will probably be my biggest challenge.

Being able to optimize a blog would require that the correct keywords were used that relate to your niche। Search engines like Google, Yahoo, also love receiving new material, so updating your blog to keep it with fresh interesting material was also a must। If not everyday, than at least every other day. Now, a good way to start getting your blog viewed by others is to to submit them into blog directories. If you really want to get specific, finding blog directories related to your niche should also help. See the list below for the first few I have submitted to.

I also found a great list of other directories from this website, How To Drive Traffic To your Blog. I will post a more extensive list once I find out the results to my submissions.

WordPress Vs Blogger

OK now that I have made up my mind. I faced picking which blog platform to go with, I know I am not ready to have my own domain/host site as of yet. So I looked at Blogger or Wordpress, if anything I knew that I wanted the flexibility to modify my site to fit my needs in the future, and I know that I wanted access to alot of predefined gadgets. Both site were free, and gave me access to alot of helpful tools. Though I selected Blogger in the end Lets take a look at the facts of what I discovered in the end after evaluating the facts .

Blogger Benefits:

Ability to modify HTML, and CSS.
Very user friendly
Allows me to monetize my blog with Google AdSense
Many Widgets
Works great with googles other tools.

Blogger Hiccups:

Not many free templates

WordPress.org Benefits:

You can download free templates. Many can be found all just by using a search engine to search.

WordPress.org Cons:

Can't monetize blog with AdSense

This is just my pros and cons about these two and what I was looking for, it may not necessarily fit everyone else's needs. Before you select one make sure you research to see which one most benefits you.
