Article Marketing: Dress Up Your Own Site

By Isabel Stravinsky


Article directories are a fantastic way to submit high quality content, have webmasters pick them up, and for you to reap fantastic back links towards your site. Still, all directories have restrictions and these restrictions might limit the number of quality links you put within the body of your article or strip them out entirely. If you run your own site, these rules have no bearing on how you manage your site. The following are some strategies I have employed that not just have given my site a Google page rank of 6, but have helped me to maximize my articlesexposure on the internet.

Lots of links. My articles have got a similar resource box to those found on article directories, but I don't stop there. Within the body of an article, I frequently add additional links, sometimes lots of links to other sites. They don�t have to be to sites I run, but to other high quality sites. If I am writing an article regarding Ford cars, you better believe it that I have links to pages for the Ford Mustang, to the Explorer, and any other vehicles I mention. Google seems to like these types of pages as several of my articles are providing ranked high as well. One article already pulled down a page rank of 4!

Add pictures. A picture speaks a thousand words A picture can help your article look more professional. I too will utilize a corporation logo, if I have express permission. With some of my links and pictures I can hyperlink them to other pages on my site or to other sites altogether.

Welcome the robots. I mentioned in another article that Googlebot is my friend. Do everything possible to keep your site crisp, clean, and clear and toss out anything that looks spammy. Most of my articles also have the requisite AdSense ads on them in part for me to create income, but also to notify me if the ads served up are about the article I wrote. Almost without exception they are, but you need to check back to verify.

So, why go through all this trouble? Hopefully, to bring in additional business for yourself. Most of the work that I get is directly from my site, which I only set up on Will 31, 2005! Not a bad track list, don't you agree? If I can do it, you might do it also! What are you waiting for? Get started nowadays.
