Article Marketing - Proof That It Drives Traffic!
Apr 2nd, 2008 by admin
Article marketing is touted by many internet marketing gurus as a great way to pull targeted traffic into your web pages … are they right?
Well my experience says yes and no. Outside of the internet marketing niche I would categorically say yes it works well, but within the online marketing niche I’ve had limited success with article marketing.
Take a look at the screenshot above … the article on EzineArticles.com occupying the number one spot in Google for the term “how to become incorporated” is MINE!
That’s right … my article has beaten 32.1 million other sites to Number 1! If that doesn’t impress you then how about this … it’s been Number One for 15 months!!
Not only that, it’s also No.1 on Yahoo and No.4 on MSN too!
So how much traffic does an article like this, in a very specific niche get when it receives a top ranking?
Quite a lot actually … 4,165 page views in 15 months! 
Obviously not everyone who reads the article will click through to your site, but let me tell you … this one article has earn’t me quite a bit of Adsense revenue!
One of the reasons I targeted the keyword phrase “how to become incorporated” is that I knew from my keyword research that each Adsense click would earn me between 50 cents and $2 per click! 
So you can quickly see that this one article has done very nicely for me! Very nicely indeed. All I need to do is replicate this example over and over again and watch the adsense and affiliate income role in!
So article marketing works … in the right niches it works really, really well!
Undoubtedly keyword research is the key to success with article marketing. Using Keyword Elite, I found a keyword phrase that I could rank well for, that would get traffic and at the same time would pay very well for Adsense clicks!
This one article that resulted directly from my Keyword Elite research has paid for the software multiple times over!
There are a number of reasons why this article has done so well for me. I’ll talk about them in a couple of days … but one question you should be asking yourself is “why has the article ranked so well for SO LONG?”
I will tell you but not today!
In the meantime … Go get yourself a copy of Keyword Elite … put your keyword research on another level … find out in minutes which phrases to target in articles to bring you good rankings and good Adsense income!
