How I submitted my internet marketing articles to only
20 sites but within no time 16,000 other high traffic websites
had also posted them

There is no internet marketing chore that I enjoy more than
doing a regular google search to check the viral effect and
progress of my online marketing articles. Within a recent
short period I saw the number of websites where my articles
are listed grow by a staggering 16,000.
The full implications of this is that without me lifting
a finger 16,000 more websites, blogs and their pages, with
search engine prominence, now contain my articles. This means
that even if just one person in the entire month reads only
one of my articles in each of those locations, I will end
up with a total of 16,000 unique readers per month. And without
any more effort on my part.
But for articles to enjoy this kind of magic they must have
3 key ingredients.
An effective internet marketing article will have a good
headline What causes you to click on a link or ad? What attracts
your interest to any content online? It is of course a headline.
Writing headlines is an art in itself. Those who are good
at it, earn a lot of money. Tabloids like the National Enquirer
or The Sun in Britain understand the power of a headline because
they've sold millions of copies of their publications regularly
for many years and it all hinges on how effective the main
headline is.
I learnt this lesson well in my offline marketing days when
a newsletter I used to publish would sell a few hundred copies
on one headline and then sell over 300,000 copies with another
headline.
On the net, headlines are even more important and when writing
articles you should bear this in mind. Apart from taking care
of the keywords (with search engines or google adsense ads
in mind), your headline should be so enticing that anybody
mildly interested in the subject you are covering will want
to read it.
In writing this article, this are the headlines I considered
and discarded before I ended up with the headline I used.
Study them carefully and learn something about internet marketing
headlines.
- 3 things an effective internet marketing article must
have
- Why my internet marketing articles posted in only 20
sites suddenly appeared in 16,000 other websites shortly
after
- Why my internet marketing articles grew from being in
only 20 sites to 16,000 within no time
- 3 things an internet marketing article needs to go crazily
viral
I would have chosen this last headline listed here, except
that more specific headlines are more believable in a World
Wide Web that is choked with hype these days.
An effective internet marketing article must contain useful
information or tips Why would somebody bother to take an article
and post it at their website or blog? There is only one reason
that would cause them to do this. Your article must contain
useful and valuable information. Some internet marketers deliberately
hold back vital information and refer others to their websites
for it. This is a mistake because the reader will judge you
from the information they read in your article. If there is
little or no information then the assumption is that your
website will not be any different and probably has more of
the same.
Remember that online there is always too much to do and too
many websites to visit. So for anybody to visit your site,
they will need to see some really useful and valuable information.
An effective internet marketing article must be well written
Your internet marketing article must be very well written
to be read and posted widely. Remember that people on the
net are in a hurry and they have the widest choice mankind
has ever had in history. So if they have a problem making
head or tail of what you are trying to say in your article,
with a simple, impatient click of the mouse, they will move
elsewhere.
Online writing should be brief, direct and to the point.
It also helps a great deal if the article is broken down the
way it has been here, with simple points listed in bold.
With a little effort, most people can write reasonably well.
But even if you can't good online writing services are very
affordable. In fact the going rates are so dirt cheap that
many offline writers used to earning a minimum of $500 for
any piece of writing they do, are bitterly complaining. Luckily
their complaints haven't changed anything.
