Everyone who has built a website must know that the secret to success is building back links. This used to consist of hours of work finding sites and asking for reciprocal links unfortunately this no longer works as well as it did. When it comes to getting 1 way links there is a new kid on the block and that’s article marketing.

Every website owner needs fresh content. This keeps the search engine spiders coming back and indexing the site on a regular basis. Writing articles and distributing them is an excellent way of providing fresh content for webmasters while ensuring yourself a back link. In this article we’ll provide some answers for commonly asked questions.

What should I write about?

It is important that when you start out you write about what you know. You should also ensure that the content is relevant to the site you’ll be promoting in the resource box.

How are site owners going to find my articles?

When you have finished writing and checking your articles you will submit them to article directories. These are like online libraries where the articles are listed in categories. Webmasters can copy the articles from these directories and use them just so long as they keep all the links in the articles live. You’ll need to make sure that you have added a resource box to the bottom of your article that contains your links.

Don’t Webmasters just remove the links?

This does sometimes happen but it is often a genuine mistake. If you find one of your articles without live links a quick email to the site owner is usually all it takes to get the links restored. By using a unique pen name or a unique phrase in all your articles you’ll be able to trace them through Google much easier.

What length should the articles be?

Usually anywhere between 350 words and 500 words is ideal. If you find yourself writing longer article split them up into 2 or 3 separate articles

What is the ideal number of submissions?

Views are divided on this some people say submit them to as many sites as possible while others think you should only submit unique articles to each site. If you don’t have a tool that will help you to create unique articles then I would suggest making each submission to an article site with a PageRank of 4 or above unique.

Should I write lots of articles?

Write as many as you can. Some people find they can only write 1 or 2 a day while others like my wife can churn our 25-30 in a day. Set yourself a target of writing 1 before breakfast everyday to start with and then take it from there
