Article Marketing - Spreading The WordMay 26, 2009We've been talking about the power of article marketing to promote your brand and how to pick the best media outlets for your submission. Now let's take a look at some alternate distribution methods to get your article noticed. Why Bother Submitting your article to a distribution service has tremendous SEO value and can results in more traffic to your website. Just be sure to include your URL in your article - either in your signature block or in the resource box provided - and when your article is distributed to 100s of media outlets, so is your website address. Article Directories There are numerous online article directories that will host and/or publish your article in targeted websites, blogs, ezines or even by RSS syndication. Most take just a few minutes to set up an account and get started. Some offer their service for free and others charge a modest service fee; beware of any website with exorbitant fees! Here are a few of the top services: ArticleDashboard.com ArticleTrader.com ArticleMarketer.com iSnare.com SearchWarp.com Social Media You can also use popular social media sites to promote your article or blog and drive traffic back to your site. For example, every time I post a new article here, I update my Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn status to let people know. Here's an example Tweet from the weekend:  By tweeting, I make my article visitble to the more than 1,000 Twitter followers I have. But that's not the end of it. Within minutes of tweeting, my Twitter friend @martinwaxman retweeted me, effectively promoting my article to the 1,000+ people following him.  The next day, another follower retweeted me and the process repeated itself.  How do you promote your articles? Share your ideas here or send me an email. In the days ahead, we'll take a look at article writing tips and resources. Posted by Sima Dahl on May 26, 2009 | Comments (2) Industries: Sales and Marketing

In response to: Article Marketing - Spreading The Word Martin Waxman commented: Thanks Sima. I think this is a great subject to discuss. In a world where 'content' is king (or queen), writing your organization's story is an effective way to reach its target audience.
