A staple of linking almost since the inception of search engines, article marketing is most likely going to continue to work forever.It is a fairly simple process, just submit your articles via traditional submission process using both paid and free directories, this process will yield long term traffic generation and SEO benefits, then give your articles an extra boost, by providing your best original work to the top submission sites.Once you get your articles approved by the top directories, you will get immediate improvement in traffic generation and search engine ranking, even when targeting highly sought after keywords. Your results will be even better should you choose to target less competitive keywords.To turbocharge your article marketing, use the traditional submission methods, and make a couple of adjustments, that I will describe below.

You will increase traffic generation, both to your articles, and your website, improving your google ranking with the SEO benefit of additional unique targeted visitors, using turbocharged article marketing. Google takes notice of actual unique visitors who visit your site.You may take as much as 30 minutes to submit to each site, but the benefits are far greater than the cost in time. Be sure that you are aware of each sites submission guidelines, so that you can stay in compliance with Ezine and the other top sites requirements. Make sure that the links that you include in the last paragraph of your article, and your author resource box, are redirecting to your site, a misplaced letter or punctuation mark will defeat the purpose of your efforts. To get this technique to be effective, you need to regularly submit keyword rich articles to all the top directories. Another step for extra "link juice" would be to submit your author RSS feeds from each directory, to all of the RSS feed directories, in order to complete this process.

The judicious use of this article submission strategy, will help you to generate an ever increasing stream of uninterrupted traffic. A strategy of regular submissions to both EzineArticles and the other top directories will enhance your reputation, both on the directories and in the online community as a whole. Your goal should be to prove your status as an authority on your topic and in your niche, and give valuable contribution. Bearing that in mind, the turbocharged article marketing process is as follows.

1. Open an account with EzineArticles.com, and as many of the top 100 directories as you can manage to enter. Searching the term "free article directories" on google.com will render several sites on which you will find excel based lists, I recommend using at least the top 50 article directory sites.

2. Research the top articles in your niche on EzineArticles.com. You can find them by looking at the section titled "Top Viewed EzineArticles" in the category you are working in. You can also use this method to pick out niches with accessible ranking levels, by choosing the niches where the top articles have fewer than 10,000 views.

3. Write a group of unique keyword rich articles, and post them to EzineArticles.com, then spin the seed article using an article spinning software, generating 50 or more (however many different sites you intend to contribute to) unique copies of the content and submit them to your other article directory accounts. You can use articles written by other authors on the directories to kick start your thought process and inspire your creative process, but the original best effort should be posted to EzineArticles.com. Settle for nothing short of your best effort, including both a catchy title, and a thoughtfully composed resource box in order to induce readers to click through to your website.

4. Submit your articles to the directories, starting with EzineArticles.com and after Ezine, submit your unique articles created from the seed article you placed on ezine to Knol, WebPro, GoArticles and the other top 50 directories you have chosen to do submissions with.

5. Go to a traffic generation service, I like fiverr.com, and for $5 buy some traffic for your article. You can get a lot of views in a short period of time, boosting your articles into the top viewed category on Ezine Articles, thereby further increasing the number of views you receive there, and consequently, generating traffic and unique views for your website.

The search engines love to see links from varied sources on the internet, so submitting unique content to a multitude of article directories will have positive effect on your search engine ranking. Over the next several weeks I intend to provide a series of link building methodology wherein I illustrate the techniques that will result in successfully improving your search engine rankings, provided you remain persistent in the effort.For the foreseeable future, I will continue posting articles on the subject of free traffic generation, until I exhaust the topic, or exhaust myself. sometime in January, you can keep apprised of these submissions, on our blog, at EliKen Marketing.
