Article Marketing - Explaining the Mystery of Article Marketing

Article marketing is one of the easiest ways to generate quality targeted traffic to your web site, and yet it remains a mystery to so many people online.

I intend to take the mystery out of article marketing in this article why is of course written as part of a massive article marketing campaign.

So what is article marketing?

Article marketing involves the writing of short internet based articles for the purpose of submitting them to online article directories which will publish the articles as content for their own website and offer the articles as content for other websites. This provides content for their web sites, and in exchange, they are willing to give your link some exposure.

One of the keys to article marketing is creating an author bio which includes at least one link to your website, and is generally placed at the end of your article. This link is one of the most critical components of the article marketing strategy, as that link will drive the bulk of the traffic that is central to just about any article marketing purpose. When people click on your link, they of course get to visit your site and the rest is up to you.

When you submit your articles to an online article directory, they will first approve or disapprove the article based on its quality and relevance to the theme of their website. In most cases, if the articles are written with decent language and grammar, are written about a topic that is included in their directory (and there are many that are general-purpose),and contain reputable content of just about any kind that is legal, the article directories will generally publish the articles. And that is about it now you know how the process of article marketing works.

The next step is to start writing articles, including your links, and submitting them to the right directories.
