As always, sharing your expertise comes with many benefits, so lets look at some tips for maximizing your article marketing efforts in terms of link building, traffic generation, and reputation building.
Submit to High PR Sites - PR stands for Google Page Rank, a system for ranking a websites visibility within Google. A higher PR website gets visited more often from the Google spiders, so links from sites with higher PR will have a bigger impact on your search engine exposure. There are plenty of free article directories with PR 5 and PR 6. These offer the most value, but you will also find it useful to submit to a number of PR 4 and PR 3 sites as well. Find the best article submission sites at directorycritic.com.
Link to High Value Pages on Your Site - Your most valuable pages, at least when it comes to search engine optimization and marketing, are your keyword focused content pages. Inbound links are only going to have a good impact on your traffic if those links point to content rich pages using profitable keywords that you have carefully researched. You not only want to link to high value pages in the search engines eyes, but also pages that the direct visitors you receive will also find useful. And, of course, the page you link to should add value to you and your business. It should be able to convert into leads, sales, or profits from whatever monetization model you use.
Use Appropriate Anchor Tags - Be sure to use anchor text in the links in your articles. Anchor text is when you embed your links within a word or phrase, giving your link the added value of relevance. You can use the primary keywords of the web page you are linking to for your anchor text. For example, if the page you were linking to used the keyword "pet tricks," that would be the perfect keyword for you anchor text.
