Article marketing really is amazing! I don't know why I resisted the urge to write articles for so long. I think it might have had something to do with my 'lazy finger syndrome'. In other words I was just too lazy to try it. Now, a few months later, I am 'kicking myself' for not trying it sooner. But, better late than never I suppose.

I have to admit, that I started out small, just writing a few (about twenty) short articles. I researched some keywords first, by using the right keywords, its like you are throwing little 'read-me' magnets into your articles. The better keywords you find to use, then the more attention your article will get.

You can use one of the free keyword tools that Google has to find your keywords. With each article it is just a matter of using one of your keywords throughout each article. Once you have written your article, the next step is to get it published on your own blog or website. WordPress is a great blog to use because it is very user friendly and will let you publish each article as a separate web page. This is great, because if you publish each article on its own page (and use your keyword in the title), then your new web pages will become extremely search engine friendly.

The final stage is to publish your articles on a user friendly and popular article site (this is a perfect place to start) so that your article will get maximum exposure. This will ensure your article marketing efforts are put to good use, you will be amazed at how much free web traffic you will start to attract.
