Marketing my online businesses

First of all I would like to talk about article marketing, I am a member of the warrior forum which if anyone is serious about online marketing I highly recommend you join.
The first steps I have taken to market my businesses is article marketing, so far I have written several articles myself but i have just employed a ghostwriter to write 15 articles for me. I am still waiting on the articles so will inform you of their quality and traffic generation when I recieve them.

To market my articles and get free traffic I am basically following the principles of a thread started on the warrior forum by Jeffrey louis. First off I have found my keywords after much research. If you would like an excellent resource for helping you find quality keywords without much competition you must get this cheap ebook by JJOrana.

Now to optimize your article with keywords you should pick the word you want to focus on and put it in the title. This keyword should also appear in the summary.
When writing the body of the article try to put the keyword in no more than a 1% ratio, what this means is if you have a 500 word article mention your keyword 5 times. The most important part of an article is the resource box, if you are focusing on one keyword it should be used as your anchor text. For your resource box dont just write " Jamie lovering is a success coach for more information click here" it is not very enticing and does not give readers much of an incentive to click through to your website or blog, which is the point of the article in the first place.

Try to make your resource box part of your story/article. This make people continue reading your article and assume your resource box is part of it and will be more likely to click on your links.

Once you have found your keywords and written your kick ass article next thing to do is to submit it, this is where I follow Jeffrey's advice. Join up with www.ezinearticles.com as they are one of the biggest article directories around and will give your articles lots of clout.

Submit your article here wait for it to be approved and then wait one week. After that week resubmit your article at a further 10 article directories including

1. Go Articles (goarticles.com)
2. Articles Base (articlesbase.com)
3.Search Warp (searchwarp.com)
4. Article Dashboard (articledashboard.com)
5. Buzzle (buzzle.com)
6. Article Alley (articlealley.com)
7. Amazines (amazines.com)
8. Isnare (isnare.com)
9. Article City (articlecity.com)
10.Article Marketer (articlemarketer.com)

The only difference in your article being your resource box , have one link pointing to your website and the second link pointing to your original ezinearticle.com article. This should give your article so much clout it will rank on first page of google for your chosen keyword in no time at all.

After doing above I add my own spin by respinning my articles and posting them to up to 30 blogs this is all done for me on autopilot basically through the Free Traffic System , follow the same format use a link to my site I want to promote and a Link back to my original article. Now just rinse and repeat.

I would like to say a special thankyou to Jeffrey louis for sharing this on the warrior forum.
