Creative Methods For Greater Exposure For Your Content

By Rob Fore


As an online business owner, and possibly article marketer, we know you are always in search of new places to market your business. The obvious design on that is to drive more traffic to your site for your end goals.

Most people tend to follow the same basic methods, and people are creatures of habit and will also have a preference for avoiding striking out on their own. Remember that you have to test and give new things a chance, and that will sometimes yield fruit for you. Those who do well in business tend to have similar traits, behaviors and beliefs.

You may know that when Google instituted the update known as Panda or Farmer, article marketing was forever changed. Whereas in the past, all you had to do to get your article highly ranked was to submit it to one of the top directories, since early 2011, this no longer works as well. While you still can submit your articles to directories, this shouldn't be your primary focus at this stage of the game. The only real value of the directories at this point is that they are a platform where they can be discovered and republished by others -i.e. content syndication. There's nothing mysterious about content syndication -as an article marketer, the main thing to focus on is quality, as this will cause others to want to use your content. Many article marketers simply publish single articles and then don't follow up in any way. That is a huge mistake because you cannot allow yourself to be subject to the whims of the business environment. We will illustrate our point with an example, and it is something you can do and build upon. Locate some of the largest and most popular websites and blogs on subjects related to your own. Ask some of these bloggers and site owners if you could send them some content that they might like to publish. If you can provide links to other related articles you've published in the past, so much the better.

There is still quite a buzz about taking your marketing to FaceBook, and there are compelling reasons for it. Create your own group there, and you can do that and invite other groups to join yours, etc. Once you are in, then you begin showcasing your content to all the other users and also do some networking. You will be strengthening your brand due to the fact people can see who you are, and then just go from that point onward.

You cannot afford to have really off days with creating traffic to your site, so you have to do more. Once you take action on this, then you will understand the power of these methods. As with all forms of content publishing, you will need to give this strategy time to work.

Diversity in your marketing and advertising is one of the key components to a strong marketing effort.
