Article marketing has become one of the most talked about strategies for Internet marketing lately. As one of the chief components in the bum marketing, and its newfound popularity is due to two significant characteristics: it’s free, and it works.

Article marketing provides Internet marketers with two important benefits. First, it creates wider exposure for the author and their website. Secondly, it provides valuable inbound links or IBL’s.

As with most bum marketing techniques, article marketing is a numbers game. In order to be effective, it requires ongoing and consistent effort. One article submission may not do much for you, but one article submitted every day for two weeks provides an overall benefit greater than the sum of its parts.

In order to maximize your article submission strategy, you should target a single keyword or phrase for each individual article. Care should be taken to optimize the article, just as you would optimize a website. After all, each article, you have out their is in fact a one-page mini site.

You optimize an article for the search engines the same way you would for a web page. Put your keyword or phrase in the article title, as the beginning of the first paragraph, the beginning of the last paragraph, and for the anchor text in your link or resource box.

If you follow these few simple steps, your return on investment of time will be maximized. Article marketing should be one part of every Internet Marketer’s multipronged strategy, as it can be extremely effective and very inexpensive.
