Benefits of Article Marketing- #4 Social Bookmarking and Blogging

No article marketing discussion today can leave out social bookmarking and blogging. You can benefit both from increased traffic and search engine bait from bookmarking your articles to relevant social directories.

When you look at your article marketing efforts it should include blogging and social bookmarking. The benefits of social bookmarking can include search engine bait as well as traffic from your various articles.

This is not an article about how to do social bookmarking or search engine optimization. What I do want to get across is that you can take your articles that you have written and rewrite them slightly and then post them on your blog. Try and make it about 30% unique and just your keyword phrase in the title of the blog post.

This makes sense to do because you want to keep everything on your blog and website unique. Your goal is to have all of your content from your articles different than what you are submitting to social bookmarking directories and article directories.

If you are not familiar with social bookmarking Google search the words “Digg, Propeller, Stumbleupon. These are three of the top directories to social bookmark each blog article too.

The point I want to make is if you keep them different from the ones that you are putting online anywhere else you can really get some great search engine benefit out of your articles.

Right now, search engines love blogs as the rightly should. Good blog articles make a search engines job much easier.

They love to take a blog article and stick it on page 1 for relative keyword extremely quickly. You will be amazed once you start to do this how you can be on page 1 of various keyword phrases within 24 hours or less just from using article marketing and blogging.

Because search engines are going to spider these large directories more often than they will spider your blog you want to social bookmark your blog article. You are creating a back link back to your blog, but they may rank the actual article that you have submitted to the social directory before they rank the one on your blog.

When you take your articles and use them in various ways this is another example of how article marketing can benefit your business. Because they can help drive your traffic through the roof if you don’t have a blog yet you need to get one and start mastering social bookmarking techniques!

How to Make Money With Google AdSense and Blogging

A website on mortgages will earn a lot more per click than a website on cartoons.

Also some say that to be successful in Google Adsense marketing you must develop websites that contain focused and fresh content: articles, audios, videos, etc. Indeed, that’s a conventional and true way. Just to qualify that statement, there are also other ways to do get targeted traffic ready to click your Ads without doing these things. Its not Arbitrage, if that’s what you’re thinking. Google doesn’t like Arbitrage sites…still arbitrage works if you know how to do it. (that’s another branch and you can’t do it all folks)

What’s so cool about these sites it the fact that once established, you just sort of forget them. They keep making money, month in and month out. I’ve got AdSense sites that are over three years old that I’ve never touched that keep churning out money for me.

Original content can be tracked by Google, and make sure that your website is worth catching attention. Put yourself in an unbiased shoe and ask yourself: if I did not make this website, will I even be browsing this page?

Step 3 is to increase your traffic so you have enough visitors coming to the site via organic searches. The reason you want a good amount of traffic prior to putting AdSense ad units on your site is to enable you to have enough of a basis for testing your ad placements. Without a decent amount of incoming traffic, you cannot test new ad placements properly.

Starting your blog and adding AdSense to it is very easy but the hard comes next when it is time to get traffic. Stick to your goal and you will accomplish it, or you may follow step by step guides on how to complete this process from beginning to end, there are many resources on the web that are very helpful on this subject.

I came across this AdSense cash guide that I thought was very helpful in getting everything set up from creating a blog in WordPress, picking a good niche and monetizing it with AdSense in your blog. Plus they tell you which WordPress theme should be used for this purpose. I know it can be very hard to pick a WordPress theme that you feel will be compatible to what you want to present on the web, I had that problem picking out themes and trying to see if they worked; not knowing how to tweak the code to make it unique so it is a good idea to get help needed if you’re pulling out your hair not knowing what to do. This way you will save many hours of researching on just a theme which should be a simple process to focus on the revenue aspect.

After creating a blog and having a group of followers who read and subscribe to your blog, you will find that they’ll be reading and commenting on every post you publish on your blog, and you will develop a true following of your work. So, why shouldn’t you make some money from people visiting your site? You’ve put a lot of effort and work into producing content for your readers – making some money by displaying ads from Google AdSense shouldn’t be shameful, now should it?
