Many bloggers simply overlook article marketing as a way to promote their sites. If you want to make money blogging, this is a good way to get you moving in the right direction.
Every blogger who wants to make money online needs to write a few good articles on their niche and submit them to the top article directories. This will not only help you with your traffic numbers, it could prove to be a good way to get quality links pointing to your blog, and lots of them, if you write an informative article. Many webmasters only use content that comes from such article directories which must be used with your biography or resource box included, giving you all those free links.
If you’re a regular reader of Blueverse.com you will already know what this can do for the SEO of your blog.
Bloggers must look at writing an article to be submitted at an article directory as a way to build many links at once and not just as a way to get a few visitors to your web site. These are the best kind of links to have, they come from many different websites and will help to push your blog to the front page of Google for your targeted keywords.
Just make sure you get the most out of your resource or biography box by linking your website to the anchor text of the keywords you are wanting to rank high for.
I’ll bet you’ve already thought of a quality informational article you could write up in just a few minutes that would keep giving you links for many months to come, so what are you waiting for? Get out there and start submitting your articles to article directories, you will find that the bloggers who currently make money online, and lots of it, are all expert authors at the top article directories.

Just would like to add in what you have already written that the key to writing good articles is to write what you already know about your topic of choice. Never ever try to pass yourself off as an expert in a field you know nothing about. This damages your credibility and hurts your future efforts.
You must stick with what you know. If you need some help in getting started, you’ll find plenty of information about your subject. Take your time, and read what other authors are saying on your subject.

I agree that article marketing is a grate way to promotes ones site or blog. But I don’t think it’s necessary to submit to every article directory. Just the big ones will do.

I agree that now a days,most of the people write articles to get some traffic on their sites. But most of the people also earn some $$ through articles writing. I`ve also written many articles in the past and i`ve gotten some good traffic on my sites through my articles. Now i`m also seriously thinking of earning some money through my articles.

I definitely agree. Many blogs have amazing designs ad placement and the works but they dont have any content to build off of. Well,good content anyways. I am going to reffer this to starting bloggers I may see, because so many people have great potential with the way their blog looks but they do not have the content.
Great Read.

The only thing with this is, make sure that the content you submit to the article directories, is fresh, and not the same article that you have posted on your site, as then that is duplicate content, and I know Google really doesn’t like that for sure. But other than that it can be a good start to getting some traffic.

If you do plan to place the same article up, at least rewrite it so that it’s not duplicate content. This way it can contain similar information, but still be “fresh” to the readers.

Writing paid articles is good way to increase your profit, but remember that they should be good quality and smart-written. If you won’t write promotional article in a smart way it’ll look like regular advertisement. If people will notice that the articles are written just to make money and they don’t contain useful information most probably they’ll bury your blog amongst their friends…
Moreover, I agree with sunken. The worst thing in the internet is if you’ll go on one blog and then on another you might see the same articles! If you want to show that something is worth seeing it’s better to comment it in your article and include a hyperlink to commented article. People would like to know others’ opinion about different stuffs and that is why they do read blogs.

I’ve learned many things about SEO and blogging from Blueverse. I agree with the fact that you have to write daily to keep up the traffic. If your website contains duplicated material, it will keep your users away!

I think writing articles is a great way to get some money . I hate when same articles are on 2 different website . That’s very annoying because one person spends probably several hours on writing it and other just copy , paste it without even asking the real writer.
