Very few people know how to use free promotional articles properly as marketing tools. And yet the truth is that it is difficult to find a more effective marketing tool anywhere. Actually there are few subjects that are as misunderstood on the World Wide Web as free promotional articles are. Many will even swear that they do not work at all.
If you have used articles in the past and have ended up frustrated, but have read this far, then keep reading because you are about to discover some amazing stuff.
For starters there are many different techniques that can be applied when using free promotional articles. Let us look at them in order of their effectiveness.
The most effective way to generate lots of targeted hits at your site is to publish a useful article with links pointed at your site at a high traffic blog that deals with the same subject that your site specializes on. Most bloggers will welcome help generating content for their sites, especially if the content is free. You will be able to offer this content for free in return for links pointed at your site.
If you choose the right blogs to do a deal with you can easily generate your 2,000 hits a day with half a dozen articles or so. Alternatively you can combine this technique with other highly effective free promotional articles techniques to get your 2,000 hits a day.
This approach of making deals with high traffic blogs has a huge advantage over posting articles at article directories, which is what most people do. Always remember that there are many disadvantages with having your articles posted at article directories, which you need to appreciate and understand before you post your articles there. Personally I do post my articles at various article directories sometimes but my objectives are usually very different (more on that in my other articles). Article directories are quite often visited by online pirates who steal your content and pass it off as their own. Others will re-post your article minus the resource box at the bottom, which will not be of much help. In fact if you are not careful your original article can get pushed off the search engine index as duplicate content, by copycats passing it off as their own.
