If you are trying to make money online, then you will need to promote a website, whether you own the URL of that site or whether it is an affiliate link is not important

Whichever scheme you operate, the problem is the same: how to get enough interested visitors to you website, so that, if they are interested in your product, you have a chance to sell it to them, if they can afford it, before they become so distracted that they click away.

This is the biggest common problem that every single marketer faces, and it is called attracting targeted traffic, getting relevant visitors or something very similar. All the phrases mean the same ultimately. If no one can see your product they cannot buy it or if your visitors are mainly young people interested in football, it is no good trying to sell them knitting needles.

Therefore, you obviously need as many visitors interested in your product, as you can handle. Which means that you need to be highly ranked in the search engines and directories so that people can find your site. The biggest and most often-used search engine is Google. So, how do you become highly ranked in Google?

There are thousands of books on this subject, but without exception, the serious ones come to the same conclusion, unless they were written by self-interested safe-list or traffic exchange owners. And that conclusion is that you need links to your site.

Not many people will honestly admit to knowing how Google ranks sites in its search engine, but it is generally agreed that the more sites linking to your site the better. This has lead some webmasters to try exchanging links with each other. It sounds an easy way to get links but it doesn’t work because Google can recognize reciprocal links. The best links are one-way links, because it proves that someone places enough value on your website to want to be associated with it. These are called back links.

That means that the real problem boils down to how to get enough back links to your website to persuade Google (and the other search engines) that you run such an important website that they ought to rank it highly for your chosen keywords, which should be relevant to the content of your website. How do you do that?

There are many strategies you can employ such as traffic exchanges, safelists, FFAs, forums and writing articles, but to be blunt, the first three of these are a total waste of time. I used to own a safelist and have wasted thousands of hours on traffic exchanges, all for nothing. Posting to forums can be worthwhile, but then ONLY if the link on your post is a follow link. If it is not, it doesnt do any good and most are no follow links. This means that you have to do some research to find the forums where it is worth you posting to (more on this later). That leaves writing articles as the ONLY sure way to get rock-solid back-links to your site based on relevant keywords.

So, you write an article on a subject relevant to your site stuffed (but not over-stuffed) with relevant keywords but then what do you do? Thats easy! You search Google for article directories, lists and blogs; sign up to a couple of dozen of the relevant ones or in the related categories and post your article to them.

And that is how you get the best links to become highly ranked, so that people can find you, so that they have a chance to buy what you are selling. The only catch is that Google will expect to see new links appearing on a regular basis, which means writing and posting time after time after time after time ad infinitum. Or does it?

Yes, it does, unfortunately. But the process can be automated and automation is the key to online marketing success. Set up a proven, successful process and let it run ” day and night: all day and all night! I use a system that helps turn an article into thousands of variations and posts them to thousands of search engines, directories, lists and websites, creating literally thousands of back-links!

But don’t think that these variations are just spun! (The industry standard way of creating article variations is to use spinning software to substitute synonyms and pseudo-synonyms eg crimson for scarlet in a random way. This works to a certain degree but can produce pure gibberish too sometimes - who would recognize Crimson O’Hara?). The system I use does not employ this method, but still produces thousands or variants all written by human hand. Then it sends them out to article directories and blogs etc.. Thousands of them. In fact today, there are over 11,000 sites on their list and the list is kept fresh on a monthly basis. Most similar lists are not well maintained because it is so time-consuming to do. Therefore, many contain lots of dead, useless links.

This system will take your article, create thousands of variations and then post them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line, which you can also vary. But not only that! It only posts your article to sites that want sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you may choose! So you could write say, three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 150 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 150 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 75 sites a day.

That would give your site at least 3,000 links in a month or 100 a day ” all for 2-3 hours work! If you wrote one article a day (an hours work) and it got posted to only 1,000 relevant sites, you would have 30,000 relevant links in a month. And that does not include the bloggers, ezine publishers and webmasters who paste your article into their publication with your link. You could easily end up with 40-50k links. But it doesnt even stop there, because the article will be live for years and years, quietly beavering away at getting you noticed by the search engines and the people searching them. How many sales could that get you?

If you would like to see an example of this systems output, you are reading one ” this article and if you would like to find out how you can do the same, just follow the link in my by-line attached to it.

I was just musing whether you realized how much article submission software has improved over the last few years? For example, this article was written and submitted to thousands of directories on auto-pilot over a period of a month by the world’s most advanced article management software.

Please, you don’t want to miss out on this, as it really is that important, if your online strategy involves promoting any kind of website on the Internet.

Frankly, there is simply no other traffic generation system that works better, costs less, and is completely immune to search engine changes.

Remember, this is not some fancy new black-hat technique. It is completely legitimate, completely solid, and completely reliable. This system will take your article, create thousands of variations and then post them to thousands of sites. All with your sites link in the by-line. But not only that! It only posts your article to sites that want sites like yours (based on your chosen keywords) and posts according to a schedule chosen by you: ie 10, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 posts a day, starting on any future date you choose! So you could write say, three articles and have the first one go out starting the next day at 300 a day; the second one starting after seven days at 100 sites a day; and the third starting after two weeks at a rate of 50 sites a day.

What really is new is that this already well-established method of promotion has now been put on steroids. It combines, for the very first time ever, the power of article submission with the benefits of unique content and it does it in such a way that it really is simplicity itself to use.

It is worthwhile devoting a bit of time investigating this software, if you are seriously trying to promote something online. It will make your job much easier by automating a lot of the problems associated with article submission.

Don’t forget that an organic link on the first page of Google provides about six times the traffic of a sponsored (Adsense) link on the same page. Just how much would you value that each month? Now multiply that by a hundred or a thousand and you begin to appreciate the value of this method!
