Most people acknowledge Article Marketing can be counted as one of the most economical and powerful modes of internet marketing. Create fresh online content, write-ups which are informative, and carry conviction, and guarantee yourself incessant traffic, absolutely free, as long as you continue to sell. And you'll never want to call a halt to your article-writing effort. That's out of the question, when you've found such a surefire way to sell!

Positively, the greatest outcome of your efforts will be in the form of back-links your writing is likely to generate. Every new back-link improves the possibility of a high rank given by SEs. What more could you want?!

These, then, are my six secret strategies:

Secret Strategy #1: Write And Submit. Write And Submit.

Are you capable of writing and submitting an essay exclusive to every article directory? You should aim for just that if you want to take on your competition, by the horns. Article directories abound that could generate back-links that business rivals in your segment regularly exploit.

If you think a solitary article featured in many directories will result in the same number of backlinks, you'd better reconsider. Major search engines, especially Google, are inclined to only recognize the first article submitted as content not duplicated from elsewhere, and consign the rest to their supplemental indices.

And just in case you are dreaming about making many spun versions of the first 'seed' article, so as to submit 'originals' to the many article directories, you are unlikely to enhance your standing, in the internet market. Spun versions of articles are considered rubbish, and are more likely to induce laughter than links. ( Click here to read a typical "spun" article, if you need a good laugh).

So, go right ahead and discover how to keep writing and submitting articles

Secret #2: Create Hundreds Of 'As-Good-As-Original' Clones Of The First Article

A problem with 'spun' articles, besides the fact that they are time-consuming to produce, is that they are bound to be detected by content-duplication software employed by Search engines (SEs). Additionally, spun articles normally have identical titles and anchor-texts, thus increasing the ease of their detection.

Secret #3: Register For Submission With Hundreds Of Directories

This involves a lot of donkey-work, which is unavoidable, if you want to see great results.
Luckily, this is a one-time effort, after which you can go on submitting articles for ever.

Secret #4: Drip-submit Your Articles To Directories

En masse submission of articles entails that SEs treat back-links resulting from them, within a short span of time, with distrust. SEs want back-links to increase gradually generated over a period of time; as a result, en masse generation of back-links will probably work against your interests. You will merely be deprived of credit for the back-links, and that's the good news. At worst, your site could even get sandboxed by SEs.

Secret Strategy #4: With The Right Category You Can't Go Wrong

This isn't always possible as you can't submit different versions of the same article in the same category across all directories, because all the directories don't have the same set of categories. Picture yourself writing an article on "How To Display Your Love" in order to sell an ebook on love, and that could get submitted under "internet marketing". Many submission software programs do exactly that. It is unlikely to do much for your sales.

The solution lies in employing a mode of submission that insures your article gets posted, under the appropriate category in every directory.

Secret Strategy #6: Keep Track And Resubmit If Submissions Fail

Often, automated submission fails to submit your articles to some directories, for any of a host of reasons. Most of these automated submissions track submissions, to establish whether or not they happened. Some of them provide reports to users which inform you about any failure to submit. You should go with a submission software that automatically resubmits an article whenever there's a submission failure.

These secret strategies imply honest-to-goodness work. However if you rise to the challenge, you are sure to leave your rivals behind.
