Allan Tan’s Internet Marketing Resource Centre

Article marketing is a big trend in internet marketing currently. Research has shown that the majority of consumers looking for products or services online are first looking for information on their planned purchases. Therefore it makes sense for those offering their products online to also provide that information–together in one location–so that consumers can go from reading to purchasing in one convenient seamless step.

One way to get this information to consumers is through the use of free article directories. Submitting articles relevant to the product or service you are offering is simple and quite effective. If you?re selling hardwood flooring, for instance, you can submit a short article about different types of hardwood. At the end of the article, simply insert links to your site with an invitation to the reader to visit.

These articles often turn up at the top of search engine rankings because of their keyword density, giving you added exposure. While you may need to pay a professional writer to churn out a few articles for you–depending on your writing ability–there is no fee to submit your articles to these directories. Consider writing one or two, and see how much traffic you can gain through the free incoming links.
