Article Marketing Backlinks

Article marketing is one of the more obvious ways to get backlinks and, if done correctly, can send an absolute flood of traffic to your website which will lead to social backlinks and a loyal following.

I recommend Street Articles for this. They are the most popular and fastest ranking article directory on the web. Sometimes, people's brand new articles go to first place within just a few hours of being published.

This is due to the fact that Street Articles has strict rules in place that force you to follow Google's rules. If you don't do this, they will reject the article. If you follow those same rules on your own website, you too will enjoy faster indexing from Google.

If you show Google some love, they are going to show you some love back.

There are different ways you can do this but my preferred method is it to do a very in-depth article on my website then go to street articles and do three to five smaller articles - kind of like teasers. Each of these articles needs to be informative but leave enough open so they will click the links and go to your site.

I also recommend you choose very specific keywords for each article and have the title of the article be the exact keyword for which you want to rank. For example, "How to catch more trout." or "How to fish for trout."

Keyword research is very important for this. Make sure the article is going to get some traffic by making sure the keyword is low competition with a nice amount of traffic.

Keep these articles between 400-600 words. This will allow you two links. I would point one of these links back to your site and use the other one to point at one of your other articles.

Google likes to see articles that point to more than one place. This will also provide backlinks for your Street Articles which will help them to rank higher.

I suspect that it's best to use the first link to point to your site and the second to another Street Article but I have not actually tested this so, if anyone has opinions on this, please leave them in the comments.
