Article Marketing The Two Ways to Do It

Article marketing is such an effective method of generating web traffic, and yet there are two ways to do it effectively, and without knowing which of the two you are doing and how to do them most effectively, it is easy to have wasted efforts.

With either of these two methods of article marketing, each is best utilized with a full-force effort, and if you combine the two haphazardly, I do not believe you gain the full effect.

So what are the two different methods of article marketing. One is article marketing for direct traffic by submitting multiple articles to a small database of article directories that get the bulk of the article directory traffic online.

The second is article marketing for backlinks which improves your search engine ranking so you get indirect traffic via the search engines. To do this, you write a few articles with your links inside and submit them to at least 100 of the article directories.

You may be thinking, well arent those two methods just about the same?

Well, in fact, they are very different. When you use one or the other you get very specific results, and when you mix the two, sometimes you get less powerful results because each method works best when used in force.

In the first case, you are writing multiple articles but it is senseless to submit them to more than the top 3 or 4 web sites out there, because they dont get enough traffic to help you with direct traffic.

With the second method, you really need to submit to multiple web sites to get your url out there, but you only need to submit about 1 article per month you just have to submit it to a lot of directories.
