What is Article Marketing?
Article Marketing is a free form of advertising that refers to promoting your business, service, website or products (or affiliate products) by writing short articles about them and submitting those articles to article sites. And if done correctly writing articles with high-quality and relevant content can drive up your search engine ranking.
How to write an article?
The ideal size of your articles to get listed within search engines should range anywhere from 300-500 words in length. But note that with different article directories your article content can be more. Keywords or main phrases should appear in your title, intro and content of your article but be careful not to use them too much or search engines will consider them as spam and you will not be listed. Use Google AdWords-Keyword Tool (free) to help improve your article listing performance.

Where can I submit my articles when I’m done?
Here is a list of some of the top article submission directories:
EzineArticles
Squidoo
USFreeAds
GoArticles
Suggestions: only submit the same article to one place. Why? because Google and other search engines do not like duplication of the same content and will remove your article from their listings. Now, if you want to submit the same article to several different article directories, you can by altering the content around so that each article you submit is somewhat different.
Anyone can succeed at article marketing and the best thing for you to do is to set yourself some goals. Each day set aside enough time to write 1-2 articles so that by the end each month you will have about 20-40 articles bringing you in traffic (and hopefully sales). With article marketing the advantage is that you don’t have to be a professional to write an article. If you are new to internet (or affiliate) marketing and funds are low then article marketing is the best way because you can do it FREE!
Final thought: Don't depend or put your hopes on just one article to bring you all your traffic or sales, just keep pumping out those articles and you will more than likely succeed.
