Article Marketing Combo

How effective is article marketing for search engine placement and Pagerank?

When combined with other methods it's explosive!

I use articlemarketer.com which many people hate but that's beside the point.

I have submitted about 25-30 articles using this directory in the resource box.

I have also submitted to about 20 of the top paid directories.

A combination of article marketing and directory submission has gained me a ranking for the highly competitive keyword phrase "web directory" on Google.

Dm Web Directory has been on the second page for about 4 months now. Occasionally it will bounce off of page two but it always comes back.

My PR has risen to Pagerank 5 with Pagerank 6 pages and DM Web Directory is now considered one of those "Top 20 Paid Directories" and will only rise with more work.

Another example of article marketing and directory marketing combo can be viewed for my website bulldogsale.net.

I have submitted about 10 - 15 articles and two directory submissions. The results are top rankings for many of my targeted keywords and a Pagerank of four.

The point of this little story is that a combination of backlink strategies works best.

Don't just focus on only marketing with articles or only submitting to directories.

The more diversity you have in your backlinks the better your portfolio looks to the search engines.

It is important to get those links from authority sites but if you can't afford them start off small.

-Free Directories
-Forums Post
-Blog Post

...and the list goes on.

Some paid directories even offer alternative methods to getting a paid submission if you can't afford it.

We have a FREE submission offer which can be found on the "Submit" page.
