Is it because article marketing works?
Just about every business that is trying to build a presence online is using articles to promote their web site and there's no shortage of places to submit articles for free. Article marketing is one of the best ways there is to build an online presence. You submit your articles to article directories and leverage the traffic and reputation of the site to promote your own. Even better than that, people come to article directories looking for content for their web sites, blogs, ezines and even e-books. This means that your articles can get picked up and used all over the place, building more back links for you and leveraging the traffic and reputation of even more sites to promote your own.
Article marketing, when done correctly can really boost your search engine ranking and generate an unstoppable flow of traffic to your web site. Yes, I said unstoppable! Even if you turned your site off completely, the domain name would continue to receive traffic from links.
So why would anyone pay to submit an article to articlecontentking.com when there are so many places to submit them for free?
Let's start by looking at why anyone would run a free-to- post article directory.
Why would someone set up and pay for a site that allows people to post articles for free? The answer is simple... they make money by doing so.
Running an article directory is probably the easiest way to build a list, as well as a huge content site.
And that's what Internet Markters want and need. Over the last 3 years, almost 15,000 people registered at Article Content King. Until recently, all we had on the site was a link that said (new user?) There was no sales copy at all!
I have never come across anything easier to promote than your own article directory!
Article directory owners make money through the ad space in the articles. With such a large site that is growing so quickly (we get about 2000 new articles every week), even AdSense ads can generate a nice profit for the site owner.
Site directory owners can also sell the ad space directly on a category-targeted basis, allowing the advertiser to control one ad spot in every articles in their category for a very small fee!
With over 200 categories and 3 ad spots available in each category, at Article-Content-King just $3 a month still generates a nice income. And, as you can imagine, it's quite easy to sell.
Running an article directory site can be very lucrative indeed. It can also be a lot of hassle and it's not for everyone. Besides, if every article marketer set up their own article directory, the value of marketing with
articles would surely diminish.
But what if you have the benefits of an article marketer and an article directory owner all rolled into one? What if you could control the ad space in your articles, display your own ads, or even resell it for profit without the hassle and expense of site ownership?
Wouldn't that make your article marketing efforts more powerful?
When you pay a small fee to submit your article to ArticleContentKing, you unlock the ad space in your article -- 7 spots in total!
The cost to post an article is just a one-time fee of $10, but you have control over the ad space forever. And it gets even better...
The Power Article Directory is a WordPress blog with some tweaks here and there. It's just as social as any other WordPress blog. Being a WordPress blog, it's a lot easier for people to link to and bookmark your content. Your visitors can also comment on your articles. Of course, you maintain the ability to moderate your comments and all the Spam gets eaten automatically, so you don't have to worry about it.
It's also a LOT easier for me to promote a blog format than it is a directory format. This means that articles submitted here are a lot more likely to get great traffic.
Do you think $10 is a lot to pay to submit one article? Then what if we make it just $10 to submit 10 articles? That's just $1 each!
Would you pay just $10 per month to be able to submit 10 articles per month to a site that offers all this?
Then you need to Article-Content-King Silver membership.
Later in this series, I am going to show you how easy you can make money with your articles, simply be reselling the ad space within.
Until then
My best to you
