If we want to generate traffic to your blog or website to get your word out or even to make money we need search engine ranking. To get a high ranking in the search engines we require a number of backlinks.

One method to get more backlinks is naturally and if you’re a popular blog or website this can be quite easy but for the average site this can be quite difficult and slow. The other method to gain links is to submit your articles or article marketing.  For the purpose of this article we will look at article marketing.

What is Article Marketing?

Article marketing is basically writing an article and submitting it to as many article directories as possible on the internet.  An article directory is a site that collects articles on various topics and gives people a common site for content publishers.

So if you want to create an article called”101 articles to keeping relationship going” and you can only create 50 for your blog then an article directory could be a point of reference.

How does Article Marketing relate to Link Building?

When you submit your article you are required to add a small bio at the bottom of the article, where you can add typically two links back to your site (this will depend on individual sites). This will form the basis of backlinks. So if you submit the article to say 10 article submission sites which all give 2 backlinks you can do the maths you will get 20 backlinks.

Part two of the article directories is if other authors like your article they will publish it on their site and if they follow the rules correctly they will copy the bio (which will include your links) too. Therefore you gain additional links pointing back towards your site.

Automated Article Submission

To submit your article to article directories manually can be very time consuming and this can actually take more time than writing the article itself. We could outsource the submission but this can be very expensive, so we really need a way to automate the article submission process.

To be honest I have tired several automated submission software and they were rubbish, I got few backlinks but not much else. After reading a few bloggers were trying Unique Article Wizard I thought I would give it a go. UAW will cost you $67 per month which sounds a lot but to be honest for what it does its peanuts.

We can’t explain how UAW works as bound by the terms of conditions but basically they create thousands of unique versions of your original article which is still readable to humans. So we solve the issue of duplicate content at the same time.

So now we can have software that will automatically submit original content to thousands of websites with out us doing anything more than setting up the process at the start. UAW has a database of over 11,000 places they can submit your content too.

You will have control on how many sites you will like to submit your article per day, so you can set your submissions to say 50 per day and watch regularly the pingbacks to your posts and make the links look natural in the search engines.

You can now plan to take a website with 10 pages and each one of them should be able to get 1000 links over time and you can see quite easy you will get 10,000 backlinks throughout even if the articles are not good ones now they can still generate links.

So I am going to do my own 30 day experiment with Unique Article Wizard and take a typical underperforming website that is approx 4 months old which now earns coffee money and nothing more and see after 30 days if I can improve the backlinks and at the same time increase my earning.
