If you've paid attention to any Internet marketers recently, you've probably heard many of them refer to the term article marketing. Many beat it like a dead horse, but for a reason. Done the right way, online article marketing is one of the most effective ways to promote your site.

The problem, however, is that most marketers do not do article marketing the correct way. To be successful with article marketing, it must be an ongoing effort. It is not a one shot deal where you blast one article to thousands of directories and then forget about it. So how does one go about effective article marketing?

If you have a decent site or blog with fresh content, this will give you a steady source of content from which you can generate articles. Modify this content on a regular basis, and submit the articles to directories regularly. The steps below will help you get started.

* Rewrite the articles or use article spinning software to make it unique. Using unique content for your articles helps them rank better with search engines and ultimately gives you better quality links which will in turn help you with the ranking of your website.

* You will also need a way to create numerous variations of the article, so you can submit unique versions to numerous sites. The best way to do this is to use article spinning software, which will automatically spin many different versions of your article (see below for more).

* Submit your article to the article directory sites. There are many popular ones to consider, like EzineArticles, GoArticles, and Article Alley. Focus on targeting high-quality articles sites as opposed to just trying to submit to as many as possible, since the less popular sites will not help you that much.

* Use the author bio or resource box to provide a link back to your site or to an affiliate offer. If your goal is to build links to your website, link to both the homepage as well as other pages on your site.

Since online article marketing has become so popular and widely used, many companies now offer resources and software designed to help you with your article marketing. To find out more about these tools, check out the links in the resource box below.
