An Article Marketing Strategy for Affiliate Marketing Profits

As an affiliate marketer, writing informative, easy-to-read articles is a simple strategy to increase your profits by driving more traffic to your website or blog.

The best article marketing strategy is to provide quality content that is easily found by the search engines. This helps you become a valuable resource while driving potential customers to your affiliate offerings.

If you write well, you can prepare the articles yourself or you can outsource the project and have someone else write your content. Another option is to use or rewrite free content provided at a website such as Article City.

Either way, use these articles to promote your affiliate marketing site by linking to it from your bio box. Certain article directories will even allow you to link directly to the merchant's website so you don't need your own website to get started.

To begin your article, choose a topic related to your affiliate offerings. Select keywords that pertain to the topic and research the popularity of the keywords by using a free resource such as Keyword Playground (webconfs.com).

Use frequently searched keywords (but ones that aren't too competitive) in your articles at a density of three to five percent. With a higher density of keywords, your article may be considered spam and kicked to a lower rank in the search engines.

Write useful articles with titles that appeal to the average person looking for information about a certain subject. Include the necessary links in your article or your bio page so readers will be able to reach your affiliate offerings.

Once completed, feature your article online in free article directories such as Article City, Go Article and EzineArticles - or on blogs, forums, websites and in newsletters.

You may even want to write several versions of the same article to publish it in a variety of places. By rewriting an article and changing the content by 50 percent or more, you can market the article in several different resources and it will appear unique.

Using this simple article marketing strategy on a regular basis, you should realize dramatically increased affiliate profits even if you don't have a large advertising budget.
