For a very long time now there has been a lot of buzz in the online world about post marketing, however I am still often asked what it is and how it works. Here is a quick description. Like any large medium, the internet is hungry for content.
Nevertheless, unlike other media outlets such as TV, radio and papers, which normally only use material from expert authors, on the web, anybody can publish. Short article marketing is a way of taking advantage of that freedom and utilizing the medium as a way to bring visitors to your site or blog. So, how does it work?

It will utilize keywords pertinent to the author's intended audience and typically it will include a numbered or bulleted list for clarity and ease of reading.
You publish that short article on the internet. There are now numerous short article directory sites, where any author can publish almost any article. Many are complimentary to use, however some more specialized ones charge a little cost. One of the most significant complimentary directory sites is EzineArticles.com which brings the work of almost 70,000 authors.
The directory sites are arranged into several classifications and the post author should choose which classification to publish under. You are likewise motivated to attach a group of pertinent keywords to your article and to include your personal or business details and a link to your website, in your 'resource box', which is a brief paragraph about you or your work which will appear at the bottom of every post. The directory sites employ a group of staff to authorize each article before it appears online.
So how does this drive traffic? First of all, the directories, being extremely content abundant, have high rankings in the search engines and typically your short article may be identified there and an interested reader might click your link and come through to your site.

Every day, editors of a substantial series of subject specific e-zines, visit the article directory sites and download brand-new articles that are relevant to their audience. This saves them writing it themselves. The only stipulation made is that they must publish the short article in full, without modifying and constantly consist of the author's resource box and retain the links undamaged.
