First we need to know that article marketing is done by two simple steps, first, creation of article and second, article submission to article directories. Creation is simple, you sit, write an article about given topic until you cover it. Then you insert your resource link and that’s it. Next step is submission of that article to your favorite article directory. Now most people here make first mistake, they submit same article to more and more directories and with each duplicate your article is less useful to people. Keep your articles on each article directories unique as possible… Some directories will even refuse just copied articles…

Now after your unique article is approved, see what we get…

First your article is submitted to site which has certain amount of authority. That authority will be enough for your article, to rank somewhere at Google. After ranking it will start to give you highly targeted traffic over your backlink in it. Highly targeted traffic means conversions and that is what we all finally are looking for.

Writing the relevant articles over time puts your site and you as an authority in the field. Why? Because you have knowledge about the niche, and you are showing that knowledge to the masses. Search engines are also among that masses, and once search engines will figure out that your site have knowledge and that you are giving it around, so in the end site will rank better. That means more highly targeted visitors and more conversions.

Simply, article directories are giving you opportunity to show your knowledge, something social bookmarking or directory backlinks can’t give you. It’s a different way. On social bookmarking users will say: that site is good, that site is relevant. But in the article marketing you will get chance that those users start telling that around.

All magic is in knowledge and relevant content and because of that article marketing is and will be highly effective link building strategy.

• Site directories – Insert your site not to business category but on regional section of the site directories. Beside region try to hit the city if available.
• Local backlinks – Visit local city sites and forums. Try to get backlink from them. Somewhere you can simply comment certain page or answer something on forum, but somewhere contact the administrator for backlink. You can give him romantic dinner for two in exchange for backlink.
• Buy banners on local sites which are pointed to your sites. Don’t worries if they are nofollow, Google insist that paid backlinks have nofollow attribute.
• This one is most important. Get listed on Google Local Business on this link http://www.google.com/local/add/analyticsSplashPage. This will ultimately list you at local search on Google and it will even show a map where your restaurant is located in the city. Do note that for this step you need to have address on given place since confirmation is done by real mail.
• Restaurant review sites – Use this list to submit your restaurant on review. Those guys will come test your restaurant, they will give you a grade and in their review backlink to your site. Try to impress them, since good review will mean more real visitors directed by those sites.
• Social Bookmarking – When you start social bookmarking campaign then always mention your city name in descriptions and tags.

Beside this steps, other steps are same as for any other seo job, make buzz, submit your restaurant related articles to article directories, comment on local people blogs with your restaurant name and link, be active on restaurant and food oriented forums…

There are two ways how can you do successful SMM campaign.

First one is to hire professional company to do it for you. If take for example Seop.Com we will see that they offer very catching Social Media campaigns. Advantage of using company is that they are already trained to get you relevant visitors from Social networks, which is the hardest part in this story (relevant visitors are must since only relevant niche visitors will convert into sales or clicks).

Other way is to do it yourself. There are few basic tips if you are personally building your social network:

• don’t call every single person you know (we need relevant visitors)
• help and contribute (don’t use social network to shamefully promote yourself, for example if you are on Digg then don’t bookmark only your pages, point is in sharing so don’t be afraid to link to other sites and blogs)
• connect with people from your niche by looking over the net for appropriate blogs or looking who responds and like your links
• be active (don’t just post links, comment other people efforts also)
• use videos (videos share is dramatically improving over the time, make how to videos, niche specific videos)
• use provocative content (this is relative but point is to get reaction)
• don’t use only one social network bring your business all over the net

Some of the most known social media networks are:

• digg
• facebook
• twitter
• myspace
• youtube
• flickr
• panoramio
• my.opera
• reddit
• del.icio.us
• technorati
• stumbleupon
• linkedin

Find niche communities and start being active there. For example if your niche is a garden oriented then googling will get you to the site as gardenweb.com, or if you are webmaster you will end up on NetBuilders or Warrior forums.

Social media marketing will not only get you traffic and valid visitors but will in many cases improve your serp and seo rankings.

Main things to watch about your directory are:

- Every site accepted

- Google page rank

- Traffic

- Directory indexed

- Are links “dofollow”

If every site is accepted that means directory is probably considered by search engines as a spam link farm. If directory has PR 0 and it is old, then it can be penalized for selling links. If you put your link on such directory, then it is possible Google will penalize you too. Is there traffic on the directory (check alexa, compete and similar sites) if no, then probably your link in directory will not gave you any traffic at all. Is directory indexed? If no then it is maybe penalized. Are links in directory dofollow? If not then you don’t have any use in term of SEO from them.

Now if your directory list is compiled based on this five points, your list has value, and backlinks from those directories will have real SEO value.

With the help of an article submission script, you can easily submit hundreds of articles to hundreds of directories in a few hours instead of days. And the end result is identical to manual submission, if you have picked a good script! Trying it first before you make the purchase make sure it is the type of script you need and has all features you looking for. Not every submission script is built the same way. Some would allow you to customize it, change the directories, save your bio info in the database and some will even fill in security code for you.

One down side of using such tool is that the directories are normally limited and there are foot prints of these. They will work ok for the time being, but as the technology get better, the search engine might be able to detect these foot prints and devalue these links from the directories. But nobody knows when that day will be, so you should be fine as long as you don’t spend days doing article submission and have other methods along with this one, then you will be ok. With all that said, article submission and marking has been around for a long time and it’s proven to work for many website owners, including the top marketers who are making over millions per year.

A website design service offering SEO will probably be a long-term relationship. And you should be skeptical of any website design services that tells you that it can get your site ranked in a matter of days. SEO is a lengthy and time consuming process because of the amount of work involved. For example, inbound link building requires time for article and link submissions to reputable sites utilized for these purposes. It takes time for these links to get picked up and aged. Also, having the articles written takes time, especially if you want them to get you traffic and link power. Some of the SEO tasks, you might be able to take on yourself. For example, if you are selling products, you can write descriptions that are search engine friendly. The SEO/design companies can give you advice on which keywords would be the best to use. You can also write articles yourself if you are an expert in your field along with the advice of the service you hire. You can then submit these articles to article directories to gain back links and traffic.
