Using High Leverage Article Marketing For Maximum Traffic!


With High Leverage Article Marketing, I'm not just talking about the usual step of
submitting articles to article directories. Oh no! That still works very well. What
I'm referring to is submitting your articles to popular authority sites in your
market.
 For example, if you're in the Internet marketing niche, popular sites like
Entrepreneur, About, Associate Programs and even popular blogs like Site Fling
are possible places to submit articles.



AssociatePrograms.com is one of the better places to submit QUALITY articles
for the Internet marketing niche.

Why High Leverage Article Marketing? 

There are a couple of great reasons why this strategy is more powerful than the
'traditional' article marketing strategy of submitting to article directories. Here are
a few:

1. Submitting your articles at these places means you'll have less
competition and you'll receive more traffic without having to compete with
thousands of other articles.


2. You'll gain more credibility as an author because only a select few submit
their articles to authority sites other than article directories.

3. More joint venture opportunities. When potential partners see that your
article has been submitted to a true authority site that is not an article
directory, they are more likely to want to do business with you.

4. You'll ultimately expand your reach on the Internet and get more traffic,
leads and sales!
Alright, let's get into the specifics of this powerful, traffic-getting strategy now!

4 Simple Steps To Put The High Leverage Article Marketing Method To 
Work For You 


Step 1: Write A Few High-Quality Articles 


It is very important that you write up some quality articles first. Authority sites
scrutinize articles a little more than article directories do. But hey, that's a good
thing. It means they care about the reputation of their sites with the search
engines and their readers. Plus, you may even gain raving fans if you have a
super-quality article that is put out in front of a large audience of targeted people.

Step 2: Find Authority Niche Sites 

Look for authority sites in your market to submit to. Doing this is easy: do a
search for a few main keywords in your market on Google and pick out sites that
are accepting articles, guest writers or guest bloggers. Just look for a link like
'Submit Articles'. If they don't have something like this but you notice that they do
publish guest articles, then find their contact information and email them.
For instance, here is a list of authority sites in the Internet marketing niche:

http://www.associateprograms.com

http://www.evancarmichael.com

http://www.site-reference.com

http://www.sitefling.com

Step 3: Submit Your Article 

This step is pretty straightforward. Submit your article to using the form or email it to
them. Typically, articles need to be at least 500 words as these authority
sites are more careful about the quality and length of their content. But the
additional work on your articles will definitely be worth it!

Step 4: Repeat!  

Repeat the process by submitting your articles to different niche authority sites like:
