Everything about make money online, sharing information about monetize online and technology.

What the hack is articles about? I reckoned the time when I just started online business, many webmasters are talking about getting higher ranking in Google, Yahoo or MSN. How to get higher ranking? This is a killing and kiss ass questions you can heard anywhere around the web, or for those who want to get traffic from search engine, beat their competitors, make more money online from their websites and so on.

Killing question: How to get higher ranking in Google search engine or on number one spot?

Are you kidding? If your website is rank number 1 for page 1 for certain high searched keywords, what do you get? Your website is receiving high chuck of traffic for free from search engine eirther Google, Yahoo or Msn. What happened if the search keyword is “buy templates” and your website is ranked number 1 top spot for that particular keyword? Oh my god! You are making a killing man!

To be frank, I have few websites that ranked on page 1 on Google, Yahoo and Msn but not keyword “buy templates”. Today, I hope to share a bit about my little story about getting higher ranking in Google. The most common method of getting higher ranking for certain keywords is using article marketing. Yes! No jokes! Write articles! Write bunches of articles! Write a lot of articles! 

The philosophy is: Write Quality Contents.

Let’s say my website is selling skin care products like SkinB. (*just an example, I assume the name do not exist in the market). You can start writing articles how skin care products can help women, ladies or even young men to revitalise their look or look more attracting. Tell people what is the importancy of skin care products, advantages, benefit and so on. Do not write anything related to SkinB like… how SkinB can help you this and that. 

After finished writing, then post the articles (around 400 – 500 words) to famous article directory. Remember to link back the target keyword back to your websites. Getting keyword link back to our website is not that difficult. Here’s a simple link back with simple html code.

Target keyword: skin care products

Learn more about skin care products to revitalise your skin and looks younger. 

Change to:

Learn more about <a href=”http://yourwebsite.com”>skin care products</a> to revitalise your skin and looks younger.

When this code: <a href=”http://yourwebsite.com”>skin care products</a> paste in the resource box before article submission, it will convert become like this:

skin care products (*with link back to http://yourwebsite.com)

Usually article directories allows two keywords that link back to our websites. If they allow three, then thats good! How about if there is no limit? Do not over do it, usually two keywods link back to our websites are more than enough. Else it will become very unprofessional.

Recently I have found a list top 50 article directories based on Alexa ranking and Google page rank. Hopes it helps you on your article marketing strategy and Google ranking.
