Step 1: Target Your Topic

Step 1: Target Your Topic

What do you specialize in? What do you know a lot about? What is the point to your website? After all, the goal of any article marketing campaign is to place articles of value out into the world and grow your number of back links (links that point back to your website from another website.)

Facebook holding Feb. 8 event to discuss new H.Q.

Facebook has sent out an invitation for a Tuesday press conference at an address in Menlo Park, Calif., which houses the city's municipal buildings. The company has confirmed CNET's guess that it would be to formally announce new headquarters within the Silicon Valley city.

"The press event on Tuesday at Menlo Park City Hall is regarding a campus that will fit our long-term business needs," a Facebook representative said via e-mail. "We'll be sharing more information at that time."

Facebook said late last year that it was searching for locations for a long-term headquarters to house its rapidly growing number of employees. One of the options, rumor had it, was a former Sun Microsystems campus in Menlo Park, near the Dumbarton Bridge.

Go for Higher Quality Links

All links are not created equal. SEO links that have higher value provide greater optimization benefits compared to low quality links. There are several factors that can determine the quality of website links. These are:

• The reputation and trustworthiness of the domain giving the website links. For instance, a link from cnn.com would have higher value compared to a link from a website that ranks lower in the Alexa rank checker.

• How relevant the anchor text is to the link. This means that an anchor text saying "fish tank" would be far more relevant and valuable than a "click here" anchor text.

• The link's location within the site structure. For obvious reasons, SEO links embedded on a site's homepage is more beneficial than a link that comes from a deeply hidden page.

• The link's visibility on a webpage. It also matters where the inbound link is located on a webpage. Website links at the top of a webpage are more visible than those at the bottom.

• Similarly, a link that's one of three on a page is more valuable than a link that's one of 80.

Now that you have an idea of how website links are given value, the question is: How do you get high quality links? The tips below will explain different methods of effective search engine optimization link building.

Leveraging Facebook to generate leads, build site traffic, and even make a little money is every small business owner's goal. But in most cases, it's not as simple as getting on once a week for an hour, posting a bunch of 'interesting' information, and getting on with your life hoping that the leads will start flowing in.

What is Syndicate ?

If you've followed the above suggestions for creating website content, by now you should have a massive amount of content. But what do you do with it to give it maximum exposure?

Syndicate it. Syndication means sharing it to as many other websites as possible.


Here's a few quick tips of whats possible.

- Submit your articles to as many article directories as possible.

- Submit the videos you created to as many video sharing sites as possible.

- Submit your podcasts to as many podcasting sites as possible.

- Join two to three related articles together and create a pdf and submit to pdf websites

- Look at the articles you've created and take the main points out of them, to create more in depth articles on each point.

- Take those new articles and start creating more videos and other media.

That all sounds like a lot of work, but there are many websites that can do the hard work automatically for you. Pixelpipe and Traffic Geyser are good places to start looking.

Bear in mind that some article directories will not accept articles if they've been submitted elsewhere, so you may have to rewite some articles. But you're doing that anyway when you break your content into more in depth articles.

Always remember the more places your website content appears on the more likely it is to be discovered and therefore gain you exposure and traffic to your website.
