Until recently I was guilty of blindly following the advice of so-called online professionals who seemed to know how to make the big money, while I was struggling and making very little progress.
I read their books and I even spent good money attending some of their seminars. At first I didn't see it, but then I began to realize that I was bleeding so much red ink thanks to bad advertising advice that didn't work as promised, I saw what was really happening...
... many of these so-called "Gurus" actually were making all the money that they claimed, but they weren't making it selling products.
They were getting rich by convincing everyday people like you and me to click on their affiliate links and waste our money buying advertising that we really didn't need.
They were getting rich off of our money and, honestly, there weren't too many who really cared if what they recommended worked or not. They only cared about their large affiliate income.
One day I decided I was going to stop making other people rich and start investing in myself. I went to Google and typed in the phrase "free Internet marketing advice" and I hit the jackpot!
I found hundreds of articles about Internet marketing tips, ideas and tactics and it didn't cost me a dime to buy any one of them. They were absolutely FREE. And that's what got my mind to start racing and thinking what am I missing.
"Why in the world would so many people spend so much time writing free articles and getting them distributed all over the Internet?" There must be a "GOLD MINE" somewhere and all I had to do was find the right map.
I began to examine the articles more closely as I read them and a few interesting patterns emerged. Of course, the first pattern I noticed was that I had found all of these articles by simply searching for a specific key phrase in Google.
So I went back to Google and tried other key phrases. The picture was becoming very clear to me.
I didn't just concentrate on marketing phrases either. I love to work in my yard, so I searched for the phrase "yards and gardens" and hundreds of articles came up. I then searched on the phrase "bass fishing" and thousands more articles came up. I began to see articles as a gateway to traffic, sales and profits.
No matter what phrase I searched for in Google I found hundreds or even thousands of FREE articles written by people who actually knew what they were talking about!
But I still didn't have the answer I was looking for...Everything had not totally fallen into place. What was in it for the authors of these articles? Why were they spending their time writing free articles for you and me to read and enjoy?
As I looked deeper, I realized that many of these articles were posted on article repository web sites. These were huge article directories that held thousands of articles on nearly any topic you could imagine.
I noticed that each of the articles in these repositories pulled up Google AdWords when your read them. "Ah ha!", I thought. "The article site owners are making their money from the Google ads, but that's not helping the actual authors." I kept digging... deeper and deeper searching for more clues and answers to this mystery.
It wasn't until I reached the part of the article known as the "Author's Resource Box" that the "Aha Ha" light really went on and it hit me smack between the eyes! These authors were using their articles to establish themselves as experts in their particular subject matter!
Because the articles weren't actually paid ads, people were reading them from top to bottom and then going to the Author's Resource Box to click on the link to the Author's web site. Once they reached the Author's web site they invariably found something for sale!
Since the person reading the article was already convinced of the Author's expertise in the particular subject, the chances for a sale taking place increased greatly. But making sales this way was just one of the benefits of distributing free articles. There were others as well!
* The more article directories that a particular article was posted to, the more "back links" there were to the Author's main web site. Since Google sees back links as an indication of an "important" site, the Author's Google ranking was benefiting.
* The more people who read the Author's article and clicked back the the main web site, the more traffic the site received. Alexa ranks sites based upon traffic, so the Author benefited that way as well.
* And finally, many of the authors had Google AdWords displayed on their main site, so they were earning revenue whenever a visitor from one of the article sites came and clicked.
I had accidentally stumbled on the mother of all sales and traffic-generating "secrets" of the Internet and it didn't cost me a penny! Even better, I now knew how to drive all of the free traffic to my site that I could ever want, but there was still one problem...
I didn't have near the time available that it was going to take to get my own articles posted to enough article repositories to make a real difference in my sales and traffic counts, but when I looked at the automated article posting solutions out there, I was under whelmed. How would I find the answer and a system to meet and solve my problems?
* The free Article Submitters were a joke. They were little more than thinly-disguised SPAM machines that would eventually get you banned from the best article sites.
* The moderately priced ones seemed OK, but they lacked the professional features that I was looking for.
* The top-notch ones had everything that I was looking for but they were way too expensive for my blood. Some of them even wanted to charge me $35 or MORE just to submit ONE ARTICLE!
You can start tapping into the amazing sales and traffic-pulling power of posting free articles without breaking a sweat.
