This, however, only works if the articles are well written. Some of the people who are into SEO have other people write the articles for them so they don’t have to. However, if you have some free time and you don’t want to pay a lot of money to someone who will write the articles for you, you can write them yourself.

To do that successfully you will need some to know some of the basic things you need to do:

1. Research – If you are not completely familiar with the subject you are writing about or you are not sure about some part you should do a research. Keep in mind that your article will be read by a lot of people so any misleading information will be a bad mistake. Make sure everything you say is completely true and that will earn the trust of readers.

1.1. Choose a topic

You can write an article on a topic where you solve someone’s (or your own) problem, i.e.

- how to write effective articles for marketing

Sometimes it’s difficult to come up with a topic that you feel inspired to write about. I usually write about some problem I’ve come across during my day to day life or my working life.
Then I try to solve and overcome it. After that I can write about it to help others with the same problem.

If I still don’t have a subject I feel passionate about, I will visit forums, read online newsletters or magazines
related to my field of interest. I may also talk to friends in the same business. They often share some of the problems that they have encountered.

Alternatively, I use one of my favorite sources for potential topics:

http://answers.yahoo.com/

There you can browse several fields of interest and find endless topics which people are thinking and troubling about.

1.2. Keyword research

Another target of article writing is to make your article search engine friendly. This means including searchable
keywords that search engines will spider. Therefore researching appropriate keywords before weaving them into your article is crucial.

Use the keyword suggestion tool Google Adwords Keyword Tool to find which words or phrases are searched on most often. You also get an impression on the competition for each keyword.

Include your researched keywords into your article being careful not to repeat them so often (avoid keyword stuffing) that it won’t read smoothly. You want your article to appeal to your readers as well.

2. Article writing

2.1. Article length

Don’t worry about the article length too much. It’s more important to let all your ideas flow out of your mind
first. If you think it’s getting too long split it up into two or more articles. It’s often easier to write a short
article of 500 words than one of 1000 words. If you have just too many ideas to confine them to one or two articles you may start a series of articles.

Most article publishers prefer articles between 500 to 800 words and are reluctant to accept articles any longer than that. Others prefer longer articles over 800 words so check with the publisher before you submit your article for publication.

2.2. Spelling & Grammar – This is one of the most important things to consider when writing articles. It is very important that you double check your article after it is written and before you submit it. People don’t like reading articles full of mistakes. Make sure your sentences are complete, they end when they are supposed to, and you haven’t made any kind of mistakes before submitting.

2.3. Paragraphs – Make sure you use paragraphs the right way. Separate your article into paragraphs so it is easier to read. Use bullets, lists and bold or italic text when needed. That will make it a pleasure for other people to read your articles.

3. Outsourcing

Some people are really keen ebout writing articles and online content and love the editorial work. But many people just have other strenghts or interests and prefer to have others (professionals) to write the articles.
Consequently, a lot of internet providers have come up with services like content or article writing. Here is a list of the most popular and reliable ones:

- Elance.com
- Odesk.com
- Textbroker.com
- Fiverr.com

One cheap alternative is:

- 99centarticles.com

4. Article Submission

Also, writing is not all. Submitting your articles is also highly important for getting exposure and eventually backlinks. Here you will find a list of the Top 50 article directories in the web:

http://www.vretoolbar.com/articles/directories.php

Please note that ideally you should submit only unique articles to these directories. Some of them require you to do so and while others don’t the SEO effect is more significant with unique articles.

If you don’t want to write different unique articles for each article directory you can use this free article spinning service to create numerous different versions of your article:

- extremewordspinner.com

This way several words or phrases of your article will be randomly replaced by synonyms or similar words. It can’t compete with writing several unique articles but it saves a lot of work.

This process sounds to tiring and time consuming to you? Then there is also an alternative. You can outsource the article writing, the spinning and the subission to 100′s or even 1,000′s article directories to specialized service providers. Here is one of the best:

SubmitEdge

It is not the cheapest service but you get the most out of your dollar invested due to the effectiveness of this provider. They manually submit your website to all High PR Article Sites. You will get a detailed report upon completion of the job.

I set about with reading several blogs, tutorials and took some training on the subject. Then I investigated on blogs that already had been earning a substantial income from blogging and affiliate marketing acitivities.

At that time I tried to analyze their patterns and implemented the same affiliate programs on my blogs.
However, the results have been disillusioning and the income was almost zero. I had to realize that there is no shortcut to affiliate marketing riches.

How come that my methods did not work? Why do they work when others follow them?

In order to answer these questions we have to place a closer look on the success factors for affiliate marketing. Along my journey in the SEO world it became obvious to me that the following factors play a significant role in determining the success of a affiliate marketing campaign:

Factors of success

Target audience
One important factor in determining the success of a affiliate marketing campaign is the target audience. Each website has its own mix of target groups. I have realized that the better the blogger knows about its target groups and the better he caters for them the higher the conversion rate of his affiliate programs tends to be.

Traffic Quality
It is not just about the amount of traffic a website gets. It is the quality of that traffic which counts. It is pivotal that the visitor has a intention to buy or consume something instead of justing looking for some free piece of information. Nevertheless, free content has its place, too. It can serve as a teaser. Despite this fact, it is actually the type of keywords the website focuses on, that defines the quality of traffic. It is more likely that a visitor through the keyword “cheap mp3s” is going to click on a corresponding affiliate link, advertising Amazon for instance, than a visitor who came through the keyword “free mp3s”.

Own content
At the same time, your content and your texts are very important, too. These may influence the visitor in his intentions and can eventually decide, wether he clicks on a link or a banner or not. Don’t forget to add a call to action at the bottom of a blog post if you want your visitors to click a link or banner.

Placement of banners
This point is the easiest to copy from successful blogs and websites. Have a look on leading blogs and investigate how and where they implement their banners. However, your audience may be different, so you should do some testing and find the best place for your banners yourself.

Trust
This is the most important factor in my opinion. Your visitors should have trust in you and your website. Building trust takes time and you have to invest time in your blog. Try to be authentic and straightforward to your audience. Try to spark their interest with original an well researched articles. Update your blog or website on a regular basis. Spill some information about yourself. These tips help you to build trust over time. And you should not forget about the design and layout of your website. It should look clean and reputable.

Conclusion

I can tell you that there is no shortcut to affiliate marketing riches, but if you take into consideration the above mentioned points it should be easier for you to earn some true bucks. Remember, that it takes time and a lot of testing to find the ideal way for your individual website. Don’t throw in the towel, the next action may be the correct one to boost affiliate marketing sales.

Basically, with Panda Google has been aiming at rewarding websites with good and original content while punishing websites just compiling, scraping or gathering content from other sites. Sites that do not offer any added value to the user.

The message of Google became clear: article directories, content aggregators, pseudo-informational sites and poor and scanty search engines and comparison sites lose ground against editorial sites.

Has Google reached its goals with the Panda Update? What has acually changed so far?

Early test of the search engine optimization company searchmetrics display, that Google Panda has reached its goal to a large extent. Among the list of the winners can be found many publishing houses and news magazines. They are now displayed more frequently in the Google search engine result pages. However, the increase in visibility has only been marginal. Other winners are great companies like Facebook, Twitter and Apple.

On the other side, advisory boards, online communities and people search engines have lost ground.

It is a fact, that many websites wont even notice the Panda Update. Only about 6% to 9% of the websites will be influenced by the update. that is less than with earlier update rollouts according to the Goolge blog.

The webmasters and owners of classical enterprise websites are likely to benefit from the algorithm change if the assessment of leading SEO experts is to be believed. Scraped content on the other hand is most likely to disappear from the SERPs and wont pay anymore. Content farms like Demand Media, price comparison sites and coupon sites are about to lose as well.

Another interesting fact that should be considered is the novelty that Google has incorporated the length of stay on websites into its algorithm. Sites that have a low bounce rate and a high length of stay will benefit from the Google Panda update. This change is only reasonable as Google intends to reward sites where the user finds what he has been looking for.

More information and a list of losers and winners of the Panda 2.5 Update can be found here:
