In this article I will give you four ways to become a better article marketer by doing a better job of writing and submitting quality articles.

Article marketing is all about writing and submitting articles to promote your internet business. Few internet marketers actually succeed at doing this.

1. Understand that you are writing articles to submit to article directories, but the search engines can be an even greater source of traffic. You should try and please them as well! To do this correctly in every article you write you need to optimize your keywords properly.

You are not going to magnify your article marketing efforts if you do not have a keyword list that relates to the theme of your website. It continues to surprise me how many people still do not have a lengthy keyword list to write articles from.

Every article should have your keyword phrase in the title, and in the first and last paragraphs. Then include variations of it throughout the body of the article as they sound natural.

If you will follow this simple formula you will optimize your articles and will be rewarded with higher ranking articles and more traffic from the search engines.

2. It is time to start thinking in terms of volume when it comes to article marketing. The Internet has become a very large market place and for you to get noticed you need more articles online.

This means writing and submitting more articles. Every article you write and submit creates a backlink to your website.

The more backlinks you have the more potential traffic you can get from them. So if you have been in the habit of writing and submitting one article a day start thinking in terms of 2, 5, or even 10 articles a day as a way to magnify your article marketing efforts.

3. You do not want to sacrifice quality when you increase the number of articles you are writing and submitting. It is possible to write both quality and volume of articles simultaneously.

You do this by focusing on one primary theme in your article. A good strategy for this is to identify problems people are having an write solutions to them. This makes it possible to write articles between 250 to 400 words and make them interesting enough that someone would want to read them.

4. One strategy that successful article marketers use is driving traffic to a splash page as opposed to the primary website. This helps them create a mailing list of opt in subscribers for future follow-up.

This is a great strategy for magnifying your article marketing efforts because you are maximizing every article with potential business in the future.

This is four ways to be a better article marketer. Following these four steps will make your articles more valuable and will give you better results as well!
