Some Article Marketing

I have embarked on an Article Marketing campaign in a bid to raise the profile of one of my websites. I haven’t done this sort of thing before so I am a little unsure of what benefits I will get from it, or how soon I might see the fruits of my labour.

So what I have done is that I’ve written a few articles and then submitted them to various article directories, such ArticleAlley.com. Then, after the article has been accepted, I have sent a few links to it from a selection of social bookmarking sites.

I have also promoted the article from a few of my other websites, using the rationale that the more exposure it gets the better chance that someone else will pick it up and use it. I typically say something like: Here is a useful article if you are planning on buying a new calligraphy pen.

As I said, I’m not 100% sure how much of a difference the articles will make to the number of visitors I get to my site, but I will be watching over the coming month to see if I can spot some rise in the traffic.
