Posted on by Liz Hawkins

If you’re creating high quality content and not driving traffic, this post is for you! We’ve read on other blogs that you should plan on spending around 20% of your time writing and 80% promoting blog posts (of course, you could also outsource the writing to us so you can focus 100% of your time promoting blog posts, which many of our customers do because the math just makes sense).  But if you’re going to insist on creating your own content and want to monetize your site, you need to plan on spending ~4x as much effort promoting your content!

How Article Directories Can Hamper Your SEO Campaign

Posted on by Liz Hawkins

Article directories have played a key role in search engine optimization link building strategies for years. Directories are a place where various website owners and authors publish their content on different article submission sites. There are thousands of such directories including Goarticles, ArticleDashboard, Sooperarticles, EzineArticles and more. These directories are filled with thousands of articles related to each category.

Eight years ago, article directories used to be the holy grail of content marketing. Why? Because publishing articles in a directory quickly grows a site’s backlink profile. Unfortunately, article directories are no longer the holy grail. In fact, publishing content to these directories, even the famous ones, is not only pointless, but it can actually harm your SEO campaign. Here are some of the reasons why:

Intro to Facebook Affiliate Marketing

These days, most affiliate marketers are aware of the enormous impact social networking can have on their business. But they don’t really understand how to use it to their greatest benefit. They might occasionally post about their business but, too often, their posts are either inappropriate for a business and look spammy or they put up content that is unrelated to their products or services. Sometimes they use bad social media etiquette such as posting their links on other peoples’ pages or even spamming their family and friends. None of these practices are helpful and will probably hurt your business.

Instead, there are a number of ways to do affiliate marketing on Facebook properly and, best of all, you can make a lot of money doing it. The amount of traffic you can get on Facebook is phenomenal and you can cash in if you know how to find your target audience.

10 Tips For Choosing The Right SEO Company

SEO is an integral part of any online marketing campaign. If your wish is to own a website that gets enormous amounts of traffic on a monthly basis then search engine optimization should be a top priority. As we speak, there is a lot of information on search engine optimization strategies and techniques on the internet. Having access to this information may lead you to assume that you are more than capable of running your website’s SEO campaign all by yourself. However, this is not a very wise decision.

Having an abundance of knowledge on search engine optimization is not the only requirement needed to get your website to the top of search results. Even with a lot of effort and dedication, there is only so much you can do to optimize your website without the help of a professional SEO company. SEO is a time consuming and tedious activity that demands that a person have specific skills and experience in order to undertake successfully. SEO is also a continuous process that does not start today and end tomorrow. An SEO campaign needs to be implemented over several months or even years in order for your website to obtain and maintain a good ranking.

Consequently, hiring an SEO company is the best way you can go about optimizing your website. However, it is important that you find the right SEO company to help get your website to the top of search results. There are so many SEO companies and service providers out there today so it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right one. This should not worry you as highlighted below are 10 tips for choosing the right SEO company for your website or online business.
