Search Engine Marketing
Posted by Andy Crofford
Will it pay off?
Hot on the tale of my entry last week called “Article Marketing - What is it?” I am currently in the process of writing a ton of articles. In the past week I have been doing a lot of research on various prodcuts offered by affiliate networks and have decided to try my hand at promoting some of these things through search engine marketing.
There are approximately 10 products I have picked out to experiment with SEM on. With each I item I am writing several articles in addition to optimizing my main sites for the product keyword. It is a great deal more work then I thought it would be and I thought it would be a ton.
The good news is I am almost finished up with the first site. All I have to do is get the articles I have written onto some more blog directories. The only thing really holding me back is the fact that I HATE having to sign up for different article directories. It should take me long to get past this little wall and I should hopefully be ranked on the first page of Google in a couple of short weeks. I will keep you posted.
I am also working on some BANS stores as well as PPC marketing. Yes, it appears I am spreading myself pretty thin with all of this and my full time job but it is how I work best. So stay tuned. It is my goal to have an income report by October.

It sounds like we are in the same boat my friend. People constantly tell me I take on way too much - but I feel if I didn’t then I wouldn’t perform at my best because the pressure is not on.
I did a three part series on article marketing a week or so back, and I’ve always found it as a great way to get one way links, as well as keyword focused SE traffic (providing proper keyword research is done) but you’re right, I too wish there was a way to sign up for article directories quicker, it’s such a pain in the ass…
Hey there’s a product idea - hiring an elance monkey to write a script that will automatically log into selected article directories and pre-populate fields based on a single input through the scripts front end.
I wish I had a pet chimp who was a literally a code monkey, and would work for peanuts and bananas.
