Howdy,
(If you haven't already read part one, please do that first - it's the post just below this one)
In this post we are going to discuss *exactly* how your bio box should be created to maximize your chances of getting visitors to your site. We will also give you a few good examples...
Are you ready? Here we go:
1. Put your links BEFORE your name (or your website's name). I hate to be the one to tell you this but... your readers don't give a rat's ass about you. They only care about what is in it for them, that is, they only care about what you can offer them. Don't waste time (or space) talking about yourself.
2. Have multiple links in your bio box - even if they all point to the same destination. This will increase your chances of them clicking through.
3. You should have BOTH text links and HTML links in your bio box. If you're article gets syndicated only the text link will work.
4. Always try to offer freebies in your bio box. Write a report and give it away for free - do ANYTHING to get them to click through! If you can't write a report (or don't want to) buy one, hire someone to do it for you or get some good PLR (private lable rights).
Good Bio Box examples:
1. Dramatically increase the size of your mailing list by checking out our free report! I reveal all my personal secrets I've used to grow record-breaking lists in the shortest time possible. Go to http://yoursitehere.com right now before we decide to start charging for this secret information.
2. Discover the amazing free secrets to meeting any professional baseball player you desire! From Jorge Posada to Roger Clemens at http://yoursitehere.com. These secrets won't be posted for long - download them for free and meet your favortie pro baseball player tommorrow!
(*note: where the words appear in bold would simulate your HTML links).
Can you see the difference between the above two examples and the one we gave in the previous post about Joe Marketer? Which one do you think will get more traffic (and sales!)?
I hope you can see the power your bio box hold and will start using the tips we provided ASAP!
Until next time...
For Bigger, Faster, Stronger Traffic
(always!)

More Article Marketing Secrets
Before we jump right into some more of the article marketing secrets, I wondered if you've been noticing the "big picture"?
If you're going to cash-in (or get rich - yes it is possible) on the internet, you must have traffic. You can have the best product or service, the coolest website or blog and the best customer service... but without traffic you will never make one red cent. In fact, you will most likely lose money.
I'm guessing, since you're here, you've already figured that part out.
So what's the big picture when it comes to traffic? It's simple really and it boils down to just two things:
1. Offer something of value - real value - to people (preferably free - like content/information) on your website or blog. Do NOT just try and sell them...
and...
2. Use a SYSTEM to drive traffic. Don't waste all you're time looking for that single technique to generate millions of visitors to your site overnight. It doesn't exist. Try the free techniques we list here, find a few that work the best for you and then use them consistently.
Now you have a system that drives a steady flow of traffic to your site or blog.
It's really a very simple formula for success that many folks try to over-complicate...
The reason I wanted to mention all this to you before diving into more article marketing secrets, is because it's also a vital part of the formula for success with article marketing itself.
1. Your article must offer real value to the reader. It can't be some crap you just threw together in two minutes that makes little or no sense or offers no real content.
2. You will use a system. Submit an article to Ezine. Rewrite it a bit and submit it to another article directory. Rewrite it a bit again and submit to other sites. Write a new article related to your topic and repeat the process.
The most important part of that two step process is number one - VALUE. You can and will succeed in article marketing if you offer value. If your articles have value you can still succeed by "skimpling" a bit on part two. If your articles are crap, you can put part two on steroids and you will still NOT succeed.
This does not mean you have to be a professional writer. Not at all. That's not what I mean.
Think of tips and how-to's when it comes to value. Show your reader how to do something, where to get something for free, how to use a particular piece of software, how to make or design something, etc., etc. Sky is the limit here.
For a good example of value in an article, click here, to see an article my partner wrote about Las Vegas Restaurants.
== SHORTCUT SECRET TIP: The article mentioned above is very long, however it only took about 10 min to put together. An openeing paragraph or two, then copy and paste the actual "list" giving the original author credit and an ending paragraph. That's it. Totally above board and widely accepted. Very cool stuff.
===
The article offers value on two levels. One it shows the reader how and where they can find their own deals and, two, it gives a very specific list of some actual restaurants and the deals available right now. Good Stuff and very quick to create.
What was the "payoff" for this article? A couple hundred views in less than 24 hours, Google page one rankings for specific keyword phrases and, most importantly, immediate AND long term TARGETED traffic to a specific blog.
That is the power of article marketing. 30 minutes to create, edit and submit a high value article... which will payoff in a nice dividend of traffic for weeks, months and possibly even years.
And that is only ONE article. Imagine the sheer power of MULTIPLE articles in the same niche? That is why in our last post I emphasized the need to rinse and repeat.
I think this is such an important traffic topic that I'm going to spend some more time on this in the next few posts... I hope that after seeing the results that just one article can bring, you feel the same way and are just as excited!

You Lose... if you're not using Article Marketing
Article marketing is a simple and effective way to generate short and long-term traffic to your website. No matter what kind of site (or blog) you have, big or small, new or old, using articles can bring you a a very nice stream of visitors for years to come.
What exactly is article marketing?
In a nutshell, article marketing is writing content for other websites. You write a useful article on a topic related to your own website or blog, and offer it for others to publish on their sites or in their newsletters. At the end of your article you place your bio box/resource box (a short two to three sentence blurb about your products/services/website)which contains one or two links to your own website. It is required for the person publishing your article to leave the article "as is" including your bio box.
==SIDE BAR==
Creating a compelling bio box is a whole subject in itself and can dramatically increase traffic when done properly. We'll be covering that topic more in-depth in future posts. For now, just keep in the back of your mind that bio boxes ARE important
==END SIDE BAR==
Not only do you receive links to your website each time your article is published, but other website owners begin to seriously consider you as an expert in your field and may contact you for interviews or joint ventures.
And, of course, it's free. (If you're a time mongor, keep in mind this is something that is pretty cheap to outsource if you want).
What's the easiest way to start article marketing?
First, we need to choose where the articles are going to be published. If you've been around awhile and have a network of friends/associates, consider contacting them and discussing writing some articles for their sites. Of course, the size of their readership will be a factor in how much traffic you can receive from your article, so keep this in the back of your mind also.
If you haven't been around that long or don't have a network, a great alternative is submitting your articles to article directories.
Article directories such as Ezine Articles and Article Dashboard allow anyone to publish articles on any subject they choose. The articles are checked to make sure they meet submission guidelines, and then they are published for anyone to read.
One of the many benefits of publishing your articles with an article directory is that they are indexed with the major search engines. For instance, Google loves Ezine Articles, so publishing to Ezine Articles gives you the potential have your article rank well on the Google site. Pretty Cool, right!?!
== SIDE BAR ==
Much like the bio box, getting your article ranked well in Google is a whole seperate art. One worth mastering though. We'll be covering this more in depth in later posts, but if you would like a better idea of how it works right now, I suggest you read Travis Sago's bum marketing course at bummarketingmethod.com).
== END SIDE BAR ==
Okay, now that we've decided where we're going to publish our articles, let's look at how the article should be written:
Your article should be between 300-700 words long. Be sure to hoose a topic related to the theme of your own website or blog. (Writing articles that appeal to your target market will ensure that you’ll receive visitors who are interested in your website before they click.)
When writing your article keep these tips in mind:
- Make sure your article is well-written and informative (NOT an advertisement).
- Proof read your article for typos and grammatical errors.
- Be sure to include your bio box at the end with your URL included.
For your bio box:
- Be sure to include the full http:// portion of your website URL to make the link active.
- Limit the resource box to only one or two links. If you get greedy, many publishers will pass on your article.
Submit your Article, then rinse and repeat.
The number one mistake made by many website owners is to write one article and obsess over it. Get your first article written, then move onto your next one and then the next. Write, submit, rinse and reapeat.
That last tip (rinse and repeat) is HUGE. This is where most article marketers fail. If you commit yourself to it, you will crush the competition.
Stay tuned for more indepth information on article marketing later today.
