Article Marketing Backlink Techniques

Article Marketing has a few benefits, one of which is more website traffic and more important is the unlimited potential of well targted anchor text backlinks.

This post will be about keywords for the anchor text and how to place backlinks to your sites within articles.

Whether you are using Unique Article Wizard as I do to submit your articles automatically or you are doing manual submission, keyword anchor techniques for backlinks to your site within articles are the same.

Home Page Links and Deep Links

I always put two backlinks in the author resource box, one to the home page of my sites and another to a sub page, for the deep link.

Deep links are links to website pages other than the home page. Deep links are often overlooked because we are so focused on optimizing for site wide home page keywords, however, remember that we are not just looking to have our home page rank number one in the SERPS, (search engine rank position/page position) we want all our website pages to rank for the those pages respective keywords and to do that, we need to build backlinks for those pages.

And articles serve this purpose very well, because even the strictest of article sites like Ezine Articles, allows 2 self serving backlinks in the author box, so one should be for the home page with the main keywords in the anchor and the other should be a sub page with that pages keywords as the anchor text for the deep link.

Home page links and deep links not only help you with your link building strategies, but also are helpful in getting direct traffic as you are showing the articles readers more of what your sites have to offer.

You can change it up with each article, one article use page X and Y for deep links and the next article use page A and B.

Make sense?

Beyond the Resource Box - Backlinks Within Article Content

There are three great article sites that allow for hypelinks within content and not just confine them to the author box as the usual guidelines, and they are do-follow. By the way these sites are also great for the viral effect of Article Marketing as explained in Best Submission Sites to Make Articles Go Viral.

Amazines
Article Alley
Articles Factory (This website!)

So, when you are submitting to these sites, add a variety of links within the article content to your sites with the different keywords you want those pages to rank for, you can link to home pages with all your different keywords and deep pages. (Don't over do it)

Then at the end of the article add your resource box summary, Learn more... , Browse..., or Get... etc... with yet more different keywords that you have not used yet.



HTML CODE for HYPER LINKS:

Some of these sites you need to add your links with html code, so here it is, just replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain url and put your keywords where it says keyword anchor text.
