Have you ever considered to yourself how all those people get to the top few pages of Google? Well, there are hundreds of internet marketers out there who have their own ideas on how to do this - some are very creative, and the way they go about telling other people about their ideas is even more creative.

have never been into the whole highlighted sales page of false promises and guarantee’s, which when you look at the small print, are not really guarantees at all.

I am not an internet marketer so to speak. I’m a virtual assistant who helps people market their business or website on the internet. Last week a site I have been marketing was on page 24 for its keyword search - this week it’s on page 14.

I put this down to one of the best and most effective methods of marketing which exist - and it doesn’t use any dodgy submitter software, or anything else which could potentially hinder your rating rather than help.

It’s simple, clear cut article marketing which made the difference. I want to go over a few key aspects and give you some pointers which I think you should consider carefully, just in case you do elect to do this too.

1. Speed

These results came from submitting 2 articles per week, and it didn’t really start to make much of a difference until 3 months into this process. So if you want to try working with this method - don’t hold your breath waiting for quick results. It took 3 months and 24 articles to start seeing this type of impact. Google takes a while to index the backlinks which are being created through distribution, but once they do start seeing them, you’re well on your way to an internet marketing success.

2. Natural Submissions

Try to stagger your submissions. Google may think there is something iffy going on if all of the sudden - in one day, you have a surge of backlinks, and then over the next few days, not a sausage. If you stagger the submissions of your articles over a period of time and create 3 or 4 backlinks a day - everyday, then this will result in a much more natural looking progression which will be of far greater benefit.

3. Variations

Don’t submit the same article everywhere; create different variations of the article so there is a new version going out each time it’s submitted. The publishers will like it more and so will the search engines.

4. Unique Content

Always submit unique content. You want to be seen as an expert in your field, so put your name to something which is truly a one off and hasn’t been published before. PLR has its place in this world, but using it as a form of article marketing for increasing your credibility is not really one of them.

Follow these four steps, and in a few months time you will have built up a good reputation, some serious backlinks, and a higher position in Google - it’s a Win-Win situation!
