If you read my post ‘Writing Articles for Profit’ you already know that your work doesn’t end when you press the ‘Publish’ button, in fact, I believe that your work has just begun…

The easiest way to earn more money online is by getting more clicks on your eHow articles. Now, the best way to get more clicks is by getting more people to actually read your article.

Marketing your articles can make the difference between making a few cents a day or making a few dollars a day.

Marketing your articles has two benefits.

• More people will see your links and head over to your article
• The search engines will see the back links to your article and rate it higher in search engine results pages (SERP)

The higher your article comes up in search results means more people will click on it.  More visitors = More money.  It’s that simple.

Marketing articles means putting links up on the Internet for people and/or search engine spiders to follow.

There are two kinds of links

• Do follow, which means the spider will follow over to your article and you’ll get credit for a back link
• No follow, which, as you guessed, means the spider will NOT follow over to your site, you’ll get no back link credit but people can still click over.

There are also two places links can come from

• Within the domain, internal links
• Outside the domain, external links

From my recent post about the eHow ‘More articles from this author’ you know that links from one article to another article are internal links, and although they carry less Google weight than external links, are still relevant in large numbers.  Witness the PR2 rating on my earliest articles..

We can add internal links at whim, when we publish (or edit) one of our articles we can add a link to an existing article through the ‘Related Articles’ area.  I would use this sparingly, but I will always choose at least one of my articles.  Do this for a month and you WILL see results, both in page rank and traffic.

Marketing articles isn’t fun, in fact, when it comes to writing articles I find it to be the most ‘work’ like thing I do.  Nonetheless, it must be done if you’re serious about making money online.

In the next part, which will be published on Monday.  I will provide my personal list of over 32 sites that allow ‘Do follow’ links, including the PageRank of the sites and whether or not they have a Firefox button.

I adamantly suggest, if you’re not already using it, to download and install Firefox and it’s associated SEO related add-ins.
