Are you trying to make money online? Whether you have your own products or are trying to make money selling affiliate products, article marketing is a surefire way to drive targeted traffic to your site. It’s really simple, the more articles you write, the more traffic you will get. We know that the natural selective process of article marketing pre-qualifies your prospects. The lead is qualified simply because as they choose to move towards your site, each step indicates an increase in their level of interest.

There are a limited number of ways a person can find your item. One, they might stumble upon it by chance. Two, they could find your article on a search engine page. Three, they could be sent or directed to the article by an ezine or RSS (Real Simple Syndication) – some kind of subscription or update notification.

Regardless of how they find the article, some level of choice is required to read the article, and even more so if they finish reading the article. Let’s call this qualification number one. They say that of the people who read the article, one to three percent choose to click on the link and visit the website or blog. We will call this qualification level number two.

After reviewing the information on your site, this is rating number three; Five to 15 percent of these visitors will make a purchase if you have a decent sales copy and follow-up system. This is much better than one to five percent of people buying after coming to your site being targeted by some other form of marketing. Hence, the reason why article marketing is considered one of the most effective forms of internet marketing.
