“Submit your article directory to the major search engines, including Google, Yahoo, and other high traffic search engines. Don\’t pay anyone to submit your site (unless you\’ve got money to throw away). You can do this yourself for free.” – Donna Knight

————————————
Maybe you’ve heard that an article directory can make a killing in affiliate or Google Adsense income, but there are some more things you need to know when you start yours.

Here are the first basic steps involved in starting your own article directory:

1) Get an article directory script.

2) Buy a good domain name that gives some indication of what your site is about.

3) Buy web hosting for it.

4) Set the script up or get someone else to set it up if you don’t know how to set up scripts.

Obviously an article directory script won’t do you any good if you don’t do anything with it. The number one internet business killer is lack of action. You would be amazed at how many people buy everything they need to start an online business and then do absolutely nothing with it.

Once the site is all set up, your next step is to get traffic to the site. Here are some more things you need to do to draw traffic:

1. An empty directory never did anybody any good. The first thing you need to do to get some traffic to your new directory is put some articles in it. No one wants to submit to an empty directory. There are plenty of article directories out there with free reprint articles. With all the other article directories out there that you can use as a source of articles, there’s no excuse for your directory to be empty.

I don’t recommend buying an article directory script that has articles already in it. You do not want your directory to look like everyone else’s with the same articles.

Consider starting an article directory geared towards a niche. That way you won’t be competing with other article directories for traffic. Everyone knows that niche marketing can be more profitable than catering to an untargeted market, and this applies to article directories, as well.

2. Don’t be the only author on your site. Start your directory out with articles from other authors. Then you can add your own articles to your heart’s content. The exception to the rule would be if this is a site where you’ve specifically stated up front that the purpose is to showcase your own work, but you welcome other authors to submit their work as well.

3. Keep your directory backed up. Web servers are more stable than personal computers, but they’re not perfect. Data corruption and hard drive failures on web servers happen very rarely, but they do happen. Many web hosting companies do backups but some charge you to restore from the backup. When choosing a article directory script, choose one with built-in back-up capabilities or choose a web host that makes backing up your site very easy, such as Cpanel hosting.

4. Submit your own articles to other article sites with a link to your own article directory in the resource box. Keep in mind that if you are submitting ghostwritten or private label articles to your own directory, you cannot submit these articles to other sites unless they are significantly modified–I’m talking 75% or more. Yes, that’s right! You may need to write a few articles of your own. This is not a big deal. If you have private label articles, you can use these to get plenty of ideas to write your own articles.

Submit your article directory to the major search engines, including Google, Yahoo, and other high traffic search engines. Don’t pay anyone to submit your site (unless you’ve got money to throw away). You can do this yourself for free.

5. Syndicate it – Be sure to buy an article directory script with RSS capabilities built in so that web content publishers can link to your site for fresh content for their own websites. One key to continuous traffic is to update your content regularly. Syndication is a great way for your updated content to get re-published over and over again. Search engines love syndicated content.

6. Don’t stop! To keep your site alive you need to either constantly add new articles or constantly promote your site or preferably both.

One mistake I see lots of article directory sites making is that their target market consists of article authors and content seekers. Of course you need authors, but think about it. Are authors really going to click on ads on your site? The people who are most likely to click on ads are people seeking information. Authors come to your site to get visibility for their work, not to buy something. Information seekers are frequently potential buyers doing research before they choose to take out their wallet. Market your directory to information seekers as well as authors and webmasters.

Give visitors to your new site something useful to start with and your traffic will grow from there, along with your profits.

This article is a third party review about Rob Benwell’s Niche Annihilation Method.

————————————
Featured Article by Pam Jenkins

Rob Benwell, creator of the tremendously successful Blogging to the Bank series, is releasing a new product, Niche Annihilation Method. In BTTB Rob demonstrated top SERP listings and niche domination for niches such as “tropical fish”. With BTTB2 he updated his strategies to accommodate search engine evolutions and Web 2.0 marketing tactics using the small niche “discus fish” as his testing ground. This left me wondering just how much more Rob could offer.

After three years of online marketing, skepticism has become second nature for me. The truth is, with top notch copywriting, irresistible headlines and an army of affiliates advertising a new product, it’s easy to make a lot of money. Even a second rate product with rehashed repackaged information can generate lot of sales and many novices will never know the difference.

It is a fact that Rob’s products have been very good income generators for me. I’ve profited from affiliate sales, and by implementing his strategies in small niches. The first niche blog I created, following the original Blogging to the Bank tactics, still generates monthly income for me. Niche Annihilation Method at least deserves an honest appraisal.

The length of the ebook shocked me! Seriously doubting that a 49 page guide would result in the annihilation of any competition, I began to read. After all, first impressions can be wrong and appearance is sometimes deceiving.

==> www.marktse.com/cb.php/blogap/blogr/

In fact, Niche Annihilation Method‘s advanced techniques are covered in only 35 pages! The remainder of the ebook is a 30 Day Blueprint for Success (suitable for newbies) and contains a huge surprise.

The advanced strategies are presented with no hype, no hand holding, and no filler. You are an experienced marketer. Do this and this and this to crush your competition.

Simply put, these tactics are powerful. Some strategies are new, some are revised, and one misconception is finally put to rest. Some techniques you already know, but MUST include.

While all the smart niche marketers will be implementing these strategies, it will not be easy to spot. Since there are no step by step instructions, each person will achieve the prescribed result via a slightly different route. The chance of duplication is almost nil.

This is truly fortuitous. Unique, one-of-a-kind marketing is required for small niche success. Rob has safeguarded your style by providing the basic recipe and allowing you to adjust the seasoning to accommodate your market’s taste.

The 6 Niche Annihilation Methods are:

#1 Conversions, Conversions, Conversions – You guessed it! Increase your conversions with these powerful techniques.

#2 Search Engine Domination – Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is 30-50% domination of first page results!

#3 The Only Proven PPC Technique – Rob explains his streamlined method of tuning his PPC campaigns to profitability.

#4 Super Charged Affiliate Program – JV partners and affiliates are sometimes scarce in niche markets. Here’s a solution.

#5 The Backend Money Machine -Includes the Backend Annihilation Golden Rule – who knew!

#6 Time Savers – It will take more than one niche site to generate the income of your dreams. You’re going to need a team to manage all the support, maintenance, accounting, etc.. My favorite line of the book is in this section…”If $100,000/year is all you want, you can get by just outsourcing ____ and ____ and ___.” Wow, that’s a relief!!

The 30 Day Blueprint For Success is perfect if you’re a beginner or just someone who is not seeing the results you wish to see. There are over 50 video links in this section. Every step you need to take is carefully and fully demonstrated.

For newbies this is pure gold and will save you hours of frustration. For the more experienced, have you skipped an important step on your way to annihilating your competition? Could you improve your sales machine following these instructions? Using the techniques demonstrated here can you save some precious time? Only viewing the videos will allow you to answer these questions, but with such an exhaustive and thorough plan, I have no doubt you’ll benefit from something contained here.

All through the videos, Rob uses one example site and he wraps up with a brief report on how this site is doing. What makes this truly interesting is that the site has only been through the video process, not the Niche Annihilation Method. He will update us about that once it is implemented. Now, that’s something to look forward to!

I highly recommend Niche Annihilation Method! Click here to discover the method right now:
