Article Marketing for offline?

[MrPhelps]

Take a look at this new Article Marketing course:

Article Traffic Pro

I got a chance to preview it and it's very well done.

There are 7 modules:

1. Introduction
2. Keyword research -- includes a 30-day trial of Market Samurai
3. Writing your articles
4. Publishing your articles
5. Promoting your articles
6. Outsourcing your work
7. Tricks of the trade

The course is mainly Camtasia videos and they're very well done.

While this course is focused on making sales of affiliate products, the thing that interests me about this for offline purposes is that you can use the exact same techniques discussed in this course to drive traffic to client sites. In fact, I've seen one report that is focused exclusively on getting clients who'll pay you $200-$250/mo to write and syndicate one article a month for the purposes of driving traffic to their sites. It's very simple and highly effective!

I asked John to explain what makes Article Traffic Pro different from other article marketing courses. This is his reply:

As far as things that make it different...

Here's my two part answer.

As you know about most things in internet business, and as I actually say in the sales page "The reality is that there are no magic bullets; only intelligent strategies employed in logical ways". So when you ask me what makes it different than other article solutions, I don't have a magic-trick-up-my-sleeve answer.

What I can tell you is that my partner and I have spent a year and a half using article marketing to promote our own business, have earned many thousands of dollars as a result of it, and have tested all of what I teach in the course.

Needless to say, I haven't looked at every course on the market, but I have looked at many and I can also tell you that some of the things I have found to be true about keyword density and placement is different than anything I have read, and it is the only course I have seen that discusses a two part process which is creating a bulk of articles and than nurturing the few that jump out of the pack with additional SEO work. It's also one of the only courses I've seen that teaches that article marketing is purely a traffic generation technique and not a business in itself. This is not bum marketing or anything of the kind. It assumes that the user has a quality business model, and simply lays out a very simple and systematic approach to getting people in front of that offer. I think this is a healthier approach and I feel that many of the traditional article marketing courses ultimately send people down the wrong path.

Perhaps the biggest value I am including here is module 8. I will be inviting all of the launch customers to submit their project to me for assessment and will be offering a detailed assessment of what they might be doing wrong, and what they might be doing right, and then do my best to outline a plan of action. I have not seen this kind of one on one service being offered by any other course out there for this price. It's essentially free consulting and I normally charge $200/hour for this. It's just my attempt at trying to figure out what the market really needs so I'm offering it to this first batch of customers.

As far as the free stuff, yes, that came down once I went live but you can find a back door here: http://www.articletrafficpro.com/fro...icle-marketing if you felt like rebroadcasting.

Did you try his ideas or just read a copy?

[MrPhelps]

First, as I think I said, this is a video course -- a bunch of Camtasia videos. And yes, I've viewed them.

As a general rule-of-thumb, it takes weeks for any activities related to SEO and traffic generation to take effect. Sometimes you can get some initial juice quickly, but overall, it's a slow and cumulative process.

I came across John's product about a week ago and he was kind enough to let me preview the videos. Lots of people are concerned with the quality of the materials and want to know what you actually get in the package, which is what I was addressing.

Do you really think that everybody promoting Mike Filsaime's latest thing, for example, have all tried it and used it? I seriously doubt ANY of them have even seen it. That's the nature of today's launches -- everybody making a bunch of noise about stuff they've never seen, touched, or listened to. In many cases, much of the material isn't even complete at the time of launch.

I can say that except for a couple of bonuses, John's material is 100% complete and is of excellent quality.

I have no reason to believe that if you follow his guidelines that you won't get similar results. He does a great job of explaining his approach and exactly how to reproduce it.

This offer has been closed.

He said he'll re-open it in a few weeks.

While I don't agree with such policies, that's his call.

You have me interested. What course are you talking about?
I'd love to check that out... I'm doing something like that right now but
with video.

He's referring to the private practice WSO that came out in April of 2010. The author recommends doing 3 articles per month for the $200 to $250 price tag. Depending upon the market, it is a hard sell. Also, before Panda, it worked very well, particularly when using a network such as Unique Article Wizard. Since all of the panda updates, it is much less effective.

Oh okay, thank you I appreciate the help.

[DarrenC]

Just to follow up with this, Google Panda, made article marketing a bit of a nightmare. There are those that still find success in it. What you want to do is find a quality writer, by that I mean someone that speaks native english and properly researches a topic. Have him or her write a quality article for you and then put it up on your clients site. You're going to pay for a quality article, when I was doing article marketing, I was only paying $2 to $5 per article. They were not quality articles. I am now paying between $25 to $30 for a quality article.
Put several of these quality articles on your clients site each month and it will go a long way with google.

[Anthony82988]

$25 to $30 per article is a bit much in my eyes. I pay around $7.50 an article from my source.
They're great articles as well, all written by native speaking folks too. If you're interested just
let me know.

[DarrenC]

Hi Anthony, sure, please PM me your contact and I will see what the quality is like. I have a really good writer in that range too, but honestly, the quality is not there. The articles never say anything, but just dance around an issue.
I should add that the articles need to be compelling, you want people who do find them to have immense interest, and then tell their friends.

Really it is such a informative information. It helped me so much and I think it will help to many other people. I think you have more knowledge about Article marketing so keep it up to share it with us.

Article writing is such a technical work which demands writing skills
