Article Marketing, is one of the most popular and proven strategies that a blogger can use today to draw your target market to your web site. It has become very popular in the last couple of years, because it establishes you as an authority in your field, while driving large amounts of targeted web traffic to your site.

Targeted web traffic is essential to compete in today’s online business market, without it, most likely you are at a standstill getting the exposure that is needed to successfully market your products and services.

Article marketing is nothing more than writing articles which are related to your sites niche, and simply submitting them to article directories that have authority status. Since these directories have such status, they usually have good pagerank, great traffic, and well established in the search engines.
