The New Google Formulas

A little background first. The old formulas were based on linking. Linking and more linking. That's generally what it took to get good SEO rankings in Google. Sure, you had to have a title, and meta-keywords didn't hurt. And your content had to be on topic. But the real influencer was the links. All things being held equal, the more links you had to a particular page, the higher rankings in Google for your keyword. So just about everyone who wanted SEO rankings would focus on keywords.

But things have changed now. You can't just "buy" your way into Google rankings by getting lots of links. In fact, lots of links can hurt you instead of help you. We are seeing tons of evidence that Google is just simply devaluing the links that come to your site when they see any kind of spam tendencies. And it is almost impossible to get tons of links in a hurry without creating a spam-like footprint. And the servers at Google are exceptionally good at seeing right through that footprint. And they devalue the links and you don't get credit for them. And so it is like you don't even have the links at all. So no rankings.

So what is the solution? I believe that now more than ever, the solution is article marketing. Not spamming by writing an article and submitting it to 1000 sites article marketing. Instead, real article marketing, the way article marketing was designed in the beginning before it was corrupted with spinning and spamming.

So what is real article marketing? It is simple. Write articles that people want to read (people, not spiders and robots) and get those articles published online. Then get a few - read: a few - links to those articles by - get this: writing more articles and linking to the first articles. That's it.

Sounds too simple to work, doesn't it? But it does. In fact, some of the best traffic online these days is coming from article marketing just like this. Simple. Easy to do.

It's so easy you can do it too.

Simply write 3 articles each day. 400 words each. If you type at 40 words per minute that will take you 30 minutes. Then submit one article to your website. Then submit the second article to your favorite article directory, with a link back to your website. Then submit the third article to a non-article directory website such as a niche blog or social media website, and put two links in that article, one to your site, and one to the article on the article directory. That's it. That's it for article marketing.

Then to supercharge it, just focus on sending traffic - not to the articles - but to the niche website or social media site you submitted the third article to. Drive traffic with your list, maybe buy a little traffic, recommend to your friends, etc.
