After a lot of arm twisting and begging I finally got my good buddy Rob to give me his strategy for using articles to generate free traffic to his site. You probably haven't heard of him nor have you seen him on any guru's list. But he is a master at getting free traffic to his sites. So getting him to give me just one of his strategies wasn't easy.

He also told me that he might be willing to share another strategy with me in the future. I truly hope that he does...so stay tuned.

In the mean time..here's a look at his 3 step strategy.


Step 1: Keyword research

This is the step newcomers to Internet marketing often miss out. Before you write a single word, you need to find out what words people are typing into search engines.

One place you can start your keyword research without paying a cent is http://inventory.overture.com and http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/

You can type in various phrases and find out how many searches were done last month at Overture. And find out the top bid price also.

You'll probably find related phrases you hadn't thought of.

For example, for "dvd" it tells us there were 2769664 searches at Overture's network of sites last month. This is a VERY popular topic. You can also see a lot of DVD related phrases.

Step 3: Research the competition

Go to google, type the phrase you've selected, and have a quick look at the top 10 sites listed.

Find the top 10 sites and study them whether they optimized their website well.

Then you can decide how you can compete with them and out ranking them.


Step 4: Write your article.

With your pre-searched key phrase, it's time to write an article. Also use several synonyms. Search engines like that.
