WARNING! There is no fast down and dirty way for you to get top rankings and lots of qualified traffic to your ecommerce site inside of ten minutes, like all of the other so called Search Engine Optimization Gurus who spam your email inbox claim. But then again, if you believe all of the hype that they regurgitate, you probably still believe in the tooth fairy or that the earth is flat.

If you would like honest information about how a sheer beginner established a profitable and successful website in way less than one year, then hang in there. This article is about what has worked outrageously well at getting mountains of highly targeted traffic to an ecommerce website that I own.

A year ago I was a complete amateur at this, and I didn't know what Search Engine Optimization, reciprocal back links or article spooling and marketing was. Today I am the owner of a outrageously successful ecommerce website.

Now, I don't claim to be a Search Engine Optimization guru. But I can honestly tell you that in well under one year, I've been outrageously successful at driving lots of traffic to my ecommerce website without paying for it. My ecommerce website also has a much higher conversion rate than many other ecommerce sites on the web do. In other words, my site is well in the "black" and making plenty of money.

Here is a little background on my experience: I've been in my own business for many, many years and I've had a lot of success at it. Since about 90% of all new businesses fail within thirty-six months, and many established businesses fail on a regular basis, I think that over the years I've learned how to rapidly adapt to a changing marketplace.

I decided to transform my existing business into an Internet based business in February. So I got a copy of FrontPage and I started designing and building a website. At the same time I started transforming my "product" for online consumption. In June, I was 59 and I retired from my professional practice in order to focus full time on marketing my "product" via the Internet.

You might be wondering what my "product" is. My "product" is information. But I'm not going to reveal to you exactly what kind of information I sell, and I'm not going to send you to my website because I don't want my competition to know how I took a brand new homemade PR0 site, and advanced it to a PR4 site by Thanks Giving - a six month time span.

More importantly, I don't want them to know the processes that I used to get my homemade website to get to a first page ranking in the Google organic SERPS for dozens of important keywords, and on the first three pages of Yahoo, MSN, and Google organic SERPS for literally hundreds of different keyword phrases. It has taken me well under a year, while lots of my competitors have been working at it for ten years!

I'll be the first to admit that I've wasted lots of hard earned money and time on lots of Internet marketing software and lots of worthless information from the "Internet Get Rich Quick Gurus." At the same time I've learned which Internet software packages are productive and worth the money.

HOW I FOUND SUCCESS ON THE INTERNET - ARTICLE WRITING AND MARKETING

Many people use reciprocal linking to promote ecommerce websites. I myself have traded links with others in my industry. However, it is my belief that publishing articles that I've written on thousands of competitor sites for free has had the most profound impact on my ecommerce site's search engine ranking and the amount of money that I've been able to make. But beware: If you are not fully aware of the downside of article marketing, you can quickly drive yourself out of business.

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT MAKE ARTICLE MARKETING SO EFFECTIVE?

It's simple: 1. The fastest way to rank well on the major search engines is to have lots of one-way links from other on-topic websites to your website.

2. When you write a good article and put it on another website, your "payment" for the use of that article is one or more links from that article back to your site. The more articles that you write and publish, the more free one-way links pointing back to your website. The more one-way links from other on-topic websites, the better your site will rank in the organic SERPS.

3. If you are able to write a good article, you can set yourself apart as the expert in your field. Well written articles will create a lot of validation for you in the eyes of the public. And a well-written article is one of the best ways to get qualified traffic to your site. That is because people will read it, and if you've built their trust through your article, they will click your link to see what you have to offer them.

NOW FOR THE MONKEY WRENCH - AVOIDING THE GOOGLE DUPLICATE CONTENT FILTER

In order to be successful you have to get your articles published on hundreds or even thousands of other websites. None of the major search engines like duplicated content. So even if you have an article on hundreds or thousands of other websites, the search engines can find the identical articles and only give you credit for the back links in one, or maybe a few of the published articles.

So in a perfect world, in order to get the most benefit from your articles you have to create a one of a kind article for each website that it is published on. But no one has enough time or talent to accomplish that, right?

Well . . . . Thanks to modern computer programming, articles can be spun, spooled, or re-written automatically using software. And indeed, in 2006, article-spinning software began to make its appearance on the scene.

Unfortunately, most articles that are spooled are worthless because the articles that the software creates on full autopilot can be totally laughable. The grammar and syntax is usually all wrong. And people who read them often think that they were published by a two year old. And because of latent symantic indexing, the Google algorithm can also pick out and ignore your articles as well.

However, if you create a well-written article to start with, and then use the spinning software correctly, the software can re-write it into hundreds or even thousands of unique, high quality articles that anyone would feel proud of. And more importantly, your articles will be more than unique enough to avoid the duplicate content filters.

If you don't like writing articles, if you do not have the time, or you don't have the expertise, don't worry. You can purchase PLR (private label rights) articles and spin them! But you will always be better off if you can write your own articles.

I've used desktop article spooling software that I paid about $200.00 for, to create spooled articles, and the software works great. As I write this page, I still do use this kind of software for spinning articles that I submit to article directories. The upside of this is that each article directory gets a unique version of the article, and this version won't get filtered out by the duplicate content filters. The down side is that as other webmasters take these articles from the article directories and publish them on their sites, most of these re-published articles will get filtered out. But they will still increase the traffic to your site as people read them and click your links.

Published articles almost always trigger many more referrals if they are published on your competitor's website! But it is somewhere between very difficult and impossible to recruit other competitor webmasters to publish your articles. So that relegates you to submitting directly to article directories.

HERE IS SOME GOOD NEWS!

There are some affordable Internet sites that allow you to use their article spinning software right on their websites, to create dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of unique articles. You can even try some of them out for free. It is very easy to learn and to use their software. And the benefits of these services are almost too good to be true. Let me tell you a little bit about these online services.

To start with, the best part about these online services is that they take your article, and they can spin an unlimited number of unique versions of it. Then they publish a different unique version of your article on hundreds of on-topic websites. These articles are unique enough that a duplicate content filter will not filter out these articles. So you will get the benefit of all of your back links for ranking purposes.

This is real muscle. We are talking about the ability to get your articles published on hundreds of your competitors and your peer's websites practically overnight. To sweeten the pot, when your articles are published on another site, they won't publish that Webmaster's articles on your site. This will eliminate reciprocal linking and nets you hundreds, or even thousands of one-way links.

And unlike article directories where your links are severely limited, these services allow you to put up to 5 keyword rich back links in each of your articles. It's best to have each of those back links go to a different page on your site, not just to your home page.

You should make the back links appropriate. So if your article is about baby furniture, and you are talking about cribs, you'll want to link to a page about baby cribs on your site. If you are talking about playpens, you'll want to link to a page that features playpens, etc.

The plans for the future on some of these article spinning sites are to spin your unique articles to thousands of on-topic blogs, and into hundreds of article directories automatically. And remember, every submission will be unique as far as the duplicate content filters are concerned.

Don't get carried away, because this is not a ten second fix for the huge job of writing hundreds or even thousands of unique articles and submitting them to hundreds of article directories and thousands of peer websites. If you believe that something like that exists, then you probably still believe in the tooth fairy.

You will still have to put a great deal of effort into creating well-written professional articles. And then you must be willing to put effort into looking up the synonym words and phrases that the software will use to spin your article. But believe me, you can not accomplish in a full month what these services can do in an hour.

As an example of what can be done: I wrote four different articles on different kinds of information that I have available for sale. And after only 12 days with one of these services, my articles were on two-hundred-forty-two different competitor site on-topic web pages.

You can do the math! With five back links in each article, one to my home page and four to different deep linked product pages on my ecommerce site, that's nine-hundred-sixty-eight back links in only 12 days! And I began to see some of those links indexed by the major search engines within that same time period. A little mathmatical extrapolitation will tell you what will happen after a month, 3 months, a year, etc.!

HOW HARD IS IT TO SPOOL ARTICLES USING THESE SERVICES?

It is so easy to use the software applications that it is a breeze. You will learn to use the software within a few minutes.

Some of these article spinning services will let you test out their software for free. Many give you a 30-day money back guarantee. So you get to try the software for a full month to experience how much it will help your site to improve its rankings and its traffic before you are committed to having to pay for the service. I highly recommend this type of software and you will want to give it a test!
