OK boys and girls. Today we're having a pop quiz.

I heard that groan. Don't worry. This will be over in a matter of seconds.

Q1: "__________" is King.

Q2: Link "____________" and link "____________" matter oodles to Google.

The answers are provided inrepparttar following...

Are you hearing a lot of talk from marketers about writing and submitting artic|es to art:cle directories and other ezine publishers? I knew you were. There's been a glut of articles on writing articles. For good reason.

Now I haven't been actively writing and submitting articles until just recently, butrepparttar 136063 effects have been noticeable. So, what have I noticed?

Inrepparttar 136064 last 4 weeks, I submitted three artic|es to a broad network of article directories and announcement groups. Yes, I did take one week off. So call me a slacker. The three article titles that I submitted were:

"How to Put Your Bookmark on Top Every Time."

"When a Customer Has Done Everything to Get Your Goat"

"We'll fix that later..."

I'm going to reportrepparttar 136065 following numbers in real time as I'm writing this article. This relates to "Q2" above. You can do this too because I'll describe each step exactly. It's real simple.

1) Go to http://www.google.com 2) Typerepparttar 136066 exact article title for each ofrepparttar 136067 following titles and put it inside of quotation marks. (The quotation marks force Google to look forrepparttar 136068 exact phrase.) 3) Clickrepparttar 136069 "Google Search" button, and... 3) Be am@zed.

Google reports:

"How to Put Your Bookmark on Top Every Time" - Indexed on 5,820 pages

"When a Customer Has Done Everything to Get Your Goat" - Indexed on 62 pages

"We'll fix that later..." - Indexed on 554 pages

Now, am I going to tell you that in 3 weeks time I've managed to generate 6,436 inbound links to my website? Not. Submitting artic|es doesn't do those kinds of miracles, but my artic|es are definitely out there for other webmasters and ezine publishers to use.

Unique visitor count to GoThrive.com has double since starting my article submissions, and asrepparttar 136070 artic|es get picked up and published,repparttar 136071 inbound links will continue to materialize with time. Not a bad investment of time sincerepparttar 136072 entire process of writingrepparttar 136073 article and submitting it takes no more than one hour per week.

Inbound links pointing to your website are a very good thing to have. This is part 1 answer to question 2 above.

Link Popularity.

The second part ofrepparttar 136074 answer to question 2 above is equally important. You see, it's not just how many inbound links are out there voting for your site, but it's also important that they're voting forrepparttar 136075 right thing.

Link Reputation.

Let's say you have a website that promotes running shoes, and you write an article onrepparttar 136076 wonderful benefits of odor eaters. When you write your article, you'll haverepparttar 136077 opportunity to include a resource box atrepparttar 136078 end of your article and this is where you can capitalize on your chance to build link reputation.
