Who Does Article Marketing?

By Rob Metras

In order to recognize who is an article marketer, we need to come up with a definition of an article marketer first. Based upon Wikipediaas definition, an Article Marketer is a business that advertises by writing brief articles that relate to their type of industry and distributing them. The articles also include a biography of the author and citations and ways to contact the author. Articles that are written well and distributed freely can make the author and their company more credible and create new business.

Article Marketers are individuals, companies, bloggers, writers and webmasters. They are simply smart business people who comprehend the need to make sure that their name and their product is known by as many potential buyers and business contacts as possible.

Letas look at yahoo.com as a perfect case of article marketing. You will find articles detailing various products or discussing various newsworthy items. The links take you to advertisements and a closer look shows that the articles are also ads. They are always trying to sell something.

Other great examples of Article Marketers are the Vacation Rentals and the Time Share industries. With the Internet they are able to post articles that talk about their business and the properties they have for rent or for sale. They can flood numerous websites and blogs with links to all their offerings.

One of the newest rages in the past few years are bloggers. You can use the game World of Warcraft as an example. The video game has a huge fan base because it is basically an evolving virtual world. The game never ends and continues. The fans are very loyal and there are many fan sites out there to help with tips in the game.

The genius of this is that Blizzard who produces the game gets free advertisement, links to their sight and self promotion from dedicated fans who blog about the game. Think about, instead of spending money on marketing everything themselves, they have their dedicated fan base do it for free. This is an ultimate example of successful Article Marketing.

Dell is another good example of a corporation who benefits from Article Marketing. Articles talking about Dell computers and hyperlinks to Dellas newest deals can be found all over the Internet. Each and every article represents a great piece of marketing.

Who is an Article Marketer? Once again the best answer to that question is smart business people. In this day and age, your business is nothing if your name is not well known. Get your name out there on a few well-written articles and just watch your sales grow.
