The trick is knowing the best way to utilize them. Let’s start off by defining the process of attaining an ehow 1- way incoming link:

“When your article goes live, it’s time to start marketing it! You market your article by building as many links into it as possible. You attain these links by writing articles for other article submission sites (thus linking back to your ehow article), submitting your ehow article on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook, placing a link to your ehow article on your own blog or website, asking your friends/family members to place your ehow link on their site or blog, creating a video on youtube and placing your ehow link in the video description (make sure it’s a hot link).”

REMEMBER: A valid link is when it’s hot like this. And not like this. (notice how this one isn’t “hot” and doesn’t link out to another site).

1. The first thing that you need to do is realize is the important of keyword research. Without keyword research you are dead in the water. You need to use certain tools to realize exactly what people in your target market are tying in. After that you can get on the first page of Google and watch the traffic flow!

2. How are you going to do this? It is not as easy as simply including your keyword phrase a few times in your article, in fact that will not get you anywhere. The Google search engine spiders are always on the lookout for keyword spamming, and their is a fine line between keyword spamming and keyword success. Proper density, use of LSI keywords, and things of that nature are very important.

3. You must write for people as well as the search engines. This is a talent that is very rare. Of all the articles I read online, I would be willing to bet that less than 5% of people actually have any clue how to use SEO content writing effectively to make money with eHow.

If you cannot do these three things, then you are not going to be able to have much success with ehow. Yes, you will make a few dollars. But you most likely won’t get articles onto page 1 for your targeted keywords. And THAT is where you really rake in the dough, not just from ehow, but from the click thrus to your business/blog, or whatever you are promoting.

If you are not able to write, then you need to hire a top notch SEO Content Writer that can provide you with great content, as well as a detailed marketing strategy to market your article and boost the search engine presence of your article.

The reality of article marketing is that thousands of articles are published online each and every day, so how do you make your article really stand out? I can tell you that paying a part-time freelance writer 5 bucks to write a less than stellar article is not the way to go. You need someone who is capable of producing a complete article for you that includes writing research and promotion.

Step 1: Research What is your article going to be about? You need to focus on a few specific keywords in order to make sure your article stands out from the crowd. Keyword research is often one of the most overlooked aspects of article marketing, but it is crucial to a successful campaign. You need to find a keyword phrase that you want to focus on and make it the central point of your article.

Step 2: Writing You need to write an article that makes sense to the search engines, as well as human readers. This means using SEO content writing in an effective manner, not just keyword stuffing. Putting your keyword phrase awkwardly in your article 10 times is not going to make the almighty Google very happy. Also, break your article down into 3 or 4 paragraphs to make the article more aesthetically pleasing to your readers.

Step 3: Promotion If you are just going to write an article and not promote it, then you are not going to maximize the potential of each article. You should get your article out there with social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and get some backlinks. Blog comments can provide great one-way links to your articles, thus getting them to rank higher in the search engines.

Follow these three tips in order to increase the effectiveness of your SEO article writing campaign.
