Article Archives = Tons of Free Publicity
- Brian Garvin -
If anyone has ever had the pleasure of taking Rick Beneteau's Ezine Money Course at http://www.garvinweb.com/r/ezinemoney, they know that Articles Submitted to Ezines Give You More Publicity than Paid Ads do. You can draw thousands and thousands of people to your Website with articles you write. This article however, won't teach you how to construct an article or how to promote it, but how and why you should construct your own article archive. This can Really get you major Free Publicity. I'm shocked that lots more people don't do it. It's not hard, and with an hour a day, in a few weeks you can have a healthy archive waiting for Ezine Publishers Hungry for Quality Content.
Here are a few sites that are currently running their own Article Archives..

So how much Free Publicity can a Free Article Archive Get You? Is this really worth Pursuing? Well Lets see. I've personally used almost all the articles from the Archives above and will be including them in my new Virtual Wealth Package Known as the MONEY! CD-ROM located at http://www.garvinweb.com/money. Plus, all my Dealers including myself will eventually be managing Huge Mailing Lists and will More than Likely use some of them to Provide Quality Content to their Readers.
These Articles will also be available in other Report CD's I write, including one with Duplication Rights, so in 3-5 years, they'll be all over the internet. It would cost Tens of Thousands of Dollars to buy this kind of Publicity, but since these smart self-publishers already had an Article Archive Ready to go, it was simple to Swipe the Articles right off the net and include them in my Info Products.
Here are some tips in constructing an Article Archive..
- At the Top of your Article Archive, include a Photo of Yourself. Some Publishers Require this Before they use your Article. Although there is no "Industry Standard" Photo Sizes that I'm aware of, the two most common sizes (in pixels) are 80 x 105 and 90 x 115. Once you get your Photo Made, you can easily resize it with a Paint Program such as Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop.
- Let Readers know that they are welcome to use these Articles in Ezines, on their Websites and in Info Products they sell as long as they include Your Copyright Info. and Bylines as well as leaving the article unedited.
- Here's an Important Tip I haven't heard anyone Mention Yet. Always use Physical Links verses Logical Links when Constructing Your Article Archive. An Example of a Physical Link would be http://www.garvinweb.com. An Example of a logical link would be index.html. This way, when an Impatient Ezine Administrator rolls their mouse over your article, they will not have to change anything. I also use Nothing but Physical Links in my Source Code for the Same Reason. This way, if someone wants to put my article on their Website, they won't need to edit anything. Unfortuately, not everybody is intuitive enough to do this. It would also be helpful to put comment tags before the beginning of the article and at the end of your Copyright Headers, so people that 'swipe' your article can do it in seconds.
- Consider including a link to Your Article Archive in your Headers. This way, Ezine Publishers will know exactly where to go to pick up more Gems of Wisdom you wrote. This might cause a Reciprocal Publishing Effect. In other words, an Ezine Administrator Publishes one of your articles. 100 go to your Website to see your article Archive. 5 Publish one of your articles. Now 500 visit your Website and 25 of them Publish Your Article. Eventually, your articles are all over the internet. Also, you never know when someone might want to include it in an eBook or Info Product. Once these articles are out there, there's no stopping them! People are always looking for free stuff!
As Stated Before, this isn't an Article on Ezine Promotion. There are plenty of Articles on that. However, link the Archive off your Home Page. This way people visiting will have access to it. Some of Your Customers Might Be Ezine Administrators, and this is a Great Way to get Started! More than likely, they'll publish it if they know you.
Remember, It Just Takes One Good Article to Get People Flocking to your site in Droves!
