Article marketing is simply using articles you've written or that you've had ghostwritten for you, to drive traffic to a blog/website/squidoo page you've set up that sells your product. The article is submitted to article directories and includes a bio box that has a little bit about you and the link to your blog/website/squidoo page.

The tricks to Article Marketing are very simple.

1. Use key words in the title of your article and in the article itself so people searching for those key words will find your article on the major search engines.

2. Make the article informative and interesting, but leave the readers wanting more.

3. Include a teaser in your bio box that entices the reader to click on the link to your website/blog.

4. Write enough articles using those keywords.

How much is enough? A rule of thumb is one article per day for the first month.
