Both Article Writing and Press Releases are excellent free methods of driving traffic and simultaneously expanding your prescence on the web. The difference between the two is this: Articles are informational write ups, similar to a news article, that blend personal experience with factual information. Press Releases are announcements regarding new product lines, launches or business opportunities.

With a little bit of research on your part, you can locate niche sections of your target audience to that you can direct to your sites by rising to the top of search engine results. Remember, competition can be fierce, so focus on producing quality content and embedding your personal style into your articles.

---Here are some key pieces of information to include in your Article---

* Power of the Opportunity/Product

* How the Opportunity/Product Has Benefited You Specifically

* Call to Action Directing Your Reader to Click on Your Link

Articles don't need to be long. A page and a half or right around 800 words. Believe it or not, the formatting is quite important. You'll want to keep your paragraphs short in length and limit them to about 4 sentences. Its enough to convey your idea concisely but brief enough that people will actually read what you're writing.

Remember most people on the Internet scroll or skim through most things they read, so you want to keep your text as tight as possible.

While Articles are an accepted method of marketing online, try to keep the tone of your articles closer to something you might read in the news. That doesn't mean it has to be boring (See the Example Article below) but you want to present facts and information in a way that will make the reader click your link and go to your website.

Keep your reader looking for more information that they can only get by clicking your link. Some sites will allow you to include the link directly in the body of the article, some may only allow the link to appear in your signature file below the article.

To find Article Submission services, try searching Google. Be sure to check the ranks of the sites you're interested in submitting to and making sure they get the traffic they boast about (Check Webrank at Alexa.com).

Optimize your article marketing by submitting one article to several submission sites every couple of days.Choose a handful of sites, like 3-5, and submit your article. Don't over do it, (as in more than 5 per article) or the traffic you generate won't be viewed as organic by the Search Engines and that could be bad for your overall ranking. Consistency is key, so just focus on producing one quality article at a time.

DO NOT pay for submission services! Submitting your article to several different services will get close to the same results, and it will get them for free.

Some sites will ask for a donation or contribution that will get your article ranked faster, but these are not required.

You may need to sign up to get a free account with the services in order to submit your work.

You'll notice each article has been labelled with Title: Summary: and Body:. Most submission sites will require you to submit your articles in this fashion, so be prepared by having all the information when you are ready to submit your articles.

Title:GBG's Liquid 10-in-1 Vitamin

Summary: My boyfriend Keith Kearney and I recently added GBG's Liquid 10-in-1 Vitamin to our daily routine and our results have been great so far. Get the full information on the health benefits of this amazing product.

Body:

Have you heard about the GBG Liquid 10-in-1 Vitamin?

If not then, you're in for some life changing information!

You See, We Used to Be Pill Poppers!

GBG's 10-in-1 Liquid Vitamin joined the morning routine in our house several months back, and its fitting in just perfectly!

Its mellow citrus flavor tastes great with the orange juice we already drink every morning, and the 2 tablespoon daily dose goes down far more smoothly than the 10 multi vitamin pill pack that used to be part of breakfast.

We also noticed early off that taking our vitamins in Liquid form sped them into our bodies much faster than when we were "pill poppers!".

That means we actually started to feel the effects of taking our Vitamins!

Everybody knows taking Vitamins can be an important tool to getting our Bodies the Nutrition We Need!

But in our house we have a special reason.

For my boyfriend Keith, Vitamin supplements play a vital role in helping to control some of the offsets of Lyme's Disease. While it is not a life threatening condition for most, those with long term damage like Keith deal with Nerve Damage, Circulation and Heart problems, Heightened Sensitivity to Sound and Light and Joint Inflammation/Arthritis.

Because antibiotics are no longer effective, Keith relies on maintaining a consistent diet packed with proteins and vegetables. While this helps to control his symptoms, it doesn't always do much for fatigue or inflammation.

For Keith finding the right vitamin balance was essential to his ability to function. And believe me, we've tried many combinations of pills, juices and powdered supplements to achieve the correct "formula".

Thankfully, GBG's 10-in-1 Liquid Vitamin is the first single product that's enabled Keith to see a direct change

in his health. If you think your health could benefit from a GBG's rapid absorption formula, click the link below to find out how to to try it for yourself today!

Press Releases:

Press Releases serve a slightly different function than Articles, although their overall prescence will help increase traffic to your site, as it will give potential customers more information about you, your GBG products and your GBG opportunity.

Press Releases however focus on Announcements, such as the launch of a new system or even the creation of your first webpage. Perhaps if you're new to the social networking scene and you want to declare which sites you've chosen and why, or which ones have provided you with the best business connections. Or if you've just received your first bottle of GBG's 10 in 1 liquid vitamin (or even better your first check!).

500 to 800 words in length will do, again the purpose of a Press Release is ultimately to make your reader click your link and continue on to yuor website. Follow the same formatting style as you would with an article, short brief paragraphs.

In addition to the Title: Summary: and Body:, you can also submit either the location you're from, or the location of the company you're writting about in the beginning of the Body of the press releases.

As for submission, you will most likely be able to submit your press releases to many of the same sites listed above for articles. Many offer a different section or page specifically for Press Releases.

Example Press Release:

GBG News and Information, Poughkeepsie, NY: Keith Kearney, top Internet Marketer, recently announced he's begun working with one of the fastest growing teams in the GBG Home Business network. Many skeptics have professed interest as to whether or not the (GBG opportunity is really the GBG scam), but Keith's reputation for sound judgement and consistency stand up well in the corner for this rising nutritional wellness company.

Most recognize his name from the wildly popular Free and Powerful System, which Kearney co-founded last year with his partner Ken Rankin. And many of the thousands who were able to build a residual income through GDI by promoting their business with the F&P System can testify to the unique vision Kearney has for propelling others forward.

Taking a look at the GBG Home Business opportunity from Kearney's perspective, there are a number of available benefits from both the product and the pay plan.

For one, the GBG 10-in-1 Liquid Vitamin, a Kearney recommendation, is designed to be taken in one daily 2 tbsp dose. Not a handful of pills or a bottle of pulpy juice to gulp down. For convenience, try taking with your morning oj, or simply measure your dose into a clean shot glass and toss it down the hatch!

Another benefit is the absorpency rate! Keith's ten year history in MLM and nutritional products has exposed him to a number of vitamins and supplements that can take weeks to show even the slightest result. The engineering behind the 10-in-1 Liquid Vitamin enables it to pass into your bloodstream quickly, allowing you to feel the results right away!
