Obviously, the Internet changed all that. When you want to know something, seriously, where’s the first place you go to look? With the advent of the Internet and all the many search engines, it was bound to happen that people would begin to first turn to their computers for information.

Because of this, ways to get information out to the people became an important agenda, especially for marketers and merchants, who saw the benefits of the Internet from early on. Soon, article marketing was discovered/created/invented, as it is an ideal way to get information across to readers quickly, easily and, best of all, free of charge.

Article marketing, in case you are unaware, is the business of writing an informative piece and posting it to the Internet via websites and article directories. By providing useful information, an article can lead visitors to a merchant’s website where the potential for sales exists. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

The most efficient method of doing this is for an author to write an article, include a link at the bottom of the article in something called a “bio box” or an “author’s resource box” and then post the article to a select group of article directories. By posting to these directories, exposure increases, and backlinks are created for the website to which the article leads.

As readers, clients and customers come to rely on a particular author’s expertise in a given area–and as the popularity of the site grows–advertiser’s will begin to flock to the author’s site, wanting to advertise their goods, as well.

An arrangement between the author and the advertiser usually involves a contract to pay the author either for the number of views the advertiser’s ad receives, or for the number of clink-thru’s. Sometimes, though, the author simply charges a flat monthly fee to post an advertiser’s ad on their website.

To attract both readers and advertisers, it is vital that the author write quality articles. Too many spelling or grammatical errors will not appeal to anyone, the readers nor the advertisers. Facts must be accurate and absolutely no plagiarism is allowed. An excellent place to find out if an article has been copied is copyscape.com. There, you can enter the URL where an article is posted. Copyspace will search the Internet for any pages that match (to within a certain percentage) the text of the article in question.
