5 Top Web Marketing Techniques

5 Top Web Marketing Techniques
By Hennessy Moore

1. Article Marketing has many advantages: a well written article which is accepted and published on the major article websites has the potential to get hundreds of page views. You can get many backlinks to your site. As a writer, that increases your, and readers are more likely to read your future articles. Keep the length of articles to within 400 and 600 words. Select and submit your article to relevant category. Your article will be reviewed, and if accepted, published. Submission can be done manually, and there are numerous submission software that can submit your articles to dozens of directories. Some recommended submission sites are: Ezinearticles and Articlebase.

2. Video Marketing is now an important tool for reaching vast audiences because most people would rather watch a video than read an article. Creating a video need not be very tasking if you're reticent about sitting in front of a camera. Tools such as Windows Movie Maker and Camtasia's Animotocan enable you to create a good and effective video with slides and sound effects. Upload your videos to video sharing websites, remembering to optimise it for search engines, by including your keywords in your title and description.

3. Affiliate Marketing is the practice in which an affiliate promotes a product on behalf of the merchant. Popular affiliate programmes include Amazon aStore and Clickbank. From an affiliate's standpoint, affiliate programmes are an excellent way of generating income. You simply join a programme, choose a product and start promoting it using the link provided by the network. Your link will contain an ID which is used to track your sales. You're paid a commission on each sale, and I believe Clickbank pays perhaps the highest rate of commission, up to 75% on many products.

4. Social Media Marketing utilises the powers of Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious and LinkedIn, whereby friends and followers share information. YouTube is another powerful tool that you can use to promote your product. One advantage is that when large number of people access your product and find it useful, you become accepted as an expert in your niche. Incidentally, StumbleUpon is growing rapidly, and you can get a large number traffic from it. A word of caution is the bounce back rate from StumbleUpon traffic can be high.

5. Forum Marketing can be extremely profitable if it's utilised correctly. It fundamentally involves signing up to forums and making contributions to discussions. Users tend to be highly knowledgeable in specific topics, and if you're accepted as an expert in your field, the rewards can be extraordinary - users feel comfortable enough to purchase your products, and consequently your ROI increases. Some of the popular forums to which you can subscribe are Warriorforum, Clickbanksuccessforum and Webring. As you complete the various fields when posting on forums, it's advisable to optimise your information for your main keywords.
