Traffic that enters your site through natural means (such as search engines) is classified as ‘organic traffic’. Without a high search engine ranking, this is not going to happen. Often, this requires at least top ten rankings, as the chances of people finding your website otherwise are not very good.

Proper search engine optimization is a must if you want your site to have high search rankings. Optimizing your page effectively will cause it to be simpler for search engines to index your website, and index it highly. Done correctly, your site can go from virtually unknown to an ‘authority’ website in a matter of weeks. The problem now is learning how to do the SEO.

A while ago, it was possible to merely stuff your page with relevant keywords, and then rely on the search engines to list your website highly. That won’t work anymore. The ‘big three’ search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) have started to crack down on ‘keyword stuffing’, and will penalize people who still do it. So, we’re left with a dilemma here: how are we going to optimize a website with these switched algorithms?

For high search rankings, you need plenty of backlinks. This is doubly true with Google, which weighs backlinks very heavily. Backlinks are so imperative that your page will climb up in the search rankings even if it is not optimized for a specific keyword, if it has enough backlinks. However, building backlinks may turn out to be a lot more difficult than you think.

One strategy involves searching for article databases, blogs, and sites that you can submit unique articles to, hoping that they get published. This strategy goes under the name ‘article marketing’. While this is technically doable, surely no one has the time to rewrite the same article 30 times to ensure that each version is different. The time invested in doing this doesn’t justify the returns. While article marketing does work for building a few backlinks, it has just about died out.

See why article marketing as you know it is dead.

The internet evolves quickly. Depending on how you interpret this, it is a positive or negative thing. One example is the changes that search engines have made to their algorithms. This change came out of nowhere. Because of this, lots of top-ranking sites suddenly dropped out overnight. In this case, rapid change was a bad thing.

Now, let’s examine Web 2.0. This includes social networking sites that you may be familiar with, such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blogs, etc. With Web 2.0, information can be shared instantly and content can become ‘viral’ , meaning the content can quickly reach an audience of virtually all of the internet within several moments of the information being released. For affiliate marketers, this is probably one of the best things in the world to come along.

Suddenly, the entire internet becomes potential visitors to your site. Link to your website on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or any social bookmark such as Digg, StumbleUpon, etc. Each time you post your link, it counts as a backlink and a source of traffic. You can also take advantage of blogs to push your website and get backlinks/traffic. Search engines love content from Web 2.0, so you’re doing yourself another favor in the end. Excellent.

Where Web 2.0 exists, so does Article Marketing 2.0. Do you remember the ‘article marketing’ technique described earlier? What if the process of rewriting articles was handled automatically for you? Imagine posting a unique, rewritten article to over ten thousand sites, each having its own traffic? What if all you had to do was write a single article in a special ‘spinnable’ format and then have it automatically rewritten (spun) for distribution to websites?

This is what AMAutomation does. You write one article in a special format, then upload it to AMAutomation’s article database. Article Marketing Automation then takes care of the rest, building traffic and creating backlinks while you’re free to work on other things. To avoid the ‘duplicate content’ penalty, your article is rewritten every time it becomes published. Like what happens with Web 2.0, your article becomes ‘viral’. Your backlinks multiply, and traffic will come flooding in.

This is exactly what Article Marketing 2.0 is about.

Article marketing is dead. Long live Article Marketing 2.0.
