Article Marketing Resources: 5 Tools/Resources To Improve Efficiency

Article Marketing is an effective tactic for website promotion but let's face it... It does require some effort. In this article, I'll share some tools/resources to help make your Article Marketing efforts more productive.

Here are 5 tools/resources to bring you more success with Article Marketing and make it as easy as humanly possible:

1. Marketleap.com

One of the big benefits to writing and submitting articles is the huge influx of "one-way backlinks" you'll enjoy as a result. In order to track your effectiveness you need an easy way to check your progress and Marketleap.com offers this.

Once on their site, click the "Link Popularity" link and enter your site's URL. Marketleap will tell you how many links it found in the major search engines.

2. NoteTab.com

NoteTab Light is a free text-editor that is easy to use and extremely handy for article marketers.

After creating your article in a word processor, paste it into NoteTab Light and let it remove the unnecessary formatting and force your articles to be 60 characters in length.

This is fast and easy to do and will score you big points with Article Directory Editors.

Another cool feature is called "Text Statistics." If you highlight your article and choose "Text Statistics," NoteTab Light will tell you how many words are in your article.

3. InstantArticleWizard.com

If you have difficulty writing articles, check out Instant Article Wizard software. It crawls the web and returns you short pieces of copy from a variety of websites that are relevant to your article topic.

Armed with this information, you can rearrange the text, add valuable information, re-word sections in your own "voice" and voila, you've got yourself an article.

Just make sure to check your new article in Copyscape.com to make sure the search engines view the content as unique before submitting it to article directories.

4. ArticleMarketer.com

This is a web-based submission service that will submit your articles to hundreds of directories as well as to blog and ezine publishers.

With their "One-Touch" service, you'll be able to distribute articles faster (and easier) than you ever though possible.

While article submission software can improve your effectiveness, you'll find Article Marketer's service faster (and more effective) than any other service I've found.

5. Live-Keyword-Analysis.com

This is a free service that allows you to enter your article body text (or any website copy for that matter) and get an instant report of the "keyword density" for the text you've entered.

If you keep the "keyword density" around 2-3%, you'll find that your articles will receive good search engine placement for the keyword phrases you've optimized for.

Marketing with articles does require some effort, but the benefits in targeted website traffic, increased one-way backlinks and search engine placement more than justifies the effort.

If you "streamline" your process you'll submit more articles and receive more benefit. This success will be the fuel you need to continue your Article Marketing efforts well into the future.

I hope you find these 5 tools/resources useful in improving your Article Marketing efficiency and wish you much success in the future.
