Once you have those articles written up and you have done keyword research so you can target those that are looking for what you are writing about, then you want to spread your articles around.

First you want to create yourself a blog, I would suggest spending the few dollars for your own domain name if you do not have one already. You will want to install a blog on your domain name (I suggestWordPress Secured) and post your articles to your blog. Once you have your articles on your blog then you will want to bookmark those blog post.

Next you can submit your articles to many online article directories. Create a profile at these directories and submit your articles. The more articles you submit the better off you will be. 

Once you have your articles submitted and approved then you want to take the time to bookmark your articles to help increase the search engine ranking of those articles, just like you did with your blog. A great service for bookmarking is offered by SocialClippings.com here you can see theirbookmarking submission services.

Your blog and article directories also have RSS feeds and you can submit these to RSS directories to help increase the exposure of your articles and blog to even more people. The great thing about RSS feeds is once you have them submitted then each time you write a new blog post or post an article the RSS feed is updated automatically.

This is just the basics but this can help you be on your way to becoming a Article Marketer

I do not advise anyone to upgrade to wordpress 2.7 until they make it stable. Currently it does have some issues and I am working on a dummy version now to create WordPress Secured v3. I do not have any release date as of yet, keep an eye out for it though.

The dummy version I have installed and I am working on has not had very many issues but there are some issues when it comes to several plugins and themes. Another security issue I see is that wordpress has automatic updates, I plan on ripping this out before I release WordPress Secured v3 because it is a huge security risk to allow wordpress automatic access to your system.

Stay tuned for more information…

Following the many free tips below will help you understand how
you can get free traffic coming to your site. Getting traffic to your
site does not happen overnight and it will take some work but you can’t
complain too much if it is free. Once you start to promote your web
site, keep it constant. If you promote your site with persistence, it
will catch your audience’s attention.

Some of these tips many work great for you while others may not. Try
each method and see what works best for you and remember as with all
things trial and error is apart of marketing your website.

~*~ Tips For Free Website Promotion

* The use of forums that are related to your website can drive
traffic to your site. Locate forums related to your website and become
apart of those forums by posting in the discussions and contributing to
the forum community. Do not spam these forums in anyway, you will find
yourself banned if you do. Instead add your website to your forum
signature, when making post then others will see your website link.

* Take advantage of Free Press Release websites, you can find
these by doing a search in the search engines. When you locate a few of
them read their terms and conditions and create your press release.
Many of the press release sites will explain the format your release
needs to be. Just remember a press release is a news worthy document,
not a blatant advertisement.

* Write up some articles based on your websites topic. Once you
have 5 or 10 articles written up then you can start submitting these
articles to article directories. The article directories allow you to
add a resource box on the bottom of the articles, this is where you
advertise your site. You can find many article directories by doing a
search for them in the search engines.

* Post to free classified ads websites, creating related
classifieds and posting in the proper categories can boost your traffic
levels up. As with article directories and press release sites, do not
post any blatant advertisements. Create a interesting classified ad
with a link to your website.

* Join social bookmarking websites and start bookmarking your
website, bookmark your articles and classified ads. There are hundreds
of bookmarking sites and even some services online that will submit
your links to these bookmarking services.

These are just a few of the methods you can do and if you are
consistent with your website promotion efforts you will see results.
Try to search out and find other methods of free advertising so you can
expand your promotion efforts.

Again these are for WordPress Secured v2 users, not regular wordpress.

* Create a sub-domain myproduct.myblog.com and create a page with that product. Make sure that you link to the blog from this created page. Link can be in the footer if you wish, just as long as there is a link.

* After creating the page with the product on the sub-domain name, then login to your blog and create a post about said product and link to the created page for that product.

What you are doing is cross-linking your product and your blog. Do this with 5 or 10 or more products, each time cross-linking and blogging about the product.

* Going a step further you can also create a category specific for each product so when you make a blog post about that product then it is well organized and more user friendly.

* By having your own category for each product make sure to make 1 - 2 post each week for each of the products in that products category. This will give your blog fresh content and help keep your product promoted.

Increasing your blog exposure

* Make sure you get the All-In-One-SEO plugin as this will help with promotion of your blog.

* Make sure you get XML Sitemap plugin as each time you make a post it will update your sitemap and notify google, yahoo, msn, and ask.com

* Make sure to setup your permalinks for more seo friendly url’s.

Doing the above will help you have a better chance of creating a blog that will generate money and traffic.

- Always make backups of important information and store in a safe place separate from your computer.

- Update and patch your operating system, web browser and software frequently. If you have a Windows operating system, start by going to microsoft and running the update wizard. This program will help you find the latest patches for your Windows computer. Also go to microsoft to locate possible patches for your Office programs.

- Install a firewall. Without a good firewall, viruses, worms, Trojans, malware and adware can all easily access your computer from the Internet. Consideration should be given to the benefits and differences between hardware and software based firewall programs.

- Review your browser and email settings for optimum security. Why should you do this? Active-X and JavaScript are often used by hackers to plant malicious programs into your computers. While cookies are relatively harmless in terms of security concerns, they do still track your movements on the Internet to build a profile of you. At a minimum set your security setting for the “internet zone” to High, and your “trusted sites zone” to Medium Low.

- Install antivirus software and set for automatic updates so that you receive the most current versions.

- Do not open unknown email attachments. It is simply not enough that you may recognize the address from which it originates because many viruses can spread from a familiar address.

- Do not run programs from unknown origins. Also, do not send these types of programs to friends and coworkers because they contain funny or amusing stories or jokes. They may contain a Trojans horse waiting to infect a computer.

- Disable hidden filename extensions. By default, the Windows operating system is set to “hide file extensions for known file types”. Disable this option so that file extensions display in Windows. Some file extensions will, by default, continue to remain hidden, but you are more likely to see any unusual file extensions that do not belong.

- Turn off your computer and disconnect from the network when not using the computer. A hacker can not attack your computer when you are disconnected from the network or the computer is off.

- Consider making a boot disk on a floppy disk in case your computer is damaged or compromised by a malicious program. Obviously, you need to take this step before you experience a hostile breach of your system.

Since wordpress 2.7 was released on thursday I have been looking through the system and testing it. I have installed a dummy blog for the testing and have implemented security measures on the blog to see if there can be a smooth transition from WordPess Secured v2 which was recently released.

So far everything seems to be running fine but I am doing more test to make sure. I have got rid of the icons and created my own and put them in admin as they are much better looking. Will be spending the next few days going through some other things on the new release and will make a decision on a new release of WordPress Secured based off wordpress 2.7

While many e-commerce Websites are reputable and have taken the necessary safety precautions to protect you, it never hurts to always proceed cautiously. If you are making an online purchase consider these easy steps:

1. Use only one credit card, preferably with a low credit limit, when making online purchases. Avoid using an ATM or debit card. If possible use only a pre-paid disposable credit card.

2. Be wary of unsolicited offers by sellers. The Internet National Fraud Information Center Watch reported that email, as a method of contact by Internet scammers was up 22%. While the offer may be legitimate, spammers like to use this tactic to side-step reputable sites that provide consumer protection for online purchases.

3. Use only reputable e-commerce websites that list a street address and telephone number in case you need to contact them directly.

4. Read the website’s privacy policy. Some websites may reserve the right to sell/give your information to a third party. Check the document to see if they allow an opportunity to “opt-out” of receiving special offers from third-party vendors or for permission to share your personal information.

5. Check for a lock symbol in the status bar at the bottom of your Web browser window. Also, do not provide your personal information if the website address doesn’t start with “https” (a sign that the site is using a secure server).

6. Choose only verified sellers. Check to see if the vendor is a verified member of a reputable third party such as the Better Business Bureau, VeriSign, or Guardian eCommerce. These third-party sites help to ensure online consumers will be protected when shopping or conducting e-commerce transactions.

7. Check that the delivery date posted is reasonable. If you have not dealt with the vendor on a regular basis, be wary of any Website that states the shipment will be delayed 20 or more days. Delivery dates of 7-10 days are more common.

8. Keep a paper trail of all online transactions. Print out a hard copy of the transaction and keep it in a file for future reference.

9. Be wary of website offers that just sound too good to be true. The Internet is littered with get rich quick scams and false advertising claims. Investigate all claims thoroughly before proceeding.

10. If you do not receive what you paid for, and the vendor will not return your emails or calls, contact your state’s Department of Consumer Affairs for further assistance.
