I could write about one, two and three. Then I could write about how things are when one, two and three are together. Then I could write about what it would be like if one two three did not exist. What would one two three be like if you forgot one? If you only had one, would that be of any use to you?
What would one, two three be like if you took away two? What if you thought two was too feminine? Would two be any fun without one and three? What if two was cracked or misspelled? Did you know that two can also be part of double digit numbers too?
What would one, two and three be like without three? If three is really just a small group of one's, is one still the loneliest number? Can three be eaten without milk? What if when you have one, two and three, you put them in the order of three, one and two?
If you were to take one of any of the numbers one, two three and bring in another one, two or three, would that be similar to h2o? Do you think that one, two three is effected (affected) by the weather? What about if they are indoors or outdoors?
The bottom line is that you can take something as simple as one, two and three and catalog as many different scenarios as you can think about in a day using everything in your life, memory and environment and write about it all day long. I guess what I am saying is that one, two and three are really infinite.
When you're done with all of that, go ask your mother what one two three was like when she was a kid.

Article Marketing - You Can't Live Without These 3 Building Blocks
1. The articles have to have key word rich content. We know that people don't go to the article directories and just search around through the list and pick out whatever catches their eye. The bottom line is that people perform searches with the major search engines, typing in a key word or keyword phrase in order to find data that will help them get the information they are looking for.
So, although you should write your articles for humans, you should write them for humans that are looking for their information through search engines. If your article is not indexed with appropriate and logical key words, it is probably going to end up an undisturbed packet of bits somewhere: therefore, bringing you, as the writer, very little value in terms of creating pathways back to your website, blog or ezine subscription -- which translates to little or no visitors for your site.
2. The articles have to be published on high profile directory sites with a *page ranking* of 3 or higher. The reality is that most of us will never have a website, blog, article or group of articles valued by the search engines enough to get a top page ranking for a key word or key word phrase. This is the value of publishing and syndicating your articles with one of the larger article directories. They have the clout, you have the content.
So, an article directory gives your article credibility both with the readers, and the search engines. Because of this, it has a better chance of getting a higher ranking in the search engine results. Those rankings will improve the visibility of the article and provide you with readers you might not have otherwise gotten.
3. The article has to have a working resource box with at least one fully written URL, information on the value that the author brings to the reader, and a call to action.
Not only is your article going to be published on other sites, each having different formats for inputting the data, but you don't know who will be doing the actual publishing. One way of protecting yourself against possible problems with the links in your resource box is to type at least one URL with the full http colon back slashes in the address.
In addition to the great article, let the reader know something about the author that will confirm to them that looking to this author for more information is a good decision. *John Doe has personally helped 70 people learn to eat properly with a knife and fork allowing them to eat in public without ridicule.*
And lastly, a call to action: *If you never want to be embarrassed by your obvious lack of breeding again, sign up to receive a free report on how your use of the knife and fork can fool the most pompous people, even fooling the king and queen themselves.

Article Marketing - For Those With Eyes To See, Real Opportunity Awaits
I want to be honest with you; my goal is to build a massive responsive opt-in email list. So why am I writing all of these articles on article marketing? Because I know that if I master this, it will be the foundation I will be able to build my entire online marketing career.
How is that possible? Let's think about this for a minute. Isn't it words that determine and measure the course of everything that happens on the Internet? It all started with a bunch or research done by college professors and students at the major universities around the United States.
This research was stored on hard drives connected together by an information dissemination system created by the United States Military to enable them to maintain a wide area network in case of nuclear attack.
Doesn't that sound like something out of an old science fiction novel? What's funny to me is that the reality of today has exceeded all of our wildest fantasies of our yesteryears.
Today we have algorithms that are so complex they are able to determine and predict patterns not only in language, but in languages so specific they create thousands of different groupings which help us all find the information we are looking for out of billions of web pages all over the world.
I guess it is more accurate to say that Google helps us find it about 64% of the time, and on the high end, Yahoo helps us find it just above 70% of the time.
The amazing thing for those that have eyes to see, the opportunity is in the gap. A gap that will be narrowed someday I am sure but will probably never be closed. What do I mean? In that window of 25% to 35% of the time when the information people are looking for is not to be found, is the gap that is waiting for some enterprising individual to fill. And all they have to do is write something. Is that someone going to be you?
The most interesting thing to me is that there are clues and maps leading whoever is looking right to those unfilled gaps. Those clues and maps are found in the key words of those searches that go unsatisfied. For example, if the key words *Travel to Forest Lake Minnesota* was searched for 300 times a month, and the major search engines show zero results for that key word phrase, then this is an opportunity for someone to create content for.
By doing that, they now have an audience of people that they know are interested in travel to that location. The question they should ask themselves is what does this group of people want or need, and then find a product, service, or affiliate program that fills that need, and they can start to market to that group. An example might be, a hotel and campground guide for that area.
So let this be the call to action for those that have ears to hear. Write; write your way into the opportunity created by the information age and an insatiable appetite for more information -- more specific information, more personalized information, an appetite which only grows each time it is momentarily satisfied. Because the more answers we get, the more questions we have.

Article Marketing - Get 2 to 5 Times the Visitors from an 800 Plus Word Article? Really Easy!
I like to read articles. I guess I am not the only one I say with a smile, since I guess that is the point of article directories. Sometimes I am very impressed by the depth and quality of an article. When I read one of these, I usually feel inspired to step up my game a little when writing my articles.
The problem with this is that as soon as I try to go a little deeper with one of my articles, they start to get longer and longer. This is bad for two reasons. Longer articles don't get read any more, if anything, they get read less. Second, I am getting less return on my investment of time.
Let me explain, if it takes me 30 to 45 min to write an article, that time is my investment for the number of visitors that I hope to inspire to come to my site. If I spend 1 hour or even more, and I get the same results, then that is not as good of an investment of my time.
You might say, well I like writing more in-depth articles and I don't care if I have to put a little more time into each one. The truth is you should like writing better and more in-depth content. This is how you will share your expertise with the world. The place for that content is on your website.
It is important to remember the role of each step of the process. And the role of the article is an appetizer. Not some cheap filler food, or a nibble, but a good healthy quality appetizer. But afterwards, you want the reader to be so impressed, that they want to go to your site and get the full meal.
So, how do you get the greatest return on your investment when an article does get a little long? Article sets. Turn your article into two or more articles. You can even turn them into parts if you need to add on a little more information. But, if you build multiple articles, you will get more visitors for the effort, and you will be giving your readers the size bites they have shown us they like to read.

Article Marketing Mastery - Come Let me Teach You Why Teaching Others is So Important
You hear it all the time. Write down your goals. If you write down your goals, something magical happens and they come true. I want to take that one step further. What if you make your goal writing? I learned one thing in the Marines that has stuck with me ever since.
I was selected for, and then studied and passed the certification process for *low power* and *high power* turn up licenses.
What this means, is I could jump in the cockpit of an F-4 Phantom Fighter Jet and with the *low power,* I could start and run the jet engines up to 80%. With the *high power,* I could run the jet engine to their top end which was when the after burners would kick in and 10 feet of flames would be shooting out of the back of the engine.
Yes, this was fun, but it was also a lot of responsibility for a kid who prior to going into the Marines had never held a job for more than 6 months. Here is the real point.
I thought I was pretty smart at that point, but about 6 months after I achieved this, and had used and put into practice this certification many times, I was assigned a new guy and was told to teach him how to do it. This is when I first learned how little I actually knew about what I was doing.
He kept asking me question after question about things I had never considered. At first, I thought it was funny, and then I realized that he was looking at it from a completely different perspective than I did. I needed to really understand it a lot better so I could explain it to him in a way that he could learn and understand it.
I swear, I learned more in the next 3 months training him than I had in the whole 2 years before. I know, I know, what does this have to do with article marketing? I am now ranked 15th of 642 other authors for the topic of article marketing in my favorite article directory. By the time you read this, I will be 14th.
I decided I wanted to know everything I could learn about article marketing. But I knew that if I wanted to really become an expert on the topic, I had to teach you about article marketing. I knew the best way to do that was to start to publish articles on the topic. Can you imagine how well you will know a topic after you write 40 articles about it? What about 100? I think you get the idea.

Article Marketing - Key Words? What Are They and How Do They Relate to Article Marketing? Part IV
In the previous articles you learned a lot about key words and how they are used as tools by people who are looking for information. Then we found out that just about everything on the internet is tracked. Because of this, we are able to learn more about what people are looking for and we can even see how many websites there are trying to supply information, products or services to the people that are looking.
Let's make up a scenario based on what we have learned and how it would be used in real life. This is just a fictitious example. Let's say I decided I wanted to promote an affiliate program for website hosting. I am just going to lay out for you what my train of thinking would be.
I do some key word research and I come up with 200 key words related to website hosting. After researching those words, I find 30 that aren't looked up the most, because all of the most searched words had too much competition. But I found 30 that are looked up regularly but don't have the huge numbers of suppliers with sites with those key words.
Now I do some research on those 30 words, and make sure I have plenty of good information and get a very strong understanding of the ins and outs of hosting. Then I write 3 articles for each key word, using the key word in the title of each article. I do this assuming that the hosting company that I have chosen to sign up as an affiliate for, has a very good product, and an excellent sales letter already provided for their affiliates (me).
Now here is the magic of article marketing. First, even if I knew a fair amount about my topic before, you can just imagine how much better I know the topic after I have written almost 100 articles. Second, I put a squeeze page in between my article readers and my hosting company.
How do I do this? I write a quick sales letter offering a free report on the ins and outs of choosing a web hosting company. This is easy, because I just wrote almost 100 articles. And now, I get the name and email address of everyone that clicks one of my links in my articles to get the free report before reading the sales letter of the hosting company.
Now you might be asking yourself, did I miss something? Is it really that easy? Why does this work? How do paying customers get to my affiliate link to buy web hosting? Next I will explain this to you from the customer's perspective because that is how you will see just how good it really does work.

Article Marketing - Key Words? What Are They And How Do They Relate To Article Marketing? Part V
Now you know what key words are and how they are used by people looking for information. You know that because of all the tracking and stats available on the Internet you can identify groups of people looking for specific information.
Then you learned that through writing key word content rich articles, you can get your name and offer in front of those potential customers. Or, maybe this is where you are a little fuzzy. That is why I am going to describe the process from the consumer's perspective.
In this scenario, my name is Bob and I want to see if I can make money on the Internet. I don't know much about the internet or how to do this, but I hear a lot of people are hitting it big and my boss is a real jerk.
I figure, that if I am going to do this, I am going to need a website. I know from my work place that a hosting company hosts our company web site. I also know that I don't want to spend a lot of money, so I decide to do a search for the key words, *cheap web hosting.*
On the first page I see a list of a bunch of paid ads, but in the regular listing, I see an article titled, *Cheap Web Hosting: Are you really saving money if you aren't getting what you need?" This article is about the 3rd or 4th in the list. I think, wow, that is a good question, so I click to read the article.
After I finish reading the article, I think wow that was kind of brief, but I have to admit I hadn't thought of that question before. Hey look, there is a link on the bottom that says for a full report on what to look for when selecting a hosting company click here.
I click here, and I see that this report is free. That's a no brainer, I want to make a good decision, and this report is right in my budget. So I sign up to get it, and after I click the confirmation link in the follow up email, I land on the sales page of a web hosting company and this looks like good info too. I think I will read this really quickly. Bang! You have found a way to help someone find what they are looking for.

Then you learned that through writing key word content rich articles, you can get your name and offer in front of those potential customers. Or, maybe this is where you are a little fuzzy. That is why I am going to describe the process from the consumer's perspective.
In this scenario, my name is Bob and I want to see if I can make money on the Internet. I don't know much about the internet or how to do this, but I hear a lot of people are hitting it big and my boss is a real jerk.
I figure, that if I am going to do this, I am going to need a website. I know from my work place that a hosting company hosts our company web site. I also know that I don't want to spend a lot of money, so I decide to do a search for the key words, *cheap web hosting.*
On the first page I see a list of a bunch of paid ads, but in the regular listing, I see an article titled, *Cheap Web Hosting: Are you really saving money if you aren't getting what you need?" This article is about the 3rd or 4th in the list. I think, wow, that is a good question, so I click to read the article.
After I finish reading the article, I think wow that was kind of brief, but I have to admit I hadn't thought of that question before. Hey look, there is a link on the bottom that says for a full report on what to look for when selecting a hosting company click here.
I click here, and I see that this report is free. That's a no brainer, I want to make a good decision, and this report is right in my budget. So I sign up to get it, and after I click the confirmation link in the follow up email, I land on the sales page of a web hosting company and this looks like good info too. I think I will read this really quickly. Bang! You have found a way to help someone find what they are looking for.
No tricks, no lies, no cheating, just good old fashion hard work, kind of... The good news as the author of that article, it's not the end of it. That article and almost 100 more are still out there, still working, and still trying to make you money over and over and over. God Bless America.

Article Marketing - Key Words? What Are They and How Do They Relate to Article Marketing? Part I
All you have to do is write key word rich article content right? Sound so simple until you try to do it for the first time. That is not even taking into consideration where you might find these things anyway (key words that is). Not much chance you are going to know where to get something when you don't even really know what they are.
So what is a key word anyway? I am glad you asked. It is a word that is the key to narrowing the search for the specific data you are looking for. Let me try to explain. When you look at any topic, you find that there are certain words that are commonly grouped together, these are the words that are well know to people with expertise on this particular topic.
Let's say we had 5 articles in front of us, one on soccer, one on baseball, one on hockey, one on cooking, and the last one on computer repair.
Now what if I had all of these articles open in a way that I could do a word search through all the articles at the same time? In this case, I cannot see the titles, or if they are grouped in any way. And, I don't want to read every article to find what I am looking for. So what can I do?
Well, what you can do is think about a few words that are used under the topic of the one article I am looking for, and that would not be used by any of the others. Let's say computer repair for example. What are two words that are used in computer repair that are not used in the other topics?
How about the words *Windows Operating System*? If I do a word search for these words, the likelihood of me pulling up one of the articles on one of the sports topics is very low. This is called a key word search. It saves me from having to read all of the articles. I only have to go through the one that has the specific key words in it of *Windows Operating System.*
Now all you have to do is multiply this by billions of documents and millions of readers each with their own interests, and you have described the job of the search engines on the Internet. Did you know search engines keep track of what words people use to find information in the internet? Did you know that by looking at the number of times a certain key word is used for a search, you can measure the demand for that information?
Now you know what key words are, and with a little knowledge comes more questions. Come sign up for my ezine and learn more.

Article Marketing - Key Words? What Are They and How Do They Relate to Article Marketing? Part II
In the last article you learned what key words are and how you can find specific information about a topic on the Internet so you don't have to read through hundreds, even thousands of articles just to find what you are looking for. For a person searching for information who wants to save time and effort, key words are valuable tools.
Now we get to the next question, what does this have to do with article writing? This is still a little too multifaceted to answer in an article, so I am going to try and share another piece of the puzzle with you letting you know up front that these are topics you need to learn in layers in the beginning.
Let's start with one of the questions that we asked at the end of part one and that is, *Did you know that search engines keep track of what words people use to find information on the Internet?* Then I gave you a clue to that question by asking, *Did you know that by looking at the number of times a certain set of key words is used by people performing the searches you can measure the demand for that information?*
Let me give an example. If you have 25,000 people do a search for the key words *computer repair*, I think that it is pretty safe to say that lots of people on the Internet are interested in learning something about getting problems solved with their computers. Now they may be looking for information, they may be looking for an expert to ask questions, or they might be looking for places they can get their computers fixed.
Now you have to ask yourself from a business owners perspective, how does knowing that 25,000 searches were done for the key words, *computer repair*, help me, or why would this matter to me? Well, if you happen to be in the computer business and you were looking for a way to find more people with computer problems that you could resolve, you may have found them.
Now you have to start to ask questions like, how do I get the name of my company in front of these people? If you were really ahead of the game, you might even ask, *I wonder how many other people are trying to get access to these 25,000 people?*
Now you understand two sides of key words, one how you can use them to sort through information on the Internet, and how you can determine demand for information on the Internet.
