Create articles based upon what is currently popular and something that you already know about. Knowing about the subject or having a passion for a certain subject can greatly improve your results.

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

 Here are some popular social bookmarking sites that are very good at helping your increase your rankings. Using bookmark websites helps in building backlinks to your website or blog.

I have had many people ask me about wordpress 2.7 and WordPress Secured being released with the new version of wordpress. As I have explained to those that email and pm me I will post here.

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…

Several plugins from WordPress Secured v2 has had updates, I have taken those updates and corrected them to work properly under WPS v2 (wordpress 2.6.5). The download for these updates are below, if you are using these plugins with WordPress Secured then feel free to download the updates.

Add-To-Any - Download Update

Google-Sitemap-Generator - Download Update

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

Simple WordPress Starters Guide
(Assuming your blog is installed at your main domain)

* 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.

Hello Everyone,

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
