The plan is to create 12 content-rich (keyword-rich) articles about the two product groups featured on these two sites: Vinyl Banners and Trade Show Displays. Each of these articles will contain at least one link pointing to the home page of these two sites, and a bunch of other links pointing to various pages within the sites. I will then post these articles on at least 10 article directory / archive sites such as IdeaMarketers.com, GoArticles.com, etc. 12 articles times 10 sites is 120 links.

Yesterday I finished writing the last of the 12 articles and have now posted them all to the first article site, IdeaMarketers.com. Here are the links:

Writing Articles is Not Easy
As I point out in e_Marketing, articles don't just fall in your lap. You actually have to think of something interesting to say, write the article in an interesting, readable way, optimize it correctly with the appropriate key words, and then build in the links. And... oh yes, you have to actually post them on a bunch of different websites.
This all takes time, effort, and creative thought. Especially when the subject matter is something as relatively boring as "vinyl banners".
One of the interesting outcomes of this process is that it gave me the opportunity to RETHINK our product line and actually develop SOME NEW IDEAS! As I have said a few times in various articles, marketable product ideas are the "holy grail" for marketers. Without viable products you have to thrash around trying to figure out what (business) life is all about. But once you've got the products, life more or less takes care of itself. Everything falls into place.
Viable Product Ideas are Rare
It is not easy. A viable "product idea" is much more than an idea. It is an idea that will WORK. In this case, it must be something that we can actually produce at a reasonable price without too much waste and other inefficiencies. And, of course, something that people will BUY.
| So the development of a new product idea that actually might work is a RARE OCCURRENCE.
I think I've just hit on one. It's called BIG VINYL BANNERS. We'll see. I'll be sure to keep you posted. -- Rick P.S. If you're asking "Why Vinyl Banners?"... it's because... |  |
