ARTICLE MARKETING ANSWERS
What Is Article Marketing via Linknami?
Article Marketing allows you to distribute your content your articles to relevant niche blogs, article pages
on themed websites or any page of a website.
How does Article Marketing help me to promote my website or blog?
There are several reasons, first you will get increased traffic and authority to your website from the
article submission itself, the more places your article/s are on the web, the more likely you're going to get
a visitor viewing that article, and coming through to your site.
Through article marketing, you will also get additional contextual one way links to your website which helps
your site in gaining trust and authority in search engines.
Your pages will be indexed faster in the search engines, if you have a new site that hasn't yet been indexed
by Google, Yahoo or MSN, article marketing provides a medium for those search engines to find you.
Why Is Linknami different from other article submission services and article networks?
Linknami is different for a variety of reasons. First the cost, other article networks charge between US$ 49
to US$ 149 for similar services, while our membership starts free for limited submissions and currently does
not exceed US$ 29.
Then there is the quality, other article submission services send one article to hundreds of article
directories, which is uneffective as only 1 article is recognized by search engines. At Linknami, you can
create dozen of different high-quality variations from your article so that each of your published articles
in blogs, article pages and websites are unique.
Other article networks publish your articles on hundreds or even thousands of MFA (Made for Adsense) Blogs
and Websites whose only purpose it is to create income via ads and affiliate links but provide little or no
value to the internet community, at Linknami you can post your articles to real, legitimate websites and
blogs in over 1500 categories (while we do not exclude MFA Blogs or Sites from participating in our network,
the large majority are regular, individual websites).
This is also a reason why other article networks do not disclose the websites or blogs where they will
publish your articles and never disclose the pages where your articles are published and say that users can
only find pages via google search. At Linknami, you have FULL CONTROL at any point in time on where you will
publish your articles, where your articles are published and you can even remove articles from sites if
needed.
Where do I get the articles to post on Linknami?
There are essentially three places you can go to get content:
You can either write articles by yourself, when you're just starting out, it's probably the best option to
save costs.
You can also use a PLR Article service.
Use a service like writerlance.com or getafreelancer.com, for a fee (usually $10-12 per article) you can have
articles written for you and totally outsourced.
Will this type of article marketing get me banned by Google?
No. Linknami is specifically designed to comply with Google Webmaster Guidelines and focuses on relevancy and
your website visitors browsing experience.
Linknami is not an automated service which posts your links to thousands of sites at once. At any time, you
have full editorial control on where your articles are published and which articles you publish on your site
which obviously requires much more work on your part, therefor it is as google-friendly as it possibly
gets.
Can I get a list of the sites where my article has been published?
Absolutely Yes. At any time, you have full editorial control on where your articles are published and which
articles you publish on your site.
How many links can I have in an article?
You can add up to two hyperlinks anywhere in the article.
Must those links point to one of my sites that I've connected to the network?
Absolutely not. The links in an article can point to any site of your choice. If you want to link to the
white house, go ahead ;)
Am I allowed to insert affiliate links in my articles?
Yes, absolutely. You have two links to work with, and both can be affiliate links if that's what you want to
do.
Why don't you put restrictions on where a link can point?
We want people to be able to link to any content on the web. If you want to include links in an article to
one of your Squidoo lenses, you can do that. To one of your Digg submissions, you can do that. Flexibility is
the name of the game.
Do you publish my article on article directories, such as EzineArticles and Article Dashboard?
No, we don't. We only publish articles on sites that owners voluntarily connect to our network. We will never
scrape a site or do anything shady to publish articles on it. We only publish your articles on Linknami
article pages or users can add articles manually to their blog or any page of their website and only when the
site owner has opted in to receive content from the system.
What can site owners do with my article?
Site owners are not allowed to change or remove your links in any way or form, and they are not allowed to
republish your article somewhere else as their own work. They are allowed to add their own links to the
article, and they are allowed to insert ads into the article. They are also allowed to correct mistakes in
the article, and they are allowed to completely delete the article from their site. Not many site owners will
delete articles, because they added their blogs to the network specifically to get fresh content for those
blogs.
Why should I create different variations of my article?
If you don't create and publish different variations of your article, then there will be a few hundred exact
copies of the article on the web. That helps you very little in terms of backlink value. When you use the
free article spinner to create different varations of your article, the system creates dozens of unique
article variations which you can publish on the network. Hence, your backlink value is increased by orders of
magnitude.
Should I rewrite every sentence of my article?
Not necessarily, however to keep the article unique it will be sufficient to create a spin in at least every
second or third sentence.
Can I see all the different spun versions of my article?
Yes, you can select to download all article variations in a zip file and re-check it on your PC, you can also
save the articles and edit any article later individually.
Must I have an author box in my article?
No, we recommend that you don't include an author box. When you write an article, think of it as writing a
post for your blog. Except, your post is published on other people's blogs. Embed your links in the text of
your article like you would do on any other blog post.
Does your system add anything to my article when it is published?
No, your article is published exactly as you submitted it. We never add anything and we never remove anything
either.
How many sites and articles can I add to the network?
You can add unlimited websites and unlimited articles to the network. There is no limit.
Can I add sites that are on subdomains or in subfolders?
Yes, you can add any website, subdomain or subfolder URL.
Do I need to upload and install any software on my site?
If you choose to use our article page module which creates an article management system on your website, then
you only need to upload a small php or asp file to your website and link to it from your index document. You
can publish other users articles there and your own articles, content and news if you want.
If you do not want, or can not run php or asp scripts on your server maybe because you are on a hosted
server, then Linknami will still work very well for you. You can publish articles manually in your blog or on
any page of your website.
Can I submit Private Label Rights (PLR) articles?
Check the exact terms of your PLR licence but almost certainly the answer is yes.
Our article spinner can make significant alterations to the original article. As such, the altered article is
normally considered original content, and so you would normally have full rights to do what you wish with
these altered articles. This makes our article sponner a perfect way to get maximum benefit from those types
of articles.
Will I lose the copyright to my articles?
No. You retain the copyright. However, in submitting articles through Linknami you ARE agreeing to them being
released under the Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License which gives people
permission to reprint your articles provided they don't modify them and do include your resource box
including live links (without 'nofollow' tags).
This license, we believe, allows for the maximum distribution of your article without giving it up to the
public domain.
What are the rules in terms of the articles that I receive on my site?
You are not allowed to modify or remove the hyperlinks in the article in any way whatsoever. You're also not
allowed to copy and post the same article somewhere else as your own work. You're welcome to correct grammar
or spelling errors. You're also welcome to insert additional links of your own, including using a plugin that
automatically converts certain keyphrases to hyperlinks with your affiliate links. You can insert ads or
images into the text. In fact, apart from the two rules above (changing or removing hyperlinks and copying
the article), you're free to do what you want. It's your blog.
Will your system create a footprint on my site?
No, it won't. Since articles can be of any length above the required minimum word count, doesn't (or rather
shouldn't) contain author boxes, and we don't add anything to the article, once published on your site it
looks like something you have written and published yourself by clicking the publish button in your site's
admin panel.
I already have various article submission tools (eg My Article Submitter and Directory Submitter) and
have used Isnare, ArticleMarketer etc. How does Linknami compare to those?
All these tools are great as far as they go. But they all suffer from some significant limitations:
1. They submit duplicate content everywhere.
2. They limit how many domains and/or author's names they allow you to promote
3. They do not allow you to add hyperlinks within the article body (contextual-links)
4. They submit to only a limited number of articles directories.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your free or paid memberships at any time, however please understand you must cancel in
writing via our contact form (you must provide the username you signed up with). Cancellation in writing is
for the security of all parties.
