Each week, I’m sharing a new article marketing success story to motivate and inspire you to start writing articles now. Previously, I told you how one of my customers gained a 90,000 euro contract and another one of my clients received a new $25,000 client just by marketing their businesses with articles.

Today,  I received this email from another customer of mine…

“Hi Eric:

First, allow me to thank you for all the great work you do!  I have passed on your information to clients and friends and they also sincerely appreciate your guidance, ideas, and tangible “to do’s.”

Now – here’s my article success story AND a great lesson …

In 2003 – I wrote an article about internet marketing entitled “Acres of Diamonds – What Prosperity Might You Be Overlooking? — and sent it to learningfountain.com. The article has remained #1 on google since then — in front of more 20,000 responses when you type in my name  “montana gray”

Here’s the bad news and a great lesson.  I did not keep the website I had back then, so I am getting no traffic from that #1 placement – unless someone tries to find me another way.”

However, it is POWERFUL proof that article marketing works.  One article, 7 years!  Still #1….NOT BAD!

So thanks Eric — thought you’d enjoy this – keep up the great work!”

Well, Montana — I have a couple more tips for you:

1. As you go through my online article writing course you’ll discover that you need to put your keywords up front so you can get more people to see your article.  No one is searching for “Acres of Diamonds.” You also will learn that you need to get specific within your article. “Acres of Diamonds” do not tell me what I will learn — and why I should read your article over the millions of article now found on the web.

2. Now, imagine if you had many more articles on the Web working for you bringing you in traffic — all ranking on the top pages of Google — and this time the link is pointed to an active squeeze page where you have a high value offer. Remember, your articles are sales agents working to promote your business, your website and your products or services 24 hours a day/365 days a year and they never quit! As you mentioned, 7 years and you’re article is still rankin #1 for your name out of 20,000 results!
