How do I get the most links out of one QUALITY article/post??

[Buzzwords]

Basically we are a small business (2 employees) we don't have the time or resources to be writing hundreds of original quality articles each week (nor do we have the time to write endless guest blogs each week) how do we gain links from one article? (not including poor quality article submission sites) And how do SEO's write so many guest blogs? for the returns on time invested!!! Confused Newbie, thanks in advance!!!

We don't have the time or resources to be writing hundreds of original quality articles each week

I hear you....   But if you want the rankings you must fight for them.  We have a three person biz.... One takes care of customers and the other two spend almost 100% of their time working on websites and creating content.

We are not making 100's of articles per week... maybe just one or two.

The problem with the word "quality" is that most people mistake crap for quality.  They spend an hour on an article, call it "quality",  toss it onto the site, then complain that nobody links to it.    If you want your content to attract attention it has to be better than "pedestrian"... you need to make "best on the web".

Hi Nicholas,

Have you looked into hiring a copywriter?

There are plenty of freelancers out there and all you would need to do is come up with the article ideas and brief them into the writer.  You should look at some freelance writer sites such as:

https://www.odesk.com/

http://www.studentgems.com/
https://www.elance.com

http://www.peopleperhour.com/

This way you can get great content (depending onb quality of writer you hire). The cost  of this is dependant on who you hire and what your budget is.

I hope that helps somewhat.

This is the problem, we are a copywriting company by nature, and we know the content we produce is "quality" we spend on average 2 days writing one article. Where do we present these "quality" articles? Submitting articles to Ezine and article submission sites seems like we're throwing our great content into a black hole! How are we supposed to get an audience for this content? Are we missing a trick?

They generally don't produce good quality content though...

All of the content that we produce is placed on our own websites.  We never give it away or sell it.  When we publish a new piece of content it is often submitted by our visitors to reddit, stumbleupon, digg or slashdot.  We have AddThis sharing buttons obviously placed on every pages of our site to make sharing easy for our visitors.   If you have good content they will do that for you.   We also ask our visitors to subscribe to our new content by RSS feed and email.  We use feedburner for this.

This method takes patience.  If you keep publishing good content the size of your site will grow, the number of SERPs that you appear in will grow, the number of subscribers will increase, the number of visitors will rise.  If you have great content in a niche that people care about that will happen.  If that isn't happening then you must ask yourself if anybody cares about your content.  If not then you need a different business model.

I agree.  There are some good people on those sites but most of them have been trained to write $2 articles.  Creating something that is "best on the web" is not what they are used to doing.

The other solution is to start your own personal search and you can find good quality writers.

It then depends on you having your own set of guidelines and requirements that they must adhere too.

amount to a copywriter.
