Multimedia Platforms to Entice Visitors to Click on Your Links
In the past, the text medium was the only way utilized to increase
a marketer’s customer base. This evolved from placing advertisements on other
sites to the more popular text links used in article marketing.
Placing the Text Links
By
placing text links on articles found within other websites that have similar
content as the advertiser, site owners see an increase to the hits of their web
pages. The advertiser’s links are placed as keywords within the other site’s
article and those keywords became links pointing to the advertiser’s web pages.
This
was - and still is - an effective way to increase traffic from the other site,
but it could also increase the rankings on the search engine pages using good
keywords. As long as the two connecting sites were related to each other, they
raised their chance of obtaining high rankings in the search results.
This
medium, unfortunately, has its drawbacks as well. Although they are effective,
they can also hurt your chances in the search engine rankings if the search
engines don’t feel the connecting links are relevant to each other.
You
run the risk of shelling out quite a bit of money to use the text links within
other sites if you’re buying your position, only to be considered a possible
spammer in the search engine indexing.
Even
with this risk, people still continue to utilize this medium as the extra added
effort in their marketing campaign for their website. Most feel the benefits
outweigh the drawbacks when they’re planning their marketing strategy.

text medium delivers good results for any marketer, but there are other ways to
reach your target market. You want to gain more directed traffic and make your
