Religion is opinion Advertising should be based on facts. Religion must continue in the realm of Opinion, because no one can decide which Creed is right;, and which wrong, till he dies and finds out the facts for himself. And no mere man who died has ever come back to Earth to settle the dispute. But, it is different with Advertising, as it is with Mechanics or with Medicine, all three of which can be conclusively tested.

Too many CEO’s seem satisfied to spend their money on mere opinions about advertising when they might have invested it on facts about advertising. Perhaps the salesperson was attractive you they got some good sports tickets. These are the Advertisers whose company must fail before they can be convinced that Branding is not enough and that customers have to be given a reason to buy.

They blindly gamble in Advertising when they might have safely invested in it. If they were to buy any other kind of Service, except Advertising, they would demand tangible proof of its efficacy before they spent money on it. If they hired a Salesman, for instance, they would expect him to prove he was earning his salary by making a satisfactory Record on Sales. They would not accept, for long, statements from him that he was? Making a General impression on the Trade? for his salary. Nor would they be satisfied with the statement that he was branding profitably enough to compensate for lack of sales.

Because, true ads are “Salesmanship-on-paper” after all. When it is anything less than salesmanship it is not real Advertising, but only “Branding.” And, “Branding” admittedly claims only to “increase favorable name recognition,” to produce a ” impression on the Trade,” and to “Influence Sales” for the salespeople.

Poor advertising gives the same bad excuses a Salesman who failed to earn his keep in actually selling products or services. Branding, or any other advertising, should be judged by the same standards as the Salesman; by the goods it is clearly proven to sell divided by the amount invested.

Does Your Advertising Incease Sales?

Advertising is and should be “Salesmanship-on-paper.” If it is anything less than Salesmanship it is not real Advertising, but only “name recognition.” And, “General Publicity” admittedly claims only to “Brand,” to make sales easier for the salespeople.

Bad Advertising makes the same lame excuses as a Salesman who failed to earn his salary in actually selling goods. But General Publicity, or any other Advertising, should be judged by the same standards as the Salesman is judged, viz., by the goods it is clearly proven to sell at a given cost per dollar invested in it.

Popular web sites are the best because it should give your article a good deal of exposure, within a comparatively short time you should start to experience more traffic at your site.

This is why it is so important to show people that you know what you are talking about so they trust the material you provide in the area you write about. In time your website’s ranking with Google and other search engines will increase from the number of incoming links you have, by default this will increase the number of organic visitors you receive that have searched for something your site has information on.

If there are a lot of sites which link with your website then it steps up your sites ranking which in turn boosts up your traffic. This is of course completely free publicising and can be done over and over again.

Article marketing not only allows links in the body text of the article but in the resource box at the foot of the page.

If you want visitors to your websites then you must continue your article marketing this way, do not think for one minute that this is will be a success if it is only done the once! The aim is to have other website owners link their site to yours in addition to using your content as well, Don’t forget, your article will contain information that people are searching for. You cannot dismiss just how effective article marketing is at getting people to your site for free, All you have to do is ensure your content is ‘on topic’ and unique to have constant visitors.
