How Many Websites Can One Article Promote?

Can you promote more than one website with each article you write? You can, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Your articles need to be focused. You are allowed up to three links in the author resource box of your articles at most directories. Some directories only allow two links, but that’s OK. You only need to promote one website. If you promote more than one website with any one article then you will likely get fewer click throughs.

When I create an author resource box I include two links to the same web page in two different ways:

By using both the URL as a hyperlink and a key phrase that I want to target I ensure that my website is known when a publisher uses my article on his or her website or in her e-zine. Some publishers do not activate the links. If they do then I get relevant anchor text in a back link. If they don’t then my URL is still visible to readers of the article. Not as effective, but at least the reader knows who wrote the article and how to find me.

The only exception to the one website rule is when I want to promote my website and my related blog. Sometimes, for marketing purposes, it is prudent to put your blog on a separate domain name. In that case I’ll promote both the blog and the website, but that is a special situation. Otherwise, it’s one website, Baby.
