Article marketing is one of the most popular methods internet marketers use to generate traffic to their blogs.

Sadly, many article writers are doing it wrong as they focus on the task and not the end result…

Optin App is one of the most powerful and popular internet marketing application to be  released this year. It’s aim is to help you build a responsive list quickly.

I had the pleasure to interview Todd Gross, one of the owners, which you can watch here:

Watch the interview >>> optin app interview <<<

Todd Gross and  Derrick Van Dyke, the owners of this powerful application, released the beta version of Optin App back in April 2011.

The response to the application was not what they expected.

They thought Optin App would do well, but they didn’t expect it to sell over 3,000 copies in a few weeks and make over $80,000 in sales.

And this was via a forum only!

Optin App – Secret to its success?

In the online world, a lot of people want PLR articles because they can put their name on it, slap it on a website or ebook and get targeted traffic or sales.

The problem is find PLR articles that don’t contain waffle, good writing, no spelling or grammar mistakes and has good information.

One of the best ways to drive traffic easily is by commenting on other people’s blogs. It doesn’t cost you anything to do this and it makes the owner of the blog notice you.

2. Disagree with the poster

3. Add more valuable information to the blog post
