Article Submissions to Bring in Internet Marketing Traffic
One of the commonest – and also the
most conventional – methods of building traffic on your websites is through
article marketing. There are Internet marketers who do not use any other method
except article submissions to bring in traffic on their websites. Article
marketing can be free if you wanted and the best part is that it brings in
targeted traffic, i.e. it brings in people who already have an interest in what
you are dealing with.
What is Article Marketing?
The simple definition of article
marketing is writing and submitting articles on online directories with a view
to bring in targeted traffic. These articles have a bio box below them, where
the author can write a short description about themselves and their businesses
and even hive the link, which can bring in the targeted traffic to your
website.
The articles that are submitted are
search engine optimized with keywords. Authors of submission articles use
keywords from tools such as WordTracker (http://www.wordtracker.com/) or Google Suggest (http://suggest.google.com/) in order to find
keywords that people are popularly searching and incorporate them in their
articles. Because of these keywords, the articles have a better chance of
showing up on the search engine results when someone searches with that
keyword. This is how you get your traffic through them.
Now, why will anyone search with
that keyword? The simple answer is – because they want some information on that
topic. And hence, there is a great possibility that they will view the article.
Now, if they like that article, they will want to read more to get more
information. This is when they will click on the website link. Since these
people already have an interest in the topic, there is high possibility that
they will help in the conversion.
Using Articles to Bring in Hot
Traffic
It is not wrong to say that you
already have it made when you are into article submissions. You can be sure
that people who like your articles will visit your website and will be very
likely to do business with you too. But, you should know where to put these
articles up.
What we are talking about here are
the directories. These are the places where you submit your articles. There are
many free article submission directories on the Internet which take articles on
a wide range of subjects. The directories follow their own tricks for search
engine optimization too, which will be over and above the keyword optimization
you use.
The following is a list of article
submission directories that you should know:-
Ezine Articles (http://www.ezinearticles.com/) – one of the most
popular article marketing directories, though its rules of submission are very
strict.
In addition, there are various
places where you can submit articles and make money apart from promoting your
business. The following are some such places. Just note that you will have to
go through an approval process before you become a writer on these websites
because you are likely getting paid for whatever you submit here.
If you have several articles up on
these places, you can be sure that you get a steady flow of visitors on your
site. But, make sure that the articles you submit are of good quality,
language-wise as well as according to the information that they contain.
