October 24, 2009 · Filed Under SEO 

If you’re like me you started your online business not having a clue about the benefits of article marketing I had no idea how to get traffic to my website. After building the site, I went ahead and put it up on the Internet waiting for the flood of Buyers to come in. What I found was that nobody came to my grand opening. At that time, I had never heard about article submission sites or article marketing. It was a quiet day when we set up our website and found there to be zero traffic waiting to beat down our doors. It was then a friend told me about article marketing and said I needed to read some article submission site reviews and learn about article marketing. We had no idea what we were doing, but we had a product and service to sell. To be successful, we were going to have to find a way to get eyeballs in front of our Website, and lots of them.

I’m sure that we were not alone in our immaturity as new online business people looking to make money online. The fact is you need traffic to your website or blog no matter what it is you’re trying to promote. You need to find ways to promote your Website, so start by doing a keyword search with the phrases "article marketing" and "traffic generation". The information you find will get you off to a good start driving traffic to your new site.

Promoting yourself cheaply and effectively can be done by article marketing. It takes little time to put together an article if you are inexperienced but here are some tips to write good articles in a short amount of time.

First, you will need to do a little search of the product or service you’re trying to promote. Go to forums or ezine articles and research a few articles on your topic. Find an article with a good title and start reading. If you like what you are reading, then, spend some time and jot down a few of the key points in that article.

The title of your article is important. Make sure the title of your articles include keywords relating to your product or service. Using the points from the article, go ahead and begin writing in your own words about the product or service you want to put in your article. You know what it is that you are selling, so go ahead and be a little creative making sure to use the key words that will help when people are searching for that on the internet.

Once the article is written, you’ll want to submit it to article directories that will redistribute it to hundreds, and sometimes thousands of websites. Here are a few good ones to start with. They are articledashboard.com, goarticles.com, ezinearticles.com, articlesbase.com. Some article marketers use distribusion services that send out their articles to thousands of websites and directoreis. This will maximize your article marketing efforts and bring you results in quick order.

Another benefit or article marketing you’ll learn about is search engine optimization. Articles that have links back to your website will boost your rankings, thus bringing in more and more traffic as they climb up the search engine rankings. Use keywords in your title and use phrases that will catch people’s attention. This will help lure potential customers to your website.

Give it a try, you have nothing to lose and a lot of traffic to gain!
