Website Traffic Generation – Article Marketing
This traffic generation method has proven to work for many years and it’s still going strong. When you have good helpful articles written, someone out there will have your article reprinted on their websites and get visitors to your site from places you can never imagine.
The procedure of article marketing is simple:
- Write an article targeting at least one or two targeted keywords. Use the keyword in your title and often in the body.
- Your articles need to be about 350-500 words.
- Include an ‘author bio box’ at the bottom of your article with a link back to your website. So when someone reprints your article, your bio box will be there with it.
- Post it to article directories that rank high on search engines.
Your articles can be about:
- Product review. Write about the product that you’ve used and give the pros and cons. Of course, the product should be the one that you are trying to promote.
- Article based on a list of links that you found to be useful.
- Lists of traffic generation methods.
- “Top Ten Marketing Tools”.
- List of mistakes marketers made.
- “How To” articles that help to solve problems.
The list could go on. The best articles will be the one that present the solution to a problem.
After you have written an article, consider using a tool that ‘spins’ your article to various version so that each article directory that you submit have the different kind of articles.
Google doesn’t like duplicate content and submitting the same version of article will do a little help to bring traffic to your website. But with many different version using the same keyword, more of your articles can get pick up by search engines when someone search for your information.
Here’s the link where you can spin your articles:
Here are some of the best article directories that I found:

Hope this helps.
Good luck.
