Can't get traffic to your website? Use these free article marketing strategies to become number one on the search engines for your niche!
This time around I'll be writing about a few strategies you can have access to for free in your quest to make the most from article marketing and increase your website traffic. I work with article marketing and it begets continuous visits to my website,
so my opinion is that it's a very good strategy for a long term traffic guarantee.
How come article marketing is so efficient?
Because submitting your content to article directories will get you permanent backlinks to your site right away! Your content will reach people, and if your writing convinces them, they will come visit your page to find more. And some of the websites that publish your articles usually rank high in search engines and if you do your article the way you are supposed to, you have great chances of getting your website seen.
OK then, what strategies should I use for article marketing?
The essential is not to write an article just for the sake of filling up some space on your website. Your goal is to be noticed, and you can only achieve that by choosing particular topics that people are interested in and sharing valuable knowledge about them.
Prepare for writing by first selecting your subject and keywords wisely and carefully!
Most internet marketers write some content, put some tags in there and just throw the article out there hoping for the best.
And then…
Well, they don't get a lot of reward from their work.
Why?
Because you can't make an article on the topic "network marketing" and hope to get to the first page of Google. A search on this term returns over 140 million results! To get there, your website has to have a high page rank and you must write some great quality content!
To prepare like a professional, first find a suitable topic for your article, search for the best keywords and pick the phrases you want to target accordingly. And then, and only then, write the article!
As a beginner, the best way is to target keywords and especially keyword phrases that get searched by under 300 people daily. Then you will stand a better chance for your content to reach a wider audience.
As an example, you can think about writing on "network marketing tips" or "network marketing secrets" because they get searched by less than 150 people daily. But being a smaller market, you can make it to the first page of the search engines way easier.
How do I come up with keywords?
That's where the Google Keyword Tool comes in! It is a free tool, just write that on Google and you'll find it.
Select your keywords carefully and think about what you want to accomplish with that article! Is your message compelling enough? Is it mobilizing your readers? You need to ask yourself those questions and only if their answers are affirmative can you expect your content to beget traffic for your website.
Usually, article marketing sites include a resource box where you can add a link or two to beckon the readers to the original location of the article. Use this tool to the fullest by trying to see things from the readers' point of view.
What do they want? What would you, as a reader, find compelling enough to make you click the link for further information?
If you see to it that your every article from here on in adheres to these standards, you should soon witness your sites climb high in the page ranks.
