Increase Your Traffic By Writing Articles
By Brian Harrison
If you want to increase you website traffic quickly there is only a few ways to it. One of the ways is by Writing good quality articles that people would want to read.
It is not easy to increase your website traffic without cutting corners and this is something you should never do. There are a few things that can increase you traffic that are legal as long as you have the time and skill to be able to write interesting articles.
So you”ve built your wonderful new website and submitted it to the search engines and directories. In your eyes you are so proud of all your hard work that Google and all the search engines will just fall over themselves to add you to the top page.
So you wait…and you wait…and nothing happens. It takes a very long time for a newly developed website to get any form of listing in search engines and directories and even longer to get any meaningful listing. So, what’’s the solution to speeding up the process?
The best way you can increase traffic to your website for a short period of time is to write and submit newsletter articles. The beauty of this method is that anyone can do it all you need is a good idea, the ability to write accurately and some spare time. I”m not talking here about working for a magazine or website but the wonderful world of free articles. If you are short on cash and can”t afford to promote your business then this technique is especially suited to you.
There are many websites that require constant content on a daily basis and most Newsletter editors are always looking for well written content. This is more so if their newsletter or blog is updated daily or weekly. As you can imagine it would be very difficult to maintain that level of content and prohibitively expensive and so they turn to free articles to ensure their website is relevant and interesting to their visitors.
As with most things on the internet if a gap appears it’’s very quickly filled and so we have the wonderful world of free articles. The deal is that in exchange for allowing the authors content to be published for free, the author of the article is allowed to place a link or advert at the bottom of the article without any charge.
Just imagine that for a minute, if your article is interesting enough and good enough it could be included in hundreds of websites in a matter of days and what does that mean, one way in-links. This of course is great for your pr ranking and will no doubt increase your traffic for as long as the article is placed high on the publishers website pages. The thing to remember is that you are not giving the article away just given away the rights to use the article on other peoples websites…you still own the article.
These links or adverts are usually placed just below the article and are called “resource boxes”. The resource box is your chance to sell yourself or your website or both. It usually contains information about the author and a link to his website.
It’’s important that you take some time over the content of the resource box because if it is well written then more people will be tempted to click through to your main website and let’’s face that’’s the main reason you”re given this information away in the first place. Don”t add a affiliate link or straight link to another persons site as most publishers are wise to this and would not add your article.
Once you have written your article you now need to find the write publishers and newsletters that will take your work of art. This can be a long and boring job but it is a very important one. I would suggest you find at least 20-30 newsletters of a decent size and don”t give up until you have done so.
The main reason why taking a little time over this part of the process is simple It does not take much longer to submit your article to 500 sites that only main difference is the amount of traffic you will receive.
It’’s hard to say how much this type of approach will increase your traffic because it’’s very dependent on how well your article is written and how well you market it. In the best case scenario your article could be accepted at several larger ezines that have 150,000+ subscribers each and could result in 1000+ visitors to your website.
On the other hand you could end up with nobody publishing your article and not single hit. My personal opinion and experience is that a reasonably well thought out and written article usually produces around 500+ unique visitors per article.
There is another way you can get help with the tiresome job of finding publishers and newsletters and that is to pay one of the many companies out there to submit your article for you. I have used several of these companies and the quality and cost of their work can vary enormously. Some of these companies charge per submission ad some charge a flat monthly fee. The most important thing is that you are getting your article to enough quality publishers.
