Increase the Traffic to your Website with Articles

Writing articles can be a dependable way to get some free visitors for your blog or website. I have been using this method the past two weeks and plan to continue using it because it is a proven way to get traffic when you short on cash to pay for immediate advertising.

You can check out popular keywords using the Overture Keyword Selector Tool so you can check if the topic you are about to write on would be popular or not. If you come across a keyword you want to write on, make sure that your article is written well with a lot of references to that particular word or phrase.

The more content your write and the more articles you put out there the better. Providing people with information they need will make your website much more valuable and therefore more popular to the search engines.

I believe that article marketing is the most effective form of advertising out there. First of all, it is completely free. There is no need for an advertising budget, all you need is time and effort to get your name and website out there to the world.

When you include a link to your website in the resource box or about the author section of your article submissions, they will get immediately noticed by search engines such as google. This will cause the search engines to crawl your site and within a few days your website will appear listed in google, yahoo and the other big search engines.

Writing articles with a link to your website also provides you with very important back links. The more links that point back to your website, the higher your rankings are with google. I am pretty sure this is true of the other large search engines as well.

Last of all, advertising through informative articles is a really good way to build your online reputation. When people realize that you truly know what you are talking about, they are more likely to listen to what you have to say and will hopefully come back to your website again in the future to learn more.

Just make sure that every article you write is unique. It is not only illegal, but a waste to simply take someone else"s work and claim it as your own.

Here is a list of the Article Directories I currently use to market my articles. I haven"t written very many of them so far, but I am working hard to get more of them out there.
