Article marketing works fantastic for increasing the traffic coming to your website. For anyone who isn’t familiar with it, it’s the process of writing articles about the topic of your website and submitting them to “article directories” on the internet.
As you know, having fresh content on your website and blog is key when it comes to getting search engine traffic. Many website owners and bloggers visit article reprint directories on a daily basis, in search of articles to use on their sites.
By submitting your article to these directories, you’re giving permission for other website owners to use it on their website, on the condition that include a resource box that you supply along with the article.
This resource box is basically an “about the author” section where you can include information about your website, as well as links back to it.
When someone posts your article on their site, they also post this about the author section and everyone who reads the article on their website sees it. Your article can ultimately end up on hundreds of websites, with thousands of visitors reading it and clicking the links through to your own site.
There are plenty of article directories to choose from on the web. All you need to do is search Google for ‘free article directories’ and you’ll find a bunch. Some of them will be topic-specific (say, health or finance related articles for example) while other are more general. You can submit the same article to multiple directories to get the best exposure. In fact, you can even get software that will automate the process for you.
The topics you can choose to write about are limitless. What is the focus of your website? Be creative and think of why someone would want to visit your website and create an article about it. Someone who sells Tupperware for instance, could easily write about food related items or take it a step further an write an article about the fact that the plastic containers are great for organizing toys, bathroom items or even nuts and bolts in the garage.
If you’re not a natural writer, don’t let it bother you. There are plenty of places you can hire writers that will “ghostwrite” your articles for you. The cost will vary, depending on the quality of the writer, but you’ll generally pay between $7 and $15 for a 500 word article. If you really want to be hands-off, you can even outsource the submission of the articles and just sit back and watch the visitors arrive on your website!
