Increase Your Website Traffic,
|
Not so long
ago I had read an article about a woman who dramatically increased her page
ranking from article submissions on her new website. That that was a fact I
already knew, just like many other Internet Marketers. However, that article
was the needed inspiration I needed for me to make some changes with my
daily online business habits.
Since I started studying the changes in my online traffic, the effects on
adding content to your website and the change in search engine rankings,
I've learned the importance of writing what you know and sharing it with
others out there on the Internet.
I never took submitting and writing articles on a consistent basis too
seriously when I first started my home based business. Part of the reason
was because I was not confident enough to share what I knew with others.
Sure I posted a few articles, but I never posted those articles to as many
directories and ezines that would accept my article.
Now before you go about thinking it might NOT be necessary to write an
article periodically, take a look at some of the facts I have taken more
seriously and learned as a result of posting articles online.
10 Benefits Of Submitting Articles Online:
1. Posting an article online has more of a dramatic effect than one might
think for your home based business. Posting articles online builds the
needed momentum of website traffic in the form of increased popularity and
other sites linking to your site. All of those sites linking to you are one
way links!
2. As you begin to submit more articles to more directories, your list of
places for submitting articles will keep expanding.
3. Submitting to websites regularly will add more popularity to your
website. This is the easiest way to improved your link popularity as well as
your increased website traffic.
4. Most directories usually will let you include a resource box with your
name and your website link with your article. Your website address will be
found every time someone reads your article, creating more one way links to
your site.
5. Most article directory websites store submitted articles in their
archives. Since the search engine spiders love content, these sites are
crawled often. This means YOU will benefit from the traffic and hyperlinks
from each of your archived articles on their website.
6. The more articles you consistently write and distribute, the more you
will become known as an expert for your home based business. The more you
provide informative articles, your business will be given extra credibility
which will help you to compete against your competition.
7. The more exposure your articles get for you, the more you will see your
content showing up all over the Internet. Increasing the level of awareness
and popularity builds credibility. Increased credibility may lead to
requests to write other articles and improved sales of your product or
service.
8. The more articles that you submit to major article directories, the more
likely your content will be used for wider publication. The main reason why
this occurs is because many newsletter and ezine publishers like to use
article directories to search for good quality content for their
articles.
9. Adding content that is useful for both the readers and to the search
engines will gain in your website popularity. By posting your articles in
popular directories, you are more likely to be chosen for a featured article
in a newsletter and have several webmasters republish your article on their
website.
10. If you have a blog or RSS syndication, you should submit your articles
written in your blog to article directories. The most overlooked source of
traffic for a blog is through article submission. You can turn your longer
posts into articles and submit them to ezines or directories.
In Summary, make sure each article is written to inform and appeal to the
reader, so that they are getting useful information from you. Once you start
writing articles, be more systematic about submitting new ones on a regular
basis so they build momentum.
You will find the articles already posted have been hard at work for me
because they are free advertising from other people to post on their web
sites. You will start getting the traffic and attention you'd been wishing
for in months to come.
Best of luck in your writing endeavors,
