How Article Marketing Can Get You More Visitors To Your Website
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.
You’re probably aware that fresh content is important to getting search engine traffic to your website or blog. A lot of webmasters and bloggers frequent these article directory websites, looking for new articles for their own sites.
When you submit an article to a directory, you are allowing other website owners and bloggers permission to add your article to their site - for free. However, they need to include an ‘about the author’ box at the end of the article.
You get to write what you want included in that box, so include a bit of information about the product or service you offer and include links to your site.
When the webmaster uses your article on their site, they need to include that information and the links which will be in front of everyone who sees the article on their site. If you write a good article, it can end up on hundreds of websites with thousands of people reading it. Naturally, many of them will click the link to your website for more information.
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.
Choosing a topic for your article is quite simple. What is your website about? Think of something your visitors would be looking for and then write an article about it. For example, someone who sells Tupperware could quite easily write about any food-related topics or even something a little further afield such as organizing your home.
And if you don’t really enjoy writing, it’s not a problem. You can hire writers to ghostwrite your articles at various places on the internet. How much you’ll pay will depend on different factors, but usually you’ll wind up paying between $8 and $20 per 500 word article.
