Free Traffic For Your Sites

[sspoldir]

After much testing I have found that article marketing still rocks for bringing in highly relevant traffic and leads that simply convert into better sales. The best part about articles is that other than your time they are 100% free to write.

In fact here is a study done using only a handful of article that resulted in traffic, inbound links and most importantly sales:

A few tips to remember is avoiding duplicate content when possible and you will get the most amount of exposure to your articles by submitting to real ezine, newsletter and topical site publishers. Write up many resources or about the author boxes as well, at least twenty and submit a different one with each article.

Article marketing does draw in traffic to your site and eventually make the needed conversions.

When submitting to article directories, always use the same URL as the source where your article is situated in your site so as to avoid duplicate content issues

Jimmy, if your articles are keyword-focussed AND if
those keywords are searched frequently enough AND
if you do a few other things (read on),
you can get your site onto page 1 of the SE
results pages... and this will bring traffic.

I've got onto page 1 for several 2-3-4 word keyphrases
in a matter of 24-48 hours recently. Socialmarker.com
is a key piece in that puzzle.

PS:

One of the great challenges is WRITING ALL THESE
ARTICLES. So time consuming. Or expensive if you
hire it out. My signature below contains an
interesting solution...
