You should skip this article if you have more Website traffic than you need. But if you are like many of us and need more that read on.
Content is still the gold standard that Web sites are graded on by the search engine robots. The content needs to be honest and reliable. When it is, you will begin to get a following of visitors.
These visitors will purchase from you time and time again. But first they need to get content from you so they will build that special trust.
How do you build more Web site traffic?
The easiest way is to begin a distribution of your articles to directories, ezine publishers, and article announcement services.
As you do this you will notice more Website traffic. If your experience is anything like mine it will be noticeable in the first or second week after circulating your article(s).
Article Directories
These are sites that devour content and have it available to others, including yourself. Article directories can have many categories for various articles they accept or they may be specialized and only take articles which deal within a small spectrum.
There are hundreds of these sites and you should rely only on the ones that are considered top tier. Usually these have been around the longest and have the widest base of readers looking for "your" article.
Web masters and others look to these "dealers of content" for actual articles or for ideas for their own articles.
Unless you copyright an article it is usually there for the taking and using. As a ethical component for the free use of an article it is expected that the article
- will not be changed
- will have the resource box in tact
- and will reference the author and web site
Article Announcement Services
Another service which will bring you more Website traffic are announcement services. There are a few companies which do this and do it well. They have a list of members to which they announce via email the newest articles.
The biggest ones are Yahoo Groups (@http://groups.yahoo.com/) and web-source.net (www.web-source.net/article-announce.htm )
You can get good exposure to ultimately get more Website traffic.
Ezine Publishers
Here there are literally hundreds if not thousands of the publishers. Most of them have a dual business both allowing you to add content articles and to get your articles to them so they may be used for ezines.
When you look into ezine publishers you will find that they are usually have niches for themselves. That is they usually look for a few categories of subjects. For expample, there are only about 5-10 who deal with articles on gardening.
As you submit your articles for use to these services you will need to know which niche or niches that your article fits best.
By using these various avenues to get your articles out there you definitely will see more Website traffic. It is amazing how fast a growth you will see. It is not uncommon to see your site double or triple its traffic stats.
What does it take to submit to these?
I've got to admit it does take considerable time to submit your article, one at a time, to all of these potential services. Just to submit to about 40 directories it takes me about 6 hours.
Save Yourself 4-5 hours
I have found a way to cut this time down to about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. This is a tremendous savings of time for me and it is done correctly.
