Using Article Marketing To Get More Website Traffic

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're likely aware, fresh new content on your website or blog is very helpful with getting higher search engine rankings. Many webmasters and bloggers who are looking for new content to add to their sites visit article directories to find it.

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.

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 website owner or blogger puts your article up on the web, all of their readers will see your biography information and the links to your website. Your article could end up on hundreds or thousands of websites, and quite possibly, millions of people could end up reading it! Who knows how many people could click on your link?

Finding article directories isn't difficult - all you really need to do is a Google search for "article directory". Some of the results will focus on specific markets, such as health or home & garden, while many will accept articles on almost any topic.

Coming up with ideas for article topics is really not hard. Just take the topic of your website and think of a question your visitors would have, then write an article answering it. For example, if you have a gardening website, you could write about how to care for your indoor plants or when to start planting seeds.

If you do not like to write, don't worry. You can hire a ghostwriter to write your article for you. You can ask other Internet Marketers for referrals on reputable ghostwriters. The prices for an article will vary, but an average rate is about $10 to $12 for a 500 word article. Once you discuss with the ghostwriter what you are looking for, they will write the article and send it back to you. Some ghostwriters may also include submit the article to reprint directories for you.
