If you're not already writing articles to direct traffic back to your site, you could be missing out on great opportunities!
There is a form of marketing that could really pay off for your business – and earn you some extra money in the process. If you’re not already writing articles to direct traffic back to your site, you could be missing out on great opportunities.
By writing articles, yourself or using a copywriter, and selling or promoting them on websites, you can spread the message fast, to millions of web users across the world.
We’ll talk you through some of your options.
At http://www.articlecity.com/, you can submit articles and press releases in bulk, along with a short biography that could direct people back to your site.
http://ezinearticles.com/ is a similar site, where high quality is guaranteed by a human editorial team. Submitting articles to this site could boost your credibility and improve trust within your readership.
The site claims to be 7 - 10 times more effective than regular advertising, because of the implied expertise in your articles.
Another user-friendly site is http://www.squidoo.com/, where you build your own page, or “lens”, full of expert recommendations on any subject. If your lens becomes popular, you become known as an expert on the subject. Your lens can also point towards your own blog or website.
Through ads and click-throughs, your lens on a popular topic could generate two, five or twenty dollars a day in clickthrough and affiliate income. Which doesn't sound like much, until you start thinking like an eBay PowerSeller and build twenty or even fifty lenses on a variety of topics.
E-zine publishers regularly trawl these sites for material. When your articles get picked up for reprints, you will often get a surge of traffic as your articles are introduced to their email list members or audience.
What’s more, when the articles are reproduced, they effectively become a form of free advertising.
There are also fringe benefits: You may also find new joint venture partners who are introduced to you via your published articles.
Article submission services can help you attain a better ranking with the search engines. Using keywords and optimising some words in the title, sentences, and author's information box is a good way to do this – your article submission site should be able to help.
The amount spent on an article distribution service is small when you look at the results you can achieve. It makes great sense, when you can exponentially increase the amount of traffic to your site.
