Getting Visitors Using Article Marketing

By M.S. Williams

Make Your Site More Popular

One of the first goals of every new website you create is probably to get some quality traffic - whether to ultimately buy your product, read you information or click on your ads, your new website isn't worth much if no one finds it or goes to it.

Article Marketing to the Rescue

One of the easiest ways to get traffic to a new website is through writing and publishing articles to other websites, including article directories and other niche sites. These articles that you write act like a site magnet to the search engines. The link that you include in the article gets your site listed quickly in the search engines - and your site's future is off to the races.

Lots of Good Things About Article Marketing.

Article marketing flat out works to get many incoming links to your website. You can get as many as a thousand links or more simply by writing unique content and posting it on article directories and niche sites that are always looking for new content. And, a side benefit of writing and posting articles is that you might get to be known as an authority in your niche.

Besides being free, article marketing is effective - since there are hundreds and even thousands of sites that accept articles for publication, within a short time you can have your site visible to thousands of people - as well as have your site listed in all the major search engines.

The Bad About Article Marketing

Even though article marketing is a great boon to a brand new website, there are, of course, downsides too. One obvious problem is that you have to write the article that you are going to submit.

If you really don't want to do the writing yourself, there are a number of sources where you can hire others to do the writing for you.

The other major obstacle is the time it takes to submit your articles to the article directories and niche sites. The problem here is there are thousands of sites that accept articles - to submit to a large share of these sites takes a lot of time.

However, there are article submission services that will place your articles for you. And, you can alway hire freelancers to do that job too.
