Writing For Free Traffic
Most marketers know that article
writing is a good way to get links back to and
exposure for your web site. A secondary effect of article writing is
credibility as
an authority on the subject. People feel more comfortable purchasing
from someone
that actually knows what they are talking about. Article writing can
accomplish this
in short order.
Sometimes just a handful of articles concisely written will attract
dozens of
visitors daily for years, provided you properly submit the article
to a large and
varied group of article directories.
Each directory has a unique following, submitting to only a few will
produce limited
results. By submitting to 40-100 different directories it will give
you a much better
exposure not to mention the extra backlinks from highly ranked
directory sites.
There are several good services available online that will submit
your articles to
hundreds of directories for you at a price. Free submission will
take a bit of time
but is very much worth the time spent.
Article writing can become monotonous if you are trying to write
about subjects that
you are not familiar with. You must do a sufficient amount of
research in the field
of what you are promoting or the articles will read like a novice.
In most cases, unless you are a seasoned professional in the area, a
percentage of
the people reading your article will know more about the subject
than you do and they
will spot a novice right off. In this case they will not give you
enough respect to
buy from you. Remember the saying, you can fool some of the people
some of the time
but you can't fool all of the people all of the time?
The same is true when writing articles for website or salespage
promotion. Readers
that know as much as you do about the subject are in the buying
group, they know what
they want and are looking for it. The ones that are easily fooled by
a novice writer
are still in the tire kicking or beginner stage, probably not up to
the purchasing
level.
Most people will search for what they
want trying to get it for free. After an amount
of research, they find out that in order to get anything good you
have to buy it. So
by the time they have gotten to your article, and eventually
salespage, chances are
they have read quite a few professionally written articles on the
subject and will
spot a poorly written or not fully researched article thus loosing
their respect for
your authority.
Most articles that come from software look like novice articles.
Don't get me wrong,
I use an article writing software at times for certain subjects or
to get the base
for an article. Most software will search the web or private article
databases for
corresponding keywords and return sentences matching those keywords.
The downside of this is that no unique thoughts are produced. When
using software add
your own personality to the article you are writing. When the reader
goes to the site
that you created they will recognize the same style in both.
When writing articles for article marketing purposes you must
understand that it will
take many articles to produce any kind of sustainable results. Just
writing four or
five articles and expecting a flood of traffic to your sites is a
fantasy.
Whether you get traffic from the articles or not, they will all
produce great
backlinks which will move you up in the search engines and get you
traffic that way.
So keep on writing articles and submitting them on a regular basis
and before you
know it the amount of traffic will surprise you.
