Read This Article Marketing Tips To Get More Traffic

By Manny Rutz


Article marketing can be a very effective way to promote your website and attract more visitors. However over the past few years article marketing has changed a lot because search engines are not considering article networks as trusted sites. In the past article marketing was used for seo purposes, in this article we are going to talk about how to use it to generate more traffic for your websites.

Content marketing is really important right now. Whether is creating videos, writing blog posts or submitting articles to article directories you need to focus on content. The good news is that article directories still receive thousands of visitors each month and if you have articles in some of these directories you will have a chance of getting some of that traffic. Check out directories like hubpages.com or ezinearticles.com which are both free and get tons of traffic.

We also recommend that as soon as you finish writing and submitting your article to one of the top 5 article directories out there that you share your article everywhere. Sharing on social media sites might help you get the initial boost of traffic needed to get featured on the homepage of your article directory. Usually the more traffic you get in the first 48 hours the more chances you get of getting features.

The idea behind article marketing is to create trust between you and your reader. For example something as simple as posting a link from your articles to another piece of content will help you build that trust. That other content can be a video, blog or even another of your articles.

If you have the resources you can outsource your article writing, there are tons of places to hire people to write articles. With some hard work and patience you can take advantage of the massive popularity of some of these directories and use it to build your own source of targeted traffic on demand.
