TrafficTsar Web Traffic Generation

hey,

anybody knows how to do article marketing the proper way? i would be interested to know how often i should post articles to article directories for an adsense website. let’s say that the website has 10 pages and that i write 10 articles (1 for each page of the site) and then i submit each of those articles to all major article directories like ezinearticles.com and articledashboard.com etc.
my question is this: once i have submitted those 10 articles is my work done for that website or i should write other DIFFERENT 10 articles and submit those ones as well? and if i should continue doing this, how many times should i do it and at what intervals of time?

thanks and looking forward to hearing from an expert article marketer :p

Hi John,

It actually depends on a few things:

1. What’s the topic of your site (i.e. how competitive is the market)
2. How fast do you want results
3. What results are you looking for

If you post 10 articles, the site will likely start getting traffic from the start. How much traffic it gets depends mainly on how popular your topic is, how good your article bio box is, and how much competition there is for that topic. The quality of your articles and how well your resource box is written also play major roles.

In a really competitive niche like payday loans or weight loss for example, you may not get much traffic from just 10 articles.

Even if you immediately start getting 100 visitors a day from those 10 articles though, you may only earn a dollar or so because there are many factors on your site which play a role in getting clicks. And of course the niche you’ve chosen may or may not be profitable.

So the best answer is: However many it takes to get the results you want.

If you want to earn $10 a day then keep writing and distributing articles till you’ve reached that goal. If you’re happy with $1 a day then 10 articles may do the trick.

Keep in mind that article marketing is a long term approach too. So the first 10 articles you release may not start producing decent results for as long as 3 months.

Also what do you do first, look for a niche or get good keywords?

The number of articles does not guarantee the success of a niche. You need to research keywords to find niches where there are a lot of searches, and also that those searches are by buyers. Once you find your niche, you need to either have your own product to sell or be an affiliate for someone else’s product. Then you can begin writing articles and posting them on article sites.

The more articles you publish in the niche, the better. And of course, once you publish some, continuing with a steady stream of them each month helps also.

I wrote an article about article marketing. I’ll post the link in the resource box. It should help answer some of your questions.

Iam very new to SEO. I wants my site to be on top of major search engines. Please suggest me how to do proper seo.

One thing to remember is that NOT all article directories are created equal.

As Matt Cutts, Google head of the web spam team said

"In my experience, not every article directory site is high-quality. Sometimes you see a ton of articles copied all over the place, and it’s hard to even find original content on the site. The user experience for a lot of those article directory sites can be pretty bad too. So you’d see users landing on those sorts of pages have a bad experience."

That means when you do article marketing, submit only to QUALITY article directories — otherwise you will just be wasting time because you won’t see any positive results. Look only for those article directories that actually review submissions, not accept every single articles including the crappiest ones.

Article Marketing has been used by Internet Marketing experts for years. But the answer to “Does Article Marketing Work?” isn’t as simple as yes or no. Article Marketing works IF it is done right. Like almost every other part of marketing on the net, done wrong it can hurt, not help your web traffic building and website ranking efforts. 

Here’s a thumbnail overview of how article marketing is done. You write a keyword rich article that pertains to the information or products on the website you are trying to get traffic to. You then submit the article to Article Distribution sites. These sites list your article in their directories, categorized by your subject matter.

Bloggers and site owners come to these directories and pick up articles that help the content on THEIR sites. Your author information, including your site url and other info must stay attached to your article no matter who grabs it and no matter where it appears on the net.

So your article now has backlinks from highly rated article sites plus anyone who has grabbed it as content for their site. Because it is text, Google likes the content and your website ranking rises.

Sounds simple enough, but there are many pitfalls. For example, there are hundreds of article directories. SUbmit to them all and your link juice suffers because it’s from the SAME article everytime. The duplicate content rules start to take over and your ranking will at best be unaffected and at worst actually go down as those links are diluted.

Not every Article Directory accepts the same file format. In fact, even the ones who accept .txt formats only will not always display the article the same way. Did you know there are several different types of .txt encoding? And each one may deal with paragraph breaks differently! On one site your article may be displayed perfectly, on the next site it may be one long ugly block of text.

There are other pitfalls to article writing which we’ll go into in future posts, but for now remember that article writing is one of the best marketing techniques for getting your website ranked well and driving traffic quickly. While it is only one tool in your marketing arsenal, it’s a pretty heavy gun, capable of helping you dominate rankings for even competitive keywords.

If you’re not doing article marketing, learn more about it, hopefully by coming back here, and implement it as part of your weekly marketing duties.
