1. An effective means of marketing a web site or business is with Article Marketing. It is a no or minimal cost effort for promotion. Web masters search article sites for useful articles. Writing and publishing an article online increases the chance your article may be picked up for further use.
Authors deserve credit for their work so an author is usually allowed to add a resource box at the end of their articles. Contact information as well as a web page link is included. Contact information must be left in place by anyone who uses your article. It is quite possible your article might be used in an eBook and it will be beneficial to have your name attached.
2. Viral marketing is critical in this business. Viral marketing means doing something once and having your effort spread, reaping you with long term benefits. Those who read your article may click the link to your web site to find more content you have written.
Successful Internet marketeers typically write and publish at least one article per week to the various article banks. They get double duty out of these articles by publishing them in newsletters and posting these articles in various Internet article sites.

Articles distributed by successful people are informative and well written. They are informational articles, not sales letters. They are informative enough that readers will want to click the link in the resource box to visit your web sites. If articles are not well written, they will become dust collectors taking up space in cyberspace.
4. You may consider hiring a free lance writer to create articles for you, especially if you do not write well or have no time to write articles. You might provide all the information necessary or the writer will do the research as well. Depending on the time necessary for the article and how much in demand the writer is will set the cost of the article. Typical cost for an article between 300 and 500 words might range from $10 to $50.

These folks are more likely to subscribe to your mailing list or newsletter or purchase a product from you. It’s all because they found and read your article on one of the many information enriched web sites or newsletters and clicked on your link.
Become a Recognized Expert - When looking for information, most people seek out an expert or “someone in the know” in their chosen field or area of knowledge. Being a credible leader is a major factor in converting visiting web traffic to sales. When the most popular sites in your industry publish your articles, you become known as an expert in your field.

Get Your Blog On The First Page of Yahoo & Google
Posted by Sam Walters in Traffic Generation on November 21st, 2009
Blogging has become very popular these days. Everyday thousands of websites and blogs are added to the internet traffic. Everyone wants to have their blog whether it is institution, a company or an individual. Merely creating a blog is not enough because it is incomplete without its visitors. The very problem faced by the bloggers is the issue of bringing in traffic to their website or blog. There is tough competition amongst the bloggers on the internet because everyone wants to be ahead of others. The basic goal is to attract more and more visitors to their site in the less possible time, and that also at any cost.
The two biggest factors in blogging boil down to keywords and content. In order for people to not only find your blog on the internet but also understand what it’s all about in a brief ’site-scan’ you should focus on creating a set of keywords that will serve as the generalized theme or ‘topic’ that your website is about. These keywords will help your site if you properly incorporate them in blog posts, categories as well as by using them in HTML tags and potentially even the title of specific pages. Once you’ve determined what your blog will be focused on you will need to create content based on that keyword list you just made. Keep each post to a specific topic, as it will help with both onsite SEO not to mention will help your reader stay focused on the message you’re hoping to convey. Treat each post as a properly formatted email or letter, using new paragraphs for large segments or changes in tone. Including polls, images, video and links to similar content is an easy way to keep your content interesting and fresh.
Facebook, Twitter and Myspace are just a few of the popular social networking sites that you can use for free to increase your new blogs exposure. They’ve managed to become hubs to millions of users who interact on a daily-basis with other members on just about every subject known to man. Not only that but there are new social networking sites sprouting up each day to serve as a meeting place for specific topics or groups. To expand your reach by using these sites, first create a public profile, remembering to add a link to your blog as your ‘homepage’ or ‘personal URL’ and then do a search for topics discussed in your blog. Once you’ve found users, groups or topics similar to your own, try to engage participating members in a discussion furthering the subject matter and if possible adding an eventual link back to your blog for them to continue the conversation (or to view similar media that you’ve posted to your blog). Don’t link-spam though, this is the act of hammering discussions or threads with links for self-promotion. The general rule of thumb is: If you can’t add something positive to the conversation, stay out of it. Another tactic to increase traffic to your blog is to get listed in the various blog directories that are available on the web. These directories can be found pretty easily by performing a search for blog directories + “subject-matter.” For instance i’d search for (removing the quotes though) “blogging directories + seo” for SEO related directories.
Try to think outside the box on this one by going beyond electronic media. Apart from online marketing you can also go for offline marketing by way of newspapers, magazines, journals, yellow pages. This is another medium to increase traffic to your blog. Another tactic is to offer free downloads. This is another new and most popular thing which is found these days on almost every site. Put interesting software such as freeware, demo etc and let the visitors download them for free. Like this you can attract visitors and influence there curiosity to visit your blog for some interesting and new downloadable software’s.
The big question most new bloggers ask is how other internet users will find their site. The primary way that most users will find their way to your blog is through search engines. Whether its Yahoo!, Google, Bing or any other search portal, they’ll find your site when they search for some of the keywords that you should be creating content about. For instance if a user was looking for articles on ‘blog seo’ and I have an article or post on that topic then there’s a good chance it will show up when searched for. These search engines will catalog your website content every time that you update or add new content. To speed up the time it takes for the search engines ’spiders’ to crawl your site you should ‘ping’ new pages after you’ve created them to alert search engines to the new content. If you’re using a blog hosted on wordpress.com, blog.com or similar sites then this will be taken care of for you. If not (or if you’d like to be double-sure that your new content is indexed) then you can use free online ping tools like Ping-O-Matic or the PingNinja. Each is pretty self-explanatory, you just enter in the URL of the new post or content, then hit the submit button.

The Proper Way Of Article Marketing
Posted by Micheal Jones in Traffic Generation on October 21st, 2009
There are many ways an online business owner may go about “putting their name out there.” Generating traffic on ones site is of primary concern that is why the article market might be for any online business owner. If article marketing is performed accurately, then a website will generate much more traffic. On the other hand, if the articles are written poorly the reverse effect is more then likely going to happen. So though it is important for you to get articles out there but it’s more important for you to have great fresh content.
Though article marketing may take sometime to generate the results you desire it is worth the investment. We all want immediate results when we invest our time and energy into a project. Sometimes, those results never appear, but with article marketing a little work mixed with a little time will pleasantly surprise you.You can really start to see results with in the first week you start marketing articles. More importantly you’ll see the traffic is more productive then other ways of marketing.
First, you will be recognized as an expert in a certain field. We all know there are millions of questions out there, but wouldn’t be nice to answer confidently in one category. Being known as an expert can pay-off many ways. People tend to trust experts more than ordinary people or beginners.
The other benefit that you will be able to enjoy is the fact that you will with time establish yourself as an SEO god. The more articles that you post that are keyword rich the more your name will appear with search engines and the more traffic that your site will have.
The key to your success is that you know how to market your site and that you know who to market your site to. If you are running a site on deer hunting then you will not want to try and reach out to nuns with your site. There are plenty of benefits to effective article marketing, but the one key that you will have to possess is the patience of a saint.
Following the tips above can generate the traffic an online business owner wishes. But, remember: the results are not immediate, but they are proven to work, so sit back and relax.
