Secrets of Traffic Generation – Article Marketing


By Kelvin Lee

Driving traffic is one of the toughest but essential parts of internet marketing. This is the part that truly differentiates a successful affiliate marketer from an unsuccessful one. You may have the most beautiful and attractive website and product but if there are no visitors, it is like a shop without a customer walking past.

Therefore learning to drive traffic is a must for anyone who is serious about their business. In this article, I will be focusing on the Article Marketing method that i use to generate almost 75% of my visitors.

Article Marketing is not as tough as what most of you think; people always have the perception that you must write a very sophisticated article to be a good one. In actual fact, what people need from your article is your sharing of your expertise so that they can learn and apply what you know. You do not have to write rocket science article to entice your reader. In fact, the more sophisticated your article, the less people will stay reading because they find it hard to understand.

These are what you need in your article in order to generate traffic to your website

1) Powerful title

2) Relevant content of your area of expertise

3) Introduction

4) Problem faced by people

5) Your solution to the problem

6) Your Bio: Always include a link to direct people to your website to learn more about your expertise

7) Word Count of around 350 – 450 will do

I have done numerous tracking of my articles and I found that an article of 300 – 450 words generate the same number of traffic for me as an article of 700 – 1000 words. Therefore if you have written 1000 words articles, you can split it into 3 articles of different parts because people are more likely to finish reading a 350 words article than a 1000 words article.

The reason why internet exists is because of information, therefore writing article is one of the most effective methods of traffic generation as it is one of the mean of information sharing. Besides traffic generation, article marketing can also increase the number of back links to your website and it can help to improve your ranking in the search engines as well.

I have been using article marketing as my primary tool for traffic generation and it has proven to be very effective for me. So take some time everyday to write an article to share your expertise with people and at the same time increase the traffic to your site

What other strategy provides the benefit of increasing your Website page rank through the numerous inbound links it produces? What other strategy can effectively generate interested visitors to your URL? What is my top marketing strategy and the top marketing strategy for the vast majority of marketers to drive targeted visitors to their sites? Article Marketing, of course! Ah but wait, the key to a successful article marketing campaign is to produce unique articles each filled with unique content. The effectiveness of article marketing has been declining for several years, until now. What had happened was that Google started to recognize articles, that were being submitted everywhere, containing duplicate content. They soon instituted a filter that so called “weeded out” these duplicate content articles and therefore stripping the inbound links generated from your pages or article submissions. The result was that about one in 19 inbound links counted positively towards your page ranking. What is our solution? As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, submitting articles with unique content! Since as I do, you need an article submission software that can handle this daunting task. So, how do you overcome this tragedy? By using the best and most powerful article marketing tool that I can recommend is Article Pro Software. It can randomly select paragraphs from the three different articles you write and compile them into hundreds and thousands of unique articles. That’s right, only three different articles you need to write, not hundreds or even thousands! Allow me to explain…You actually write one original article and then rewrite it again twice keeping the same paragraph structure. If you have a 5 paragraph article with three different versions it actually randomly creates what looks like 125 different article you are submitting. If you have a 6 paragraph article with three different versions it randomly creates what looks 216 different articles. Remember, Google’s duplicate filter would catch about 17 in about 18 duplicate articles. But now, by submitting unique articles with the power of Article Pro Software, you can effectively have most all of your articles accepted and listed in Google. Through testing, it has been proven that 300 duplicate articles shrink to about 16 or 17 that count as inbound links toward your page rank. By submitting unique articles using Article Pro Software and retaining those inbound links, you would end up with 18.75 times more effectiveness or 1875% more effectiveness as a percentage figure. Eureka! Yes, you can really get hundreds or thousands of inbound links coming to your site! Links that search engines love to see, links that are driving you interested traffic, links that blast your page rank higher with each article submission. What other strategy has the dynamics to generate that amount of inbound links in such a minimal amount of time? What are you waiting for? Lets get submitting those unique articles. Article Pro Software will take care of submitting all those unique articles for you at the click of your mouse so you don’t have to sit there and write hundreds, if not thousands, of unique articles. It would take you years to accomplish what can be done in a matter of hours. Now that is an amazing marketing tool that every article marketer should have! If your not ready to purchase this article submission software yet, then you must submit unique articles to be effective. Try and make them as unique as possible manually by hand. This is the best way, and my #1 strategy for generating huge amounts of URL traffic.
