Free Traffic from Articles and Social Media Sites the Right Way

by Kevin on July 30, 2009

Composing and submitting articles is a potent formula for advertising your Website, products, and services. Here are only some of the benefits you will welcome by sending articles to directories and social media sites:

1. Explode the links pointing visitors to your Website. Search engines adore links. They use links as a gauge for deciding how “relevant” your Website is to what they are searching for. Some sites like Squidoo, MySpace, and Blogger (Which, incidentally is owned by Google!) are “spidered” and indexed several times a day. Search engines view each link pointing to your site as a “vote” and the more votes your Website receives, the higher it will rank on the results pages!

2. Dramatically supercharge your Website traffic, sales, and ezine opt-ins. Once you send articles to directories, they are discovered by other Website, featured in newsletters, and sent out in ezines. This will produce further traffic and thus more exposure for you and your business–especially if you author them yourself. Whenever you compose your own articles, you are able to include a “Resource Box” at to conclude your piece which briefly explains your “expert” status and links to your Website.

3. Earn “expert” status and become accepted as an authority in your field. Because you are publishing information jammed articles, you will soon delight in the status of being considered as an authority on your niche. This reality alone can lead to joint ventures and many other exciting opportunities that you would have never enjoyed otherwise.

4. Before long you will bask in a flood of 100% free, targeted traffic for years to come. By submitting your articles (particularly ones that you write yourself), other people will begin using them. Then you will enjoy a torrent of free traffic that will come rolling in, increasing more and more with each passing day. Best of all, it will not cost you a dime. You will never have to rely on the search engines for this free traffic ever again and you likely will not be able to contain it even if you try!

Website owners or newsletter and ezine publishers like you are provided with a resource of relevant, on topic content that you will be able to use free from the article directories that can be found all over the Internet. Just snatch the articles you would like to use, leave them in their original state complete with the author’s resource box providing acknowledgment to the author, and use those articles however you want!

As well as posting to article directories, can post your articles on your blogs (e.g. Blogger), Squidoo pages, and other sites like MySpace. Then you will be able to link to them from social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace with attention-getting headlines and snippets that entice eager readers and potential customers to your squeeze pages and other moneymaking sites. This is a monetizing trick, which even some experienced marketers are just beginning to realize!

You should unquestionably use the articles from directories on your Website to provide your visitors with more useful content and keep them returning for more. You should employ articles on your blog to keep it current and updated daily with great information. You should broadcast articles to your newsletter or ezine subscribers and offer them fresh insights on the most popular of today’s issues.

Regardless of how you wind up employing articles; either the ones you gather from article directories or the ones you write yourself, you will benefit whenever you use them wisely and post them to sites and areas heavily trafficked by people like you besides the major search engine spiders. You cannot go wrong and will reap great rewards with increased traffic, higher search engine rankings, and more money in your pocket!
