To start with, it is useful to remember that most people come online looking for information. They are usually already aware of the fact that this information is available in web sites and they are eager to find sites that are packed with the information that they are looking for. If they find a promotional article covering the subject that they are seeking information on, they will eagerly read it and if they like what they see, they will then visit your web site. Promotional articles are therefore a great way to attract attention to yourself and your web site.
Unlike traffic that directly originates from search engines, visitors who arrive at your site after having read your promotional articles will not only be highly targeted, but they will also already be prepared in that they will have a very good idea of what is available at your site. This means that they will usually be much easier to convert into paying clients. In other words much smaller number of readers arriving at your site through promotional articles will tend to be much more profitable to you than bigger numbers arriving via any other web site promotional method you can think of using.
Then there is the fact that a single article can continue to pull in traffic for your web site for years to come without you having to invest any more time or money on it. For instance a good promotional article distributed to article directories, web sites and blogs will tend to remain online for years. In effect it will continue to be available to persons interested in the subject, and a good number of them will end up at your web site. This is a huge advantage.
These are but a few of the many reasons why articles tend to be more profitable than many other forms of web site promotion.
Only Two Methods Needed To Increase Web-Site Traffic
There are several different ways to increase web-site traffic, but only one is the best and this article will explain in full detail how to accomplish this. First and foremost, forget everything you've ever read on increasing web-site traffic. Only the best and smartest concepts will be learned from this article. Only relevant backlinks and relevant reciprocal links are needed. Why are these the only two concepts you should focus on to increase targeted web-site traffic. These two methods will kill four birds with one stone, search engine rankings, link popularity, pagerank(PR), and targeted web-site traffic. There is no reason for me to explain why these increase your targeted traffic, but only how to utilize them.
Relevant Backlinks Increase Web-Site Traffic
Backlinks are the heart of search engine rankings and can dramatically increase web-site traffic alone. Why? Backlinks carry more importance then any other form of links, because the search engine feels, that if there is a backlink or one-way link to your site from another without linking to them, that your site is more important. 50 Backlinks are more important than 500 reciprocal links. Search engines are aware that webmasters trade links, so to have multiple backlinks from highly important sites tells the search engine, this site is important regarding this particular niche, this is why your backlinks must be relevant. How do I acquire high pr backlinks with out paying hundreds of dollars. Articles! An Article Directory can be your savior in your backlink crisis. Almost all article directories will have at least a PR4 ranking. Why? Unique content and all the article pages providing a backlink to the article directory.
An Article Directory Can Increase Relevant Backlinks
You are going to exploit the article system by creating lots of article pages with a one-way or backlink to your site or several sites if you choose. Most article directories will allow you to insert three links in the resource box of an article submission form. By writing artices and submitting to a directory or directories, you will gain three backlinks for every article published. One article can expand. I had to show you the power of articles, so I published one 6 days prior to this one, "The Full Adsense Formula." Google search it within the quotations. Now I only submitted it to 150 article directories, and in 6 days I have twice as many backlinks from this published article. Why are there twice as many links as article directories I submitted to? An article directory is not just for publishing articles, but also for webmasters with a high demand for content. These webmasters can reprint or publish your article, with your permission of course, on their site as long as they keep the article intact, including the backlinks to your sites. Now, for a webmaster to want to reprint your article it must be relevant to their site. Relevant Backlinks! An article I wrote last year now has been published on 8,000 pages. A lot of relevant backlinks for thirty minutes of typing. This will increase your PR within weeks and you will see the increase in web-site traffic in days. This article exploit is used more for the search engines rankings and backlinks, not long term web-site traffic. The reason for this is because the NEW article itself will only generate traffic for a month or so.
Articles Increasse Search Engine Rankings
Now these articles in the directories will be indexed in the search engines on their own page, with your link at the end. So 5,000 pages with your article increases your chances of a search engine user locating it, reading it, and visiting your site afterwards. Why? They want more info or have come to the conclusion that you know what you are talking about, if it is a very informative article. While these pages move up in the SERP's(Search Engine Results Page) over time the page they are linked to will move up also. For Search Engine purposes, the backlink that follows the article shou;d not have the article on it. Why? Search engines like unique content and the visitor doesn't want to read the same article over. They want more relevant info that wasn't included in the article.
Use Articles To Gain Reciprocal Links
Write an article on reciprocal links and inform your readers that you will be exchanging links, leave your email address and the topics of your pages and you won't have to spend enourmous amounts of time looking for links to increase your web-site traffic. They'll email you. Once the pages are in the search engines. I have used these methods many times to give new domains at least a (PR5)PageRank of 5 in 30 days time. I have a new article directory myself, I will try to obtain a PR8 in no time.
