Are your articles getting as many page views as they deserve? Are we submitting our work to the best sites for the niches we write for? Many of us who write articles tend to be a little lazy when it comes to submitting our work. We submit articles to the same sites over and over because we’ve always used those sites. Or maybe we read somewhere that the sites we use are the best out there. Do a little research and take a fresh look at your submission sites; you might see a substantial increase in your page views.
If you are writing less than five articles each day, you should submit them to at least 30-40 sites. Of course, to do this efficiently, you will need to use one of the article submission programs. There are many available and some are quite reasonably priced or even free. If you are writing five or more articles each day, you may only have time to submit them to ten or twelve sites.
There are some nice websites out there that can assist you in choosing your article submission sites. http://www.beansoftware.com/Article-Sites-Master-List.aspx is an excellent source. For each listing, they provide you with the Google page rank and the Alexa rating along with the year of inception. If you are looking for largest sites, their rating system makes it very easy. The larger, more popular sites have high Google page ranking and low Alexa numbers.
In addition to selecting large sites, you may want to consider sites that concentrate in the niche you write for. This could be especially important if you write for a small, specialized sector. There are some excellent sources for this type of information. http://www.freelancemom.com/submitarticles.htm provides links to over 500 article submission sites. Many of them are small, niche type sites that specialize in a particular area.
After developing the list of new sites that you selected, add them to the list that you are currently submitting to. You shouldn’t eliminate all of the sites on your current list because you may have readers that look for your work on those sites. So, be careful when eliminating submission sites. However, if you are only getting four page views per month from xyz site, you should probably eliminate them.
Submit several articles to your new list of submission sites. After a week or so, research the page views that your articles are achieving. Are you getting as many (or hopefully more) page views than you were getting previously? Where are the largest numbers of page views coming from? If your niche sites are giving you more page views, look to add additional similar sites. By making these changes to your submissions, you should see some significant improvement.
The level of success of your website is directly related to the number of views it receives every day. Page views are generated by unique visitors who surf onto your site and check it out in order to find the answer to information they are looking for on how to do something.
The more time visitors spend on your site the more chance there is for you to get your message across and for them to take action.
Below are four tips you can use in order to increase the number of page views you get:
1. Use proper highlighting and formatting. The style and appearance of your site is very important. If your website has great sections of hard to digest text, people will surf away as quickly as they got there.
You can increase the length of time they spend on your site by highlighting all the keywords and phrases. White space is not something that you need to worry about as generally, highlighted text that has white space around it is more attractive to the human eye and makes for easier reading and scanning of the page.
2. Put a site map and article teasers onto your main page:
A site map makes it easier for visitors or search engines to navigate your website.
You can also increase page views by placing excerpts or teasers from other pages of your site onto your homepage and link each teaser to the relevant page. Your aim with this is to entice visitors to click through to other pages. It is also an excellent idea to provide a site map to make it easier for people as well as search engine spiders to navigate your site.
3. Unique well written content is crucial to getting visitors to stay:
People are hungry for good quality information and this is one of their main motives for surfing the internet. Content is king when it comes to the internet more so than anywhere else. If your site is able to give them the information they require, they will be more than willing to check it out and more likely to bookmark your site for return visits and recommend it to other people. Your content is also more likely to get picked up by the search engines which will dramatically increase the number of people who visit your website.
4. Keep the copy short and simple
When it comes to website copy, short and simple is best. Give the information in short concise easy to read paragraphs. People have short attention spans on the internet. No one will read a thousand word articles. People generally tend to scan articles rather than read them. They will only read an article from start to finish if the style and content are so good that they can't help but read everything.
Implementing these four tips will help to increase the length of time and the number of page views you will get.
