In this article I want to provide 3 ways to get more traffic from article marketing that you may not be doing. Article marketing is a free way to market on the Internet if you are willing to invest some of your time to do it.
1. Maximum number of article directories. Most Internet marketers submit one article to one article directory and then start over and write another article and repeat the process.
There are literally thousands of directories you can submit your articles to. There certainly are several high traffic article directories that you should be submitting to every time.
When you write articles with the idea that you want to get traffic from them you are not as concerned about how they rank on the search engines. You want to write articles that people enjoy reading and then get them in front of as many people as you possibly can.
The best way to do this is to use a submission site such as Submit Your Article. With the click of one button your article will be submitted to multiple article directories at one time.
They have a patented “Article Leverage” feature where you can rewrite the article and have it spun into unique versions. This is a good idea because article directories appreciate having content that is somewhat unique.
You can also vary the resource box at the bottom of the article to drive traffic to different pages within your website. You do this by not sending all of the traffic only to your homepage.
2. Social directories. Post a unique version of your article on your blog and then submit it to social directories.
A good tool for this is Only Wire. Initially you will need to spend a little time joining over 40 social directories. This is time well spent because you can take your blog post and submit it to all of the directories at one time.
It’s very easy to do and all you need to complete this is to paste in the URL of the blog post, the blog title, a short summary, and your tag keywords. You then hit the submit button and this is posted in social directories including Facebook and Twitter.
Search engines spider social directories every day and they will find a link back to your blog. This is a good way to eventually have some of your blog articles rank on the search engines.
Readers will also find your blog post and some of them will visit your blog and read the whole article. This is a good way to increase traffic that you would not be otherwise be getting from your article.
3. Video marketing. Use an article converter to turn your articles into videos.
One of the best on the market is Article Video Robot. You can easily create attractive videos with music by just pasting in your article and letting their system convert it into a video.
You can then use their system to submit your video to the top shared video sites including You Tube. At the bottom of each video include your your website URL so people can visit your site for more information.
Article marketing continues to be a great way to increase traffic to your website and make money. The key is to maximize the use of each article so you are generating traffic from as many sources as possible.
