“Traffic! Traffic! I need traffic to my website! I have been trying so hard to write articles and submit them to article directories but still can’t see traffic flowing into my website. Why?”….hear the screaming voice of many website owners who are hungry of internet traffic.
“Article” had been recognized as the internet #1 marketing strategy and the most effective way to generate tons of traffic to a website. You heard about this statement before and putting a lot of efforts to write “articles” and working very hard to submit them to many article directories which you can find on the internet; while waiting for your articles to be approved by these article directories, you start to imagine with a smiling face:
“If those 200 article directories which I submitted with my 3 articles, each one bring me 200 internet traffic to my website, then I will have 120,000 targeted traffic and If 10% of those visitors buy my product or click on my AdSense ads, then I will earn $$$………“.
You wait with patient and with full of hopes for your articles to be approved and drive tons of internet traffic to your website. Finally, your articles are lived on the internet and you start to monitor your website’s internet traffic from time to time. This is the situation you may face:
Day three has two visitors; day four has 3 visitors; day five has none visitor……day by day past…..where are that 120,000 targeted traffic? You wonder!
This time failed never mind, you try the same process again: Writing a few articles, submit them to hundreds of article directories, waiting with hopes for approval, monitor your website traffic from time to time.
“What’s goes wrong…..why my articles can’t drive traffic to my website?” This must be the questions that come up to your mind after a few failures. If this is your case, the first thing that you need to do is review your articles. Are your articles attractive enough to lead your article readers to complete reading your article and curious enough to get further information by visiting your website through the link from your article?
In order to drive traffic to your website using articles, these steps must happen:
1. Internet surfer looks for information from internet or ezines directories. Hundreds of thousands of search results or related articles list up for the internet surfer to choose from; he or she will selectively click on the links from search results based on the summary of each search result or article which he or she thinks the links will bring him or her to the useful information he/she needs.
At this first step, you need to have an eye-catching article title and summary which will draw the attention of your potential website visitors.
2. Next, your article needs to drive your readers to complete reading your article and create the anxiousness to get more or further information by visiting your website. According to the experts, good articles are articles that can connect to your audience with emotion besides providing them with necessary information.
Facts and Statistics are fine but what makes us take action is emotion. If your articles are all fact and create no emotion then who cares about going on to find more dry facts at your website. Your articles will fall into the depths of article directories everywhere and be a big fat waste of your time and efforts.
There are many tips and tricks available from the internet on how to write a killer article that will flood your website with traffic. Simply search on this article directory with the keyword “Killer Article” or “Quality Article” will give you many results with useful information.
If there is a need, you might want to get help from a professional writer to write you a quality article and private label it to yours for submission. There are many good writers around where you can use their service; of course, fees normally incur, but it may give you a good return on investment (ROI).
Do waste your time just to write articles but put your effort to write quality articles. It’s true that “Article” is the internet’s #1 marketing strategy. Just good & bad articles that make the difference.
