Welcome to part 2 of my series of articles where I’ll be talking about the best free strategies to generate real traffic to your websites. These are proven strategies and tricks that take time to kick into action, but they’re also the ones that will generate long-term traffic inflow to your destination.
In part one of the series, I talked about on-page SEO. In part 2 I’ll go over Article Marketing. Article marketing has taken a severe beating over the years starting in 2012 with the “Panda” and “Penguin” updates by Google and continuing all the way to today. It’s 2021 and if you think that you can generate traffic by mass-submitting, you have another thing coming. Not only will it not work, but your website can get penalized for trying to play the system.
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. Google makes most of their money through paid ads and services. They would be idiots to ruin a several billion dollars industry by allowing people to rank easily through cheap tricks. Something can work for a while, but sooner or later Google catches up and updates it’s algorithm, and the game starts all over again.
The only things that Google takes into consideration from day 1, and will do so always are VALUE and ORIGINALITY. If your content is 100% original and has valuable relevant information, Google will help you rank on its own. If these 2 components are missing from your foundation, you can try any and all strategies to generate traffic to your website, but you won’t get anywhere without paying.
As I said, the days of mass-submitting articles is long, long gone. Nevertheless, you can still draw traffic by writing articles. There are some simple steps you have to follow though.
As we discussed before, mass-submitting is out of the question. Another thing that’s important is that you should only submit your articles to the top directories (Ezine, Quora, etc). This will save you time, as you will get much better results much faster.
You should also try and get your articles into other areas. Try getting your material posted on other people’s blogs, newsletters, forums, newsgroups, etc.
Many beginners will face problems when writing an article in terma of structure and maybe not having enough material for 400 words. A good method that I had used when I was first starting out is repetition through structure.
What I used to do is start my article with something like “Here’s what I’m going to tell you…” Then you state what you’re going to talk about. After that first paragraph (make it look natural) You can start another one in the middle of the article with something like “Now I’ll explain exactly…”
When you’re near the end start a paragraph with “So, here’s what I just told you…”
This way you should get to 400 words without any problems.
Another important element of article writing is your bio-box. That’s a small section at the end of a blog post where information about the article’s author or your offer is displayed. Keep the bio-box short and sweet. For example, it can read something like this: “Do you want to learn how I solved this problem? Click on the link below to find out.”
Even if it’s got a bad reputation over the years, article marketing is still a legitimate way to drive traffic that keeps working. All you need to do is check out some of the directories for yourself…they’re packed. I’m talking hundreds of thousands of visitors. So, that many people in one place is a market in itself. Just imagine writing something that would catch the eyes of 15 or 20% of the audience….it could mean you hit the jackpot.
In part 3 of our Strategies To Generate Real Traffic To Your Websites series we will be talking about blog hopping, which is a very effective method to generate quality traffic that search engines recognize and consider legit.
