    use a good social bookmarking site and you will get your traffic! also content is king! you must write your content in a very appealing way to the readers -combine text with images that will help very much! the problem with social bookmarking is they don't give you permanent traffic, you must always write and write and write until you drop... and even then.. write and write again!

    I recommend this technique:

    you do some keyword research and find what keywords have high traffic yet low competition

    then put these keywords in your title

    so let's say your niche is
    "Texas Actors" <--[dumb example :rolleyes:]
    you find a long tail keyword that says
    "Movie Stars From Texas" and has 100 searches a day, but 3 websites competing

    just put that keyword in your title
    and 3%-7% of your article [roughly every 12-33 words]

    I've always focused more on the link generating power of articles, but I guess you can get a more or less steady stream of visitors, if you write enough quality articles. Remember that you may also get visitors from the sites that publish your articles.

    Anyway, if there's a secret in it, it must be article quality. The better articles you write, the likelier a reader is to check out your author links. The other thing to keep in mind is this: try to write a stream of articles, and publish them regularly. The most recent articles are shown on the front page of article directories, so publishing them regularly may drive traffic to your older articles.

    Article directories are a lot of work for not so much payoff. Either you end up writing garbage articles, or you end up giving away your best stuff. Either way, you are better off using other methods to promote your stuff. Keep your content to yourself, and find ways to push your ad budget high enough to hit critical mass.

    highly unlikely...unless your article gets picked by the likes of google.
    I do like 3-4 articles a day and the best I have done from them is about 200 hits (not clicks).

    Has anyone done better??

    that's not true man.
    I can easily pump out 50 articles in one day, that bring in traffic to my website.
    It's all about putting your personality on very general information.
    All you have to do is keep the person's attention for about 400 words and have an appealing author's bio box for them to click on.

    so instead of:

    write
    Chris Knight believes article marketing is so easy a caveman can do it. In fact, a caveman can get rich and teach you how to do it!
    Article Market like a Genius [or caveman]

    that's just an example
    so yep.
