Does article submission drive traffic???

    I need a little help.
    I used Facebook, Digg & Youtube to boost traffic to my site and I succeeded. Everyday I got 2000+ hits from these sources.
    Then I focused on article submission as I heard that articles can boost traffic. 3 days ago I submitted my article to top 50 article directories. 3 long days have gone, but didn't receive a single hit from them.

    Could u pls tell me:
    1. Does article drive traffic? If so then how many per article?
    2. When an article begins to drive traffic and how many days I have to wait to get traffic?

    Article submission traffic is more targeted compare to social netword, the conversion rate or click rate basically will be higher.

    1. Yes. Depend on your article quality, mine is about 200 UV per article within 3 days, after that the traffic is slow down.
    2. Once your article being approved, you are getting traffic

    Yes, Article Submission is a great way to increase traffic to your site. Moreover you get targeted traffic you your site with article, because when a person read your article and then he comes to your sites it means he/she is interested in your site and your services.

    I run affiliate sites and I uses article submission as one of the major source of getting visitors.

    Article Submission is really very good way for getting visitors to your site but for that you need to write a unique article which attracts visitors to come to your site.

    Article marketing is good but you need to have good quality article and have to wait for getting approved . Article marketing doesn't bring you instant traffic.

    It depends Ezinemagazines can take up to 7 days or more others can take up to 30, while some approve in 30 days. Yes you get traffic. I had and article I submited that I believe got me around 368 veiws or something like that. But I wasn't using articles that much back then.

    It can deliver traffic but not the same as the number of visitors you can get from social bookmarking and networking sites. :)

    Ya of course Article submission is the best way for increasing traffic to your site, but you have to provide quality content about your source and also it will take some time to get approved.....

    there are also some techniques you need to do instead of submitting your articles to top article site. You can join to social bookmarking and social networking sites , it can help you meet even more people and you can post links to your articles on your profile page. Networking sites can help you drive traffic to your articles.

    Publish the article on your site, then social bookmark it.

    You get more links and 100% of the traffic instead of the 3% that click through from article sites.

    I have played around with different headlines and article contents, for example news brief type information, but it all balls down to your headline. I have gotten a boat load of hits within 24hrs of my article being approved, by ajusting my headline.

    Yes, article submission can drive traffic to a site. But it boils down to the quality of the article and where you submit it. Choose article directories with high traffic.

    Article submission gives you a better and more targeted traffic than social bookmarking sites if:

    1. Your article is actually providing some valuable info and just written just for backlinks
    2. It has a catchy title
    3. Not a long story and neither a short piece of blog
    4. written in a smart and interesting style
    5. If you post to some top reputed sites like - ezinearticles, hubpages, knol, bukisa etc.

    Bet you gonna get some traffic that would convert and many people would publish the article giving you some backlinks too.

    Cheers!

    I'm interested to see how many of you guys using article spinning? I've never used it myself, but it seems so many people use it. I don't think it's a very good way to SEO myself, but as I say, let me know what you think about it...just interested!

    Articles are not driving traffic to my site but the backlinks are helping for sure. I guess it would depend on your niche as someone looking for information on how to do something may come accross the article and go to your site whereas I am offering a service where someone can't(very easily) do it themselves and I don't provide that type of information.

    I think articles are a good long term strategy to provide a steady but long lasting flow of traffic. your article needs to be good and on a decent site. I think ezine is the best so far.
