Hello All, I started a blog and i am planning to get it going(traffic) by submitting articles to article directories like ezine and 100 others out there. My problem is that do i need to write 100 unique articles to be submitted to these directory. Well if i can spend that time writing articles for my blog, atleast that would be a treasure it seems. I am bit confused on article marketing strategies. Can anyone let me know your comments? Thanks.
Here is my idea. Make sure that the directories are quality directories, and you do not need 100 of them unless your blog has a particular product to sell. But if you are eager to do that - try articlemarketer.com as they are submitting articles to different directories for free, although it may take too long to feel the effect. Another thing, article submission for me is effective for link building only and not building traffic. If you want to have traffic on your blogs, try viral marketing. A good site is on my signature (with the black font). Don't worry, it is safe and free to join. Hope that helps.
I submit articles to ezinearticles and have no way submitted 100. Five very targeted articles I wrote send loads of traffic to my site. Concentrate on the niche and make your article titles eyecatching
