While there are dozens of ways to build traffic to your website, not all traffic is created equal. Some are more effective than others. You’d want real targeted traffic at the lowest cost possible. That is the ideal solution. Well, the best way to achieve that is through this (still) underused method called article marketing. Take a look at EzineArticles.com. Only less than 100,000 people utilize this method out of millions of webmasters. So, why is article marketing the number one way to generate floods of free lifetime traffic? The reason is that article marketing has a residual value. An article published on an article directory will stay there indefinitely, until such time if the article directory closes down (that is why I suggest submitting every article you write to a few of the more popular directories, not only to ‘safeguard’ your traffic, but to multiply your traffic sources). Not only that, article marketing is a great way to build your brand by establishing your credibility. If you can write many articles on a topic, it means you are an expert. Big players in your niche will also start to take notice of you and will contact you for joint venture deals. This is because they know you are generating tons of traffic from the articles you have written. The idea of article marketing is simple: the more articles you write, the more traffic you will get. Spend a little time each day writing a few articles. In just a few months, you will have hundreds of articles acting as little traffic generators for you. Fabian
Yes, I agree and I endorse writing original articles and submitting them to ezines, especially ezinearticles.com. If you write well and you know your topic, you'll get a well-earned and decent amount of targeted traffic to your site. I write my articles from scratch and I submit each article to one article directory manually. Newbie Shield
