I really don't have the money for PPC right now and I need some traffic so basically my question is how exactly does article and blogs get traffic? I keep hearing about these methods but I don't know how they bring in traffic. I need traffic for clickbank and CJ products. What do I need to do to get started?
Well blogs get traffic from different social bookmarking sites and rrs feed sites. When you write a blog entry it pings different sites and lets them know and crawlers crawl your sites and update the feeds. Article writing is a very popular method of getting keyword specific traffic. Most articles are less than a page between 300-700 words. You can write an article about whatever product or service you are trying to promote then submit your articles to different article directory sites like http://www.ReadEZArchive.com and Ezinearticles.com. be sure to include your website and affiliate links in the author bio box. Then people will search for whatever keywords are throughout your articles, and hopefully they will click on the links when they're done!
You might want to take a look at http://www.learntoearn101.net/search/label/Traffic As for article writing, the e-zine article sites all have a Resource Box or Author Bio box. You put your site link in there. Such as "The author has written many articles on xxxxx. For more informaton, visit his (her?) website at http://xxxxxxxx"
cheap cost-free method is to write articles and submit them to ezine articles site. You will get traffic from your links in the article.
