Free High Quality Traffic - Just Press Submit
By Christopher Smith
Imagine getting free high quality,
targeted traffic to your
website. How much would that be worth to you? What if you could get
it for free?! Sound too good to be true? Its not!
Imagine being able to promote your website, establish credibility
and build a solid customer base just by pressing submit! You can get
free publicity by writing articles that publishers can post in their
newsletters or post on their website. By submitting your content to
article directories, you can potentially reach tens of thousands of
Internet users. If your article is good enough, you may find out
that it gets published in an e-zine that is read by millions of
subscribers across their network. How much would you pay for that
kind of exposure? The good news, is that you don't have to.
The key to finding success in
article submission starts with and ends with your content. Not
surprisingly, if your article is well written, and compelling, with
an attractive call to action, you will get the results you are
looking for.
Here are a couple of tips for you:
a) Keep the articles short. The average attention span of most
internet users is short. If you write a long expose on your product,
you're likely to lose their interest. Keep the article to
approximately 750 - 1000 words. If they are interested, your
resource box will direct them to your site, where they can learn
more.
b) Keep the article focused. Focus in on one tip or solution. Sell
the reader on the idea that you can provide them with answers they
are looking for. This will get them interested in visiting your site
to see what other tidbits of information your site provides.
c) Keep It Simple. While you may be well versed in your product and
solutions, you want to attract a wider range of potential customers.
By keeping the article in simple terms, you can attract both the
experienced and the novice to your solutions. Speak from your
experience, which builds credibility with your reader.
d) Don't gain the credibility and integrity you have built with the
reader, only to lose it with grammatical and spelling errors. Have
someone proof read your article.
e) Avoid selling. You have a website for that. Provide advice that
has value based on your experience. This will entice the reader to
go to your site to learn more. Avoid using affiliate codes within
the body of your site, since this will make your advice look biased.
Also, publishers want quality content. Sell them on the fact that
you can provide solutions to their problems, not to the product you
are pitching. Let your website do that when they visit you.
f) Work just as hard on your resource box as the rest of your
article. Your resource box provides your chance to invite them to
your site, which is how you will get instant, high quality,
targeted traffic. Keep it to a maximum of 6 lines. Remember to link
your keyword to your site. This will help improve your search engine
rankings for that key phrase.
g) Before you submit: Follow the publishers guidelines. If you don't
follow the guidelines, its likely that you will find that your
article will be deleted and an opportunity lost.
h) Use an attention grabbing headline. Like a sign in a store front
that catches your eye, if you use an attention grabbing title, the
reader will instantly want to know more.
There are several websites that will publish your articles. Go to
Google and type in the words 'submit and article + your area of
interest'. You may also want to consider purchasing Article
Announcer which will help to automate this process. While it may
appear expensive, this software package is worth it if you plan on
submitting several articles to ezine directories.
