Get free traffic through free article directories
Websites + Traffic + Ads/Products = Money. Each veteran internet market webmaster and blogger would certainly agree to this simple equation. Following this simple equation is all it takes to make money online.
Now that you have decided to take the challenge of making your presence online felt or that you now decided to join the blogging bandwagon, the problem you have to face now is how to bring the traffic in. There are thousands of ways to do this as there are a thousand ways to kill a cat. Some of them may cost you money, while others are entirely free.
Of course we always want to do bring in traffic without costing us a dime. So what is one way of doing it? One way of doing it is to write valuable articles for free. If you have a blog, you are forced to write articles anyway so why not make your articles valuable and submit your articles to various free articles archiving website? Submitting articles to article hubs lets you spread your message all over the internet. Other webmasters will also use your free article by placing it in their website. With them doing this you get free advertisement since most of these free article sites allow you to post your authors bio and a link to your site. As time passes these backward links will pile up and eventually push your sites rating.
Not all backward links to your site are valuable. Search engines give more value to links to your site from other sites whose content are somehow related to your site. Writing free valuable articles are so much better in promoting your site than random link exchange programs or other methods or ways of trying to improve your sites ratings since most likely web masters will only try to feature articles that they feel are related to their sites.
My blog is less than 3 months old as of the time the writing of this article but I have submitted more than a dozen articles already to different article hubs. That is why I got a Google page rank of 2 (P.R – 2) even if my site is only less than 3 months old. Some sites have been there for more than year yet they barely make it to P.R – 1. What is worse is that other sites are still at P.R – 0.
This method however is time consuming. Your patience will surely be tested as you have to manually submit your articles to several free article directories. But take heart because in the end what you are doing will certainly bear fruit.
