Content Is King !
There are literally thousands of website owners who use a very
asimple technique to generate targeted visitors to their web
sites without paying a dime in advertising! Yes, that statement
sounds unbelieveable but it is true!
What is their method?
They create highly focused articles that they allow other people
publish in their ezines (online magazines and email newsletters)
or post on their websites. This method is very powerful! You may
be asking yourself about now, "Why would an ezine publisher or
website owner want to publish my articles for their
subscribers?"
The answer is simple: Content!
There are over a 100,000 ezines and newsletters covering
everything from A to Z. Many of them need tightly focused
content and they don't have the time or inclination to produce
it for themselves. You can get termendous exposure and traffic
to your web site by providing valuable, content-rich articles in
exchange for a "about the author" box and a link back to your
website (sometimes called a "resource box")
The following represent only a few of the enormous benefitsof
writing and distributing simple articles online:
1) Attain "Expert" Status
In the eyes of virtually everyone who reads your articles you
rank as the "expert" on the subject.
2) Pre-sell Your Website Visitors
If your article appeals to a niche audience hungry for more
information on a very focused subject, you actually can pre-sell
them better than any sales pitch
3) Your Traffic Will Last Longer
The Internet changes very quickly and webmasters are usually
very slow to remove content from their sites. Once you get an
article posted on another person's website you have an excellent
chance of that article staying there for weeks, months, even
years.
4) Increase The Number Of Links To Your Web Site
In-bound links help in searchengine positioning because they
increase "LinkPopularity."
5) Helps You Build a Huge "Opt-In" Email List
You can use articles to build up a huge list of subscribersby
simply compiling several articles into an email course and
delivering them at preset intervals. This technique also allows
you to capture their name and email adress so you can send them
articles and other special offers in the future (with their
permission of course).
So if you operate a website selling virtually any type
ofproduct or service (whether your own or as an affiliate),
publishing and promoting these products with informational
articles should rank high on your list of traffic generation
strategies.
No other method of generating targeted traffic to you web site
provides you with the quality and quantity of traffic that
providing free article content does.
