Article Marketing for Search Engine Traffic
Copyright 2005 by Richard Rose
There are sites on the net that serve tons of traffic everyday.
Traffic you wish you had, right?
The web is made up of billions of links, much like a spider's
web but on a larger scale. Search engines spider the web looking
for new content to add to their massive databases so they can
rank how relevant it is to particular search phrases.
What are the search engines looking for? New content! In
order for any search engine to provide relevant results to their
visitors (so their visitors will repeatedly use them) they must
provide the best results possible for every search performed on
their site.
The best search engine gets more traffic and more traffic means
more advertising money for them - so search engines have to be
up to date to stay competitive in their market.
The big sites on the net, people, who have page rankings of 5
upwards, obviously serve a ton of visitors per day, provide
search engines with a mass of links to follow and index. That's
why they go back to the big sites more often than the little
ones.
High traffic, very popular sites are visited by the search
engine robots more often than sites with little traffic. Some
large sites are visited by search engines as much as 2-4 times
per month.
How can article marketing increase your search engine
traffic?
By submitting articles you can get links from these high traffic
sites. Furthermore you can optimize your articles with your
search terms to get high rankings for that particular page. This
would otherwise take weeks on a new site as oppose to a well
established one such as this.
Each of these sites will have its own resource area, at the end
of the article, writers include a bit of Author information on
where to find out more about them. Place your website link in
here and bob's your uncle the search engines will find your site
through that link. The more articles you submit with your
website link in them, the more pages on the net you have
pointing to you from high traffic sites and the better your
ranking and link popularity.
Many good article sites these days create RSS feeds for each
category. This provides an additional opportunity to market your
site and article to people who subscribe to the feeds. Start
submitting your articles today. You will be amazed at the
results they yield.
