Article Marketing to Gain Website Traffic

When beginning a business on the internet today, it is easy to be overcome by all the advertising expenses you need to attract traffic to your new website.  It is always beneficial to be able to get great, effective advertising at no cost.

One of the best ways to market your website for no money is to use article marketing as an advertising method.  Article marketing is a valuable technique to use to get visitors to your website without incurring any expense at all.  If you can write a decent article and have good use of the English language, then you can do article marketing. 

Essentially what you need to do to achieve success with article marketing is to create articles for free and publish them on content article websites.  You can produce articles on any subject you like, preferably one that ties into your website.  You then submit the articles you created to the free article websites.  Then, in the resource box built into the end of your content article, you simply insert a link back to your website.  When someone reads your article and wants to know more about you or more information, they will click on the link.  This thereby gains you more website visitors.

Each article you write should be about 400-700 words in length and well-written. You should pay special attention to spelling and grammar because you want your articles to appear professional.  Your articles will be more presentable to readers if there are no spelling errors or obvious grammatical mistakes. 

It is important to have your articles concentrate on subject matter that is appropriate to your website’s theme so that you attract the right targeted audience.  Someone reading an article on ’child care’ will be more apt to follow the link to your parenting website than if your link directs them to a website on dog care, for example.

Insert keywords into your content articles that will also connect to your website.  Again, that will aid in attracting the right type of visitors to the article they wish to read and then on to your website.

Try to make your content article one that your readers will enjoy reading, and one that will benefit them.  Try to include up-to-date tips, information and hints that your readers and visitors can use.  Use a fresh approach to an old theme or pick a targeted feature for your subject that may be unique.  For example, create an article around “Learning Disorders” instead of simply an all-purpose article on ‘Children’.

A title says a lot about an article and helps to get a reader’s attention.  Choose your title carefully and select one that will grab their attention.  In describing your article, use a narrative that will attract readers.  You should never just insert your first paragraph in the description box, but write a compelling narrative that will make your readers want to read your article.  Make it attractive to attract the most amount of readers possible.

With article marketing, the best results arise with the more articles you write.  Aim to write a lot of articles and commit to submitting them to various content article websites every day.  A decent showing would be to try to create and submit at least one article per day to one of the various article websites.  The more articles and the frequently you submit them, the better. With numerous articles leading back to your website, the better results you will see in getting more website traffic.

If you feel that you do not have the time or talent to write the number of articles you need to be successful with article marketing, then one option you can use is to hire a writer.  You can hire a freelance writer to create a number of articles for you to submit to websites to help attract website traffic to your site.

Achieving success with article marketing takes time.  But with great writing—and quantity—article marketing is sure to pay off in the end.  It is a great way to get free advertising and website traffic that will help make your website successful.

Introduction to Business Blogging

Business blogs are primarily used to improve a company’s communication both internally and externally. Business blogs are a type of communication channel that could be used effectively in product launches, team interaction internally within the company or interaction between clients and company. With the level of interactivity blogs provide, clients feel more confident in the company. Not to mention the amount of traffic it brings to the main site.

 

Personal and business blogs: What is difference between two?

There is not much of difference between personal and business blogs visually but there is a fine difference between them in terms of reputation and brand attached.

Business blogs should be well planned before hand. Companies can’t afford to just walk away after launching their blog. business  blog has to be successful. Constant and consistent posts are the rule of the game. Blogsphere is full of best writers and faster one learns their rule, better for them. Companies can’t just rely on the fact that they are market leaders in their business so they will be successful with their blogs too. 

The postings on business blog should be open and should portray personality of the writer and the company. The postings on business blogs should be very informal, and should be written in first person voice. Posts should be informative and relevant with an expert touch to it.

Business Blogs and it content:

According to search engine optimizers, “Content is King”. Indeed this is true for websites but not for a blog. Blog is all about writing with a particular voice and personality. A lot of people would like the style and would stick to the blog with regular visits. A lot of them will hate it and would never return.

Content for a business blog should be written in a strong voice with high consistency in quality. It becomes somewhat difficult to maintain quality with regular postings, but no choice. A few bad or substandard posts and regular visitors to the blog will fly off.

Important

Don’t hammer your visitors every time with posts like how great is your product and so on. Add some funny incidences or bit of humor to your postings. Talk something about how employees enjoyed drinks in a party organized at particular department. Add some lighter moments in between posts.

Micro-Blogging on Twitter

There’s a hot new trend going on right now and it’s called micro-blogging. So what’s a micro-blog? And moreover, what’s Twitter? Twitter is a micro-blogger platform that allows users to create entries that are only 140 characters in length. These entries are referred to as “tweets.”

 
Originally designed to keep friends and family up to date on what you’re doing, Twitter can also be a great place to share your latest book project, promotional ideas as well as interacting with fellow tweets (folks who twitter) and writers. And yes, you can have a blog and a Twitter page. I have both but I feed my blog into my Twitter site so that my Twitter page gets updated each time I add new content to my blog. There’s an easy application to add your blog feed to Twitter, it takes just minutes to do. Head on over to: Twitterfeed.

 
To sign up for a Twitter account just complete their short sign up form. Remember to brand yourself! This is important. Once you create a Twitter account you can’t go back and change your name so find something that works for you. Maybe it’s fictionwriter or businesswriter or whatever you want. My Twitter page is bookgal which is fun play on words for what I do (and what I love). Once you have a Twitter account you can immediately start tweeting. The service is completely free and you can also keep up with other people’s tweets by “following” them. Their micro-blog entries will show up on your Twitter home page so you can easily keep track of them. You can also be notified by phone when they add a tweet. You can twitter from anywhere, even your phone. I’ve been known to twitter from my blackberry.Why on Earth Would you Want to Twitter?

 
When Twitter first started, people were a little perplexed. I mean why on earth would you want to blog in 140 characters? Well since the site emerged in 2006, it’s grown enormously in popularity. With Twitter pages from sites like CNN and every one of the political candidates, the site’s popularity can’t be overstated. Nor can its applications for the future. Also, even if you don’t have a ton of people following your tweets, keep in mind that Twitter search sites are popping up everywhere. This means that if you tweet using keywords that matter to your reader/market, you could be found and followed! For one such search site check out: summarize. Also, if you’re trying to gauge the popularity of a certain word or phrase and how often it’s being used or referred to, you can head on over to Tweet Volume and find out. Just plug in your search term or terms and up will pop a list of results!Most Well-Known Twitter Users

 
• Many organizations (such as the Los Angeles Fire Department) have embraced the technology and put it to use in situations such as the October 2007 California wildfires.
• Higher education is also using the technology to relay important information to students in a more timely manner. The University of Texas at San Antonio College of Engineering is one such example.
• Several U.S. presidential campaigns use Twitter as a publicity mechanism, Ron Paul, John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton all have Twitter pages.

 
• Media outlets such as CNN have also started using Twitter to break news.How to Use Twitter Effectively
If you’ve pondered using Twitter but aren’t sure how to use it effectively, here are some quick tips to give you some great twittering-ideas:
• Teach stuff - teach a little mini-lesson on Twitter. Delve into your area of expertise or just talk about book publishing and how to get published.

 
• Showcase your book - don’t do this in a “my book is so fabulous” kind of way but offer to give advice (like I mention in Teach Stuff) or share with your Twitter followers how the promotion of the book is going.
• Use Twitter as a news source: you can easily announce news both from your world (as long as it relates to your topic) and from the world of your expertise. So for example I’ve done tweets on book industry stuff, breaking news, etc.

 
• Widen your network - follow other Twitter folk, this will not only give you some ideas for your own “tweets” but it’s a great way to network with other writers or professionals.
• Keep the buzz going when you’re on the move - it’s hard to keep blogging when you’re on the road (trust me, I know this first hand) - so when I travel, I tweet. I share what I’m doing, what’s happening in my world and try to offer insight and advice.

 
• Market yourself - remember that while Twitter may seem like a fun little tool, it’s also a great way to market yourself. Just like the ideas we mention above, there are a hundred+ more things you can do.Golden Rules of Twitter:
Here are a few rules to live by when tweeting:

 
• Be Original, useful and helpful.
• Every Tweet counts (don’t tell people you’re washing your cat) don’t just tweet on useless stuff or you’ll lose followers.
• Ask questions: you’ve got a network (or you want one) now use it! Ask questions, take surveys, get your followers involved in your message and marketing!

 
• It’s not all about you (again, back to the cat) people want to know useful stuff, I know, it’s getting repetitive but there’s a reason: it’s important.
• Promote your Twitter account in your email signature line and on your blog.
• Network: don’t expect your followers to grow if you’re not following other people. Network, search for others in your area and follow them.

 
• Personal is ok. Even though I said not to post useless information it’s still not a bad idea to (from time to time) post a personal Tweet or two. Provide value and twitter-followers will beat a path to your door.
• Keep Twittering, followers will come if you keep updating your Twitter account.
