Traffic Generation For Your Website Through Article Marketing

Getting traffic to your website should be one of your primary concerns. Without traffic then you will have very little success with Internet Marketing. If you are like me when I first started out online, then you do not have a large amount of money to throw at Google AdWords or other paid advertising methods. How can you get traffic to your website without paying a lot of money for advertising?

Search Engines

Getting a high page ranking with the search engines will help get your webpages higher in the search results. Ranking # 1 in a search result is a very good thing, because then you will get traffic to your website from the millions of people that use the search engines everyday to find information. You also need to make sure your website is Search Engine Friendly (SEF) and Search Engine Optimized (SEO). You can find out more about SEF and SEO by clicking on the letters SEO in the Tag Cloud or by selecting Search Engine Optimization in the Categories drop down menu.

This post will focus on page ranking and how to get a higher page ranking with the search engines. The best way to get a higher page ranking is to get many link backs from websites that have high page ranking already. I am about to share with you a great way to get these links and best of all it is free!

Article Marketing

You may be wondering what is article marketing. This is when you use articles that you write or have written for you to promote your website, webpage, product(s) or service(s). You can also use Private Label Rights (PLR) articles for this purpose, but you must make significant changes to the PLR article in order to use it for this purpose. It is best to use original content that has not been already used thousands or millions of times by others.

Select articles that compliment what you want to promote. You can use broad topics to promote your website, but use more specific article topics to promote a single webpage or a single product. Select a keyword or key phrase for the topic, then use the targeted keyword or key phrase to SEO your webpage that you want to promote. Make sure the keyword or key phrase is used several times in the content of the article and in the title of the article.

Forums and Groups

Then you need to do a Google search for forums or discussion groups that relate to your topic. Search for “topic + forum” and insert your topic and use the + sign and the quotation marks as shown. This will narrow your search. I would recommend using FireFox as your web browser and use the Add-on called SEOQuake. These tools are invaluable for finding a high page ranking website.

As you search for the forums and groups using FireFox with SEOQuake added and enabled, you will notice the Google Page Rank is shown with every search result. It is the first statistic in the SEOQuake bar shown directly under the search result and has a “g PR” for the label. You want to find forums and groups that have a page ranking of 5 or above. The higher this number the better for you.

Open the links from the search results in a separate tab so you do not loose your search results. Bookmark the forum or group so you can return often. Sign up or register for an account with the forum or group. Make sure you read and understand the rules and guidelines for posting on the forum or group. Create a bio if available and make sure you create a signature with your name, website and promotional link. Here is an example:

You may have up to 5 lines of text for your signature depending on the forum or group. Start out by making some replies or comments to other posts. Try to appear helpful and knowledgable about the topics of the forum or group. Never spam or post repeated promotions with no good content. I am sure you have seen something like:

good post!

Check out my website……..

People will become annoyed with such posted comments and you could get banned from the forum or group. Look for topics that ask a question, and then try to answer the question if you can. This will build credibility and get you a positive impression with the regulars. After a few comment posts, then you can try an article post or a topic post. Most forums or groups do not allow active links in the body of the post only in you bio and signature. Make sure you follow the rules and guidelines for each forum or group.

I wish you success in all your legitimate business ventures and in your every day life too!
