Yes, the best and easiest way to build Web site

traffic is to write articles. And save A lot of time

submitting them.

It is through well written articles and keeping your

visitor wanting to learn more that you will see more

traffic on your Web site. More traffic means more

profit for you.

There are many reasons why you need to write articles.

Here are just a few. 1. It is easy to do. You can

write articles based on your area of expertise or

niche. Even if you are not an expert you can learn by

surfing the Web. Reading a few articles on the subject

will enhance your knowledge to allow you to write an

article.

I feel that an article should be more than 400 words

but leas than 1500. Unless it’s a sales page you will

tend to lose your audience with more than 1500 and not

build Web site traffic.

2. You will get a pre-targeted audience. People who

read your article are those who are interested in your

target. Once they are interested, it doesn’t take much

to get them pre-sold, increase your Web site traffic.

And then ka-ching - a sale.

3. Better links. One of the ways that search engines

give a site higher rankings is based on the number of

“back links”. If those reading your articles are

interested they will check out your Web site and

bingo, you have another back link.

Links back to your site give more points to your

rankings then those from your site to other Web sites.

4. Need a call for action. In most of your articles

you need to let your readers know what you would like

them to do. Either sign up for your e-zine, go to

another page that will pre-sell them or purchase a

product. In most articles you will have a way to use a

“resource box”. This is where you will put your “call

to action” as well as possibly a little bit about you

the author. Here is my resource box for my orchid site

articles. “Sign up for tips in our monthly Orchid

Newsletter and get your copy of “All About Orchids” e

-book and your 10% Discount on an orchid.

I find that the best way for me to write an article is

to read 3 or 4 articles about orchids or internet

business. Once I finish this I usually have a good

idea about what I will write about. Possibly then read

a few more articles on the topic and begin writing and

watch the Web site traffic increase.

At times, some webmasters don’t have the time to

write. There are many free lance writers out there who

will write articles for you and not charge a lot of

money. Some examples are Elance and Rent A Coder.

Once you write an article I suggest that you submit it

to article directories. These are some of the best

places for “new visitors” to find out about you and

what you are saying. Once you get it into the

directories you will notice an increase in your Web

site traffic.
