How You Get Traffic from Your Articles

By: Matt Bacak

First, you should submit your articles to all the popular article directories. When webmasters and ezine publishers look for free content to reprint on their websites and in their newsletters, they turn to article directories.

In exchange for the free content, they agree to leave the article intact and include your resource box. This is where you get your traffic. Every time someone reprints one of your articles, your resource box is included with your name and a link to your site or an affiliate site.

You should start with 10 articles. That will get you started as an expert author at EzineArticles.com, the number one article directory on the Internet.

EzineArticles.com alone gets about 40,000 visitors every day, so your articles are very likely to be picked up and reprinted by several publishers.

Here are the top places to submit your articles:

http://ezinearticles.com

http://articlesfactory.com

http://articlecity.com

http://articledashboard.com

http://goarticles.com

You can find more directories by searching on Google. But I highly recommend you start with the list above.

I personally use them myself.

If you want to get to the top because you’re seeing your competition dominate you in your niche, it’s time to take action!

So, let’s just say you’ve submitted an article to an article directory site like ezinearticles.com but you were seeing someone else in your niche dominate you in the search engines. Well, it’s time for you to knock them out of that top position and take over. How do you do this? It’s simple!

If you want your article to appear at the top of the search engines all you have to do is blog that link! Basically, every article that you post to an article directory site like EzineArticles.com (which gets huge traffic I might add), you simply place a link to that article on your blog. For example, if it was www.Ezinearticles.com/adoption/how_to_adopt_a_child, because that’s your niche, if that was your actual article, then you should go and blog that link. Whatever that link is where your article is located you blog the link. But just make sure when you do that you sound very natural in your recommendation for your visitors to visit that link. Whatever you do don’t sound salesy or desperate to get the traffic.

Say something like: “Hey, check out these pages. I was doing a search on Google and I found these sites where people had posted information about me. I’m so flattered. You should go check them out.” Basically what I did that for is not for people to go check them out – I really didn’t care about that. What I did that for is so my sites would be pulled up higher in the search engines. So, when I did a search, I would be at the top of the search engines in my niche and my competition would fall in their rankings. This is an excellent strategy that has always worked for me. If you check out my blog at MattBacak.com you’ll see several places where I’ve used this strategy… and it works like a charm!

So, go and find all the links out there that are indexed with Google. For any of your competition that has started to creep in on your space use this strategy to pull you up higher in the search engines. Your competition will have no idea what hit them ;)
