There are at least 3 important factors needed to make money on internet: content, traffic and traffic conversion. Some people got frustrated because they felt they knew how to make money on the internet and yet they failed to drive traffic to their money sites. No traffic = No traffic conversion. There goes their dream to make money from home.
If you asked me how to increase traffic to your site I would say there are many ways to increase your website visitors number, however the key to your success is not the quantity. It is the quality – the targeted website traffic that will bring you money.
One way to get a good amount of targeted web traffic is by doing a PPC campaign but if you have no experience with it your money can be easily gone. I’m not an Adwords expert so I prefer the traditional search engine optimization method. It takes time and efforts but at least it’s free. The higher the search engine ranking the more chance I get traffic to my sites. Please don’t mix this up with the famous Google Page Rank because they are completely two different animals. It is not uncommon to see a site with lower PR outranks other sites with much higher PR in Google.
Some internet marketers prefer article writing to increase web traffic to their sites and the most popular article directory to submit article so far is EzineArticles.com, however you can also submit your article to other article submission directories such as GoArticles.com, ArticleDashboard.com, ArticlesBase.com or ArticleAlley.com. You can easily extend this list with the help of Google.
Article marketing is a serious business. There are companies offering article software (most of them are for articles spinning purpose), article submitter service, article submission software or even free article submission service. All aiming at traffic as well as backlinks. People developed those services because frankly article marketing can be really tedious for some people. For those of you who hate to spend hours looking for ideas you can use free articles available online and rewrite them in your own words (take note that ezine articles wants original contents only so make sure you follow the rule) before sending the articles to the article submission sites. Other option is to pay a ghost writer to provide you a unique article.
If you are looking for an easier way to do article marketing you should consider using video to do article marketing, especially for people who have no time or don’t like to write their own articles. There are some benefits you don’t get from the traditional article marketing:
- No worries about duplicate content penalty issue. You can take your blog posts and convert them into videos in seconds.
- Grab your articles you sent to Ezine Articles or other article directory and turn them into videos.
- Use free article contents from public domain instantly. No writing skills needed unless you want to spice it up a little bit.
- Get traffic from video sites like Youtube, MetaCafe and other video submission directories. With over 1 billion views per day (from October 2009 data) you should really consider this option: That’s at least 11,574 views per second!
