Backlinks There is no better whitehat method to obtaining backlinks than Article Marketing. I recommend using a free article directory that offers good PR and high quality traffic. As soon as your article gets approved you will start to see traffic to your article and your site. Don’t waste your time with spinning your articles, it doesn’t work. A top Article Directory will not approve spun content.
Traffic Always make sure you put a link to your site with the proper anchor text in every article you submit. It is better to use anchor text, but it is not necessary if you’re going for direct traffic. The reader is alread interested in your subject or they wouldn’t be reading. Once again, if your article is garbage there is absolutely no reason for the person to click your link. Submit expert articles!
Reconition Published articles can only add to your expertise. Users that read your content will associated you with the topic you’re covering. However, be warned that this is a two way street. If your article has poor grammar or doesn’t make sense the reader will assume you don’t have a clue. You can always hire a professional to write your articles for you. There are many services that offer article writing that are very inexpensive.
Eternal Every month your article will still be out there, still gaining backlinks for your site. People can’t help but link to quality, interesting content. You would have a hard time finding a well written article that does not receive traffic and backlinks. Of course, if the article is bad you will gain no benefit. I know it is very difficult to rate your own writing ability, ask a friend or family member to proof read your work and give an honest assessment. Your content can be exceptional but if your writing is poor you are doomed.
Knowledge When you begin writing your article you’re also gaining knowledge on your subject. This knowledge is invaluable for your current and future websites. Seldom do I write an article about a topic and don’t think of a new website to create or an idea to further my web presence.
Help People Some of the most visited articles help someone with a problem. Next time you have to fix something, take notes and write an article on what you did to fix the problem. If you have the problem, someone else does as well. Help them fix it and get quality backlinks at the same time?
This list should give you a good start. Just to be clear, the most important part of the process is good content!
