Article Marketing is a great tool to use when it comes to adding traffic to your site. If you are not familiar with what it is, Article Marketing is simply writing articles and submitting them to article reprint directories on the web.

As you’re likely aware, fresh new content on your website or blog is very helpful with getting higher search engine rankings. Many webmasters and bloggers who are looking for new content to add to their sites visit article directories to find it.

When you submit an article to a directory, you are allowing other website owners and bloggers permission to add your article to their site - for free. However, they need to include an ‘about the author’ box at the end of the article.

You get to write what you want included in that box, so include a bit of information about the product or service you offer and include links to your site.

When the webmaster uses your article on their site, they need to include that information and the links which will be in front of everyone who sees the article on their site. If you write a good article, it can end up on hundreds of websites with thousands of people reading it. Naturally, many of them will click the link to your website for more information.

There are plenty of article directories to choose from on the web. All you need to do is search Google for ‘free article directories’ and you’ll find a bunch. Some of them will be topic-specific (say, health or finance related articles for example) while other are more general. You can submit the same article to multiple directories to get the best exposure. In fact, you can even get software that will automate the process for you.

Choosing a topic for your article is quite simple. What is your website about? Think of something your visitors would be looking for and then write an article about it. For example, someone who sells Tupperware could quite easily write about any food-related topics or even something a little further afield such as organizing your home.

If you’re not a natural writer, don’t let it bother you. There are plenty of places you can hire writers that will “ghostwrite” your articles for you. The cost will vary, depending on the quality of the writer, but you’ll generally pay between $7 and $15 for a 500 word article. If you really want to be hands-off, you can even outsource the submission of the articles and just sit back and watch the visitors arrive on your website!
