Article marketing is one of my favorite forms of web site promotion, because for me it has one of the highest conversion rates of everything I do. I get some of the most targeted web site traffic from article marketing, and that is one of the things I like most about it.
When I first got started in internet marketing, I got involved in all kinds of traffic. Exit traffic, expired domain traffic, traffic exchange traffic, safelist traffic – all of it came with big promises and guarantees – but none delivered. I spent a lot of money there, just thinking that if I had enough traffic, I could win the game. But I could not win the game with raw traffic alone – I needed targeted traffic that wanted to hear from me, and read my articles, web pages, ebooks and information.
Well, I kind of stumbled on article marketing for traffic. You see, I had heard that article marketing was good for getting a high search engine ranking in the big search engines, so I started writing a few articles and posted them to like 100 different article directories. And in a few weeks, I had a number one ranking in several of the search engines for a few keywords. But the real awakening for me was the direct traffic I received when submitted articles to the big three article directories in terms of traffic.
By submitting articles for direct traffic instead of links, I receive targeted traffic that wants to learn more from me.
