Everybody who runs a website looks out for various ways to bring free web traffic. However, in order to make the best use of your sincere efforts in direction of getting more and more traffic to your website, it is very important for you to understand that, there are certain myths associated with the same and you have to make sure that you are not getting into its nasty trap.

Secret to Bring Huge Web Traffic to Your Website

You must have come across a variety of websites, trying to sell you the secret to bring instant massive web traffic to your website. Let me tell you the truth that there is no magic button so far, pressing which will generate huge web traffic for you automatically. The only possible way to bring free web traffic is to invest a great deal of sincere efforts in running the various online website promotional campaigns.

You will have to be very consistent in your effort. No one-time effort will bring ongoing free web traffic for your website. The continuous building of web traffic is always the result of your continuous efforts. For example, it is essential for you to keep submitting articles to free article directories, using squidoo and various other time-tested proven strategies and techniques.

Submission to Thousands Of Search Engines

Another popular misconception regarding the free web traffic is that, just submitting to a large number of search engines is enough. However, the truth is that, no matter how many search engines you have submitted your website to, the result will not be very exciting. What is more, if you have been using Internet for some years, you probably know that there are mostly half a dozen search engines that are frequently used by the online users. Even, among these half a dozen search engines, Google covers the ninety percent of the market. Therefore, even if you have submitted to thousands of search engines, you will still be required to use other website promotion techniques, in order to bring free web traffic.

Guaranteed Hits at A Limited Price

There are a lot of websites available online, who claim to offer you thousands of guaranteed “unique” hits at a limited price. These are just some unscrupulous ways to build profits from you and not to build traffic for your website. As said earlier, you should always remember that, when it comes to generating free web traffic, there is no magic key.

You can get targeted web site traffic and make your website successful by building links to your site. One way to do this is by article writing.

Writing Good Quality Articles To Get Targeted Web Site Traffic

It is obvious that good quality articles get read more often. By submitting articles to article directories, however, you face the possible risk of your links being filtered out by the search engines, especially if your article is not so great. But a good quality article, submitted especially to article sites can go a long way in getting your website free targeted web site traffic. You can aim for two things here – one is to get back links out of the sites which republish your article with your resource box and the other is find good websites that will reproduce your article.

Once you submit a good article making sure you’ve got your resource box in place with the relevant keywords, you will be found by other webmasters who will want to republish your article in their newsletters and send them out. Through this, you will experience a rush of free targeted web site traffic since the webmaster’s recipients will click your link provided in the resource box of your article. This way, you get linked to good quality sites and rise in search engine rankings as well. What if the search engines filter out your link? You will still continue to have the links where your content is published.

Now lets see, you’ve got targeted web site traffic. Go a step further and contact the webmasters who republish your articles. They will probably be interested in doing it on a regular basis. By retaining your active links along with the articles on their sites, you will ensure getting targeted web site traffic when the people who click those links arrive at your website. This is a very effective way of building links to your websites. Continue to produce good quality content that is unique and relevant to your website and it will be a great long term method that will serve you consistently.

You can also look at various other sources to obtain web site traffic through your articles – namely article directories, link exchanges with sites that relate to yours, listings in site directories, etc. The main thing here is to submit excellent quality articles.

Do you know the one secret to getting non stop traffic? If you don’t, you’re probably not getting it, are you? Interestingly enough, it’s really simple – and yet so complex that most people who want to make money on the Internet miss it entirely.

The secret to getting non stop traffic is giving your visitors a compelling reason to continue to come back to your site.

Put yourself in this situation. Pretend that you have a site that receives 10,000 visitors a month from natural search engine traffic. Let’s also say that this site has no mechanism for recycling traffic. Could you make money off of that traffic? Of course, you could.

Now, let’s say you have some recycling mechanism, such as a forum or an automatic “favorites” pop-up. And let’s say that you are able to effectively recycle 70% of your traffic. Assuming your natural search engine rankings don’t improve, you will receive 10,000 unique visitors the first month. The second month, you will receive 17,000. The third, you will receive 24,000. The fourth, you will receive 31,000 – and so on.

Do you see the power of this technique? All you have to do is give visitors a reason to keep coming back; and you can do that in a number of different ways.

One way is to offer some service that they can’t get in many other places. Perhaps you could offer free image hosting. Another way is to setup a community forum, which will keep traffic returning again and again. Additionally, you could offer a free URL cloaking service or dynamic content that is updated on a daily basis.

Whatever you do, provide excellent content and tools for your visitors and they will return again and again, increasing your traffic each month, rather than leaving it stagnant, as it was in the first model.

Article marketing is most probably the most effective link building strategy in existence. Picture it this way. Article directories allow you to include a resource box for every article you will submit. Inside this resource box, you could include a link to your website. If you will submit just one article to 100 article directories, you will in time receive 100 back links to your website (in theory, sometimes not all of them are picked up by the search engines). There are thousands of article directories in the World Wide Web!

Now, if you will submit, say, 5 articles to a hundred directories, you’ll get close to 500 back lines over time.
The best part about this strategy is that quite a number of article directories have high page ranks. We’re talking about PR4, PR5, and on occasion, PR7 websites! Having a link to your own website in a website which has a high page rank would give a significant boost to your own pages’ search engine standing!

All seems rosy with article marketing, but as with everything else, there are doubts as to its real nature.

Let’s have a no hold barred, truly in depth discussion about the matter, by asking the questions you always had in your mind but had no opportunity to set loose. Let’s begin.

1. If I submit the same article to many article directories, won’t it violate a search engine’s policy against duplicate content?

No, it won’t. Since we’re dealing with high ranking websites, the search engines would assume that the submitted content is their original work. This is the reason why a lot of article directories are pretty confident about the articles they display. The problem that they encounter, really, is with regards to the credibility of their services. They don’t want to be known as a repository of junk content, that’s why they have outlawed the posting of PLR articles as well as articles imbued with affiliate links.

2. Does this mean that I could submit articles which I have already posted in my own web pages?

No! Since the search engines would assume that the higher ranking websites are the originators of the content, your web pages would be distinguished as duplicates, and this could possibly lead to the de-indexing of your website. You wouldn’t want this to happen. (Please see comments below for more debate on this point)

3. Could I submit as many articles as I could to as many article directories as possible?

Yes, you could! In fact, this is very much advised, to build up your link popularity and secure for your website a great page rank.

However, please bear in mind that search engines, and Google in particular, become quite wary about a website that suddenly experiences a great increase in the number of its back links. It is advised that before you submit another article to the article directories, you have to wait for at least 3 weeks after your last submission.

4. My page views are quite low. Does article marketing really work?

Yes, article marketing does work! If your article’s page views remain in low levels, ask yourself the following:

a. Is the subject of your article interesting enough? Does it cater to a wide audience?
b. Is your title enticing enough to merit a reading of your entire work?
c. Is your article informative enough to merit recommendation?
d. Is your article readable enough to give your audience an easy time in digesting the information you want to share?
e. Does your resource box/autor bio compel the reader to click on your link

These are the factors that contribute to low page views. Doing some necessary editing to correct these problems can dramatically increase the number of times your article would be viewed. Additionally, some article directories really attract a few visitors. But the popular ones like www.ezinearticles.com , www.goarticles.com and www.isnare.com should give you hundreds of readers in a month’s time.

5. How sure am I that my article would be kept intact by people who would use it in their own websites or eZines?

You can never be sure. This is why you have to run your own check from time to time. Search for unique phrases in your article, and click on the results. Determine if the webmaster honored your resource box. If he did not, you could ask him to include the same, or you could file a complaint with the article directory so that they themselves could act on the matter. Vigilance is the key.

Have a great day.
