How to use the power of articles to drive traffic to your website?

Ok, here it is again, everyone is talking about it, all newbiesare told or have read at some point of time about it. Writearticles and publish them to article directories with freereprint rights.Yes it does work, it has worked me miracles. I started myinterior design website in September 05 and by mid October 05 itwas ranking in top 10 at MSN search engine.G...

...oogle rewarded it by a Pagerank 4, all because of the art ofwriting and publishing articles. Today I am going to show youhow articles generate traffic to your website at 4 differentlevels. Let's see these levels one by one.LEVEL 1You write an article related to a specific niche. For example Iwrote on "bedroom design and decorating ideas". Submitted thisarticle to 10 article directories which already had a decentarchive and good Google pagerank. While submitting this articleI ...

...took proper care to select the right "keywords" which wouldtrigger my article for greater readability.So on the first level I started getting visitors directly fromarticle directories who came through by clicking the link in theresource box. SO here two thing are of most importance1)A good and catchy title to your article. 2)Selecting the rightkeywords that would trigger your article.LEVEL 2After visitors at the article directories started finding myarticle, some of them used it on their own website. This helpedtheir own visitors. I got some traffic from these websites aswell and most importantly an "inbound link" to my websiteLEVEL 3This I found accidentally. A few months I wrote an article on"Google AdSense", submitted it to article directory and forgotabout it. After a few weeks I was browsing the Google resultpages for improving adsense income, I saw one of my articletitle listed at number 5 in the search results.This was a total shock to me. My article page at the articledirectory was picked up by Google. That's the reason why it isnecessary to pick article directories that already have goodGoogle Pagerank. I prefer submitting to article directories havea Pagerank of 3 or more.So on this level you start getting traffic directly from searchengine results. This strategy is also useful for affiliates. Youcan write an article in such a way that the search engines willpick up the title and rank well at the results and send thetraffic directly to the vendor's website through YOUR affiliatelink.(NOTE: Some article directories do not allow affiliate links inresource box. You will have to go through the publishingguidelines before submitting.)But there are 2 disadvantages in this method. 1)The article pagecan not rank permanently at that number. This is because, anarticle directory is a dynamic place. Every hour hundreds ofarticles get submitted there. If someone else does a good jobthan yours then you are likely to loose that position at thesearch engine results, quickly. 2)You can not guarantee than thearticle will always be picked up by search engine and be rankedin top 10. But there is a surefire way to write an article whichwill always rank well at the search engines.LEVEL 4Though I am calling this level 4 this level becomes level 1 overa period of time. This is because of all the incoming linkswhich point to your website. As you write more articles(level1), more webmasters around the world copy and paste them ontheir websites(level 2), your website starts ranking well at thesearch engines because of massive amount of incoming links. Oncethis happens you start getting an immediate flow of freetargeted traffic from search engines.A good monetization program like Google Adsense can be used toquickly convert this crowd into money.But as I said earlier there is a special way to write articles.If you want to enjoy the benefits from all these 4 levels, thenthere are surefire techniques you have carry out in a fewseconds. The best part about all these levels of traffic is, you don'thave to pay a single dime to do this stuff.The key is to write for humans as well as search engines. It'snot at all difficult. Anyone who can write and read English cando this. Even if you haven't written a single line before, youcan go ahead very fine with writing articles for attractingwebsite traffic in less than a month.I hope this article was helpful to everyone.Copyright Shrinivas Vaidya
