=====================================
Did you realize that thousands of website operators use a simple
technique to generate targeted visitors to their websites without
paying a dime in advertising? It's true.
In fact, the technique works so well that many of them don't want
you to discover how they get those thousands of website visitors
and make so many sales on virtual "auto-pilot."
Their method? Creating tightly focused articles other people publish
in their ezines (online magazines and email newsletters) and post
on their websites.
This method rates so powerful that some even call it "the web's
best kept traffic secret." Now, you may ask, "Why would
an ezine publisher or website owner publish my articles for their
subscribers?"The answer: Content!
Over a 100,000 ezines and newsletters operate on the web (along
with millions of websites) covering everything from pets and cooking
to investments and real estate. Many of them need tightly focused
content and they simply can't produce all of it themselves. Look
at it this way... it's the same reason newspapers use the Associated
Press. Individual newspapers often can't afford staff writers to
cover every story, so they accept articles from outside their organization.
You can do the exact same thing for various ezines and websites
catering to your niche audience! You can get valuable publicity
-- exposure you often couldn't even pay for if you wanted to --
by providing valuable, content-rich articles in exchange for a byline
and a link to your website (called a "resource box")!The
following represent only a few of the enormous benefits of writing
and distributing simple articles online:
** Attain "Expert" Status **
Let's face it! In the eyes of virtually everyone who reads your
articles you rank as the "expert" on the subject. Just
look at people who write newspaper columns. You may disagree with
their viewpoints, but they still have an elevated status in your
mind compared to the "average Joe" off the street.
** Pre-sell Website Visitors **
If your article appeals to a niche audience hungry for more information
on a very focused subject, you actually pre-sell them better than
any sales pitch. In their minds, you've already delivered content
they really want so when they click over to your site you already
have a "reputation" in their minds.
** Traffic Lasts Longer **
Even though the Internet changes very quickly, webmasters are usually
very slow to remove content from their sites. Once you get an article
posted on another person's website, you have an excellent chance
of that article staying there for weeks, months, even years.
** Increase Links To Your Site **
In a recent search I found just a dozen of my articles posted on
over 813 different websites! Not only do those postings bring me
traffic, but they also help my search engine positioning because
of my increased "Link Popularity."
** Builds Your Affiliate Base **
Fact: Affiliates always take the path of least resistance. If you
provide excellent articles they can easily post on their sites or
copy and paste into their ezines, your affiliates will promote you
more often and more effectively compared to those who don't give
them tools. Plus, as you make more sales and publish articles, other
people will see you providing excellent tools and will want to sign
up as your affiliate so they can use them too!
** Build a Huge "Opt-In" Email List **
You can use articles to build up a huge list of subscribers by simply
compiling several articles into a series and delivering them at
preset intervals. Often called a "mini-course," this technique
allows you not only to prove to your subscribers that you deliver
great information, but enables you to capture their name and email
adress so you can send them articles and special offers in the future
(with their permission).
** Requires No Special Skills **
People often think they need to be a "writer" in order
to publish articles, but that's not true! FACT: If you have a passion
for a subject and can talk and explain things like you would to
a friend over a cup of coffee, you can write articles people will
love to read.
So if you operate a website selling virtually any type of product
or service (whether your own or as an affiliate), publishing and
promoting with articles should rank high on your list of traffic
generation strategies. No other method of generating targeted traffic
to your website provides the quality, quantity and steadiness of
traffic in such a simple, straightforward, and cost- effective manner.
