Methods to increase traffic to your site

Every webmaster knows that it is difficult to increase traffic to a web site quickly. It takes awhile for a web site to get listed and indexed, and for the results of all your hard work to show. Everyone who builds a new website for affiliate income is anxious to jump start that process, and one of the best ways to do that is by writing articles. The only thing required by this approach is the basic idea, some good writing skills (or the ability to hire a competent ghostwriter), and someone who can publish your work. Since it costs nothing to promote a web site by using articles, this approach is ideally suited to those beginning affiliates and small businesses who have limited budgets.

Of course it is important to use only private label articles for your web site content. Private label articles are articles on which you can attach your name as the author, without the need to actually write them yourself. Private label articles are a big benefit, because those articles allow you to add an author resource box, which in turn will link back to your squeeze page and allow you to capture more list subscribers. There are several web sites that sell such private label articles, but our favorite is http://www.YourOwnArticles.com.

When creating articles to increase traffic to your site, the resource box is your key to success. Editors of article directories are always looking for fresh, interesting content, and submitting the articles you create for publication is one of the best ways to drive traffic to your site. Using a resource box will encourage users to click through to your site and learn about what you have to offer. This type of linking to your site not only drives traffic to your site but it can increase your ranking in search engine queries as well.

The use of the resource box is a win/win situation for both web publishers and writers. The publishers get the content they need to provide fresh, interesting material for their readers, and the affiliate gets the exposure he or she needs through the resource box. A typical resource box contains some basic information about the author and a link to his or her site.

One note about using those articles, and that resource box, to drive traffic to your site. You need not be Hemmingway to submit interesting, quality articles for publication. The alternative that many successful affiliates use is to purchase private label articles Buying a private label article allows you to put your name on it as the author, and put your name and ad in the resource box. This is a very important distinction. When working with articles it is always preferable to use only private label articles.

In order for your articles to be effective traffic drivers, it is important that the resource box you use is well written and informative. A good resource box should contain the address of your web site, preferably in the full http://www.websitename.com/ format. If you drop the http: or the www, popular word processing and email programs may fail to recognize it as a web site address and highlight it as such.

Submitting articles to newsletters is another popular way to get exposure for your site and drive traffic to your door. Editors of online newsletters are always looking for free content, and providing that content, with the inclusion of your resource box of course, is a great way to get your web site in front of as many eyes as possible.

Once you have found the best newsletters for your particular area of expertise, the next step is to arrange them in order of number of subscribers. Since your ultimate goal is to drive more traffic to your sight, it is obviously better to focus on the larger newsletter on your list. Submit your article to that newsletters, wait for it to be published, and then carefully track the traffic that is generated.
