You can either do it by pay per click or using other free methods like blogging or writing articles. Every method has its own pros and cons. It is just how you manage them to your advantage.

I personally prefer growing my traffic with articles writing. Here are some things to take note when you are writing your articles. The main purpose is to provide content and interest the reader to click on your link in the resource box to go to your website. The website where they are taken to must have the same theme as the article. Readers are clever enough to see your plot to just promote them some affiliate products.

Writing more isn’t better everytime. The more you write doesn’t mean the more you will earn from affiliate commissions. There are articles which are just mass produced by some article generators. Do you think your readers are robots? Always write in the shoes of your reader and not for the sake of making a sale. This way, your article will be more inclined to solving your readers’ problem and they will buy your solution. It is a bit of a copywriting thing involved.

Spreading your articles the correct way will definitely give your article the attention it deserves and give a boost to your traffic. There are many stories about submitting the same article to multiple directories may actually do more SEO harm to your article. So to avoid this, it is sufficient to distribute your article to the top article directories with high PR and high reader base. In this way you can get readers from both search engines and the article directories. Do it on a regular basis, and you will be able to grow your traffic with loyal readers who will always buy on your recommendations.

Take action now and start to write an article on your own. If you really dread doing this, outsource it to a ghost writer but remember to check the quality of your articles before you submit them to an article directory.

Nope. Recently, my partner Jasmine has been trying some new techniques in articles marketing to drive traffic to her new website where she is promoting an affiliate product. And to her amazement, she earned her first sale from this product last night through the few articles she wrote last week. She was about to say that article marketing is dead but truely it is not. And she was really happy about it.

Article marketing is really alive and kicking for those who thinks that it is dead. I would like to say that perseverance is the key to success to article writing. Though you may not see immediate results like PPC, the efforts builds up as you write more articles.

Here are the things you gain with article writing:

  1. Credibility (People see you as an expert)
  2. Free traffic (You save a all your money on PPC and gets to pocket all the commissions with some “hard” work)
  3. Recurring traffic(People will follow to read your new published article like clockwork)
  4. Customer loyalty (People buy from you again and again whenever you promote a new product)
  5. And much more…

The best article directories you can submit to are those crowding with readers belonging to the niche you are targeting, not just those with high traffic. Those with high page rank might help to rank your articles high up in the search engines like Google where you can get more free targeted traffic. Last thing, write for human beings to read and not for the search engines.

PS. Go take a look at what Jasmine is up to at her blogging to the bank website.

Be it in affiliate marketing or simply to provide a product review.  But most people are lazy to write or they complain that writing is a chore. On the internet, there are no teachers to judge you on your writing skills as long as you do not make any serious grammatical errors. Most people are still tolerant to a bit of errors as no one is perfect in writing except writers.

To many people, a perfect solution to writing is PLR articles.

However, I choose to think otherwise. PLR articles are a major problem if they are used as it is. This create a large amount of duplicate content on the internet and Google is all out to stop this. I dont’t know about Yahoo and Msn. But to get delisted or flagged for duplicate content site spells big trouble for your website.

You will lose lots of traffic to your site if you do not have any other traffic generation methods.

The best content is created by yourself. I am not saying that you should not use PLR articles at all.

Here’s are some tips for you if you desperately need to use it.

  1. Change the introduction. Rewrite it yourself by adding some personal opinion.
  2. Rephrase some of the sentence in the other paragraphs.
  3. Rewrite the conclusion to add in some valuable personal insight to the subject.

There you have your own article created from your library of PLR articles. My experience is that the rewritten article should be at least 70% different from the original PLR article.

Who says writing is hard? You can do it too.
