Writing Articles For Traffic

by Michael Pearson

If you are looking for traffic to a new site writing articles is one of the best and affordable ways to get it. The article must be content rich and provide genuine value to the reader. You need to stay on topic and stick with the theme. Depending upon your niche, research will go a long way.
You can begin by typing your niche into Google. Look at the results and click on some of the sites. Many sites offer free information and often free reports (usually as an opt-in). A couple good quality reports could build several articles with substance.

This strategy is not a do it once and forget it. You must stay at it and create value to share with others. Your articles will be out there for a long time, many being picked up by sites looking for quality content. These will provide backlinks to your site and Google likes that.

The internet is the information superhighway. People use it to search for information on a given topic. The more targeted and content rich your articles the greater value Google will give them. Google is the daddy of search engines so it always prudent to give them what they want and need. Yahoo and MSN also have search engines but nothing compared to Google.

Put your keyword in your title and disperse it several times throughout your article. Then when people search for that keyword or keyword phrase your article appears. The more times it comes up the greater your influence with Google, meaning more traffic!

Some authors will use bullet points to present their message. It might be "7 tips to creating an article" or "9 things you must do to have and effective article". Regardless of your template, keep keywords, then benefits, then keywords in your title and the body of the article.

Remember, you do not need to be an authority on your topic. Know a little and research it and you will have enough information to write a book. Then you will become an authority on the subject.
