Article Marketing For Bloggers -
4 Tips To Build Traffic For Your Blog
By Christopher Knight
Bloggers blog. That’s what they do. A blog is
short for ‘weblog’ and it’s really an online journal that can
be updated easily and frequently without any knowledge of HTML
code.
Traditionally, article marketing has been used
by authors who are promoting their books or information products.
Lately, I’ve noticed a growing trend of bloggers using article
marketing to grow the traffic to their blog and you should too.
Three reasons why it makes sense for bloggers
to engage in article marketing:
1) You’ve already got a lot of content produced
in each of your blog posts. 200 words should be your floor for
each article that you produce. In some cases, you already have
enough words per post to create 10-50 articles instantly. If
you don’t, then stitch posts together of a similar theme until
you have 200+ word articles to put into article marketing distribution.
2) A blogger has the same traffic building problems
that any typical website has, and therefore article marketing
can help your blog in the same ways it can help a non-blog website.
Benefits include qualified traffic coming to
your site year round, quality backlinks being built without
any messy recip-linking campaigns, and you’re expanding your
reach to other experts that might not otherwise have found your
blog.
3) Bloggers by nature are more Internet savvy
than your typical author. With this said, most bloggers already
understand how to create revenue with pay per click (PPC) advertising
programs.
As such, you already know how to produce keyword
intelligent titles for their articles. This guarantees maximum
traffic impact for each of your articles.
If you are already a blogger and are new
to article marketing, here’s how you get started:
1) Produce a cache of 10-25+ articles from your
existing blog content.
2) Submit them to the major article directories
and any that are niche-relevant to your field of expertise.
You may also wish to submit them to ezine publishers directly
from your niche.
3) Rinse and repeat until you have 250-1,000+
articles in distribution this year. Hire a college student or
editor if you don’t have time to get this strategy into practice
as it’ll be well worth it.
4) Watch your traffic counter slowly rise, day
by day as your articles work hard for you delivering qualified
traffic to your website year round.
Article Marketing as a strategy will not break
your traffic counter on your first month of investing in this
strategy… but, I guarantee if you engage in this strategy, your
blog will grow in traffic and popularity beyond the traffic
you were already creating by simply blogging.
You knows, you might even increase your sales,
land a new job, or improve your rank in the search engines as
a side-benefit from your article marketing strategy.
