Link Building SEO

Greg Swan — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:28:38 +0000

The SEO Of Link Building

One of the most important parts of an effective SEO strategy is link building. Creating back-links to your website is one of the best techniques to increase the quantity of visitors that your potential websites get on a daily basis. But, the question is: which links are most effective?

Website owners argue about this. The truth is that all links are effective to a certain extent. If you happen to only create links from one social network or website, then you definitely have basically put all of your eggs in one basket.

To continue with this scenario, if you happen to go to a race track and you spread your cash around, betting on a number of different horses within the same race, your odds of winning some money will improve. Without a doubt, at the track, you will definitely lose money on the horses that don’t win.

Unless you pay money for back-links, there is no way that you can lose. Posting at a few of the directories is a waste of effort, in my view, because they don’t allow relevant links within the text or they don’t contain an author’s resource box towards the end of each and every article.

So let’s talk about some effective link-building SEO tips.

Find related websites and invite them to trade space. You allow the website owner to put a link on your site. He permits you to place a link on his.

Create a daily blog with links to your website. Provide helpful information associated with the products that you sell or promote on your own site.

Write informational articles and post them at EzineArticles or Go Articles, or any of the many top article submission sites online. Posting is free and each of the ezines allows back-links within the body in addition to the article resource box.

A note about link-building relating to social networks. It is imperative that you have enough confidence in your products or the ones that you are promoting to encourage your friends and family to order them.

If you don’t possess a FaceBook and a Twitter page, then you are a bit behind the times. Pinterest is the latest thing, nevertheless for user friendliness and beginners, I would suggest FaceBook, first.

The more links that you truly have linking to your site or blog, the better your website can rank and the more traffic you can receive. You can’t have too many links as long as they happen naturally over a period of time. If you happen to also have outgoing links, then your site will most likely rank higher within the search engines.

How To “Borrow” Other People’s Buzz TODAY (Think Traffic!)

By Jimmy D. Brown

Did you know that other people “warm up” your customers for you with their “big product launches”?

And, did you further know, that a huge opportunity for you to create sales for YOUR product or a product you promote as an affiliate can be the result?

If, that is, you “borrow” the buzz that other people are generating.

Imagine this scenario…

Mr. Marketer creates a new $2,000 product. He “launches” it with his friends. Everyone on the forums is talking about it. Every email sent out within the marketplace has something to say about it. Bloggers are raving. The whole industry is buzzing about the new launch.

The average conversion rate is 2%. And that’s not on $2,000 products. But, let’s assume that Mr. Marketer is the best in the biz. And he can generate something obscene like 25% conversion rate on a $2,000 offer (which, by the way, ain’t likely to happen).

IF that were to happen, the flipside is this: 75% DON’T BUY.

In other words, for every 100 visitors to the “launch” site, 75 of them walk away without buying.

Were they uninterested? If that’s the case, they likely wouldn’t have visited the site in the first place.

In the majority of the cases, they $2,000 price tag was out of their reach. Not in the budget. Don’t have the money. Been there, done that … didn’t have the cash to buy the t-shirt!

So, what can we learn from this?

We can learn…

* These 75 out of every 100 who don’t buy are probably interested to some degree.

* These 75 out of every 100 have heard all of the buzz and have been “presold” on the premise of the product.

* These 75 out of every 100 are strong candidates to buy a lower-priced, related alternative.

That’s where YOU come into the picture.

You “borrow” the buzz that’s been generated for the big product being launched by talked about by everyone as you promote a lower-priced, related alternative!

Here’s how you do it…

1. Look for high-dollar launches in your market.

The first step is to keep your eye on the pulse of your market. Whenever a major new product is being launched, get busy. You’ll usually know days, if not weeks, in advance because that’s how launches work: they do a lot of “pre” build-up work to get people salivating for the eventual launch. Keep your eyes out for anything new in the works.

2. Promote a low-cost alternative.

It doesn’t matter if you write a quick 10-15 page report, promote your own existing product that is related or grab an affiliate link to some other existing product or service. It doesn’t really matter WHERE you obtain this lower-priced alternative. The important thing is that you find one. It needs to be related to the topic of the big product being launched. It can be related either (a) by teaching a similar concept, or (b) teaching a portion of the big product’s concept.

3. Write a mailing that explains the two options.

You’ll want to write a mailing to send to your subscribers or to post at your blog. This mailing needs to contain three important elements…

- Content that presells. Share some meaty nuggets related to the offer you are ultimately going to promote to set the table.

- A small blurb about big launch with your link. Mention the “major” launch briefly. Describe it’s benefits and use an affiliate link of yours to point to the offer. Mention that it’s only drawback is “price”. Express that many people can’t afford it.

- A stronger promotion for your option. Then, really hit home with this “lower-priced, related alternative”. Let them know the benefits are similar at a fraction of the cost. Be sure to point out that it’s priced for everyone — especially those who feel “left out” of the big budget launch because they can’t afford it.

Then, it’s just a matter of getting that mailing out to your subscribers.

Let’s look at what you have in place as a result of this strategy…

* You have two promotions: a minor one for the same “major” launch everyone else is promoting, and a “major” one for the lower-priced, related alternative.

* You have “borrowed buzz”. Everyone in the marketplace is warming up prospects with all of their “talk” about the importance of the subject matter of the “big product launch”. They are primed and ready to buy … something!

* You have a spike in sales coming.

This is a wonderful strategy for getting extra sales.

Remember, there are always a whole lot more people who DON’T buy the product being offered in the “launch”, than those who do! You’ve got a huge pool of prospects in the 75-98% of people who don’t buy the $2,000 offer. Many of them WILL buy a lower-priced, related alternative.

So, the only thing left for you to do is get started.

And if you’ve like a shortcut, let me show you a quick way to do it TODAY.

You have almost certainly seen that Product Launch Formula 3.0 (PLF3) has launched this week. Everyone is talking about it. While there are a lot of different strategies and ideas involved in a “launch”, the backbone is the same…

*** Other people send you the majority of your traffic.

It’s obviously a very *HOT* topic right now. People are scrambling to pay BIG BUCKS for the course.

But…

Do you think everyone can afford it?

What about the tens of thousands of internet marketers who can’t afford it, but who ARE INTERESTED in the subject?

What a shame to let them sit by without getting any sales from them!

But, don’t worry — you CAN get sales from them! Here’s how…

You offer them something for PENNIES on the dollar that provides the same end result: other people sending them traffic for their products and services!

A few days ago Jimmy D. Brown announced a resale rights offer for his SalesArmySecrets.com course.

All the details are at SalesArmySecretsLicense.com

There are still licenses available for YOU to grab in order to sell a low-cost alternative to the high-dollar “launch” product that everyone is jabbering about.

***BUT IT GETS BETTER — FREE PLR to $20 Report! ***

Jimmy wrote a report several months ago which he briefly made available to one of his membership sites. It’s entitled “How To Get R.I.C.H. With Your Own Affiliate Program”.

(It was pulled after a month and is no longer available anywhere.)

The report is 21 meaty pages in itself, but it also strongly promotes the Sales Army Secrets course at the end.

When you order one of the remaining licenses for Sales Army Secrets, Jimmy is going to give you (no cost!) a free PLR license to the special report!

You can sell the report for $20, give it away, do whatever you want with it (as long as you don’t misrepresent it or mention Jimmy in reference to it)…

…while using the endorsement at the close of the report to promote YOUR COPY of Sales Army Secrets!

It’s a ready-made marketing report to get people to buy Sales Army Secrets from you! You can sell Sales Army Secrets for $97 per order and keep 100% of every sale!

Here’s what you need to do…

1. Order the Sales Army Secrets resale rights license at SalesArmySecretsLicense.com

2. Register and open a ticket at Jimmy’s support center at http://www.Infoprofitshare.com and provide his staff with a copy of your receipt.

Within 24 hours someone will send you the download information for this special Free PLR offer.

That’s it!

Get one while it lasts…

SalesArmySecretsLicense.com

There’s only ONE catch…

This special offer is for the next 3 days only. On Friday, July 2nd at 10PM CDT, Jimmy is shutting down the license offer and this Free PLR offer. They will no longer be available. Officially “retired” at that point.

Grab yours now: SalesArmySecretsLicense.com

Then you can quickly “borrow the buzz” of those promoting PLF3!

What is Target Marketing?

Greg Swan — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:19:04 +0000

Target marketing consists of finding a niche market and advertising in places where that group is likely to hang out. There are many tools that you can use to find your niche.

Demographics are among the tools that business owners and advertising agencies have used for years. Not only to identify a niche, but also to decide where their advertising dollars are best spent.

In the offline world of advertising, demographics are sometimes used to decide where to put billboards or send coupons via regular mail. An advertising agency might study the demographic profile of a population according to sex, race, income or age.

When it comes to television advertising, selling ad time to a specific company often requires being able to tell that company “who” is watching the show. Phone surveys are sometimes conducted to get this information.

Even the amount of time that a person spends commuting to and from work is a demographic. Items that would be appealing to people with long commutes would include audio books, head phones and fuel efficient automobiles.

Companies that advertise online use target marketing concepts when they choose specific websites based on the website’s content or the age group that finds the content appealing.

For example, pharmaceutical companies do a lot of advertising on WebMD. Investment companies often advertise on news related sites. Toy companies and video game manufacturers advertise on game sites. You get the idea.

Small businesses with limited advertising dollars often partner with other businesses in order to contact their niche via email. They might use programs like Google AdWords to help them stick with their advertising budget, but still reach the customers they are looking for.

In addition to using demographics, marketers use another concept called psychographics. Psychographics is a less well-known term. It has to do with classifying a market according to their interests, activities, attitudes, values or opinions.

Just as an example, the major breweries advertise during football games. While not all football fans drink beer, many of them do.

Drinking beer and watching football are two activities that seem to go together. It’s like baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and one of the major car companies. That advertising campaign targeted a number of different psychographic profiles, including those that are patriotic.

Some online marketers use keyword research to help them find their niche. They can find out what the competition is in certain markets and choose one where there are very few competitors.

Target marketing may have changed with the popularity of the internet. But it hasn’t disappeared and it probably never will.

Create A Readers Community With Newsletters

Greg Swan — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 20:54:37 +0000

You realized at the onset of your business, that to create a profitable venture, you would need to direct traffic to your website. You set up a marketing plan and you continued to tweak your business to allow it to grow. But, if you haven’t considered providing a newsletter, now may be a good time. It can help cash flow because it allows people to feel connected to you and to each other.

Your website is your main operation. It’s a portal for your visitors to access the information that you provide and to tell them what you are about. Newsletters are meant to give additional information and to let your readers get to know more about you, and to feel like they are part of a larger group of subscribers.

When creating a newsletter, try to leave some room for things that subscribers would find interesting even if they’re not part of your mission statement. It’s a way to “make friends” with these people and to show your gratitude for their loyalty as subscribers and customers. If they’re not already customers, reading the newsletter regularly may very well lead them to that.

Put anything you don’t have room for on your website into your fun and informative newsletter. It can be anything from a one pager that you email directly to those who subscribe, to a PDF format that can be attached so that those who receive it can click and read it.

If you want to customize your newsletters, there are several options for making them more useful and entertaining. If you want to provide more information in an easily shareable and printable format, saving in a PDF file is a great way to encourage readers to spread your work to their friends. This way they can download the PDF, print it out, and share it with their friends, which could allow your newsletter to become viral.

However, PDF formats can’t handle video or animation, so if you want to provide these as a special benefit to your readers, you may want to consider doing so by creating a “Subscriber Only” section on your website. This section would give them access to newsletters that contain video or animation not available on a PDF. This engages regulars and makes them feel wanted, while not intimidating newer readers who may prefer a simpler format. Ultimately, the choice is up to you.

Using your newsletter is a good way to recognize those readers who want to be known. Their names can even be listed so they can be honored as being part of the team

If you’re wondering what your newsletter should contain, think about giving little information bites that keep subscribers informed and connected with each other so that everyone feels like they’re linked in to something important. In our current social media driven world, everyone is looking for a connection. You can let your visitors become part of your readers community by subscribing to your newsletter.

Feature: We Are Internet Based Moms

Greg Swan — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:54:10 +0000

Internet based moms are those of us that have our own online businesses. We do different things to make money, but we have one thing in common. We all have websites.

The idea of building a website may seem like a daunting task. You might think that you need to learn HTML or some other kind of code. Today, you don’t even have to know what HTML is.

There are some excellent companies that provide webhosting and everything that you need to build a website. But, building the site is only part of the equation.

You also need to know how to build your business. Building the website is the easy part with today’s software. Unless you learn how to drive traffic to the site, you have a hobby, not a source of income.

Taking care of our kids is our first priority. Many of us gave up promising careers, because we felt it was more important to be with our children full-time during their formative years.

The thought of working a part-time job may have crossed your mind. That would mean that when Dad comes in the door, you head out. That’s not a good option if your marriage is important to you.

It is also one of the reasons that the number of work from home moms is growing. In fact, our numbers have grown so much that we have our own acronym. It’s WAHM (work-at-home-moms).

Some of us tried selling jewelry or Avon. We hosted parties and did presentations in our homes. Not only were those things less than profitable, they disrupted our family time.

With an online business, it is possible to work whenever you choose. You can work during the baby’s naptime, after the kids are in bed or while they are at school. You can put in as many or as few hours as you like and you will still earn money.

You can become one of the successful work from home moms. The first step is to find a product that includes everything that you need to do it.

Don’t invest in site-building software until you have done some shopping around. An all inclusive program is the best choice.

You want to keep your start-up costs as low as possible. If you choose one company for hosting and another for software, then you will spend more than you need to.

Internet based moms also need marketing advice when they are starting out. The best programs provide that, too.

Use Your Signature Lines to Your Advantage

Greg Swan — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:05:14 +0000

A signature line is good for more than your name. Some people don’t even use them because their name shows up in the email header information. For an online business owner trying to build their business, avoid overlooking such a helpful tool.

When you learned to write a letter in grade school, it always included a salutation at the end with your name. This ending in electronic arenas is referred to as a signature line. If you haven’t been using yours, you might be missing out on free website promotion.

Think of all the places that you are provided with the option of using a signature line:

Email
Forums
Newsletters
Text messages
Social networking sites
Instant messages

A signature line doesn’t just have to be used for just your name. Include your website information here. When you choose to have your signature automatically added to each email, text, forum post, etc. everyone gets to see and read it. Regardless of whether they are personal communications or business, your little personal billboard goes with them.

On forums, using a signature line is paramount. Most forums do not allow you to advertise, so this is your way to let people know who and where you are and what you are doing. As they see you more and more in the threads, they will take an interest and look for more information from you.

How is that for free advertising with minimal work? So, to use it effectively, make every word count. Of course you will have your name first. You can also precede your name with a traditional salutation if you choose. Common ones include:

Sincerely,
Best Wishes,
Warmly,
Have a Great Day, etc.

On the next line add your website link. Because it is a link it will automatically appear in blue and be clickable to those who see it with most email programs. Most people can’t resist the blue. They’ll click out of curiosity if nothing else.

What’s next? You can put another link if you have more than one website or if you have a blog. Some businesses have a tagline as a part of their brand. If you have one, use it on the next line (in quotations) below your website link.

Don’t feel like you have to keep your signature the same forever. You can change your signature line as you need to in order to keep it fresh and alert others to anything new and exciting you may be doing. If you create a new website, feature that link in your signature line for awhile so others can click and find out what you are up to.

Signature lines can even be added to your mobile phones. This works great for text messaging especially. While most people will put personal signatures in their text message, take a minute to decide if your website would be a good fit for your text messages.

Do you use social networking sites? These have proven to be great tools for business marketing but with a signature line, you are giving yourself that little bit extra to get noticed.

What are you doing with your signature line? If you are leaving it off, rectify the situation right away. It could be costing you a lot of free traffic.

How Important Are Reader Relationships?

Greg Swan — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:42:04 +0000

What are some effective ways that you can use to build trust with others? You must first learn about them and get to know them. Of course, it is much easier to do this in person, but with a little effort, this can also be accomplished on the web. But, why would we go to all of that trouble?

Building quality relationships with your readers is a very important part of your business. The main goal of our website is to make a profit. To achieve this you will need to direct traffic to your site. But, you will need more than just random visitors.

Let’s take a look at this scenario. You have launched a fantastic new product. You create a massive advertising campaign to market your product. This results in an increase in your unique visitors by 100% (quite possible) and a huge jump in sales, just in the first few months of the launch.

Please realize that this staggering bump in one time sales is short lived. Let’s say that you made record profits in each of those first few months. It still would not carry your business through the remainder of the year when you experience decreased traffic due to the fact that you had no returning customers. That is no way to operate and grow a successful thriving business.

A better way would be to establish a flow of repeat customers each month. You accomplish that by building relationships with every one of them. You don’t have to be on a first name basis with them, but you need to pay attention to them and give them a reason to return.

Your readers are more than just random visitors coming to read your latest article, they are searching for information, help or something else. They may be interested in what you have to offer, but if they don’t feel appreciated, they probably won’t hang around.

Let’s look at a few reasons why reader relationships are so important to your business:

Everybody has friends. Every visitor to your website has a sphere of influence with a certain group of people. If you can build a relationship with them, you can tap into their sphere, connect with new people and multiply your efforts.
Profitability. If you can establish trust with your visitor, you are more likely to be able to convert them into a customer. A good relationship can also keep them coming back as a repeat customer.
Making connections. You never know who you will meet when establishing relationships with your customers. You may connect with another online business owner who can provide organic back-links to your website. You may be asked to write a guest post for a fellow blogger. People who frequently add social bookmarks to your website content can help to boost you to expert status.

Building relationships with your readers involves getting to know them, finding out about them, learning what they want, and interacting with them. Give them a reason to trust you and let them know that you appreciate the fact that they visited your site. Like most things, it’s easy to do and also easy not to do. So take action and start connecting.

What’s the Best Website Creator?

Greg Swan — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 00:19:39 +0000

A website creator is one of the first tools that internet marketers need to create an online business. One of the other essential tools is a hosting service.

In order to compete with the millions of other online businesses, entrepreneurs need to learn about search engine optimization and building content. They need tools that will help them to build their business, not just build a site. Sitebuild It provides all of those tools.

Building a site is the easy part. Anyone can do it. Building a business is the hard part. No company can do it all for you. But, SBI does more for their customers than any other company out there.

They provide the hosting service.

If you have considered one of the free blogging tools, such as WordPress, you know that you need a hosting service. What is the value of a website creator if you do not have a hosting service? There is none. Your pages will not go live until you have hosting.

Sitebuild It provides the software.

In addition to providing affordable hosting, SBI provides the software businesses need to create a functioning website. You do not need to know HTML, FTP or CGI. You do not need any programming skills or a degree in graphic design. If you already have FrontPage, Dream Weaver or a comparable site-building program, SBI is a compatible with those programs.

Sitebuild It provides blogging tools.

The latest business blogging tool is called an RSS feed. With most blogs, your frequent visitors must continue to check back on a regular basis to see if you have created a new post. Research indicates that most visitors read only the latest post. Few take the time to read the entire blog.

An RSS feed notifies your visitors when you have created new content. It is better than blogging in many ways. But, if you want, you can still use WordPress and other blogging tools with SBI.

SBI provides education.

Education is what is missing from the average website creator. The step-by-step instructions may help you build a site, but they will not help you get your site noticed.

In order to attract visitors to your site, you need to understand how the search engines work. You need to do certain things when you are building your site and continue to work at driving business to it, as time goes by.

Sitebuild It is the only website creator that provides search engine optimization tools and the education that you need to use them. In short, it provides every tool that you need to start or grow your business. Take the SiteBuild It 2.0 Video Tour and see for yourself.

Promote Your Site By Creating Videos

Greg Swan — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:23:23 +0000

The web is loaded with visitors trying to find information on a myriad of subjects. Articles pertaining to just about any topic are available and are usually the first type of content that they will find. But, there are other options available when it comes to delivering content. You can use videos to get there attention and attract more website traffic.

We are not talking about a major motion picture here so you can relax. Using computer software located on your laptop and desktop, you can create your own video. If you have a webcam or a USB connection where you can hook up a webcam, you have the tools needed to create your own unique video.

Since it is your business, who can tell your story better than you? Tell visitors about your company or website and all of the benefits associated with it. Video is a great way to showcase your expertise.

For some relevant examples, take a look at YouTube. There are tons of videos available for internet visitors to view. Search YouTube for any videos that may be related to your niche. Depending on your topic, you will probably find many similar videos. Watch these videos to see how they are presented and to get ideas on how to create and present your video.

When uploading your video to a site, be sure to check the guidelines of that site as many will have different rules. Be sure that you read all the fine print before making a video to upload. Videos that don’t follow the parameters of a particular site may not be accepted.

You can also upload your videos directly to your own website. Here, you can share videos of any length you choose for your visitors and customers to enjoy.

Create great-looking video web pages without needing a lick of HTML! Make video sales letters, video opt-in pages, video postcards, etc! Get started today with Instant Video Web Pages

***************************************************************************************************

Videos present information in a quick and easy format. Web surfers want information and they want it fast. If you can create a video that delivers the information in an informative, quick and simple way, you will be giving your visitors what they want. If you can do this on a regular basis, your readership will increase as many will bookmark your site and return for future information.

If teaching is your passion, you can concentrate on creating how-to videos. Demonstrate your expertise by showing how to use a new product, put together a podcast presentation or methods for researching keywords.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice making videos. Get started by creating a few sample videos. Check out your appearance, listen to how your voice sounds and decide what will be the best style for your presentation. Your best response will be to a voice that is relaxed and conversational. Avoid big words if smaller ones will get the meaning across just as well. Compare your video to other similar videos and determine what you liked or didn’t like about each video. Think of your audience as old friends who you may be talking to at the kitchen table or on the front porch.

Experiment with your footage. Use editing software to delete mistakes and splice together the good scenes. You don’t want the camera to swing from side to side making the audience feel like they’re on a rocking boat. You also don’t want the images to be too dark so that visitors can’t make out what is going on. It takes practice to get things just right, but it won’t take long. On the other hand, don’t be so picky that your video will never be good enough to publish. Don’t get discouraged, just stay the course and continue to create and tweak your presentation.

Make It Unique

As you probably have noticed when searching YouTube, many types of video presentations and styles have already been created and presented. Finding a unique hook to gain traffic as well as using keywords in the title will be extremely beneficial to you. You want to engage the reader and grab their attention from the start.

Try not to make this be a chore. Have fun with your video presentations. If you find your subject matter interesting, your audience will too.

Advertise

Make sure to include your website somewhere in your video. Not only mention it, but also include the url link in black and white so visitors can immediately have access to your site.

Use your social networks to tell others about your videos. Invite friends and associates to check out your videos and then ask them pass the link on to their friends. Also encourage comments. Welcome any constructive criticism that can help you improve your video and your overall presentation.

While content is still king and a well written article is golden, adding video media to your web promotion toolbox is a great way to go. If you haven’t already, give video a try as part of your website promotion efforts.

Get Targeted Traffic Using Article Directories

Greg Swan — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 01:03:30 +0000

Most people that search the internet are looking for information. When you provide the information that they want, you can lead visitors back to your website repeatedly. If you are a writer or blogger, you can use your skill to promote your website through article directories.

Article directories are sites where writers, companies, and bloggers submit articles based on a specific niche. Website owners can visit article directories to find useful content in their niche. Web surfers can also find this content during their topic searches.

As a website owner, you can use article directories to funnel targeted traffic back to your website. Get into a regular routine of posting your own content in these directories The process is not hard as long as you follow the submission guidelines of the directory. Note that while most article directories have rules that are similar, make sure to read the rules of each directory as some directories may be different.

The simplest way to create content is to write about something that you know about or you have experience – your niche market. Within those parameters you have plenty to work with. You can write about business ideas: starting a business in your niche, defining your niche and promoting your business. More articles will probably be generated on your business focus. For example, if your focus was fishing: Titles such as “What lures to use for Smallmouth Bass” or “ How to catch Crappie” would be great topics.

Driving Traffic To Your Site

Make sure your articles have an engaging headline. Include the same keywords that you use on your website. Articles that include bulleted points or steps are always an eye catcher. The reason is that bullets or numbered steps are easy to skim or read quickly. The quicker the reader can get the information, the better.

Use keywords throughout the article. For an article of 400-500 words, a particular keyword can be mentioned about five or six times to be effective and not considered “keyword stuffing.” If you are using multiple keywords, you may want to write a separate article for each. Note: Don’t sacrifice the readability and quality of your article by overdoing it with keywords. Use common sense.

Submit your content to popular article directories. Some people may have their favorite sites like Goarticles.com or Ezinearticles.com to find helpful information. There they can search within the site to find helpful articles for a particular topic. If they find your article in the directory and it gives them some of the information that they need, they may look for other articles that you have written. Once they have some information from you they can use and trust, the chances of them following through to your website to learn more increase.

Use your bio or signature box. This is an extremely valuable tool for free website promotion when writing and submitting articles to directories. Here, you have a chance to tell readers what you want them to know about you and your business. Best of all, you can include links to your website here for readers to follow. And on top of that, you’ve just created a back-link to your site.

Even with the increase of audio and video as promotional tools, written content is still king on the web. Submitting quality content to popular article directories is a great way to get targeted traffic to your website.
