Submission of Articles for Maximum Traffic

 Submission of Articles for Maximum Traffic






Submitting content to search engines is a tried-and-true method of increasing traffic.  It has been employed since the early days of the Internet and is a viable traffic generation tactic even in our Web 2.0 era.

There are many misconceptions about the best way to submit articles for maximum traffic and performance.  What are the most effective and efficient techniques?

The first method is to submit your content to EzineArticles, The first approach is to submit your material to EzineArticles, the father of all article directories.  This website has established a reputation as the greatest article directory in town.  It's popular among marketers, readers, and, most importantly, Google.

Many marketers are frustrated because they are unable to follow the submission standards or meet the timeframes for article approval.

However, if you read and follow their requirements, your articles will be accepted without a hitch.

You will immediately reap the benefits of having them in EzineArticles.  Even without backlinks, articles in this directory tend to rank quite well in Google.

With a few backlinks, your articles are suddenly ranking in the top 10 for fairly competitive keywords.  They can typically rank well even without backlinks just because they exist on EzineArticles.

Once your content has been published, you should conduct some simple backlinking to it to help it rank higher in search engines.

First, publish your EzineArticles author RSS feed to RSS directories.  You have the option of using a tool or doing it by hand.  If you're doing it by hand, simply select the top ten directories from a Google search for the time being.  You can always submit more later, so keep note of which ones you've already submitted your feed to.

You may also ping your content using one of the various ping sites.  This not only benefits EzineArticles, but it also increases the visibility of your article.

Finally, share your content on social media.  Again, you have the option of using a tool or doing it manually.  If your content is newsworthy and well-written, consider submitting it to sites like Digg or Stumbleupon to gain more links and exposure.

There are other article directories, of course, but none bear the weight of Ezine's articles.  Google Knoll is a contemporary challenger that is popular among marketers who use it to publish their articles.  So far, these do not appear to rank as well as EzineArticles, but it is a nice method to get the Big G to notice your sites.

Except for the top half-dozen huge directories, it is not worth submitting articles manually to the other article directories.  Many of the others receive so little traffic that it isn't worth it, except for the backlink.  As a result, you should outsource or automate these submissions to free up your time to focus on growing your firm.

If you're submitting articles, make sure they're on EzineArticles for optimum exposure.  Simple backlinking to your content will quickly have your articles ranking well for their keywords and providing you with a lot of traffic.
