How To Jam Your Website With Traffic

"Traffic! Traffic! I need traffic to my website! I have been trying so hard to write articles and submit them to article directories but still can't see traffic flowing in to my website. Why?"....hear the screaming voice of many website owners who are hungry of internet traffic.

"Article" had been recognized as internet #1 marketing strategy and the most effective way to generate tons of traffic to a website. You heard about this statement before and putting a lot of efforts to write "articles" and working very hard to submit them to many article directories which you can find from internet; while waiting for your articles to be approved by these article directories, you start to imagine with smiling face:

"If those 200 articles directories which I submitted with my 3 articles, each one bring me 200 internet traffic to my website, then I will have 120,000 targeted traffic and If 10% of those visitors buy my product or click on my Adsense ads, then I will earn $$$.........".

You wait with patient and with full of hopes for your articles to be approved and drive tons of internet traffic to your website. Finally, your articles are lived on internet and you start to monitor your website internet traffic from time to time. This is the situation you may face:

Day one: 0 visitor drop by to your website. You give yourself an excuse that it only one day you articles live on internet, let wait for some times.

Day Two: again 0 visitors.

Day three has two visitors; day four has 3 visitors; day five has none visitor......day by day past.....where are those 120,000 targeted traffic? You wonder!

This time failed never mind, you try the same process again: Writing a few articles, submit them to hundreds of article directories, waiting with hopes for approval, monitor your website traffic from time to time.

"What's goes wrong.....why my articles can't drive traffic to my website?" This must be the questions come up to your mind after a few failures. If this is your case, the first thing that you need to do is review your articles. Are your articles attractive enough to lead your article readers to complete reading your article and curious enough to get further information by visiting your website through the link from your article.

In order to drive traffic to your website using articles, these steps must happen:

1. Internet surfer looks for information from internet or ezines directories. Hundreds or thousands of search results or related articles list up for the internet surfer to choose from; he or she will selectively click on the links from search results based on the summary of each search result or article which he or she thinks the links will bring him or her to the useful information he/she needs.

At this first step, you need to have an eye catching article title and summary which will draws the attention of your potential website visitors.

2. Next, your article needs to drive your readers to complete reading your article and create the anxiousness to get more or further information by visiting your website. According to the experts, good articles are articles which can connect to your audience with emotion beside provide them with necessary information.

Facts and Statistics are fine but what makes us take action is emotion. If your articles are all fact and create no emotion then who cares about going on to find more dry facts at your web site. Your articles will fall into the depths of article directories everywhere and be a big fat waste of your time and efforts.

There are many tips and tricks available from internet on how to write a killer article that will flood your website with traffic. Simply search on this article directory with keyword "Killer Article" or "Quality Article" will give you many results with useful information.

If there is a need, you might want to get help from a professional writer to write you a quality article and private label it to yours for submission. There are many good writers around where you can use their service; off course fee normally incur, but it's may gives you a good return in investment (ROI).

Do waste your time just to write articles but put your effort to write quality articles. It's true that "Article" is the internet #1 marketing strategy. Just good & bad articles that make the different.

Where to Submit My Website for Traffic and Indexing

I've been looking for a good way to make money on the Internet. There are lots of ideas out there, but most of them simply aren't for me. I don't have any e-books, products, or services to sell, nor do I want to get into the eBay game and spend all day shipping out packages. Instead, I've decided to try to set up a passive income stream by setting up a good site with strategically placed AdSense advertising blocks and Kontera links. These are two of the highest paying ad programs around, and I think I can do pretty well with them. What I have to do now is submit my website to different search engines and directories.

Some people might wonder why this step is necessary. After all, don't Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the rest automatically scan the entire web for new sites on daily basis? Well, that's a legitimate question, but there are still several good reasons why I should manually submit my website instead of letting the bots come find me. First of all, it can take a very long time for the major search engines to discover a new site. That's because there are millions of them out there, so the work is slow and painstaking. When I submit my website, I'm letting them know that they need to come check out my URL right now, which can pare down the indexing process by a few weeks.

Another reason that I want to submit my website manually is that there are lots of other search engines and directories besides the big three I mentioned above. While it's true that a majority of my traffic will likely come from Google, Yahoo, or MSN, I'm selling myself short if I stop there. I need to make sure my site gets indexed by Ask, AltaVista, HotBot, AOL, Excite, Lycos, Blingo, Dogpile, and a whole lot more so that I'll get a high number of visitors no matter which search engine they prefer.

I'm also going to submit my website to a few popular directories, because these can be another source of quality traffic. These include DMOZ, Best of the Web, Business.com, Yahoo, and Aviva. I might have to actually pay for some of these submissions, but the fees could be offset in the long run by the amount of traffic I get as a result of my listing.

Also, if I don't want to submit my website manually to all these different places, I can pay a service to do it for me. There are several companies out there that can handle these types of submissions on my behalf, leaving me free to tinker on my site a bit more.

I'm pretty excited about getting this new venture off the ground! I'm going to submit my website to all these search engines and directories over the weekend, and once I get indexed, I can site back and watch the visitors pour in. I hope they click ads while they're here!
