The Key To Making Money on the Internet is Traffic (Part 1)

So now you have a blog or website up, you should be seeing some trickle traffic coming in through social bookmarking (as we discussed in earlier posts here) and certainly you are now being listed in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Page). We need to get ranked higher in the SERPs to generate even more traffic. How do we do this?

One excellent way to get backlinks and get your rankings higher in the SERPs as well as some direct traffic is through article marketing. Article marketing has a few benefits. First and most importantly for us people with a limited budget, it is free. You can create an article on your subject matter and submit it to numerous article directories free of charge. This brings us to the next point, within your article you will be putting links to your website or blog. Most of the article directories will limit the number of links you can put into the body, and most will have a resource block so that you can put in more links. Article marketing is a very effective way to start getting traffic to your site by not only helping it boost your page ranking but by also sending direct traffic. An added bonus to article marketing is that anytime someone publishes one of your articles, all the links remain intact and helps to drive even more traffic to your site.

With any other type of marketing of your website, more is better. The more articles you can write and submit the better. EzineArticles.com is a good place to start submitting. There are many others as well, too many to list. Google is your friend.
