How To Get More Traffic For Your Articles
Besides submitting your articles to article directories, in order to get even more traffic, you should also optimize your submitted article to get traffic from search engines.
This is particular so for new websites. Most of the more popular article directories are pretty well search engine optimized. By submitting a article with a keyword phrase that has low competition related to your website, the chances of the article showing up in search engines is greater.
You might be thinking I can also do it with my own website, why put my article that is well optimized on someone's else website? The reason for that is because larger and more popular article directories has been around for a while and the same article has more 'weight' in the search engines if it is placed on their site than yours.
I have tested this and some articles I've have written for article directories can rank in #1 or #2 position out of 10,000 competing webpages whereas the same article on my own site is not even on the lst page of search engine results. I'm not sure why but Google, Yahoo and MSN seems to like certain article directories more than others.
Of course, your keyword phrase that you use in your articles must have some search traffic and have low competition count. As a general rule, look for keywords in your niche that have at least a few hundred searches and less than 5000 competing webpages.
Here are a few tips on how to optimize your article
1) Put the keyword phrase in the title
Number one rule in SEO is to fit your keyword phrase into your title of the article.
2) Insert keyword phrase in the body content
Usually for a 400 word article, I only insert the keyword phrase twice, once in the beginning of the first paragraph and at the last line of the last paragraph. It's important not to overdo it to the point the article doesn't make sense since you want the reader to read your article and then click through to your website in the author's bio box.
That's it, simple onpage seo anyone can do to attract more traffic to your submitted articles. It may take more time to optimize your article, find the keyword phrase to use etc but it can proof more worthwhile since you only need to do it once correctly and get unlimited traffic from that article for years.
