In order to become a winner with your internet business, you must drive traffic to your website.  In actual fact, the more traffic you drive to your website, the more successful you are likely to become.

You need to encourage strong levels of traffic to go to your website.  Don't worry about how well you convert at this time you can focus on conversion rates later.  You are not going to make much money unless you drive massive traffic to your site.  No matter how little traffic you are achieving at the moment you can always double, triple or maybe even create ten times more traffic than you are currently driving to your site in order to become a winner.

The best way to do this is to learn how to develop targeted traffic with your articles.  There is no point in running adverts, as far as I'm concerned, or using pay-per-clicks, which can prove to be very costly, because with these methods, you are encourage unqualified visitors to your site.

And yes, it's probably better than nothing, but when people read a three-line ad as is the case with pay-per-click advertising, do they really have any idea of your personality, your level of expertise and whether what you have to say is of any use to them?  That's why I am an advocate of article writing.

In order to become a winner at running your business online, you need to write articles, and your articles will drive traffic in two different ways to your website.

1 - When you write and submit your articles to the various article directories, traffic will be driven to your site mainly because the reputable directories are ranked highly on Google.  It is important that you chose a good keyword here.  You also need to include a direct link to your site in each of your articles, and it's important that your articles are written in a compelling and easy-to-read fashion.  If you do the right things, your website can show up in the top 10 results of Yahoo! or Google search engines within weeks.  The sort of traffic you get through your articles is very highly responsive and very targeted.

2 - The second way you can drive traffic using articles is by following a simple method of submitting the right articles to the right article directory to generate back links.  This method will optimize your web pages via your article, and you could quickly build up your back link numbers through Yahoo! and Google and therefore get your site ranked highly for many keywords.  This method will take a little bit longer, but it's worth it in the end.

So if you're looking for success and you'd like to be a winner, focus your efforts on writing and submitting articles and learning the techniques that writing articles can achieve.
