Article marketing is one of the best ways to generate traffic to your website, if not the best.

We have sites that we have been promoting by means of article marketing only for the last six months and we have reached a point where we no longer have to do anything for the sites and they will continue to get over 300 Unique visitors each and every day.

Of course we intend to continue article marketing for these sites and watch the visitor count continue to grow with each new article we submit…

Here’s how it basically works.

1. You write an article (or have one outsourced).
2. You submit it to article directories.
3. Web publishers (website owners & bloggers) grab your article from the article databases and use your article on their sites free of charge.
4. Inside your article, at the end, you include a resource box that contains a link to your website. When the article is published, that portion must tag along and be published, as well.

Your link tags along with your article and you get FREE advertising and free backlinks.

Want an example? Take a look at this page:

This is the link to one of our articles posted on WebHostingMonkey.com. Keep in mind we have no affiliation with this site, they simply found our article in an article directory site and posted it to their blog. I love that!

You see at the end? It says…

Notice there are two links in our resource box, one is directly to our site using the domain name as the anchor text and the other is also linking directly to our site but it is using a keyword phrase that we would like to rank for as the anchor text.

That’s a great example of an author bio with two links.

So, everyone who re-publishes that article will include the author blurb and we will get lots of free backlinks and free traffic.

To make the author box links even more effective, you can link them directly to a deep page on your site using anchor text that is most relevant to the topic of your article.

There are three main ways article marketing can generate traffic for you:

People click your link from the article directory and end up on your website.

Webmasters publish your article (with your link intact) on their own site)

Your search engine position increases because you’ll gain more backlinks.

That makes article marketing an excellent strategy.

Combine that with the power of a deep link building program like NextGenLinks.com and you’ll see your traffic and rankings soar over time!
