One strategy is to set up a blogger blog as your main website. It’s quick and easy.

Another strategy is to set up a Blogger blog as a method to get links to your main websites.

When you set up a blog with Blogger it will be created as a sub domain on the blogspot.com domain. (For instance http://nextgen-links.blogspot.com )

That means you get all the link juice that comes from an authority site like blogger, which is a great thing for you.

To take advantage of this strategy for the search engines, you’d want to create a “mini blog” on Blogger that links back to your own site. This is a similar concept to adding articles to an article directory, though you have more control over the blog. The downside is that you don’t get the built-in article directory traffic.

The more entries you add, the more likely you are to be found by other Blogger.com users, and to rank highly in the search engines because your blog is coming from such a respected domain.

Since you’re linking back to your main website you should start to see your traffic and search engine rankings increase. Remember that every little bit helps, and that results build over time, so each of these strategies will work together to increase your overall traffic.

In fact, many people are finding that it actually increases their rankings greatly if they use the same article at more than one article directory. There is some debate about this, so you might find that you want to rewrite it a little bit before submitting it to another directory. Still, this saves you a lot of time.

Create a new resource box as well with different links targeting your top keywords for each directory you submit to.

Three article submission services that have grown to get a lot of respect over the years are:

Isnare: Submits to many publishers for a very reasonable price.

ArticleMarketer Service: Offers a free trial. Definitely worth trying just for that reason. It is our favorite submission service.

UniqueArticleWizard: This is great if you are concerned about duplicate content.

Beware signing up with other services until you check them out. These three are respected and updated constantly.

You should also take the content that you submitted to the directories and put it on your own website first. This updates your site and shows the search engines that you are constantly adding new content.

Adding new content often helps you get “spidered” (visited by the search engines) more frequently. The more frequently you are spidered, the faster you can rank for new content and the faster you can make money.

It’s true — content and links really do make the web go round. The more content and links you have on your websites, the more chances you have to get traffic. People are on the web to find information so be sure to offer them lots of quality articles on your websites and lots of links to find you with.

That doesn’t mean you need to spend your life writing articles. As long as you’re consistent in your efforts and don’t stop at just a few articles you’ll likely see great results. Still, those who submit many articles over a long period of time usually see higher levels of traffic.

You’ll find that the number of articles you need to submit really depends on the niche you’re in. There are some niches out there where just one or two articles a month will do. There are other niches where it’s ultra-competitive, so you’ll need to submit more articles, more often.

Here at NextGenlinks.com we suggest to try and submit 1-2 articles per week, every week. If that’s too much, then shoot for 2-4 articles per month, every month. The key is to be consistent.

We use ArticleMarketer.com to submit our articles and we have seen tremendous success, we highly recommend their services.

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…

Increase your Traffic, Authority and Rankings using our  State of The Art Automated Deep Link  Building Software

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!
