Writing Articles: You Be The Expert 

Write Once Live On The Web For Ever

Writing articles is one of the easiest methods of generating free website traffic. I'm not talking about writing the next version of Harry Potter. You can write an article between 300 - 500 words about anything you choose.

In order for it to have the most impact in terms of driving free traffic to your website you will need to focus your article around specific keywords. Keywords that your targeted audience would search for in Google. I can not put enough emphasis on doing quality Keyword Research. It is the foundation of any article marketing effort.

Keyword density is important but don't go overboard. I have seen people use their keywords so much that the articles are unreadable. It's better to have a credible article than one they can't decifer.

Always remember your article serves two purposes.

1. Get indexed by the search engine under specific keywords.

2. Drive the reader to you site after they read it. People have to enjoy the article enough to follow the links to your website.

3. Keep your message on the web for ever. Most article sites allow other website owners to use your article on their site. They must use it in it's entirety with no changes and include your signature. Did someone say free links to your site?

I know I said 2. But the 3rd one is a really good point.


Once you have written your article you will need to submit it to an Article Directory. You can submit your articles for free. Some let you put links in your text. All of them will allow you to put a link in your signature.

Share Your Videos 

The Paris Hilton Story

Video Marketing has become the free traffic driving engine that Article Marketing was two years ago.

Video is everywhere.

There are even video submission services that can submit you videos to multiple YouTube like sites.

Do a search on Google for almost any topic and you will see videos in top positions on the results page.

Tips:

1. Don't be boring! Have fun.

2. Create how to videos of products you are marketing.

3. Label your videos with Tags based on your Keywords.

4. Submit your videos to over 30 video sites like Youtube with one click with Traffic Geyser. Click For 30 Day Free Trial!.

Traffic Geyser
Traffic Geyser is INSANE!!!

This video submission software gets your videos on the top of Google's search results in hours. Not days HOURS! If you are serious about getting traffic with video you must use Traffic Geyser.

Forum Marketing 

Only If You Can Actually Answer The Question

There is nothing worse than asking a question in an online forum only to get back an obviously pre-worded answer with links that have NOTHING to do with the question. Those people should be shot.

On the flip side, there is nothing better than to get an answer that is on point and contains useful links to additional resources. Even if those resources are things I may need to buy.

Get it?

There are forums on every topic imaginable.

Everything from Lawn Care to Animal Husbandry.

Yes, I said ANIMAL HUSBANDRY!!!

Try it yourself in Google: Animal Husbandry "forum"


Please don't post an answer to an animal husbandry question with a link to Toys R Us because your an affiliate! We will find you if you do.

All forums have their own rules when it comes to links, affiliate products, signatures etc. Before you post make sure you understand the rules. Break them and you will be BANISHED from the forum.

Bottom line: People have questions about everything.

Go Answer Them!

Social Bookmarking 

Share Your Site With The World For Free

Social bookmarking allows website visitors to create a bookmark of a site, article, blog post, or video that they find interesting. Unlike bookmarks on your computer these bookmarks are public. Hence the term social.

Bookmarks are shared with the world by the various bookmarking sites. Digg, del.icio.us, Furl, Kaboodle, ma.gnolia, Spurl, Wink, reddit are some of them.

They are catorgorized based on tags, KEYWORDS so make sure you do your research.

3 Benefits Of Social Bookmarking

1. Expose Your Content To A Larger Audience

2. Bookmarks Create A High PR Link To Your Site. Thats a good thing.

3. Show Up In Google Results Faster


I have seen some of my posts on the front page of Google the same day thanks to Digg and Propeller.

You can even bookmark your own site. Shhhhh, I won't tell anyone if you won't.

Don't Abuse Bookmarks

If they see you submitting the same thing over and over they will consider you a spammer. They may even banish an entire site. Some of them refuse to accept bookmarks from Squidoo.

My Favorite Bookmarking Tool 

Add This
Add This tool to your site and your visitors can submit your site to the social bookmarking sites for you.

I even added one here so you can tell the world about this Lens.

Social Media Marketing 

Myspace & Facebook Are Not Just For Drunk College Kids

Social media marketing is all about promoting your website or blog thru social media websites.

I separated this from Social Bookmarking to highlight one specific difference.

Community is the key to these sites. People flock to them and set up their own virtual communities where they share inforamation about themselves and the things that excite them.

Some Example Sites:

- Myspace
- Facebook
- Humanpets
- LinkedIn
- Blackplanet


Become a trusted member of the community make friends and you can build a loyal following.

The downside is that if you offend the community you will see them leave you in droves.
