How Writing an Article Brings You Targeted Traffic

You've heard that writing articles can bring targeted traffic to your WAHM website, but maybe you haven't heard exactly how. Here's a look at how one article can bring you traffic from many corners of the Internet.

If you’re writing an article for traffic, you need to allow your article to be reprinted for free on other websites and in other publications. It becomes a free reprint article. This means anyone who wants to publish your article may do so, so long as they don’t change it, they keep your author’s resource box intact and they include an active link to your website.

Your author’s resource box contains the author’s name, biographical information about the author, a call to action, and a link to your website, so the reader can click through to your site for more information about the topic.

Once you’ve written your article, let people know about it. You might publish it on your own website, submit it to the article directories, submit it to some article announce lists, and you can even send it to other online publishers.

As your article circulates and is published and reprinted in various places, your article will begin generating traffic for you.

First of all, people will search for the keywords you included in your article. Your article will show up in the search results, either on your website, in an article directory, or on someone’s site who reprinted your article. Readers will read the article and click on the link to your site in the author's resource box to learn more about your product or service.

You’ll also get traffic from people who are browsing the article directories. People browse the articles, read yours and click on the link in the author’s resource box.

Visitors to other websites might see your article reprinted on someone else’s site; they’ll read it and click through to your website.

Finally, as you write more articles about your niche topic, you may also get name recognition traffic. The more articles you write, the more people will read them, and gradually you could be known as the expert in your field. People will actively seek out your site.

One article can bring you traffic from many different directions. If you look in your site statistics under referrers, you can see exactly where your article marketing traffic is coming from, and focus your efforts accordingly.
