You've got a website, now what?

One of the first goals of every new website you create is probably to get some quality traffic - whether to ultimately buy your product, read you information or click on your ads, your new website isn't worth much if no one finds it or goes to it.

Article Marketing to the Rescue

One of the easiest ways to get traffic to a new website is through writing and publishing articles to other websites, including article directories and other niche sites. These articles that you write act like a site magnet to the search engines. The link that you include in the article gets your site listed quickly in the search engines - and your site's future is off to the races.

The Positives of Article Marketing

Article marketing flat out works to get many incoming links to your website. You can get as many as a thousand links or more simply by writing unique content and posting it on article directories and niche sites that are always looking for new content. And, a side benefit of writing and posting articles is that you might get to be known as an authority in your niche.

Article marketing can be considered a hidden source of traffic - you don't have to advertise for traffic. Submitting articles can get your site listed in search engines quickly. The content you create causes search engines to index your page, including the link that you include in your "about" or "resource" box at the bottom of the article. The search engines follow that link and find your site - exactly what you are looking for.

It's Not All Rosy

Even though article marketing is a great boon to a brand new website, there are, of course, downsides too. One obvious problem is that you have to write the article that you are going to submit.

Of course, you can always pay somebody else to write the article for you, and there are many services on the web now that allow you to get others to do the writing for you - for a suprisingly cheap price.

And you must place the articles in the niche sites or article sites. Placement is always free, but each site has different methods for uploading or submitting the articles - since there are hundreds or thousands of such sites now, submitting all the articles can be quite time consuming.

However, there are article submission services that will place your articles for you. And, you can alway hire freelancers to do that job too.
