Article Surfing Archive

Ok, here it is again, everyone is talking about it, allnewbies are told or have read at some point of time about it.Write articles and publish them to article directories withfree reprint rights.

Yes it does work, it has worked me miracles. I started myinterior design website in September 05 and by mid October 05it was ranking in top 10 at MSN search engine.

Google rewarded it by a Pagerank 4, all because of the art ofwriting and publishing articles. Today I am going to show youhow articles generate traffic to your website at 4 different levels. Let's see these levels one by one.

LEVEL 1

You write an article related to a specific niche. For exampleI wrote on "bedroom design and decorating ideas". Submittedthis article to 10 article directories which already hada decent archive and good Google pagerank. While submitting thisarticle I took proper care to select the right "keywords" whichwould trigger my article for greater readability.

So on the first level I started getting visitors directly fromarticle directories who came through by clicking the linkin the resource box. SO here two thing are of most importance

1)A good and catchy title to your article.2)Selecting the right keywords that would trigger your article.

LEVEL 2

After visitors at the article directories started finding my article, some of them used it on their own website. This helped their own visitors. I got some traffic from these websites aswell and most importantly an "inbound link" to my website

LEVEL 3

This I found accidentally. A few months I wrote an article on"Google AdSense", submitted it to article directory and forgotabout it. After a few weeks I was browsing the Google resultpages for improving adsense income, I saw one of my articletitle listed at number 5 in the search results.

This was a total shock to me. My article page at the articledirectory was picked up by Google. That's the reason why it isnecessary to pick article directories that already have goodGoogle Pagerank. I prefer submitting to article directories havea Pagerank of 3 or more.

So on this level you start getting traffic directly from searchengine results. This strategy is also useful for affiliates. Youcan write an article in such a way that the search engines willpick up the title and rank well at the results and send the trafficdirectly to the vendor's website through YOUR affiliate link.

(NOTE: Some article directories do not allow affiliate links inresource box. You will have to go through the publishing guidelinesbefore submitting.)

But there are 2 disadvantages in this method.1)The article page can not rank permanently at that number. This is because, an article directory is a dynamic place. Every hourhundreds of articles get submitted there. If someone else doesa good job than yours then you are likely to loose that positionat the search engine results, quickly.2)You can not guarantee than the article will always be pickedup by search engine and be ranked in top 10. But there is a surefireway to write an article which will always rank well at thesearch engines.

LEVEL 4

Though I am calling this level 4 this level becomes level 1 overa period of time. This is because of all the incoming links whichpoint to your website. As you write more articles(level 1), more webmasters around the world copy and paste them on their websites(level 2), your website starts ranking well at the search engines because of massive amount of incoming links. Once this happens you start getting an immediate flow of free targeted traffic from search engines.

A good monetization program like Google Adsense can be used toquickly convert this crowd into money.

But as I said earlier there is a special way to write articles. Ifyou want to enjoy the benefits from all these 4 levels, then there aresurefire techniques you have carry out in a few seconds.

The best part about all these levels of traffic is, you don't haveto pay a single dime to do this stuff.

The key is to write for humans as well as search engines. It's not atall difficult. Anyone who can write and read English can do this.Even if you haven't written a single line before, you can goahead very fine with writing articles for attracting websitetraffic in less than a month.

I hope this article was helpful to everyone.
