Pushing To Business Success

In my opinion, writing and submitting good quality articles to article directories is the single most best way to drive long term traffic to your site or blog.

1) By writing articles of high value in your targeted niche you become an expert. This instills confidence in your customers making them want to purchase your products.

2) Writing articles is free, you can write them yourself which after submitted to several article directories will give you quality backlinks to your site. Your articles will get picked up by other websites giving you several links back to your site per article.

3) Viral advertising, no better example than article marketing. The best part is the resources box at the end of your article. This is where you add a compelling offer, talk about yourself, sell your products etc. This is also where you get to leave the url to your site.

4) Residual, long term traffic to your products, site or blog. When you write articles they are indexed and archived in the article directories. People can find your articles and links years after you've written them.

5) Articles provide continuing quality content for your site. When you write these articles, do your keyword research making it easier for people doing searches on major search engines to find them. There are many ways of getting targeted traffic to your site. You should explore as many as possible developing a well rounded marketing plan. However, article marketing remains a very powerful driving force producing long term results.
