How To Combine Article Writing, Seo, and Blogging, For Maximum Website Traffic

How To Combine Article Writing, Seo, and Blogging, For Maximum Website Traffic
I hope I can get across to you the importance of writing to
promote your business. Article writing is a big part of
fresh content that any website looking for long term
traffic should consider.

A few years ago article directories began popping up all
over the place and ordinary people began the difficult task
of learning to write articles. Today things have changed.

Article writing is not enough anymore because the quality
of many article writers has improved. Plus the way you use
your articles to get traffic to your website is different
than it was even a couple of years ago.

Now you need well written articles that target very
specific keywords. Part of that is writing for search
engines. Not the whole article , but a little bit of it.
You now want to target lesser searched keywords. These are
words that generally are long and more targeted for the
article you want to write.

For example an article on Internet marketing business could
now be written around the phrase "start an Internet
marketing home business" and you would want those words in
the title of the article, in the intro and closing
paragraphs, and one time in the body.

You would write your article using variations of that
phrase using words like start a business at home on the
Internet, or start your home business using the Internet,
etc.

This should be done so it sounds natural. Just like you
were talking to a friend. Forget about keyword density. I
am getting traffic via all kinds of keywords and I do not
target keyword density anymore in the articles I personally
write.

Once you have an article you want to do two things with it.

1. Post it in you blog and social bookmark the post. You
can quickly do that if you have joined Onlywire.com. Even
better is to bookmark it to Google Bookmarks, Yahoo, and
Windows live. I also like Stumbleupon, Digg, and Propeller.

2. Submit it to a few quality article directories. Using a
service like Submit Your Article is the best way to go
especially when you use their Article Leverage Program. If
not through them at least manually submit to a few quality
directories such as EzineArticles, Idea marketers, Go
Articles, and others.

What you are doing is setting up one article to give you
traffic from article directories, your blog and RSS feed,
social directories, and search engines. When you understand
how you can take one article and create long term traffic
for maximum website traffic you will want to write on a
consistent basis targeting more words.

Either you or someone in your company is going to have to
learn how to write. If not that than consider hiring an
article writer to do it for you. This will really allow you
to combine article writing good seo practices,and blogging
to maintain and increase your traffic with very little
advertising expense.
