Article writing and article marketing today are very
effective means of getting traffic to your website. I look
at articles that I have written over a year ago and still
see traffic being sent to my website from these articles.
The key is to write an article that is high enough quality
so that web masters want to publish your articles on their
web sites, and for your readers to have enough interest to
go to your web site after reading your article. This
article goes over the features your article should have
that will achieve these results.
1. Your Article Should Provide A Solution Or Answer A
Common Question
Your article should provide a solution to a common question
or a problem that your target audience has. You can easily
research questions that your target audience has by going
to places such as yahoo groups or yahoo answers to see what
people are discussing and wanting help with. Another great
place is to find great topics is to search for niche forums
within your target market and see what questions people are
asking in these forums. This exercise will give you a
goldmine of very relevant data that you can use as subject
material for your articles that will be valuable to your
readers.
2. Your Article Should Leave The Reader Wanting More
Your article should be useful and provide valuable content,
but let's face it, you can only do so much in an article,
even if it's 750 words or so. You should write your
article so that the reader feels like they have received
some value, however your article has now generated greater
interest, and they would like to know more. I have found
that using lists such as ("The Top 5 Things People Can Do
To Relieve Stress") and then make it clear to the reader
that there are 5 additional things they can do that are
also just as effective as the things listed in your
article, is a good way to create further interest in the
subject.
3. Your Article Should Give The Reader A Strong Call To
Action
Your article should end by giving the reader a strong call
to action. This is telling the reader where they should go
to get more information (the rest of the stress reduction
tips). Creating a strong call to action in the conclusion
and stating it strongly in the resource box is a powerful
way to create your call to action. Remember, your article
is not a sales letter, so the call to action is really the
only place that you have to get the reader to go to your
website, sign up for your mailing list, call you on the
phone, or anything else you want them to do.
If you are going to set up your call to action in the
conclusion, then you should make sure you recap the
article, and then just add a sentence or two that brings up
a question or similar thought that would cause the reader
to want more information. Most English teachers are
probably rolling over in their graves right now, but you
are writing your article to get more traffic to your
website, not to win an essay competition.
A quality article will be published by others more often as
well as demonstrate to your readers that you know what your
talking about, so they would feel comfortable finding out
more about what you would have to say on your particular
topic. It is relatively easy to find topics that will be
of interest to your target market, as well as structuring
your call to action so your article drives visitors to your
website in larger numbers. These tips combined with other
tips such as how to structure your resource box and how to
use keywords in your articles increases your traffic to
greater levels. These are things that you need to keep in
mind when writing your articles to make them even more
effective in driving traffic to your website.
