The internet is a wonderful tool to use to give information and to earn a return on it. Perhaps you have recently created a blog site and have research many options on how to use your blog as effectively as possible.
You have done allot of the correct things to attempt generating blog traffic and have created content that will add value to your visitors, now you just need the visitors. So how do you increase the blog traffic and what should you do to keep the traffic that you have revisiting your site?
FREE Traffic Through Articles Directories
There are various ways to increase your blog traffic and this can either be done via paid or FREE methods. In today's economic times 'FREE' is a word that always grasp the attention of people, but does FREE methods mean poor methods?
Not necessarily, as the internet is a place that offers many free traffic generation methods and one such way is to use article directories. Articles, on basically any topic, can be submitted (for free) to these directories and when read, can increase blog traffic to your site.
Article directories such as GoArticles and EzineArticles etc. are great places to submit your content and get many more visitors. Many people are under a false impression that you need to have completely original content before you can submit to most article directories. In fact, EzineArticles and other article sites encourage people to use content from their blogs and other sources.
As long as the content is their own, whether ghost written or done by themselves, and the content is not plagiarised, the articles can be submitted. PLR articles (Private Label Rights) or other mass distribution content cannot be submitted as your own.
There are two reasons why article directories are a good method to generate FREE blog traffic and they are:
1. The search engines often pick up the content on an article directory quicker, and rank it higher than an individual site which can therefore generate generic search visitors.
2. Article directories are a place that other websites use to get content, and well written articles can be syndicated and used on other websites. This should be the goal of any blog writer using articles to get syndicated by other websites as this not only creates backlinks to your site, it also gives many more places that you can generate visitor for your traffic.
As mentioned above, content from your blog can be used and submitted to article directories. Many of the top search engine optimisation and article marketing experts, however, advises that you should always submit content to your own site and then to an article directory as this will help grow your website and give it more authority.
To summarize, a good FREE way to get blog traffic is to submit your blog content as articles to FREE article directories. Well written and interesting articles can get hundreds and sometimes thousands of views and therefore many new visitors to a site. This has the added advantage of creating backlinks to your website as well as generating blog traffic.
