Experts Articles

Your previous articles you've published on your sites could be building traffic and building e-mail lists for you much quicker if you begin to submit articles to article directories regularly.

Submitting your best articles to the top online article directories exposes your new articles to a large potential audience, both at the article directories and on other people's blogs if they use your interesting articles as content. Popular articles can be one of the biggest sources of targeted traffic, thus helping you build opt-in lists and build targeted traffic.

And really, this article marketing strategy only makes sense. Many people come online looking for information, and Internet articles are one of the premiere source of new information. Every day thousands of new articles are added online, through article directories, blogs, Web 2.0 sites and the like.

So before posting those new articles to your blog, head over to the most important 2 or 3 directories and submit your articles, taking care to be certain your Author's Resource Box leads back to your blog and squeeze page so that you're building targeted traffic that's targeted at building your opt-in list and your blog readership simultaneously.

Ensure your new articles contain valuable content - trying to create an article just for it's SEO value is a typical blunder, since getting prospects to your submitted articles is only part of the battle. The real trick is to get them absorbed in your articles' content, show yourself as an expert on the topic, and motivate them to take action and click through to your opt-in form or your blog. That demands both powerful information in your article AND solid, relevant info on your landing page.

One of the reasons that this course of action builds opt-in lists so easily is that the person is looking for knowledge on a subject, sees your article and then sees your link to more tips. Magnify your traffic building from your articles by offering a free report, audio or video on the same issue to people who sign up. This way the interested party gets what they are looking for, while you're building traffic and building opt-in lists.
