Ok so you have a blog, and your posting to it daily, your using all the latest methods, of Blog and Ping, Tag and Ping and your're also using the Social bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us.
While these are all great marketing techniques you shouldn't
limit yourself to just a few traffic generating methods.
Now its time to kick your advertising into over drive by simple converting at least one post a week into an article.
Choose one of your best posts, and the expand on it. You don't need a 2000 word article, 250 to 400 words can work just as well or better.
While there are hundreds of article submission sites available today, I would suggest sticking with just the top 10 or 20 if you try to do more then that, what you end up doing is wasting your time on submitting, that you could be spending on creating more articles.
So how does submitting articles drive free targeted traffic to your website?
There are thousands of Ezines today that are always looking for fresh new content to post in their Ezines (Online magazines) If they use your article in their Ezine then you get the credit.
For a fee you can also use an Article submission services that will handle the submissions for you.
But Ezines are not the only ones that will use your article.
Other website owners will use your articles as content on their website with the agreement that your link, and contact info remain in tact.
Articles are also being turned into RSS feeds.
There are a few article submission sites that will even convert your article into an RSS feed for you.
What is an RSS feed?
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication as it i.commonly known, is a technology that gives webmasters the ability to easily distribute and publish syndicated content on the Internet.
Since you are already blogging you should already know about RSS feeds.
Thousands of websites pick up RSS feeds and display them on their site in order to add fresh, pertinent content to their webpages.
I use a program called RSS Content Builder to add RSS Feeds on all my sites. Every time the search engine bots pay a visit to one of my sites, they will see that the pages has been updated with new pertinent content. This keeps the search engine spider.coming back to reindex my pages over and over again.
I also do this to make my websites more interesting for my visitors.
So to quickly sum up the benefits of turning your best blog posts into articles.
Back links from other websites, this means a higher page rank for your site.
Direct traffic from the article itself.
RSS feeds that are being displayed on other websites.
If your article is really news worthy it may even get picked up by a newspaper.
This same strategy can also work both ways, if your already writing articles, but not posting them to your blog, and using the marketing techniques of Blog and Ping or Tang and Ping. Your losing out on free traffic, and back links.
