Getting free traffic to your website or blog becomes a simple thing and very easy when you know how.
Article marketing is one such way to drive traffic to your site.
Firstly you have to write something of value.
You will need to write about 300 to 400 words so make sure that you have enough information to impart to your potential eager readers.
This article can then be submitted to an article marketing directory.
It is a simple thing finding one that gets the best results by Googling a phrase or word and seeing which directory comes out top the most frequently.
Submit your article to your chosen directory.
It is important to make sure as mentioned above that the directory you choose is one of recognized quality that can drive high traffic to your website.
It helps if they have been inbusiness for quite a while also so that their own standing and reputation is undoubtable.
Convert your traffic You need to get a simple clear picture about what you want to do with your traffic once they reach your site.
You might want to convert them to subscribers to your blog, you might want them to buy a product.
Whatever action you require them to make, you have to make it as clear as possible and as easy as possible for them to do whatever it is you want them to do.
For example you might have a sign up form ready for their arrival which converts them to subscribers.
This form should be very accessible and easy to see.
You can achieve this by having a pop up form box on your site or making sure that the form is on the first page in the top right hand corner for easy viewing.
