How do you get traffic to a blog? Is it really worth your time to focus on SEO to build traffic to your website? This is not just any kind of traffic we’re talking about. You have to bring in highly targeted traffic to your offers or else it’s going to be lights out for your business.

There are a lot of ways to get traffic to a website but in this article we’re going to focus on using my favorite method of generating highly targeted traffic using the power of article marketing.

Article marketing is where you write articles and submit them to free article directories. The articles must be related to what you’re offering on your website if you’re promoting a product. The goal is to have your articles rank in the first page results of the search engines.

First, you have to research some keywords. It’s very important for you to set this up correctly because all of your efforts will depend entirely on keyword research. If you’re promoting a weight loss product, avoid using broad keywords like body weight loss, easy weight loss, natural weight loss, etc.

It’s going to take you forever to rank for those kinds of keywords and you’ll end up with a reader that is in browsing mode. You want to target readers who are in the buying frame of mind. One tip is to focus on long tail keywords.

Second, after researching your keywords, it’s time to write the articles. Your articles doesn’t have to be like a novel and readers tend to get bored with long winded articles. You can write articles with 250-300 words, provide quality information about the topic then you can do the promotion on your resource box. The resource box will contain links that will lead back to your website.
