A High ROI With Effective Article Marketing

First of all there is no such thing as Free Traffic. You will either employ methods that will cost you money to get it or you will invest lots of time.

In the case of the latter, time is money and you want to get the highest return on your investment.

If you're new to internet marketing, one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your website is through article marketing. Article marketing consists of writing short summaries or 300-500 word reports related to your niche and submitting them for distribution by various article directories.

You may have heard that just submitting a ton of articles to these directories will help you get backlinks to your website, boosting your sites ranking in the search engines.

That's true...but, if you're going to write articles just to be writing articles with no real direction in mind other than to obtain backlinks, 2 things are going to happen.

1) Untargeted non-goal oriented articles will lead to little or no results
2) Your backlinks that you slaved for will fade away, because of the lack of value provided.

Don't waste your time.

If you're going to spend the time(which should be as valuable as your money, if not more so) writing content to bring in traffic and gain backlinks, be specific about what you're trying to accomplish.

Keep your articles tightly linked to your topic and the by product will be the clicks on the link in your resource box.

Article marketing is an effective way to drive targeted traffic to your website,but effective article marketing is the best way to monetize that traffic.
