 How many times have you spent an hour or two writing an article only to find you never receive any traffic from it! Article marketing can be sole destroying for sure.

Here are three key reasons why your articles fail to pull traffic to your sites, and the specifics you should be doing to ensure your future articles do get the traffic you deserve.

1. Poor Title

Your article title is the single biggest determinant of how many times your article will actually be read. And one thing you can be sure of, is that if it isn’t being read, you won’t be receiving any click-throughs to your sites!

So how do you write a great title? Firstly, let’s look at it like this. A great title is one that gets an article read by a lot of people. So before you write an article or try and come up with a killer title of your own, do some research! Visit the biggest article directories and take a look at some of the articles written for your niche. Take a look at how many page views they’ve each received. Write down the ones that have received hundreds or thousands of views.

Once you have a list of tried and tested killer titles, write your own titles in a very similar way! It’s obvious really, but not many people do it this way!

And of course it goes without saying that if none of the articles have many page views, then simply don’t bother wasting your time!

As well as actual title research, do some keyword research as well. You may be able to find some keywords that will give your article a chance of ranking for some phrases with reasonable search traffic. If you do, make sure your keyword phrase appears at the front of your title.

2. Poor Distribution

Don’t waste your time submitting individual articles to individual directories because you won’t get big results. I use paid distribution services every time. These paid services will submit your article to hundreds or thousands of directories and ezines. One site even allows you to submit variants to an article, so that hundreds or different versions are actually submitted from just one article.

Another thing to consider is your article length. Try and aim between 400 and 800 words to give your article a chance of being picked up by an Ezine publisher. Getting published in an ezine will definitely boost the number of eyeballs that see your content!

3. Poor Resource Box

So far we’ve concentrated on how to get your article read. Now for the other critical aspect of article marketing, the process of converting the page view in to a click through to your site.

The resource box is also commonly known as the author bio box. What you should actually think of it as is your “sales pitch”. Your readers aren’t interested in reading about you. They want to know what’s in it for them if they click on your link. So get straight to the point in your resource box, tell your reader what they want to know. Tell them exactly what benefits they will receive if they click on your link, or preferably links, always include two, one with anchor text and one plain url. It’s as simple as that.

Three Great Free Ways To Generate A Flood Of Targeted Traffic To Your Website
By Kim Aron

 As you might already know, the main key to having a successful online business is to have loads of targeted traffic. A lot of marketers, especially people who are new to marketing their products or offers on the Internet, often get confused when it comes to generating traffic. They simply struggle. But generating considerable amounts of traffic is actually not as hard as many marketers make it out to be. You simply have to know where to go, what to do and how to do it.

The best way to really benefit from traffic generation, is by no doubt to create multiple streams of traffic, all pointing towards your website. All to often, marketers solely focus on one or two main streams of traffic, and when these few traffic streams for whatever reason suddenly become less effective, their website is left in the dark spaces of the Internet, with few or no visitors.

To generate as much traffic to your website as possible, you need to take advantage of a lot of different traffic generation methods that all send targeted traffic to your website. This will increase your sales, simply because a larger amount of potential buyers is going to be exposed to your sales page.

I am now going to discuss three highly effective methods that you can utilize to effectively increase your traffic generation.

The first method is article marketing. This is a surprisingly simple, yet very efficient and proven traffic generating technique. All you actually need to do, is to write simple, informative and useful articles about whatever topic you choose, and then submit your article to different article directories. The main key within this method, is that when you submit your article, you are allowed to add a small resource box beneath your article. In this box you can add the link to your website. That is all, you are now generating floods of targeted traffic to your site.

If you wish to maximize your traffic through article marketing, the key is that you produce and submit several different articles on a continous basis, because this will create a higher number of links from different article directory sites, all leading to your particular website. If you do not like to write, or for whatever reason do not want to write your articles yourself, you have the possibility to outsource this task. There are lots of low cost services that offer professional written articles on your behalf.

The second method is forum marketing. This is the process of making posts and comments on online forums. As a forum member, you are allowed to add your website link in your forum signature tag, so each time you make a post, your link becomes visible to all the other forum members. A huge benefit here is that you can choose a forum that are already focusing on the specific topic that your website contains, so there is a really good chance that other forum members will click on your website link. This traffic is highly targeted, because your website visitors are most likely genuinely interested in your offer.

A really important aspect when it comes to forum marketing, is that you provide quality content in your posts and comments, and do not just start advertising your website. This will immediately be considered as spamming, and your forum account will be closed. Just reply honestly to existing posts and create new informative and helpful threads. Your forum signature will, as I explained earlier take care of generating traffic to your website.

The third and last traffic generating method that I will discuss, is blog marketing. Popular blogs generally generate massive amounts of traffic. What you can do, is to post comments on high traffic blogs within your topic or niche. Blogs allow you to add your website link when you make a comment, and the blog readers, who are already interested in your particular topic, are going to provide you with a lot of very targeted traffic. Again, it is important that you do not spam, just make good and helpful comments, and your website traffic is guaranteed.

These three traffic generating methods are easy, effective and completely free. They make it possible for you to tap into huge amounts of targeted traffic, simply because they constitute the main arenas for your target market, so you are making yourself and your website a big favour if you follow these methods, because it will get your message and link in front of the exact right crowd of potential customers.
