How do you get more traffic to your website or blog?
Lately I have been researching different ways to increase traffic. Today I would like to highlight a method Scott Fox details in his book e-Riches 2.0 called “online article syndication.”
How does it work? You write a 500–700 word article (on average) and submit it to one of these sites:
(Do a search for “online article syndication services” for more sites. Go to Scottfox.com for more details and the latest recommendations from him).
Once your articles have been submitted/approved, the syndication services make your article(s) out on the web for a large number of potential customers to read.
Conveniently, these services will allow you to make limited reference in your articles to your product/service as well as your biographical information and a link to your website.
This not only piques interest of customers to find out who you are by viewing your site. It also gives you valuable backlinks from well-established websites (the syndication sites themselves). Thus establishing credibility with search engines and helps your site to get a higher ranking.
So, to summarize, online article syndication helps you build traffic to your site in at least three ways:
- It gets your name out there and builds your credibility as an expert in your field. People find out more about you and easily find you.
- It educates people about your product/service and helps them associate, through organic publicity, your “brand” with your product/service.
- It gives you more backlinks so that search engines rank you higher and more people see you when they search.
This is definitely something to check out for building your traffic-based revenue!
