Website Marketing Strategy - How to Get More Website Traffic and More One Way Links

Whether you're new to website marketing or a veteran, you've probably struggled to find a website marketing strategy that really works. As a website designer and promoter, I have found no better way to get more website traffic than by writing articles and submitting them to article marketing websites.

There are two very good reasons to write and submit articles.

1. Articles can be written with exactly the keywords you want to target such as website marketing strategy, get more website traffic, or one way links. Whatever it is you are trying to sell or promote on your website, you can write short articles that will pull loads of new traffic to your website.

2. Once you've written your article, you get to include a paragraph at the end which has up to 3 one way links pointing back to your website. And we all know how much search engines love one way links from articles. When you get to the end of this article you'll see how I do it.

So, how do you start writing articles? First thing you want to do is some keyword research. Find out what keywords relate to your site and what keywords have less competition than the top few. I like to pick out a few phrases to make my title and then write my article around those keyword phrases. Look at my title in this article and see if you can spot my keyword phrases.

After you've written your article, you can put up to 3 links pointing back to your website in the authors resource box. It's not really a box, but that's what they call it. It's more like the last paragraph of your article. I like to make my resource box flow naturally with my article and have an invitation to click-thru and visit my site. Using articles as a website marketing strategy has definitely increased traffic to my websites.

Paid Blogging - The New Bum Marketing Method

Ahhhhh! The secret's out (with this article)

Paid blogging is going to be VERY popular soon.

...But is it another internet marketing fad, trend, or flash-in-the-pan?

Does it have sustenance?

Here are the Pros and Cons for Paid Blogging

I like to start with the cons then leave with you with the PROs because this is going to be a big deal soon and like it or not, paid blogging will be around for a while.

The cons are that some paid blogging sites require that you have a blog for a certain period of time before you're allowed to post and get paid for your blog posts. There are some advertisers paying for blog posts who require that your blog have a certain PR (page rank) before you qualify to post for them.

And the last negative thing I can think of is that you have to set up your own blogs. That's not a negative really, but this is where most people will stall, fail, and drop the whole idea of following through with this guaranteed income producer.

How does paid blogging relate to the bum marketing method?

Well, paid blogging, generally speaking, won't give you a residual income like the article writing efforts that the bum marketing method employs. You see, with bum marketing, once you write your articles, they're out in cyberspace forever,and you can make affiliate commissions off those articles.

Now, paid blogging is different because you don't make any affiliate commissions from your posts.

On the other hand, once your blog post is accepted you're guaranteed to get paid for it.

I don't claim to be the best article writer, but I do know that it's frustrating to spend a lot of time writing an article and to finally get it accepted, but then have nothing to show for all that work.

At least with paid blogging you get something out of it every time.

Here's the kicker!!! This is what make s it so great...

Thr more you post the more traffic and higher PR (Page Rank) your post gets.

That means you qualify for the higher paying blog posts. Sometime peopleare paying $1,000.00 for a blog post. Whew! Imagine that,huh?

Well, that's another way that paid blogging is similar to the bum marketing method. Both methods require a little bit of determination and writing and it pays off in the long run.

You just have to stick with it long enough to make it work for you. Again,with paid blogging,you get paid as soon as your blog post has been accepted, therefore the motivation factor is already built in and taken care of.

There are people out there that don't like to write, but they shouldn't be discouraged...

Most blogs are not candidates for the pulitzer prize these days and if you can write down your thoughts in a coherent manner, you'll do fine with paid blogging
