Article Marketing, as the name suggests is a way to market your products through the Internet by writing something that links to the website that you want to attract traffic to it.

But why one should be doing Article Marketing as oppose to other ways of Traffic Generation? Shouldn’t we also look at other sources of traffic as well? The answer is a resounding yes! You should also look at other means of getting traffic into your website.

Before embarking a journey in getting into other traffic sources, you should try Article Marketing first.

Here are the main reasons why;

1. It’s Free

You don’t have to pay anything to gain exposure of your website to get the doorstep of your target audience. All you need to do is find an online hosts that accepts articles written for your niche, write them according to their guidelines and post them online. Yes, that simple!

2. You can do it on your own

If you choose to do it, you have full control of your article especially the contents and nothing is taken out from your pocket. However, you can also commission somebody to do it for you if you have some limitations of doing it on your own. But I strongly suggest, you do it on your own as a start. Why? Simply because it will increase the knowledge you have on your niche!

3. It is a proven reliable traffic source

I know a number of successful Internet Marketers that uses Article Marketing as the main source of their website traffic. And to this day, they are still doing it! The key thing to note is both on quality & quantity of the articles submitted. Customers like you and me really like quality products all the time. I’ll be surprise if there is someone prefers non-quality products. The same is true for an articles. The factor of quantity maximizes your exposure to the online community of your niche. Thus, more traffic to your website.

4. You don’t have to worry about the Search Engines

When I first created my website, I felt very disadvantaged knowing that I am not an expert in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) yet. Meaning, I do not have the expertise on how to make my website stands out from the rest of the competitions via SEO, when somebody is doing a search using Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. I am not saying that you have to ignore the Search Engines as a source of traffic. In fact, they are also a massive source of traffic. But SEO is not part of this article. I will have one separately for it one day. The point that I am putting across here is that, you do not need to do any full-blown SEO on your website with article marketing.

5. It’s faster to get done

Believe or not, it will roughly take you 30 minutes or less to write an article with 400 to 500 words. What does this tells you? It means that you can definitely write as many articles in your niche as you want within a day! Remember the simple logic, more quality articles equates to more exposure of you website to targeted online visitors. Which eventually means more Traffic to your website!
