What is the one way that you can increase your traffic without any cost?  You might think well everything cost something.  You are right, but somethings only cost your time, which is valuable, however spending your time is not an out of pocket expense.

I have found that submitting articles is a great way to get some back links to your sites.  Why do you need back links ?  You need back links so that you can be picked up in as many search engines as possible.  This is very important.  It does not matter if you are just writing in your blog, or if you have an on line business, you need to have traffic.  It is fine to have a blog, but you want people to read it.  It is fine to have a web site, but if you plan to make money from that site you need to have traffic!

You will need to think about your product, what is it you want to sell.  You need to think about your customer base.  Who are you trying to sell to?  Then you need to be able to project that into a short, but informative article.  These articles are excellent to add content to your web page and you should do that.  However, they become a greater tool when you start to submit them to the article directories.

When you submit to article directories you are putting your article as well as links to your web site out there for the world to see.  You have now started to expose yourself to many different venues and people that may have never even heard about you, your site or your product.

It does not matter if you are selling Antiques, t-shirts, baby products, or just trying to tell the world who you are and what you are about.  You still need to have traffic to your site.

This is just one way that you can submit your articles.  Sign up for a article directory, try to find one that is free, and following the guidelines submit your article to the site.

You can submit your article for free at Article Mega Site and be on the way to getting free traffic.  I read one person’s take on this today and they said that for every 50 articles they make one sale each day.  You can see then that you must write more than one article.  Work on it each day, make it fresh, add great content.  You are not only submitting to a directory, but you also now have fresh content to add to your own site.

Have fun with this. Write as much as you are comfortable with, but the more you can write and submit the more traffic your will have coming to your site.  Don’t be afraid of the traffic jam!   You do not have to be a professional writer.  Be real, be yourself, and you will come across as being genuine.
