Article Submission
Sharyn Abbott
I am often asked what is the most effective method of driving traffic to a blog is and how to get the traffic consistently. I have tried every possible formula I could think of for more than a year. I took more than one blog class every week for over a year and tried every single technique that was presented.
Some things worked other techniques didn’t even make a dent. What makes a technique effective or worthwhile? Try Googling your name and see how many results there are. Then install Alexa’s Toolbar and keep track of your ranking. When your Google results become more than 100,000 or 1,000,000 and your Alexa ranking becomes less than 1 million, then what you’re doing is effective.
I have found a combination of techniques to be the most effective. I use Social Media such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to push new people to my blogs. I use HootSuite.com to send one message to all of my Social Media profiles simultaneously.
I post at least one video every week and leave a message on one to three of my Linked in Groups. I will typically get more unique hits from the LinkedIn Groups than most of the other processes.
And then, there’s article writing. There are more than 13 million results when searching article submission using Google. Imagine trying to find the right ones for your topic. It would take hours a week to keep up with all of them.
There is an alternative! There is a free software program which is designed to submit your articles to every ezine directory available, with one push of a button. It’s fairly simple to use and has built in instructions that are truly easy to follow.
