Boost Web and Blog Traffic with Exclusive Article Submission Strategies

As the internet grows, so does the number of ways you can direct scores of traffic to your website or blog. Article submission is one avenue that has become quite popular over the past 5 years, especially with the creation of one article submission service after the other.

Simply put, there are tons of websites out there that allow you to submit articles and direct traffic to your website. Taking advantage of this route is yet another technique in a well-executed SEO campaign that can deliver dividends.

This article will talk about article submission and how it can noticeably and quickly boost your web and blog traffic.

Article Submission: What Is It?

Web content is a must when it comes to consistent web traffic. Articles constitute one form of web content. 

An article, in terms of web content, is exactly what you are reading now: a medium-sized piece of writing that is designed to be informative, helpful, and relevant to your site/blog’s topic.

Submitting articles is the process by which you write a piece on a particular subject, optimized for a particular set of primary and secondary keywords, and submit it to a relevant website,  online directory or a blog. Users looking for information then see the article, read it, and follow it to your website.

This crucial last part happens through one of two ways. If the directory or blog allows you to do so, you can put a link to your website in the actual text. Many do not, however, which is why you use a resource box with the author/company’s information and an external link.

Of course, if you host the article yourself, you do not have to worry about that. Which brings us to the optimization of article submissions.

Two Ways to Optimize Article Submission

The first way you can optimize your submission process for your articles is to target as many relevant article submission websites and blogs as you can.  Add a wide variety of original content, and make sure your articles meet the standards of the directory and blog (usually 450-500 words, without keyword spam or clear advertising, and acceptable spelling and grammar). Also pick only quality blogs and directories.

The second way (most effective) is to own a network of multiple relevant SEO-ready websites and blogs to create search engine optimized content with links and anchor text strategies pointing to specific webpages. This network will attract users who are searching for useful information, and will also direct these users to your main websites and blogs, thus raising your traffic count.

Partnering with relevant blogs, not to mention fan sites, trade websites, and other relevant and informational portals, is a good way to show that your website is authoritative and relevant to what the user needs.
