Article marketing works fantastic for increasing the traffic coming to your website. For anyone who isn’t familiar with it, it’s the process of writing articles about the topic of your website and submitting them to “article directories” on the internet.

As you’re likely aware, fresh new content on your website or blog is very helpful with getting higher search engine rankings. Many webmasters and bloggers who are looking for new content to add to their sites visit article directories to find it.

By submitting your article to these directories, you’re giving permission for other website owners to use it on their website, on the condition that include a resource box that you supply along with the article.

This resource box is basically an “about the author” section where you can include information about your website, as well as links back to it.

When someone posts your article on their site, they also post this about the author section and everyone who reads the article on their website sees it. Your article can ultimately end up on hundreds of websites, with thousands of visitors reading it and clicking the links through to your own site.

It is very easy to find these reprint directories on the web. Just do a Google search on ‘free reprint article directories’ and many listings will pop up. Some are highly targeted and feature only articles health articles; or only articles about food; and other directories are more general. You can submit your article to more than one directory, and there are even some software packages that will submit the articles for you.

The topics you can choose to write about are limitless. What is the focus of your website? Be creative and think of why someone would want to visit your website and create an article about it. Someone who sells Tupperware for instance, could easily write about food related items or take it a step further an write an article about the fact that the plastic containers are great for organizing toys, bathroom items or even nuts and bolts in the garage.

And if you don’t really enjoy writing, it’s not a problem. You can hire writers to ghostwrite your articles at various places on the internet. How much you’ll pay will depend on different factors, but usually you’ll wind up paying between $8 and $20 per 500 word article.
