Getting traffic to your articles is the goal of anyone who wishes to gain more exposure. After all more exposure means more dollars in revenue for you, so getting traffic to your articles has to be a top goal in order to succeed.
I am going to share different methods that you can begin getting traffic to your articles in simple little steps. These simple little steps can help you in your goals of getting traffic to your articles.
To prove that I know what I am talking about. I have created a flood here, and I am getting traffic to my articles than I ever have. How did I do this? I listened well to people who told me how to start the climb; putting all their information together, I have succeeded in getting traffic to my articles, which means some decent page view numbers.
Publish daily to increase your page views. I did this for a few months. I wrote multiple articles here and I was getting traffic to my articles so that worked.
However as much as I tried to do this, because of my ability to grasp keywords and key phrases I was not succeeding in really getting traffic to articles by huge amounts.
I was not writing about popular items I was writing what I wanted and it was not working, as I planned. I wanted an easy way out and hard as I tried, it was not working for me. Then I began to remember what I read in Michele Devon's article about promoting your articles. I tried doing some things from her list but I was still not seeing the results. It is a great article, and listed below it is full of great information as Pam's is. I was still doing something wrong which was preventing me from getting traffic to my articles as I wanted too.
What was I doing wrong, I asked myself. I write often, I write in bulk, and use textayler and text cloud to make sure my keyword and key phrases fall in the targeted 2 to 5
range. Still the goal of getting traffic to my articles was not happening as I had hoped. I pretty much had given up by July 1 because I could not seem to get more then forty or fifty thousand views a month with 650 articles. I began writing very heavily elsewhere, in a few different web sites.
For you women out there trying to conceive but cannot. Ninety percent of the time, after giving up, you get pregnant. That is what happened to me in a wild way. On a fluke, I tossed up one article that became my miracle getting traffic in a huge way.
I was taking a break one day from writing elsewhere and was playing a game over on a social networking site. The kids were killing me and it was hard to play, but I loved the game. I tossed up one article here on July 16, 2008 asking others to add in their URL if they wanted help. It got almost 1,000 hits in one day, a few days later when the next update came in I looked again and it was up a few more thousand. I was getting traffic to my articles and I loved it.
I had finally succeeded because that article was about a popular topic, and it went crazy to say the least getting traffic. It is a display option only article so I went in there and tweaked it, it brought in even more visitors, which I loved. I was getting traffic galore!
I began thinking since I was getting traffic to my article nicely with that one that I would write another one, which I did. The next two similar articles did not do so well even thought they held there own. I wrote a fourth one that went into mega over drive like my first one did.
I was getting mega comments on the first one and as of 4:09 EST on 8/16 after being up a month it has just shy of 3,000 comments and as of this last update the page views are very good, so well in fact that it has harvested over $100 in page views, which is great! My fourth article, while it does not have as many comments, it is also over $100 in page views. I am getting traffic to my articles.
To every success, there is a down side as well. I no longer get comments on my articles; I have turned off the email notifications about comments because I was getting traffic to fast for my articles.
Keyword or phrase it heavily and it just might begin getting traffic to your articles, with the long awaited upsurge in page views. I do not know how long these articles will remain popular, each of the ten titles on this topic are getting traffic to my articles right now, but I know someday the game will not be as popular. I am already plotting my next series of popular articles and I sure hope it does not take another year to find them.
