Are you using article marketing to build your online business yet? Why not? One big part of any online business must be article marketing if you want one of the best no cost methods for driving targeted traffic to your sites or blogs. I know that it can be intimidating when you first get started but once you get into a routine you can see some profitable results.
Article marketing will allow you to build your reputation in the social networking arena and allow people to get to know you through your personality that comes through in your writing style. It is a good outlet for your creativity, as articles can be based on your personal experiences, services and products.
If you are just starting out it may take a little while for you to experience the benefits of your articles, because just a few articles doen’t make that much of an impact. However, if you consistantly create quality content you will build up a following.
Articles take some time to be picked up by different syndication services. So each article you write could show up some where unexpectedly in as little as just a few months and once your article is out there it will continue to be viewed by people searching for information that you write about.
Do your due diligence and educate yourself in article marketing and copy writing styles, and do keyword research so that you can better target your target market. Utilizing copy writing methods that use trigger words will help get your readers to take action and visit your site or blog.
Although article marketing can seem like a tedious step in your marketing routine you could always outsource it however most people can tell a crappy article from one with truly valuable content.
Remain consistent and success will be yours,

In this world you only have two types of assets: Money and Time. The laziest way to drive traffic to your site is to buy it. But if you are an Internet marketing beginner you probably don’t have much money to invest in traffic building. In that case, you will need to invest your time.
One successful way to do just that is by using viral ebooks . By using the correct methods it can provide a flood of website visitors for years to come.
The following traffic techniques are time consuming, but they are 100% free and will get you a fair amount of targeted traffic. If your site is properly optimized for monetization, you will soon be earning enough money to invest in buying traffic, and save your precious time to build new money making websites.
So here are 11 reliable free traffic techniques:
This tip is so obvious it will not even be counted, but it is often missed: submit your site to the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN) and to as many other search engines as you can.
1. Write 5 to 10 articles and submit them to the free article directories. Of course you must include a link to your site in the article itself or in your bio box. The articles should be optimized for a keyword your site is targeting.
2. Locate related to your topic and leave useful comments with a backlink to your site. In the same way you could go to answers.yahoo.com, and answer questions related to your site’s topic. Off course put a link to your site in each of your answers. Another thing you should consider is joining the most popular forums that deal with your site’s topic and becoming an active poster. Include a link to your site in your signature.
3. This one can be very impressive Write a press release about your site and submit it to press release sites such as prweb.com. If you are not familiar with press releases, take some time to do a little research: a press release is not written like an article.
4. If you are happy with a product or service you have used, write an unprejudiced testimonial and trade it for a backlink to your site.
5. Start a blog on blogger.com and a blog on wordpress.com, link them to your site and submit them to the hundreds of free blog directories. This will get you plenty of quality traffic as long as you keep your blogs updated.
6. Try posting ads with a link to your site on all the free classified ad sites you can find (such as craigslist.com). The best ones will allow you to post a live link. But don’t neglect the other ones. If your ad is well written, people will go out of their way and type your url in their browser. Off course you must post in the appropriate category.
7. An easy way to get extra free traffic is to add a link to your site in your email signature.
8. Start a page on myspace.com and on any other high page rank social bookmarking site you can find. In the same way, go to Squidoo.com, open a few accounts, create a few lenses and link them to your site.
9. Submit a viral video to youtube.com. You don’t really need any video producing know-how as a simple PowerPoint slideshow with some background music will do the job perfectly.
10. Search your main keywords on Google and see if you can exchange reciprocal links with related websites that come up in the top results.
11. You could write an ebook or a short report (say 10 to 20 pages), or find a product with giveaway rights that you can brand with a link to your site. Then submit it to all the free ebook directories you can find online.
This last tip is not free, but is worth the extra buck. Check out the misspellings or variations of your domain name, or those of your competitors. If you find a good available domain, grab it and redirect the traffic to your site.

Invest 30 minutes to an hour daily in building your free traffic. Then step to your next favorite technique and within a few weeks you should be earning enough money to afford to buy traffic and concentrate your time and efforts on building your online business.
