The backbone of a website is not simply traffic but rather, targeted traffic. A website that is successful will have a flow of visitors that are searching for specific information, products or services by a given website. We are not talking about the casual lookers, these are searchers who have found the website that satisfies their requirements. There are numerous methods to attract such visitors and article marketing is one of the most effective and powerful.

One of the absolute advantages of article marketing is that it is generally free. You simply write an article and submit it to many of the free article directories. The article is then found by those searching for such information and often given with the author's consent and displayed on other websites. This link contained within the article will direct the viewer back to the author's website. So what we have is a targeted lead that was generated from an article that was free and then distributed to other directories that are also free.

You should regard article marketing as free advertising for your website. Submitting articles to other websites presents a grand opportunity to advertise your website without paying high fees normally associated with advertising. What you must keep in mind is that your article should not be written as a blatant advertising piece for your product or service on your website. The real purpose of the article is to raise interest by giving an excerpt of information and to make sure the reader wants to investigate further and click on the link to your website.

Your objective should be to use articles as a means of improving your search engine page rank. Your website should have an article index where visitors can click on and read the various articles you have. A major benefit of having these articles is what they can do to improve your website as the search engines see and index them. As you are constantly adding releveant content to your website and making it "deeper" by creating article pages full of content, (including numerous keywords of your subject in the title and content of the body) the search engines will classify the website as a highly relevant source of information and index it higher up in terms page rankings.

Another great benefit of article marketing is that of increasing your websites link popularity. As every article is submitted, you will include a resource box that gives brief details about your website and include a link directly to it. This will definitely be indexed by the search engines and when your article is redistributed around the web, other websites that pick up your article will become a link partner automatically. So obviously, the more articles you have, the more links that you will be a prat of on the web with a link pointing directly at your website. The search engines take into account the number and quality of the links pointing to your website and rank it accordignly.

So now you can see that by publishing a single, well written article, you can create a powerful process, which is free that provides a much improved page rank for your website and all related pages.
