Getting more traffic with your articles can often seem like searching for a missing puzzle piece in the dark. Once you finish writing your articles, how do you ever get more traffic besides submitting to article directories? These are common questions many people have with article marketing. Fortunately there are a few things you can do to reach more of your target audience. Check out these overlooked strategies for getting more traffic and leads from Google with your articles.

Optimize Your Articles With The Right Keywords

Without the right keywords, it’s virtually impossible for anyone to find you in Google, Yahoo, or MSN. Before writing an article, take some time to do keyword research to find relevant keywords that people are searching for. Ideally, you’ll want to have at least 2-3 keywords or phrases that have a medium search volume (2000-3000 searches) and relatively low competition (< 20,000 results).

Make sure to include these keywords in your title and throughout the article body. As long as you don’t over do it, you’ll be able to show up in Google’s search results whenever someone searches for these keywords.

Use Social Bookmarking To Boost Your Rankings

After optimizing your article keywords, it’s important to get links to your article in order to improve your position in Google and increase the number of people who find your article. Use social bookmarking services such as socialmarker, delicious, and Digg to bookmark your articles and improve your rankings in Google. You can also use social bookmarking software such as Social Bookmarking Demon to automate your bookmarking.

Promote Your Articles With Squidoo Lenses And Hubpages

Besides article directories another great way to promote your articles is to use social media sites such as Squidoo, Hubpages and Twitter to drive traffic to your articles. These sites separately get millions of visitors each month and give you the chance to get even more people to read your articles. You can also get a lot of great links from these sites and boost your position in the search engines.

One of the biggest problem many writers face is simply the time it takes to research and write articles that get attention and drive traffic to your website. If you want to write irresistible articles faster and make more money, you’ll want to use the latest tools that help automate your article research and save dozens of hours so you can write faster and get more customers.
