Article marketing is a simple, yet very effective way of growing traffic to your website. With article marketing you write content and place it on article directories such as this one.You will get traffic via a variety of methods.

And in yet more cases you will get a variety of backlinks from the articles which will raise your postion in the search engines.
One of the nice things about article marketing is you can write about your niche and write what you like. There is no one to dictate to you what is right or wrong. So long as you write in a quality fashion about general topics then you will have little problem getting your articles approved. Of course you will want to make sure you run a spell check and that your grammar is on target.
Though many sites do not allow affiliate links in articles you write there are some that do and you will want to add some links if you desire. However, in most cases you are best off to link to a sales page on your site and not directly to a product page. By linking to a sales page on your site you are much more likely to get a positive result.
It is also good to have a strong closure in your article so that the reader is encouraged to stop by your site to learn more. Avoid long drawn out biographies of your self. People like to read things they are interested in and that is going to be information they need to know, not info about you.
Article marketing cam be a great way to share quality content and drive traffic!
